When trying to stand out in a oversaturated marketplace, the only thing sometimes separating one person's (or company's) product from another is hype. The question is, when does hyping something up betray the product/media at hand? This is the question we hope to discuss and maybe shed light on for this week's episode of Constantly Calibrating. Also, some news on the Ant-Man film, Daredevil on Netflix, Nintendo's next dick move, and...suspended animation being a reality.
This week on Constantly Calibrating we're featuring an interview with Kristen Nedopak, creator of The Geekie Awards. Prior to that we also discuss thoughts on Batman's design for Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice, and the potential YouTube buyout of Twitch.
On today's episode we were joined by Nichole Nance (Itty Bitty Geek) to try and answer the question "Is lack of gender choice a legitimate reason to not play a game?" Let us know your own thoughts in whatever comment area you find this podcast.
Our dynamic trio is back together again after a series of vacations & other shenanigans. This week, Josh, Brad, & Justin look at some recent news before moving onto our main topic: Star Wars. This past weekend was Star Wars Day (or May the 4th) and Josh felt it was time to come clean on his hatred of this yearly event. Beyond that, we talk about the death of the old expanded universe in Star Wars and where we hope it goes to now, plus ideas about the recent casting announcements for Epis...
Josh and Justin are out this week! So Brian and Brad team up together for the first time to bring you updated news about Constantly Calibrating, the slow death of retail, and DC's inevitable rank behind Marvel's cinematic universe.

The Game Boy is 25 years old this week, which means that Brad & Josh are feeling particularly nostalgic and depressed about aging. This week's trio discusses memories of the system, as well as our lives with it.

This week on Constantly Calibrating, we discuss some thoughts on this past weekend's PAX East event, including what excited us the most. From there we ponder what are the best and worst examples of Nerdy In-Jokes in pop culture, before heading into our main discussion on our favorite (and least favorite) secondary characters in gaming.
It's episode 91 of Constantly Calibrating, which means it's time for change to our usual format!

This week we discuss Marvel's Cinematic Universe being planned out til 2028 & news that Microsoft may pursue Xbox 360 emulation on the Xbox One. Finally, this week we're launching (planned) monthly debates on the podcast. This month's debate is about the morality of botting, powerlevel...

On this week's Constantly Calibrating we ponder the rumors of Peter Capaldi only being on Doctor Who for one series, much like predecessor Christopher Eccleston.

In addition we chat about World of Warcraft's next expansion Warlords of Draenor, thoughts on Arrow and its own rumor-mill, plus at the age of 29-years-old (nearly), I, Joshua Silverman, have learned t...
It took 86 episodes before Josh's brain finally broke, rendering him incapable of coming up with a proper joke title. Oh well, that's life. On this week's episode, Brad, Josh, and Justin discuss what they've been playing the last week, rumors of a Mass Effect Trilogy re-release, Batman Arkham Knights unveiling, and finish it off with a whole bunch of South Park: The Stick of Truth gentle spoiler filled discussion.

Then you're in luck, as Josh & Brad delve into shows like Arrow & Agents of Shield, as well as the first Guardians of the Galaxy trailer. There are also gaming discussions in the form of The Wolf Among Us Episode 2, Fable Anniversary, and some potentially shocking thoughts on Titanfall with its recent beta. Give it a listen, as we have a feeling you'll enjo...
For this week's journey down the auditory rabbit hole we take an in-depth look at both Fable Anniversary, as well as some more thoughts on Everquest Next Landmark.

Everquest Next Landmark's Alpha is upon us, and it is good! On this week's episode Brad & Josh discuss their thoughts after 48 hours in the game's semi-tumultuous alpha experience.

That, plus prior discussions on changes to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Amazing Spider-Man 2's latest trailers, and...
Spring is fast approaching from within the wintery hell most of us find ourselves in, which means it's time for our annual Springtime Gaming Showcase (name pending). This week we showcase 9 (or more) of our most anticipated games releasing through June of this year; games such as Titanfall, Fable Anniversary, Watch_Dogs, WildStar, Final Fantasy X/X-2, and much more.

On this week's episode our intrepid team discusses casting news for Marvel's Ant-Man, thoughts on the future of the Amazing Spider-Man movie series, and why Sean Connery should be a super hero. That plus a late game rant against SimCity (progress) and much more!
You ever have one of those nights where you think to yourself, "Why did I name my podcast after the act of fixing something? Won't the universe feel like I'm taunting it, making it difficult to record?" If so, then we have much to discuss. This week on ConCal out dynamic trio ran afoul of a non-recording recording program, which led to 45 minutes of lost audio. Never fear, as the episode is still a glorious discussion of Steam sales, Steam Boxes, a man with two dicks, and a wonderful Peter Molyn...
