Recorded June 6th, 2011. While the boys were gone, Jack and David sit down to talk about E3 and Sony's Problems Dinner Time 071 – Hacker Sandwich - [download]

Today was the first official day of E3. After one last, and slightly underwhelming, press conference from Nintendo, it was time to step foot onto the show floor and play some games. The list of games we saw and played on the first full day was long but it still pales in comparison to the number of games we have yet to see. We cover some big titles that were shown behind closed doors and talk about the games that we got our hands on for the first time ever. Games: Luigi's Mansion 2 Twisted Metal X Darkness 2 Aliens: Colonial Marines XCOM Hitman Absolution Tomb Raider Bioshock Infinite and more... [download] **I apologize but there was a critical error made during the recording that caused us to lose our entire discussions of Deus Ex and Tomb Raider at the end... But we liked them... a lot... mostly**

Day one of E3 is officially over and we sit down on some comfy couches to talk about all of the announcements that were made at the various press conferences that we attended. We talk about everything from hardcore applications for the Kinect with titles like Mass Effect 3 and Ghost Recon to the newly released details for sony's new handheld, the 'Playstation Vita." It was an exhausting day and the number of actual surprises were few but the adventures we had were well worth the energy we spent. With Nintendo's conference first thing in the morning and a day of appointments and hands-on demos, we are sure to have plenty of content to discuss on our Day 2 podcast. In the meantime, get caught up with the Day 1 festivities with our first official podcast of E3 2011! Conferences covered: Microsoft Electronic Arts Ubisoft Sony [download]

On our last regular show before we ship off to LA for E3, our buddy Nate from Bioware joins us for some good ol' video game discussion. While David gives us his impressions of some oldies like 'The Club' and 'Heavenly Sword', Nate gives us some BRIEF insight into Star Wars: The Old Republic. Add in some Witcher 2 for good measure and you got yourself a great show! In the news, we cover the newly announced Call of Duty Elite, Metro Last Light, and then shed some light on the rumors currently circulating about the new Devil May Cry and Metal Gear Solid games. We would like to thank Nate again for once again subjecting himself to our tom-foolery. Tune in next week for our E3 2011 podcasts from Los Angeles California! See ya on the West Coast!

We sincerely apologize to anyone who is offended by the title of this podcast... Now that I got that out of the way, it's time to talk about games! Like the calm before the storm, our impressions segment is narrowed in the weeks leading up to our trip to E3. We talk about some L.A. Noire, Viking, Homefront, and some weird game called Blood Will Tell. In the news we cover a lot of the rumor mill including some surprising rumors surrounding some popular IPs; both new and old. As the night winds down, we debate the differences between annual game releases for series like Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty and what it means for those franchises.

The week has finally arrived and the (surprisingly) crowded summer release window kicked off with a bang with the release of L.A. Noire. With many of us having been rather nervous about the potential problems that the game might have, we spend some time discussing our initial impressions of the game. Some might say we spent too much time discussing it so we cover a few other recent titles like Outland, Metro 2033 (SPOILER WARNING - 54 min mark) and Brink. In other news... WTF!? Monolith is making a multiplayer Batman download game? Modern Warfare 3 was announced? Steam daily deals!? With E3 less than a month away, the crazy gaming news seems to be blowing up lately.

In our second official spoilercast of 2011, Nick, Brad, and Nolan sit down to discuss the ins and outs of Bioware's latest hit, Dragon Age 2. Seeing as the original Dragon Age ranks among the most talked about games on 4Player Podcast, the sequel is not surprisingly a hot topic for us this year. We cover everything from the complex plot to the intricacies of the combat and dialogue systems. If you like dragons, swords, and Brad's highly inappropriate sense of humor, this is the show for you!

It's Tuesday again and you know what time it is. After taking a week off from the regular podcast to play D&D and record our Portal 2 spoilercast, we return in full force. In impressions we cover everything from Nin Nin Jump to Mortal Kombat 9 to Outland with a little Red Faction Armageddon for good measure. We discuss our opinions of big announcements like the Mass Effect 3 delay and the newly unveiled Assassin's Creed Revelations and then we shed a tear for the developers who have been affected by the nasty PSN outage that started nearly 3 weeks ago. In addition to the content we usually bring to your earholes, our "Chatter 4 the Week" challengers duke it out over the top spot in truly memorable fashion and Brad accidentally looks at gay porn.

While David is in Seattle frolicking with Joseph at Sakura Con, Carlos joins Nick and Brad to discuss the week in gaming. In a week as important as this, you might expect us to be talking about Portal 2 but alas, Carlos decided he wanted to play 50 Cent Bulletproof... how odd. While the majority of our Portal 2 discussion will be held until our upcoming Portal 2 special, we still squeeze in some Socom 4, Motorstorm Apocalypse, and Mortal Kombat discussion. In the news we talk about Nintendo, PSN, and our hopes and dreams in relation to the upcoming Hitman game. Hunker down and clean out your ear holes folks, it's another episode of 4Player Podcast.

Instead of talking about boring video games this week, we talk about the things that really matter... like Nintendo's terrible environmental habits and Brad's life as a closet headbanger. That was a joke. Actually David talks Metro 2033 and Saint's Row while Brad fills us in on why Divinity 2 shouldn't be overlooked. In the news, we speculate about the release of Nintendo's next console and the repercussions that this may have on the future of the Zelda franchise.

In a rather nice change of pace, there is a ton of industry news to cover including some fairly high-profile game announcements (Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City anyone?), Kojima's new position as VP, game cancellations, and Platinum Games plan to revive Japanese game development.

It's Nintendo 3DS day and we celebrate as we always do by talking about it! Brad raves about his latest under-appreciated gem, Monster Tale, before Nick let's his love for Crysis 2 rain from the heavens. The biggest news this week is that Duke Nukem was delayed so don't expect much on that front. We make up for it with another fun filled community segment and some viewer questions. If you want to see how easily we get side tracked from viewer Q&A, this might be the show for you. 2011 continues to impress so dive back into our glorious, gyrating show.

We play catch up by talking about games for a good hour and a half before the conversation spirals out of control and goes full retard.

We are all over the place this week! Nolan joins the ranks at the table this week as we discuss everything from Resident Evil's downward spiral to the Dragon Age 2 demo! We fit some Bulletstorm, De Blob 2, Tactics Ogre, and even Majora's Mask in the show for good measure. In the end, there was a lot to cover this week and I think it is safe to say that 2011 is finally starting to look up. The releases are starting to hit and the news is beginning to look up. We cover a lot of ground so download and tune in!
