The Limitcast is back!  It’s time to roll up those Kwanzaa mats, blow out the menorah, and take down the tree.  The holidays are over (finally!) and it’s time to get back to business.  We missed last week, and we apologize, but now we are rallying behind a slew of new topics.

This week’s podcast is going to focus on the critical approach to video game reviews. Read more… »

Once upon a time, 11 months ago, 2009 blasted into our life with complete disregard for everything we left unfinished.  All it cared about was screwing over all of our New Year’s resolutions, and pumping out more games that most of us would never finish.  Now that 2010 is about to do the same, the Limitcast crew thought it was time to sit back and reflect on the passing year, our favorite additions to gaming’s library in the last decade, this year’s game of the year, and what’s in store for the beginning of the new decade.

Merry Christmas everyone!  The Limitcast crew is finally recovering from our charity antics, Nick’s crotch juice is still stained into my scrubs (and memory), and it’s time to get the podcast back on track.  Since it’s Christmas, we are inviting all of the readers and listeners out there to give us your wish list for the holidays…and beyond!

Let me stop you real quick though, before you start jotting down every damn game you missed this year.  We don’t want that.  Give us your wish list for the industry or secret desires you’ve had for future games or your favorite characters.

Get a crash cart!  PC gaming is flatlining!  The former titan is reeling and consoles are set to pull the plug.  But what got us here?  Did developers and publishers abandon an already sinking ship, or has their absence brought about the end of an era?  Maybe gamers have migrated?  Whatever the reason, we plan to get to the bottom of it.

Welcome back ladies and gentleman!  It’s just about time for the league of extraordinary gamers to convene once again.  What’s on the docket this week?  For starters, Josh finished his man training, and I have to admit, the results are amazing.  Although, I’m not quite sure where he got all that sun from.

Anyway, we have a terrific show planned for you guys so click that read more button for Josh’s new look and our topic of the week. Read more… »

Howdy listeners, I know we missed the preshow discussion last week, but Josh was only able to tear himself away from his new How to be a Man handbook long enough to record last week’s show.  Hey, who could blame him?

Anyway, Josh is still doing an arbitrary number of sit ups and push ups, so I have taken it upon myself to post this week’s preshow. Read more… »

The first series of holiday releases have descended upon us, and we used almost all of last week’s podcast talking about them.  Well, play time is over and it’s time to throw around another heavy topic.

The release of Demon’s Souls has highlighted a glaring lack of challenge in today’s core gaming scene.  And we want to know why that is.  We’ve decided to suplex the monster topic of difficulty in gaming in it’s entirety. Read more… »

It’s funny how fast a week can fly by in the wake of a few big releases. It seems each member of the Limitcast has found themselves overwhelmed with Brutal Legend,Uncharted 2, or both – which may or may not have influenced the decision to cool the subject matter down a bit, and lean towards a topic that’s a bit more playful than usual.

This week we’re going to use the power of imagination to combine some of our favorite intellectual properties into fantasy crossover titles, and give a brief description of the type of game we foresee them being.

Technology tends to be fickle and unreliable. Sometimes you hit “Copy”, only to have your computer interpret it as “Delete”. Other times, like last week for example, you hit “Record” and nothing happens at all. Such was the fate of the original Limitcast Episode 19. Some may suggest that these follies are the fault of a phenomenon known as “User Error” – but to them I say, “Shut the hell up.”

Technical difficulties aside, the crew will be re-recording Episode 19 on Sunday October 11th, and our focus will be on “The Causes and Effects of Over-hype.”

Comment below with your thoughts and we’ll discuss them during the show.
