Look! In the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's SUCKY SUPERMAN SATURDAY! Brad graces us with his opinions on just about every Superman game to ever release. David shifted gears and plowed through Infamous this week. Could it be that David is finally broadening his horizons and starting to play PS3 games. Let the trophy race begin! (?) News was light but we still manage to squeeze some good discussion out of topics like the newly announced Twisted Metal release date and the potentially short single player campaign in Id's next masterpiece, Rage. Do you like gaming? What are you waiting for! Download this podcast, take off your pants, and relax.

We relax and let it hall hang out this week, or Faith does for that matter. We talk Dragon Age 2, New Vegas DLC, Swarm, Okamiden, and braless cosplayers so prepare yourselves. 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. Our community segment leads to some pretty outrageous discussions and we take a few minutes to answer viewer questions from the forums.

I know it's been awhile but Cocktail Time is back! And what better way for Cocktail Time to be back than for Joseph to be pretty damn drunk AND get the show number wrong at the beginning of the show. Not only that, the entire thing abruptly ends when the Comcast internet goes down! YAY! Other than that Joseph Christ sits down with Carlos and David to talk about all things video games, alcohol and drunken stupidity! [download] Add Cocktail Time on Facebook.

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. You know... sometimes I wish the ESRB would rate our show and write a description of it for us to release to the public. It would be funny and it would save me the time and effort of having to pull these show descriptions out of my ass every week. Cheers!

It's official. We are gonna burn in hell after this one. We come back to our regularly scheduled podcast; hot off the tails of PAX East 2011. 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 had to skip viewer questions this week so Carlos can tell his perverse story about how he watched animated hardcore pornography in a room packed full of dudes. It was a fun show (...and possibly very offensive) so join us once again as we take the topic of gaming and cram it into your ear holes.

Welcome to day 1 of 4Player Podcast's coverage of PAX East 2011 in Boston Massachusetts! Brad, Nolan, and Carlos made the journey and have already spent an entire day seeing and playing the games that the public will be playing later this year. Some of these games are games we saw at E3 or PAX Prime but a lot of it is stuff that is being shown for the first time so it's definitely an exciting show.

That's a joke; Brad actually rants about the everlasting, unchanging pokemon series. On a more positive note, lesser known quantities like Raiden, Hydrophobia, Yakuza, and the much beloved, Beyond Good & Evil, get some love this week.

It is officially official, Activision is taking over the world.
