1up.com - The Oddcast

Oh hell yeah. A Final Fantasy rhythm game in the works, a 3DS RPG coming for the ladies, and the erotic puzzle game Catherine gets a demo on PSN and XBLA this week. 1UP Oddcast loves you, Japan. Never change.

The Oddcast team has finished transitioning into their new office. Listen in and hear us brag about it! This week, regulars Sam and Tina are joined by Janine and Walter to discuss what it’s like working in the new IGN office. Then we brag about how we played the Journey beta and answer more listener questions.

Happy Belated E3 to you! Sam, Chris, Alice and Tina discuss their takes on how the show was this year. Sam can't make up his mind about Nintendo, Chris thinks he has a fever dream while playing Duke Nukem, and Alice answers your questions about England.

To celebrate our 60th episode, we decided to throw our podcast planning sheet away and do it live. Enjoy.

Whoa, forget boys! Who needs them! Tina, Alice, Janine, and Sam take over the Oddcast this week -- discussing salad and feelings. No, not really. We discuss a new World of Warcraft feature, wish the best to 360 gamers, whine about Modern Warfare 3, and encourage Alice to be the best American in England.

OH WHAT A SURPRISE. This week Scott Sharkey joins us to chat about life in the woods and why Sony sucks for leaving their service so vulnerable to attacks. Plus, Soundboard Chris and the rest of the gang talk about Call of Duty online in China and more Alan Wake. And Ballsrog gets hyped about Mass Effect 3.

This week, we're calling our show, "Little Alice: The Farewell Podcast." We discuss the Portal 2 app, how we like Portal 2, oh and, what it's like to hide from Portal 2 spoilers. We dive into the news stories Tina picked, which happens to make it seem like PlayStation sucks -- PSP Go still exists in North America, Child of Eden delayed, PSN is still down. And we're sending Alice to the UK to cover the latest Mario & Sonic game.

This week we finally see the return of Chris Plante! He tells us what he?s been up to, talk about Kinect, Portal 2, and Sam tells us all he knows about the new Nintendo console that?ll be shown at E3.

Sam, Tina, and Alice are joined this week by special guest James Silva, who, for those not in the "know," is behind the XBLA game Dishwasher Samurai. We talk about legalizing switch blades for one-armed humans, shoehorning multiplayer into videogames, leaky codblop maps, and dressing like Solid Snake. Also, our call-in question mailbox seems to have contracted some sort of audio venereal infection we just can't get rid of.

After our strange disappearance from podcast-dom, we return with a double feature! This week (during the first half), Sam shares how old he is by remembering his first Street Fighter experience, Alice names her cat Sprinkles, and we suggest game music tracks. In the second half, Scooter, Jeremy, Tina and Sam find time to make fun of each other. Scooter is shy in front of the 3DS girls, Jeremy loves the Bioshock Infinite panel, and a 1UP imposter roamed PAX east.

Holy crap guys! The Game Developer's Conference happened! And we were there! We lost Alice in the crowd so we recorded without her.

Thud... Thud... Thud... The water in your cup shakes. What can it be? You look over at your monitor; a podcast appears! We're joined this week by one Matt Clark (you may recall his winning blog entry a few years back that scored him a ticket to E3!) as we discuss Telltale Games' recent bevy of game announcements, including the dinotastic Jurassic Park. Some other stuff is discussed after that, but the important part is that Sam still doesn't know how to enter his credit card information into PSN. We must all take pity upon his purchase-disabled existence.

Can somebody give their PlayStation 3 a hug? We talk about Sony's bad string of luck, how Japan thinks Catherine is better than MVC3, we ask why Tina likes to irritate her new boss, and Sam mentions something about why he loves Justin Bieber. Oh, and we finish off with Ballsrog's latest rap.

Oddcast is 50 years -- er, episodes old! In our old age, we've grown senile, and can't remember what was said, revealed, or otherwise shouted across the airwaves this week. For all we know, we've murdered Chris, and he'll never be heard from again, except as a ghost, like in that one movie. Well, we're at least pretty sure this episode also includes Dog Football.

Ready for the new year? We're putting 2010 behind us the only way we know how: Odd Awards! Listen to us talk about such categories as, "He gave it to his Mama," or "PMPNP" (Predict Michael Patcher's Next Prediction).

Happy holidays from the 1UP Oddcast crew! Special remix by @tole_cover.

On this week's Oddcast, we can't wait for Bad Company 2 Vietnam, share moments about our NYC trip, Tony Hawk is a dying breed, Alice has a new instrument, Sam likes Kratos and Chris explains why his girlfriend has no idea about our show. Also, we take call-in questions and emails.

The Oddcast Thanksgiving Special! Don't listen to this one before you eat.

It's the Oddcast's 1-year anniversary! But no one gives a crap. This week the gang goes off on Black Ops' multiplayer, continues to gripe about the bugs in Fallout New Vegas, and bitches even more about San Francisco banning happiness (aka Happy Meals). Plus we talk about how Tetris cures all and plan our trip to Spain to visit Super Mario Street!

This week we discuss everything Kinect, Gran Turismo, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, Battlefield Play4Free and introduce two new segments we think you'll enjoy. Oh, and we finish it off with listener questions as always!
