GameHounds

In the spirit of St. Valentine's Day, we're bringing you a heart shaped GameHounds episode. This week, the kids of GH — Holy Goalie, Nick Dinicola, and Edie Sellers — chat up the old beast with two backs. Or more specifically, they discuss sex and games. Is it necessary? Has it ever been too much? Has it ever been not enough? It's up to you to decide, because, baby, we're talkin' about YOUR games....

Sometimes GameHounds is about news. Sometimes it's about games. Sometimes it's all about Skyrim. Actually, lately it's frequently been all about Skyrim, ... but that's another post. This week, our intrepid GameHounds hosts — Holy Goalie, Nick Dinicola, and Edie Sellers — discuss one big news-related topic: Used games and their pros and cons. This comes from a recent rumor from Kotaku that the next...

Let's be honest. It's a lot more than 99 problems. The first one being a computer that won't talk to your recording software. That didn't stop the GameHounds kids from getting it done for another episode of GameHounds Podcast. Nick Dinicola, Holy Goalie, and Edie Sellers rip out a short podcast and a long Rumor Mill — you know, the part where they talk about spoilers and tips for Skyrim. We promis...

Sometimes podcasts have a life of their own. The conversation turns and then it just goes. That's what happens this week with GamerEdie Sellers, Nick Dinicola, and Holy Goalie. It's kinda like Skyrim: Just when you think you're done, you discover a whole new uncharted territory. Of course, Skyrim plays a large part in the length of this show. The trio not only discuss the game, which has become mo...

I know. Christmas is over. But keep in mind, podcasts exist in the past. Or, more accurately, in the podcasting world, you exist in the future. The fuuuuuuture! This episode, recorded on the birthday of co-host Edie Sellers, goes over a bunch of stuff. Edie, Nick Dinicola, and Holy Goalie get a visit from a listener who defends Batman: Arkham City, Nick breaks his Skyrim cherry, and the gang go ov...

It's nearly year end, so it's time for us to look back on the last 365 days of gaming and pick our favorites. This week, the GameHounds cast (Edie Sellers, Nick Dincola, and Holy Goalie) pick the best of the year and explain why these games stand above all others. Show notes? Nah. When you're talking about what can only be considered as the Academy Awards of gaming, it needs no steenking show note...

What do podcasters do when a single game takes up every single minute of gaming-related spare time? They do an entire show about that game. In a season where the biggest of the triple-A games are hitting market, one has become a massive time and energy sink: Skyrim. Edie Sellers, Holy Goalie, and Nick Dinicola devote this entire episode on Skyrim — the ups, the downs, the pluses, the minuses. The...

Seems the only streaming Holy Goalie likes is the kind he does in the bathroom. Yeah, that was uncalled for. Sorry. In this rant-fueled episode, Holy Goalie lets us know exactly what he thinks about video-streaming services, while Nick Dinicola and Edie Sellers sit back and enjoy the show. They also hit the news, including: Skyrim, Assassin's Creed, and Modern Warfare, oh my! Does there need to be...

What can we say? Holy Goalie has now taken over the show! It's pandemonium! Okay, maybe not pandemonium. Mostly it's co-hosts Nick Dinicola and Edie Sellers ignoring just about everything that spouts outta Goalie's pie-hole. What else is new? But seriously, our intrepid hosts once again hit the gaming news, including: Siri outage hits the GameHounds, as evidenced by Episode 161. iOS 5 to iTunes 10...

It's a well-known fact: If you don't like that game you don't like, it's not the game. It's you. You're what's wrong with country. The zombies. The plague. Autism. The one percent... and you. Because surely, it is not the game. The game is great. You just can't understand it or handle it. Just ask Jeff Minter. That's the syndrome we tackle this week in the GameHounds podcast. Which game is it? Wel...

Yeah, we are going to need a montage. But let's face it, everything would be better with a montage. I mean, think about it. Instead of going to work and slaving away for eight or nine hours, you could just play a montage. You wouldn't need to slog off to class every day for four years to get that degree — just play a montage. And in two short minutes you could be on your couch with a beer in hand....

Look, in this world of Plants vs. Zombies, Alien vs. Predator, Red vs. Blue, Good vs. Activision... There's a lot of "versus" going around. So why not bring the versus a little closer to home, right? This week, our three intrepid podcasters — Edie Sellers, Nick Dinicola, and Holy Goalie — chat about good vs. bad when it comes to the week's releases. And they chat up the news. So why not hold Ears...

Cough. Hack. Yeah, this should be titled the Cold and Flu Season episode. That's what's held up this podcast. GameHounds HQ has been crushed by illness, with everyone in the household dead on their feet and hacking up furballs. Fortunately, you can't get the flu over the internet, so GamerEdie didn't spread the plague to co-hosts Nick Dinicola and Holy Goalie. Nor did she give it to special guest,...

Yep, it's that time of the year, my friends. PAX Prime is behind us, and being that we had two of our writers there, we brought them both on the show. It's a four-man squad of preview awesome, with GamerEdie Sellers, Holy Goalie, Nick Dinicola, and special guest Chris Salazar. And boy, do we have the red-hot previews for you. What games, you ask? Well, lemme tell ya (and we'll even give you time s...

Gasp! It's a miracle! The GameHounds staff finally put up a podcast. Yes, we admit, this is pretty bad. We were out for almost a month. Between Burning Man and PAX, there was a lot going on, and we haven't had a chance to sit down and chat. We miss our podcast buddies terribly. In this episode, recorded before PAX, Nick Dinicola, Holy Goalie, and Edie Sellers chat up games and then take a departur...

It's that time of the week. As the Ides of July roll toward the Ides of August, it's time for us to don our togas and get into a bacchanalia of gaming news. Our esteemed Holius Goalius, Nickus Dinicolus, and Ginger Bitchus Maximus bring you the news this week, including: Driver: San Francisco for the PC connection. Harmonix is to celebrate its 3,000th song. Bioware is letting . Popcap makes a The...

Hey, we got a full house this week. After a week with only two of three hosts, it's nice to have everyone back in their assigned seats and ready for some book-learnin'. Nick Dinicola, Holy Goalie and Edie Sellers are thwarted slightly by the lack of gaming news, so this show has that lazy summer feel. They do end up finding a suprising amount to chat up, though, including: It l: Suda 51's Lollypop...

Finally, we're back to normal. Well, almost normal. This week, we're a two-man show with GamerEdie Sellers and Nick Dinicola holding down the fort, as Holy Goalie fixes his broken computer. In this week's show, topics include: Nintendo brings The West-Zampella vs. Activision case surface about Team Bondi. Get ready for... . Enjoy.

"You run and you run to catch up with a sun that's sinking, racing around to come up behind you again." Yup. That's been our week. Sorry this episode is hitting you on a Wednesday. Have not had a spare second. In short, here's the topics: The Supreme Court . Huzzah! Nintendo Wii U will support 3-D, Nyko to let you reduce the Kinect's need for space. Netflix expands streaming options. We suggest yo...

Hey all. You know us. We love writing show notes. However, this morning, our esteemed podcast producer had her purse stolen and is now spending all her spare moments calling credit card companies to cancel accounts. So, yeah. Time isn't something we have to post notes. However, we do have the podcast. In this final episode of Leah Haydu being a GameHounds staffer, enjoy a nice relaxed podcast. In...

It's Monday, Monday. It's better than Friday, Friday... Okay, enough of that. Here's this week's episode of GameHounds Podcast, unfortuntately without Holy Goalie. Fear not, GameHoundians: Edie Sellers, Leah Haydu, and Nick Dinicola muscle through a Goalie-free week of news and information. This week's topics include: Double Fine Studios will get publishing rights for Psychonauts from Majesco. Go,...

We've mostly recovered from the news torrent called E3. Mostly. Still, there was so much to talk about. In this first full episode with all four of our hosts together, we got to review once again the big news of E3 — what we liked, what we hated, and what simply confused us. This episode is simply put in four parts: Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, and games. Edie Sellers, Leah Haydu, Nick Dinicola, and...

You thought we were busy yesterday, you should see us today. Twice as much keynotes, twice as many guests, same length, more or less. We actually managed to — yet again — be fraught with technical issues and — yet again — we managed to overcome them to put a show together. We hit the highs and lows of the Sony and Nintendo press conferences with Edie Sellers, Nick Dinicola, Leah Haydu, and visitin...

Oh, it was hackarific this week. Everything was hacked. You'd think it was practically a Hackpocalyse... Oh, maybe that was a bad choice of words. But despite the veritable Judgement Day of pirates and cyber ne'er-do-wells, Holy Goalie, Nick Dinicola, Leah Haydu, and Edie Sellers managed to keep themselves raptured by the gaming news. And a few reviews. Topic include: LA Noire OMG! The Playstation...
