Aeropodcast #106: Of Stones and Passage

By Joe Haygood | November 2, 2009

kidneystones-main_Full This week on the Aeropodcast, we go the community service route and explain the pain and suffering that one can have from Kidney Stones and Gall Stones. Well, we only hit on this for a few minutes, but remember kids, drink plenty of water.

From there, we end up discussing one of the controversies that has beset Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, which would be the terrorist mission. Is it too soon for this kind of mission to be available to play in a game, or are we being too sensitive as a society? We also look at things like Vietnam based games and other situations where gamers and deveolpers have had trouble dealing with historical events.

We also have some great stuff from the community, including a return of a regular community member, XCWarrior, who wants to know a few things.

As always, our podcast is produced by Stephen “Grandmaster Flash” Munn, and features music from Revolution Void. You can find their music at www.revolutionvoid.com.

Aeropodcast #105: No Girls Allowed

By Joe Haygood | October 26, 2009

6a00d83451584369e200e54f758c688834-800wi This week, the Aeropodcast team is back, and we decided to tackle the idea of stereotypes in games. How have we been affeccted by stereotypes in our daily life when it comes to our hobby showing up. Have we run into moments of awkward silenece and shame? Or is it just business as normal. And with Vikki on the show, is it even worse for a girl to put her foot in the gaming waters, or does she just get stares that are twice as difficult to deal with.

We also have a full community corner with a rapid fire session provided by community groupie, Jordan Snyder, as well as a walk down game menu memory lane with a question from Lundy3311.

And to keep the podcast high class, we had a moment of British nostalgia as Joe remembers Beanos’, Boots department stores and the ever lovable Yorkie bar. However, we must always remember that Yorkies are not for girls!

The podcast music as always, is brought to you from Revolution Void, and their songs can be found at www.revolutionvoid.com. The podcast is mixed by resident DJ, Stephen “Trance” Munn.

Aeropodcast #104 – Fourhman Phones It In

By Joe Haygood | October 20, 2009

dock With the podcast down one man this week, we decided to hit up the community for some topics. However, one of those comments from one Jordan Snyder, drew Fourhman out from the House of Mouse to call in and retort. To say it is epic is selling it short.

We also took the time to sit discuss some of the recent hulabaloo on the web surrounding the complaints over the recent scores that Uncharted 2 has received from some media outlets. Yes, you read that right, people have been complaining about 9.3, 9.4 and 4.5 out of 5 scores. We just found it interesting that a game that has reviewed so well, is still getting complaints over the review scores being so low.

The podcast music is provided by Revolution Void and they can be found at www.revolutionvoid.com. The podcast is mixed as always by our favorite DJ, Stephen “stop clearing your throat already, Joe” Munn.

Aeropodcast #103: Forgetting the Little Guys Sometimes

By Joe Haygood | October 14, 2009

This week, the Aeropodcast went over a topic that had been a thorn in my side for some time, and that is the idea of purchasing all of these great XBLA, PSN and Steam games that end up just collecting dust on our hard drives. Are we captured by the hype of a game hitting the marketplace, jumping on it, or is the investment of $60 in a full retail title trumping our dedication to these smaller titles.

This week, we ran rather long on the main topic, so we skipped the community corner, but you will be happy to know that this upcoming podcast will feature nothing but community content, so if you have questions, get them in before Friday at 7PM Pacific time. You can email them at tips@aeropause.com, post them in the forum in the Aeropodcast question topic, or phone them in via our voice mail at 206-339-8362.

The podcast was mixed by Stephen Munn, using music from Revolution Void. Look for it at www.revolutionvoid.com.

Aeropodcast #102: We’re Late and British This Time

By Joe Haygood | October 7, 2009

A big apology for this podcast getting to press so late. Real life has been getting in the way of things for the last week and a half, but things are getting better. And believe me, beyond a technical issue for this podcast, it is well worth the wait. Why is that you say? Well, we had our writer from the UK, Vikki, making an appearance on the show. So for once, we have a really good English accent on the show, although a really bad accent shows up as well at one point.

Features in this podcast include shopping for good, not so cutesy DS and DSi games, and the Xbox 360 and PC Ones to Watch titles, so it was not a fanboy oversight that they were not on the site.

Music is provided by Revolution Void, and mixed as always by Stephen Munn.

Aeropause Shows Up at The Gamers Garage

By Joe Haygood | September 29, 2009

AustinPowersInternational Okay, for some strange reason, the guys over at The Gamers Garage decided that they wanted to destroy their podcast, so what better way to do that then to send an Aeropause writer over there. How bad did it get? This tweet should explain all:

Already 5 censor bleeps 10 minutes into this weeks show thanks to @TheDCD @SoldierX and @mclazyj Thanks guys!!!!

Actually, the whole experience was awesome, and if you are interested, check out the podcast at The Gamers Garage. And when you are done listening, make sure you review their podcast as well as our over at the iTunes and Zune marketplaces. Well, hopefully soon, the Zune marketplace.

Thanks to Crash, SoldierX, The DCD and the rest of the guys that were on the podcast with me. Hopefully we can do it again next time, with a few less s-bombs throughout!

Aeropodcast #101: Newfangled I’s, P’s and a Dash of Q’s

By Joe Haygood | September 28, 2009

108inchsanyo

This week on the Aeropodcast, Josh, aka Crash from The Gamers Garage joined Fourhman and Joe to talk shop about all things video gaming related. This week, our topic focused on two major items. First we discussed the game lose/lose, and how this game could end up causing serious detrimental harm to a computer. Is the game art, or just a cleverly disguised virus? We also took a look at the new Nintendo Wii price cut and if it will have a bump or serious sales spike on the NPD numbers. There was also mention of a rebate for the Xbox 360 Elite package that would lower its effective price to $250.

As always, we have community corner with lots of good questions, notable articles, and of course, what are we all playing. Also, what does “orangutang afterbirth” have to do with anything? Find out inside.

Aeropodcast #100: Wombat hates CheapyD, Fourhman hates Wii, Koss hates Dr. Who, and Haygood Hates His Family

By Joe Haygood | September 21, 2009

What can we say about episode 100? We came strong with a blast from the past, as we had Wombat from CheapAssGamer.com as the surprise guest. We had some big technical issues that ended up killing the first thirty minutes of the show, which we sort of re-recorded. And no animals were harmed during the recording of this show.

We talked about boss battles, Batman, and our best and worst experiences behind working with the podcast. I was joined by my wingmen in recording, Fourhman and Koss in this recording. Also, I would like to say thank you to Koss, Fourhman, George Walker, Shane Whitehouse, Richard Windsor, Levi Thornton, Paul Munn, James Munn and Stephen Munn for coming on during one or more episodes and making this show possible. An extra special thanks to our Mixmaster, Stephen Munn for finding ways to make all of us look good, and salvaging some big problems and making gold out of them.

Music is provided by The Cars, specifically, “Let The Good Times Roll”, and mixed as always by Stephen Munn.

Aeropodcast #99: The Good, The Bad, and the NPDs

By Joe Haygood | September 13, 2009

This week on the Aeropodcast, Koss, Fourhman and Joe looked at the August NPD numbers to see how the PS3 and 360 price cuts did for the last few days of that month, along with the surprisingly strong numbers for one flying rat. Also, we look at the slight drop in the Madden franchise, that left Joe wondering if Madden was finally reaching its tipping point with its fans.

From there, Fourhman and Joe decided to discuss their feelings about The Beatles: Rock Band and how it has not lived up to their visions of what the series could be. The two of them also wonder if they are living in a parallel universe, as they seem to be the only ones that have been kind of down on the game. Koss had not bought the game yet, so see if the pair’s discussion swayed him for or against the title.

Also, it was mentioned that our illustrious Fourhman would be putting together a flipnote cartoon while we recorded the podcast, and you can see the above results. All of the animations came from reader suggestions in the forums. If you would like us to do more things like this, let us know. We are considering playing a multiplayer title while we are on the podcast live, so maybe you can make a PS3 suggestion, since that seems to be about the only common denominator.

As always, the podcast is put together by our mixmaster, Stephen Munn, and his Apple Mixentosh. Please make sure to review the podcast on iTunes, hit up the forums and contribute to the community, and leave us a voice mail at 206-339-8362. We would appreciate it. Our music is from Revolution Void, and they can be found at www.revolutionvoid.com.

I will create a Flipnote LIVE during the podcast

By Joe Fourhman | September 8, 2009

aerodsi And you guys are going to help!

Nintendo’s free Flipnote Studio application for the DSi is pretty cool. The tools are impressive and the ability to upload and share finished animations via the web is unlike anything Nintendo has ever offered. Somebody might actually make a flying penis movie and upload it! Quelle horreur!

Anyway, I’d like to get some nominations of things to include in the cartoon, Whose Line Is It Anyway? style. Just comment here or head to the forums and post some (hopefully) game-related items for me to work in. Simple stuff, please. For example, “Mario.” Don’t kill me with “recreate that time when the zombie dogs jump at you though the window in Resident Evil 1.”

I will work on the animation as we record the Aeropodcast this weekend (probably Friday, 9/11). Should be funny to hear the guys try to distract me as I’m scribbling. If I’m lucky the topic will be something I’m dumb about, like “Microtransaction Models In Various PC MMOs” or “Great Hardcore Uses For Project Natal.”

So let’s hear your suggestions! I can’t promise I’ll use all of them, but I will do my best to accommodate.
