Rebel FM

And this weeks episode was so well planned. Please join the usual crew of Anthony Gallegos, Arthur Gies, and Philip Kollar and our special guests Tyler Barber and Robert Ashley as we demonstrate exactly how off-topic a video game podcast can get! This weeks music is courtesy of Death From Above 1979(Romantic Rights), Evergreen Terrace (Chaney Can't Riff Quite Like Helmet), and The Pains of Being Pure at Heart (Young Adult Friction). This is probably why there was never any alcohol consumed during GFW Live.

Hello all, and welcome to Volume Two of our Rebel FM Game Club series on Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth. This week, we played through to the end of The Escape From Innsmouth section of the game, and next week we'll be playing through to the end of the Boat Sequence.

Nick bids farewell to the Rebels as he heads off to a new job, freelancer Tyler Barber stops by for a discussion on "Mature" content in games -- and all that implies -- and impressions are shared of F.E.A.R. 2, GTA: Lost and Damned, flower, and more.

We kick off Backlog 2.0 -- Rebel FM Game Club -- with the first few hours of Call of Cthulu, up to the "sewers" section. Next week, we'll be playing through the "escape from Innsmouth" portion.

This week we're joined by WhatTheyPlay's John Davison and MTV Multiplayer's Patrick Klepek, to give impressions of Halo Wars, Killzone 2, Fallout 3 DLC, and more, discuss the casual/hardcore gamer divide, and answer a few letters in which what is yours is replaced with prizes.

Our usual cast of house cats are joined by Area 5.tv's Ryan O'Donnell and Jay Frechette, along with freelancer Kat Bailey. We discuss the Dawn of War II Beta, RE5, and Afro Samurai, before getting into an epic debate about the nature of shooters (featuring Half-Life and Killzone 2). And, yes, we finally select the first Backlog 2.0 game, along with some listener letters.

This week we're joined once again by Area 5's Ryan O'Donnell and Matt Chandronait to discuss what we've all been playing, share our thoughts on narrative in gaming, and explore the heights of sarcasm (in invoice form).

This week we're joined by Geekbox.net's Ryan Scott and Italy's Giancarlo Varanini, as we discuss what we've been playing recently, the ups and downs of the reviews process, and answer some more letters from a recently closed magazine. And stick around for a very thorough shout-out to those who have helped us thus far.

Episode two finds us feelin' fine, as special guests Shane Bettenhausen (who tells us where the hell he's headed to work next) and Andrew "Skip" Pfister (King of All 'Casts) join us to reminisce about our best/worst 1UP/EGM memories, and chat about our favorite games of last year. Infinite thanks for all the support, and thanks Karen for the logo!

Join Nick Suttner, Philip Kollar, Matt Chandronait, Ryan O'Donnell, Jade Kraus and Arthur Gies for talk of the recent 1UP debacle, what they've been playing, and a taste of things to come.
