While it may all seem like the Saladcast is suspiciously focused this week, behind the scenes the ghouls of the ‘ween cut the power on the casting you seek. We were onto some good stuff but got cut off and lost it all so you'll have to live with this one instead. Rob gets enthusiastic about Heavy Rain, Dan presents him with more ranting opportunities thanks to GTA IV’s return. Zac rounds off the package and takes us to Minecraft’s Nether, learn words with Super Scribblenauts and revisits Molyneu...

Apologies for the slightly delayed Saladcast this time. Kuala Lumpur waits for nobody. Once again we are graced by the presence of Eddie, this time to take us through the mysterious land of Sports games in the form of Fifa 11 and the equally realistic sporting title Super Street Fighter IV. The rest of us meander through numerous topics including Supreme Commander with Zac, Halo Reach with Dan and Sonic 4 with Rob's frowny face to name but a few.

We are joined this episode by special guest Eddie Ngai who is primarily a Playstation gamer! Fancy that! With two eerily similar names, Move and Reach are the order of this episode courtesy of Eddie and Rob. Zac blows off some steam about Civ V and Dan treads into lands that were once Uncharted but are now slightly charted. Maybe that's why it’s called Uncharted 2.

Dan is alive! And he's in my house! How could we miss the opportunity to podcast with such convenient circumstances? With difficulty! Zeg takes us through being a Recettear, Rob contemplates EA's new online games and Dan is alive! Isn’t that news enough?

I thought this week went slightly better than our last attempt to cast without Dan. The universe has other plans though and a slew of technical issues may affect today's performance. Glitchy networks and the wrong microphone lead to an inferior sound. The content itself is much better! It's not really a Minicast as planned either, it’s full length baby! We cover awesome dude of the moment, Scott Pilgrim in his game guise, upcoming release Halo Reach and most of the other Halo games and go totall...

We get quite a lot covered this week as Rob investigates new games available in Demo Land including Limbo, Scott Pilgrim and Hydro Thunder! Dan and Zac do get a bit of a look in though and talk more Civilisation and Red Faction although Rob talks about them too. Why don't we just call it the Rob show and be done with it? I think we may have a new tag list record! We do cover a lot of ground!

Let's just be straight about this. This episode is SPOILERIFIC! Consider this your one and only warning. This does mean we can get Mass Effect 2 out of our system. Rob and Zac also give their Red Faction: Guerilla impressions and we attempt to decipher Inception.
Aug 04, 2010•Ep. 12
I'm not sure we could really have talked much more about Mass Effect 2 this week. Anyway, after explaining the massive gap since the last episode we do talk about some games including a preview impression of Metroid: Other M, in depth Civilisation IV discussion, The Engineer Update and did I mention Mass Effect 2? Did I get away with shifting Zeg from right to left btw?
Jul 24, 2010•Ep. 11
So we attempt do the right thing and talk about all the upcoming games and technology we may not have been paying attention to! Plenty of speculation and doubt is sprinkled over the usual hope that accompanies a good trailer... or at least it appears to be some kind of white powder... doubt is white isn't it?

Once again Zac and Rob occupy the same physical space in the run up to Zeg's PC heaven. Rob gets to speak for some length of time this week about recent drivers Dirt 2 and Sonic and Sega All-Star Racing. The planetary interaction patch for Eve has dropped and Zac gives us the low down... I actually can’t remember what Dan talked about…probably Red Dead Redemption again… maybe we cut him short… listen and find out! Mystery!
Jun 14, 2010•Ep. 9
Dan puts on an epic display giving a complete review of Red Dead Redemption. Zeg talks more Eve patch weirdness and revisits Prince of Persia seeing as its relevant at the moment. Rob plays Dan's game and keeps on mentioning Mass Effect 2 throughout. We also see the addition of a theme tune which I'm told is supposed to make us sound more professional. It's a bit of a remix of an old tune that gave happysalad its name. Cheese is unavoidable.
May 31, 2010•Ep. 8
This week we stay mostly on topic and on games until a flurry of random erupts towards the end. You have been warned. Zeg displays his disgust at the recent Eve patch delay. Dan gives us his final insights into Assassin's Creed 2, hopefully never to mention it again. Rob divulges on his recent Team Fortress woes. Everything in the tag list gets mentioned! Guaranteed!
May 20, 2010•Ep. 7
This week we are joined by special guest Ho-Yee Li providing girly insights into the gaming world. Rob gives his gut reactions to the Halo Reach Beta, Zeg covers the Civilization series, new and old, leaving Dan with MORE Assassins's Creed bla bla. Technical difficulties cut this episode short unfortunately, but it is kinda funny.
May 12, 2010•Ep. 6
This week Rob suffers an initial case of suspicious volume but soon settles down. We start with a wide arc of gaming rant from the limitations of the Wii through a few nostalgia trips back to Eve. Rob talks about this weeks Steam Deal in the form of GRID, Zeg mouths off about TF2's 119th update and Dan gets enthused about Halo Reach.
May 03, 2010•Ep. 5
Dan's radio voice was poisoned by cold last week but we are back, and more on topic! Zeg talks more Borderlands, Eve and some pre XP retro goodies, Rob covers more oldies and indies including Serious Sam leaving just enough time to squeeze in Dan's most recent Team Fortress 2 experiments. Expect a small portion of politics to go.
Apr 25, 2010•Ep. 4
After 2 weeks we find that we may not always have played new games in the space between casts. Thus the random levels increase to "moderate". Rob and Zac give the lowdown on Borderlands whilst Dan continues to gush over Assassin's Creed 2. Featuring non-gaming topics such as Kick-Ass, the iPhone and Charlotte’s poo.
Apr 11, 2010•Ep. 3
This week Rob engineers a better recording rig to prevent ear bleeding. Zac will discuss the joy of hording via Torchlight, Dan gets emotional about Assassin's Creed 2 whilst Rob drops into ODST, 'Splodes and encounters sinister snacks.
Apr 10, 2010•Ep. 2
This is the inaugural Saladcast created a few weeks ago. The recording is sketchy and we're learning as we go but the content is still good. Zac talks about Eve and spots some trains, Rob lets rip on Uncharted 2 and Bioshock while Dan is affected by Mass Effect 2. But first we have to sort out a few things about the podcast.
