GameHounds

Originally, we were just going to post this as a straightforward interview. And then all you listeners started speculating. Who did Edie talk to? Was it CliffyB? Was it Will Wright? So rather than wreck the surprise by just telling you, you're just going to have to listen. Suffice to say, it was an honor and a privilege to spend a half-hour with this gentleman as he demoed his hotly anticipated up...

We hit the midway point for E3 2008 today. Being the first day without a major press conferece, Wednesday is all about hitting the games. And there are so many games here it's impossible to do one small woman (or a large one for that matter) to hit them all. Today, Edie did her best, however. Hawkes and Edie wrap up the day's hands-on experiences. The games they cover include: Left 4 Dead Facebrea...

It's day two of E3, though technically it's the first day. Hawkes and Edie round up Sony and Nintendo press briefings, which were -- let's just say they spanned the scope of impressive to laughable. Also, we chat about Edie's hands-on with Bethesda's Fallout 3 and Sega's Total War for the PC. Rather than spending a bunch of time telling you all about it, why don't you just listen. Don't worry, Haw...

As promised, the first installment of the exclusive E3 coverage. Hawkes and Edie discuss Monday's events (thus the .1 of the episode number). Or should we say "event," as the annoucements of Microsoft really ruled the day. Just when we think we had the big green monster all figured out, they throw a curve ball and blow our socks off. Enjoy our take on the Microsoft press briefing, the leaks and ru...

Hey guys. So, it's less than 24 hours before one half of the GameHounds crew jets off to Los Angeles for E3. So time is short. Short enough, in fact, that we really don't have time to do proper show notes for this episode, which unfortunately was recorded later than usual on Saturday night. Here's the quick rundown: Edie and Hawkes discuss this week's demise of Flagship Studios (Hellgate: London),...

You know, we knew it wouldn't last. Hawkes swore off the hate a mere three weeks ago, and this week he rediscovers that rancid little black part of his soul. Edie also finds a good reason to be pissed off, and not just because the one-week mark to E3 and the holiday weekend combined to dry up any hint of really hard gaming news. Welcome back, Mr. Hawkes. That hate eats your stomach, but we love yo...

Humpdate time, kiddies! Simon DI and Edie Sellers once again tear up your Wednesday listening with another episode of the Humpdate. This is an unusually long episode of Humpdate, rivaling that of a regular GameHounds show. Weirdly enough, it's full of gaming news -- a real rarity at this time of the year. The pre-E3 doldrums aren't hitting like they usually do, which is good for you and for us. Lo...

Everyday is like Sunday... Actually, I take that back. Only Sundays have new GameHounds episodes. This week Edie and Hawkes discuss the surprising amount of news in the gaming industry. Surprising because, with E3 mere days away, this time of the year usually doesn't have even a thimble-full of decent stuff to talk about. This year would have been the same, but for one thing: Blizzard dropped the...

Today we really don't have time to set up a full list of topics for the Humpdate. We have to get to work. Rather than making you sit around all day wondering where the hell the Humpdate went, we're posting it this morning and we'll add topics later. Roughly, Simon DI and Edie discuss Sony's huge financial losses at the hands of the PS3, Spore Creature Creator's overnight numbers, Veronica Belmot v...

True, this GameHounds shows up on a Monday, but that doesn't mean it lacks anything from your regular show. Despite an El Nino-like drought of gaming news due to the impending E3 conference, GamerEdie Sellers and Cooper Hawkes still manage to dredge up the best the industry has to offer. And this week, at listener request, we're quieter. No more guarding your ears against the GameHounds assault! T...

Wednesday brings the unofficial start of the unofficial start of the weekend -- the official-unofficial start of the weekend being Thursday. How's that for figuring out something original to say about the Jan Brady of weekdays? It also, however, brings you a new Humpdate episode. Edie and Simon DI dig deep into the first half of the week's news. Despite being deep in the pre-E3 doldrums, there's a...

It's Sunday, and that means your weekly dose of GameHounds is ready for you. This episode you can enjoy listening to Edie lose her ever-lovin' mind as she makes it through her first podcast without benefit of Nicotine. Does she sound different? She certainly felt different. I think even Hawkes was a little scared. Topics after the jump: In this week's podcast, Edie and Hawkes discuss: We think not...

It's Wednesday, and that means your Humpdate is ready to server. Pop it in the oven, set heat to 350 degrees, and bake for approximately 58 minutes. Usually this is the place where we list out our topics. But it's late, and I'm high on Double Chocolate Malted Crunch ice cream and I haven't changed the sheets on the bed. In other words, this week, the show notes are taking a holiday. Let me just br...

It's a day late, but it's not a dollar short. Oh, no. This is GameHounds, and we aren't afraid to talk about what we've played, what we think, and how much tail we got in college. Confused? Well, there's only one solution to that. Check out this week's episode, wherein we cover the regular topics in the gaming industry and a few seriously weird and tequila-infused tangents. Let's just say that Osa...

It's Wednesday and that means a brand, spanking new Humpdate is ready to tickle your ears and caress your brain. This week we used a new feature in our recording software that actually allows us to time our topics. What? You mean the Humpdate will actually be shorter than an hour, like we promised?! Yes! Clocking in at a smidge over 45 minutes, it's just the right amount of time to hit the major t...

Another weekend, another fabulous episode of GameHounds. This time with 100 percent more Hawkes. First, let us apologize for the quality of the "Sing it Hawkes" segment. The ol' Interwebs kinda got overloaded with the marvelous singing and started to get a little weird, and while we tried our best to "fix it in post," the podcast gods would have none of that. It's still mighty amusing, if not perf...

Yes, we know you were expecting a regular GameHounds episode, but forces beyond our control made Hawkes MIA. So rather than make a Hawkesless GameHounds episode, we bring you this week's Humpdate. Despite almost having lost the entire show into the putrid maw of the Internet's famous file-eating monster, we have Xbox Live Arcade news, Ubisoft news, and Metal Gear Solid 4 news, brought to you by Ed...

It's midweek, and that means the GameHounds Humpdate comes to you direct from our temporal lobes to your tympanic membrane. This week, Edie and Simon D.I (of Cyberpunks Gaming Podcast) discuss the recent events of the gaming-news week. Topics and links after the jump... Penny Arcade: On the Rain Slick Precipice of Darkness is aaawwweesome!! More insight as to why Vivendi/Activision and LucasArts p...

This week, our intrepid hosts, Edie Sellers and Cooper Hawkes, test the waters of propriety by going obscenity free! Okay, maybe not "free," but at least an effort was made and the failures were cleansed. Don't worry. This was a test and only a test. GameHounds has not sacrificed itself to the gods of the FCC, Miss Manners or any other stodgy old person. We just wanted to see if we could do it. Su...

The feedback from our forums is in. Almost without exception, you said you'd like to hear a mid-week GameHounds update, and we're not ones to argue with popular opinion. We're still figuring out the bugs and the format, but in our debut episode of the Humpdate (that's what we're calling it for lack of a better title), Edie and Simon DI of hit the latest news since last regular GameHounds episode....

It's only Saturday, but lo, here through the muck and mire cometh the newest episode of GameHounds, Episode 16: My Testes Bring All the Boys to the Yard. Testes? Indeed! Since we recorded before the release of the Gears of War 2 trailer, we discuss these most precious gems and other precious nuggest of the week from the gaming-industry news. Want links? After the jump... . Not only the day-one and...

Another week, another great GameHounds Podcast to tickle your funnybone and delight your gaming senses. This week, Cooper Hawkes and Edie Sellers once again spar on all issues gaming. Well, not all, but a good amount of them. What got their knickers in a twist? Let us tell you: Hawkes and Edie get all soft and mushy about their listeners. Of course, that doesn't mean Hawkes actually received his c...

The title says it all! Listen to Edie Sellers exclaim that her internet problems are all fixed. Marvel at her frustration as we experience technical difficulties not once but MULTIPLE times. Also listen as Edie and Cooper Hawkes discuss sex, relationships, marriage and Melissa Gilbert... hoootttt... More on topic, we cover the week in gaming news: Winners (yes, as in two!) of the Rocketmen: Axix o...

Back after a two-week break, we bring you GameHounds Episode 13: Contest-o-Rama. Why a "contest-o-rama," you ask? Well, that's because we have two -- count 'em -- TWO contests going on. This is your opportunity to win some pretty damned fabulous swag. If we weren't part of it, we would be all over this like a couple of pitbulls in a porkchop factory. What could you win? How about a code for Rocket...

We're back on our regular podcasting schedule, which means we bring you Episode 12: Gerstmann's Revenge on time and in classic GameHound form. On this week's episode, we rehash a few old topics, and some we've touched on before, and we clean up the last of the week's gaming news, including: According to Rob Taylor, deputy editor of Xbox World 360 magazine and the first gaming writer who's finished...
