The 10 PM Podcast: Welcome back, DJ Datz

jayslacks — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 02:30:36 +0000

I’m tired. And I already wrote this post and the stupid internet ate it! So here is the breakdown: Nate Kowal from Best. Gamepad. Ever. DJ Datz from 360sync. Jarvis Slacks from Awesomeville. We talk. We also disagree and, I swear, I think I heard someone let one half way through the show. Well, that might have been me. What time is it? That time? Bed time? Enjoy the show.

The 10 PM Podcast: Out Door Shampoo Towel Edition

The game: Halo 3, ODST. Is it good? What is the campaign like? What is FireFight like? Is it worth $60? And when did ExtremeTaco get a girlfriend? And why, when geeks get girlfriends, is it surprising? Nate Kowal (Of Best.Gamepad.Ever) and Tom Kennedy (Of Awesometown) also do their best to make the podcast 15 minutes longer than it was supposed to be by making predictions about the gaming industry of 2010. Will Gears of War 3 come out? Will Halo: Reach be squad based? What about Grand Theft Auto 5? Or 4? Or what ever it is. And, finally: should you listen to this podcast? Yes. Why. You know why. You’ve always known why. Listen. Learn. And? Yep. Enjoy.

The 10 PM Podcast: You sort of do look like a bum, yeah Edition

And the summer is over. While most people traveled and visited family and, I don’t know, went outside, Nate and I played video games and worked at jobs. But these weren’t simple jobs. Proof of point, Nate almost was beaten to pulps by a man that Nate misunderstood as a common NYC bum. Thus it will be forever remembered as the “Slurpee Cup Incident”. We also talk about Gay rights, Orson Scott Card, Shadow Complex, the new Batman game, Mass Effect, Gears of War 2 and, uh, other stuff. The amount of awesome in this podcast might only be equal to a cup of coffee. But, oh man, is it a really good cup of coffee. Listen. Learn. Enjoy.

The 10 PM Podcast: Geek Card Edition

So, exactly why does Tom K have a crush on a mail carrier? I mean, they carry mail all day. How cute can they be? And what is up with Tyler having a birthday on one day but telling people it is actually on another day? And Nate Kowal doesn’t want to see Transformers 2? And he’s never seen Transformers Uno? What in the world is going on with this podcast? Well, we do have a pretty good conversation about what makes a game have long legs. Long legs like a mail carrier. That’s what I’m talking about. Please join Tyler Childs, Tom Kennedy and Nate Kowal of Best Gamepad Ever fame as we waste your time for you. Listen. Learn. Enjoy.

The 10 PM Podcast: E3 Edition

jayslacks — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 02:27:20 +0000

Welcome to another edition of the 10 PM Podcast. No, I still have no idea why I’m calling it “10 PM”. I sort of think that I came up with it during a dream, as I was laying in bed thinking about ways to figure out and lock down my Internet fame. This week, I have Nate Kowal of Best Gamepad Ever all up in this piece, talking about all the Microsoft info from E3. We not only talk about it, we injest it. We consume it. We just about pretty much drink the stuff done like it is water from the mighty heavens. Want to know what we think about Splinter Cell Conviction? Halo 3 ODST and Halo Reach? Mass Effect 2? How are we going to pay for all these games? Seriously, put down the chicken. I’m asking you a damn question. How are we going to pay for all these games? I mean, there are a billion games coming out! What are we suppose to do? I know what you need to do. Do you know? Come here. Seriously. Come in close. You need to listen, learn, and enjoy.

The 10 PM Podcast: An Afternoon with DJ Datz

jayslacks — Thu, 28 May 2009 02:46:24 +0000

The Jarvis Slacks Podcast has been re-branded the 10 PM Podcast, because a podcast with my name in it sounds pretentious and it bothered me. This week, we have DJ Datz of 360Sync fame to kick around. We talk, nay, we contemplate at length, about video games and the mega-explosion that is E3. We also talk about games we’ve been playing lately, games we’ve never played before, and the political intelligence of Rockstar and the new GTA4 DLC “The Ballad of Gay Tony”. And we do this all for you, because we sort of either love you or are afraid of you. We can’t really figure out which one yet. Listen. Learn something. Enjoy.

The 10 PM Podcast: Nate Records from Space Edition

jayslacks — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 03:31:04 +0000

This week, we hear a slight, very slight hum from Nate’s audio. The reason? the BestGamePadEver site is in space! Its a space station! Pretty amazing, huh? He eats that space-ice cream, he runs experiments, he even is weightless, and plays Xbox while he floats. Pretty awesome. This week, we talk about about Nate’s timetrip to 2007 and his Call of Duty 4 impressions. We talk about Co-op gaming techniques (Left, K! The tenticle is Left!), and we have a deep and almost meaningless discussion about the maturing of Twitter. You know what Twitter is right? Well, I think it jumped the shark. Nate doesn’t agree, but he’s a much better man than I am. Listen. Learn. And, yep, you got it. Enjoy.

The 10 PM Podcast: Commuting edition

jayslacks — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 17:42:58 +0000

Here we go again. In this edition of the Jarvis Slacks Podcast, we are joined by Nate Kowal, keeper of the Best.Gamepad.Ever site. During our recording, Nate was under a zombie attack, and had to converse with us via a walkie-talkie. Hence, the amazing amount of static that you might, nay will, hear during the podcast. But don’t let that stop you. We talk about Halo Wars, Resident Evil 5, GDC updates, the new Modern Warfare 2 trailer and the problems with commuting. Please, join us in our never-ending pursuit for something to do.
