Sat, 7 Mar 2009 14:00:00 EST 1:17:27 http://riot.haloservers.com/140.mp3 Dan and Dave In which the video show has an extended discussion of site stuff. And Wendys. Show Highlights: * Like Halo Wars? Try the Halo Wars Junkies * Spooky House is a Sandbox variant for braaaaains * The video player's gotten all kinds of upgrades * Up next? THE WORLD. Or at least the site. * Dave's been ten kinds of crazy this week, as has Anthony. Dan... does what he can. * Come shroom with Boing! Docomodake * King of Fighters 98? It's no Street Fighter. * Afro Samurai has th' swears! It's a great experience hampered at times by the gameplay * Extreme Fever continues its outbreak * Warhammer is, unfortunately for them, no WoW * Professor Layton keeps racking up games in Japan... how about bringing them stateside? * More Resident Evil games coming to the Wii. Some of them have videos! * Weekend Deals: now a regular feature * Trade ins: evil? Why do you do it? * How do you guys feel about the name 'Shenanicast'? Sat, 14 Mar 2009 14:00:00 EST 1:15:58 http://riot.haloservers.com/141.mp3 Dan and Dave In which there are many flavors of Mountain Dew Show Highlights: * Same Bat time, different Bat name and format! * That bitch stole 50’s skull, so I’mma try to help him get it back * GTA Chinatown Wars is markedly different from GTA IV, but not necessarily in a bad way * The Oregon Trail: chlamydia is not a disease in the game, apparently * Boing! Docomodake is an interesting game, but a tad too short * Will Nintendo’s history of poor peripheral support fail the Wii Motion Plus from day one? * More editorials coming soon (not this next week, though, despite what we say on the show) * Trailers! Wolverine, but how much of it was gameplay? * Microtransactions on the iPhone could be horrible, but the market will decide it * Hasbro Family Game night is a horrible, stupid, overpriced idea. We like the games, but not the medium and at $10 a pop, no thank you. * Wallace and Gromit out this week! Mmm, British. * More Game Fuel! Mountain Dew is probably the least healthy of the pop family, but it’s so good * What follows is a lengthy discourse on the Dew lineage, long and storied as it is * Do games need multiplayer? * From now on, these discussions will be point/counterpoint Sat, 21 Mar 2009 14:00:00 EST 1:11:39 http://riot.haloservers.com/142.mp3 Dan and Dave In which it’s T Minus an hour til Godwin Show Highlights: * Dave’s cats conspired against Dan * Resident Evil 5 isn’t scary, but it is Resident Evil * Legends of Wrestlemania is a simplified Smackdown with a healthy dose of nostalgia * iPhone games galore! WordFu is fun but short, Oregon Trail is, well, Oregon Trail * Yo Fiddy hit that jump! Blood on the Sand is a surprisingly decent game. * GTA: Chinatown Wars is GTA minus the story with a dollop of drug dealing * Wallace and Gromit is a different breed of adventure game * Coming next week: editorials! Maybe site changes but we promise nothing. * GDC news: Wii getting storage, DS getting a new Zelda and an English Layton, etc * Bionic Commando and Modern Warfare 2 get release dates * Call of Duty: Spongebob Squarepants coming soon * iPhone gets a few retro games: could this be the future? * Prototype looks amazing: if you can elbow drop a tank, we’re sold * OnLive could be on to something, if the cloud can hold up * Digital Distribution: way of the future or created by Nazis? You decide. * Will Steam survive the zombie apocalypse? * Dave sees life in black and white. And swastikas. Sat, 28 Mar 2009 14:00:00 EST 1:02:35 http://riot.haloservers.com/143.mp3 Dan and Dave In which we have a guest third host! This week our third writer, Anthony, joins us for some talk about BBQ larvae, the meaning of puzzle games and some awesome, if horribly unrealistic, videos. We’ve switched back to Mogulus for the video show (go to On Demand to watch from the start), so tune in for some behind the scenes action and Asshole Mario (as opposed to Dick Tetris, which is something entirely different). Apologies for the poor mic quality; three’s a crowd, you know. Wondering where the full shownotes went? Talk about it in the forum. Sat, 4 Apr 2009 14:00:00 EST 1:03:51 http://riot.haloservers.com/144.mp3 Dan and Dave In which it's short and sweet because we have to move a stove Brief and to the point, this week we run through the news before skipping out early so that Dave could help Dan move his stove. It's been a bit of a slow week, but that doesn't mean we can't have our obligatory 'elbow dropping a tank' discussion! Oh, and if you like JRR Tolkein, you may want to skip the start of the show. Sat, 11 Apr 2009 14:00:00 EST 23:00 http://riot.haloservers.com/145.mp3 Dan and Dave In which babies are gonna like zombies This week we get into the subject of zombies, both in games and in the rooms of babies, of which Dan will have one in a bit. Besides that, we fill our weekly quota of Pokemon and Coheed talk while curving some bullets and getting our eyes shined. Sat, 18 Apr 2009 14:00:00 EST 54:58 http://riot.haloservers.com/146.mp3 Dan and Dave In which we’re no longer the only kids on the block This marks the week that Anthony’s show The Digital Ensemble also hit the Gaming Shenanigans tubes. Are we now obsolete? Luckily for us, we overlap on exactly zero topics! There’s some Flock (complete with sheep sex), some deals and some DLC. Just to spice thigns up, Dan takes issue with a few things the DE guys said. Nothing major, but since there’s nothing like a good internet feud, he said THEIR MOTHERS. Sat, 25 Apr 2009 14:00:00 EST 1:03:25 http://riot.haloservers.com/147.mp3 Dan and Dave In which Dan's had a few and Dave's dying of the swine flu This week we've gone late night again, since Dan has some homebrewing-related contractual obligations on Saturday morning. As it's late we allow ourselves to get a bit off topic at times, so there's Twitter, movie talk and an extended discussion of Escape From Butcher Bay (complete with spoilers, so caveat emptor). Beyond that, we've got some talk of Batman, Protype, Stalin vs Martians and whether 'gamer' is an appropriate moniker for ourselves. Dave's suggestion? Snizzlefoot. Sat, 2 May 2009 14:00:00 EST 1:10:56 http://riot.haloservers.com/148.mp3 Dan and Dave In which zombies will always be ‘in’ in our hearts Recorded late once again, this time because we have to help with Dave’s fiance’s shower the next day. Heavier on our opinions of what we’ve played than news of the week, we run the gamut from Plants vs Zombies to Killzone 2. We hear that zombies are played out? We wholeheartedly disagree: zombies will always be welcome in the GS offices, now and forever. There’s also the obligatory Pokemon and Coheed talk, of course, but more than that we also talk about the extreme violence that is X Men Origins: Wolverine. Sat, 9 May 2009 14:00:00 EST 1:09:26 http://riot.haloservers.com/149.mp3 Dan and Dave In which [SPOILER REDACTED] This was the week of deals, so it’s the majority of what we’re talking about. Then there’s what we’ve been playing, which for Dan means finally Bioshock! Just a bit, though, as Killzone’s still sapping his time. Dave, showing that he’s a true addict, is still on Plants vs Zombies as well as a smattering of other games in his quest to beat the cheating DJSTARR05 to 20,000 Gamerscore. If you haven’t seen Star Trek we’d advise you hit ’stop’ once the movie comes up, as we stay away from spoilers for a minute or two before ruining everything. To summarize: we both had serious problems with the movie, though for different reasons. Sat, 16 May 2009 14:00:00 EST 40:59 http://riot.haloservers.com/150.mp3 Dan and Dave In which we've been at this for three years We're celebrating the big one-five-oh by, well, doing what we always do! Special events would take too much effort for us, especially when all our energy is going towards our upcoming road trip to see Coheed next Friday (so no video show, but the audio will be recorded unhindered). Chock full of game reviews and other news this week, marvel at Dave's lack of points from Lost Planet and Dan's ability to FINALLY play Bioshock! And, again, thank you to everyone for the first three years. Sat, 23 May 2009 14:00:00 EST 1:09:34 http://riot.haloservers.com/151.mp3 Dan and Dave In which it was a special brocasion This week it’s a very late, very hoarse show as your intrepid hosts have just gotten back from two days of carousing around the east coast. Tired of Coheed and Cambria talk? We apologize in advance, as we just saw them in concert and they’ll be coming — finally — to Rock Band. Beyond that, we get to some news that we didn’t have time to post on the site (due to the aforementioned road trippage) and discuss the games we managed to play when we weren’t manning our own jackhammers. Sat, 30 May 2009 14:00:00 EST 38:42 http://riot.haloservers.com/152.mp3 Dan and Dave In which Dave hates B bands After a two week hiatus we’re back, 100% married and ready to talk about all that stuff that happened while we were gone. E3? That happened, indeed. Dan is full of disdain, hating on both Bungie and Project Natal. Dave, meanwhile, projects his hate at the Beastie Boys and the Beatles, ensuring that he’s not really interested in any of the rhythm games coming out this fall. Then there’s a discussion of Prototype, UFC and Wallace and Gromit, among others. Sat, 20 Jun 2009 14:00:00 EST 1:22:26 http://riot.haloservers.com/153.mp3 Dan and Dave In which we forget to talk about muffin tops A tad on the short side, but apparently the business side of gaming went crazy this week. We also wax rhapsodically on Rock Band (yes, still), among other games. Dan’s still on about Prototype, and Dave’s pushing through Mirror’s Edge to spite the world. We also forget to talk about a very important topic at the end of the show: muffin tops. We understand that they’re good and all, but you can’t sell just the top. How can you have a top without a bottom, we ask? You can sooner have shadow without light, good without evil. Sat, 27 Jun 2009 14:00:00 EST 21:20 http://riot.haloservers.com/154.mp3 Dan and Dave In which we do infinity times two damage No video show this week, but we compensate with some annoying sound effects! Well, maybe they’re annoying. Maybe they’re awesome? If you have comments either way, or want to suggest sounds for us to use, let us know. There’s also a short discussion of Coheed and vinyl records, in addition to some actual — wait for it — video game news! Dan finally finished Prototype, Dave finished Mirror’s Edge, and then we’ll be jumping into Band of Bugs, which incidentally will be having avatar support soon. Also, there will be no show next week as Dan will be in Chicago. Sorry! Sat, 4 Jul 2009 14:00:00 EST 45:30 http://riot.haloservers.com/155.mp3 Dan and Dave In which Vin Diesel makes any game awesome Sorry for the delay in show posting; server issues, that pesky real life thing, etc. You understand. Monkey Island, Terminator and Wheelman were what we focused on this week. Wheelman isn’t all that great, but it DOES have explosions and wheels popping and jumping cars and Riddick so that’s cool. The biggest news, of course, was the Rock Band Network, which is going to revolutionize Rock Band and make everything awesome. Or not. But probably.

We pretty much go back to our roots here, with a fairly Halo and Rock Band centric show. Master Chief saying ‘kawaii!’? Dan’s much more loving towards Bungie than he was a few weeks ago, and also is all about Monkey Island. Dave’s been too busy working 22 hours a day to play many games, but he does have some hands-on experience to relate when we talk about The Force Unleashed.

We’re back now! To celebrate, we kept it short and sweet, though hopefully still entertaining. We focus on our old standby genres, adventure games and the music genre, and while Dave is contet to bemoan the lack of Coheed, Dan expands his demands to the soon-to-be-defunct Harvey Danger. Oh, and Bookworm is totally awesome.

For that cheapass Dan, pretty much anything. Then we hear Fiddy is in Modern Warfare 2? I suspect we will be disappointed by the lack of bigass ramps. Then there are people complaining about Left 4 Dead (no, REALLY?) and Dan tries to wax philosophical but no one cares. The video show is missing, so if you've noticed then let us know and we'll try to find it. Sat, 8 Aug 2009 14:00:00 EST 33:36 http://riot.haloservers.com/159.mp3 Dan and Dave In which the new Game of Life is great, but the new Monopoly can suck it. New Clue, you’re on thin ice. More iPhone news, including board games. There are new versions of Clue and Life and so on. Guitar Hero is making a run at Rock Band, and I’d almost buy it if I could import World Tour songs. DS hardware revisions? Is the DSi worth it? We’ve both got originals, and Dan has a DS Lite somewhere in his house. Oh yeah, there’s a lot of Poketalk. But if you didn’t expect that by now, you shouldn’t really be listening anyway. Sat, 15 Aug 2009 14:00:00 EST 38:22 http://riot.haloservers.com/160.mp3 Dan and Dave In which crashing a virtual motorcycle is really, really fun This week Dave's bought the Summer of Arcade, so we talk about that for a while. Then there's that PS3 Slim thing, and honestly Dan doesn't want to sound like a fanboy but he can't really recommend people buy it. We also discuss Call of Duty 4 bullshots, Monkey Island and -- of course -- Rock Band. Sat, 22 Aug 2009 14:00:00 EST 34:24 http://riot.haloservers.com/161.mp3 Dan and Dave In which we’re all kinds of into Professor Layton We’re going to see Coheed and Cambria tonight, but miraculously don’t talk about them or Rock Band too much. Instead it’s more Trials HD and Professor Layton, which are both pretty awesome. Is it worth it to buy a lower price 360 Elite or PS3 Slim? You’ll have to listen to find out! …or we can just say that ‘they’re good prices but still cost $300.’ Sat, 29 Aug 2009 14:00:00 EST 28:09
