Qt3 Games Podcast: John E. Motion and Close Combat

Morgan Gee, also known as John E Motion, is from Victoria and lives in Prague. How unfair is that to those of us who live in or come from ugly places? Listen to this week’s podcast as he explains that you don’t have to be into wargames or real time strategy games to get into Close Combat.

This week’s random question is, uh, kind of weird, so I’m raising the stakes. If you win, you get my extra copy of Bioshock 2 for the Xbox 360. Which you probably already have (you do have Bioshock 2, don’t you?), but every one of us knows someone who should have Bioshock 2 and doesn’t.

Next week: mmalloy and Oblivion

Qt3 Movie Podcast: Fish Tank

Ah, finally a good movie. Wait, scratch that. A great movie. We all loved Fish Tank and hope we can find at least a few more movies in 2010 even half this good. What a revelation. If you haven’t seen it, well, you’re missing out. See if you can do something about that.

Until then, you can fast forward to the 54-minute mark for this week’s 3×3. We discuss the stupidest computers, robot brains, or cybernetic organisms.

Qt3 Games Podcast: Rorschach and Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts

Rorschach is here to tell us his real name is Paul Tobia and that he is not really a superhero from Watchmen. He is also here to tell us that not all Banjo Kazooie games are for babies. He also reveals the desperate lengths to which he has gone in Nuts & Bolts. Suffice to say Klungo is involved.

As if that wasn’t enough to get you to listen, how about the chance to win a free game on the platform of your choice? And congratulations Lenkenobi for winning a free crappy game.

Qt3 Games Podcast: Cubit and Fallout 3

R. Corey Elzey — you know him as Cubit — talks about Fallout 3 and why we love our apocalypses. We can’t help but also get in some Mass Effect 2 and Star Trek Online talk (by the way, I hope this isn’t a spoiler, but Cubit totally caved and picked up Star Trek Online).

Also, listen to win a free game on the platform of your choice. And congratulations to Morkilus for winning a crappy game yet to be determined.

What’s the difference between sound mixing and sound editing? Why was Avatar robbed of its nomination for best animated film? How much longer before we have to say “Academy Award winner” every time we say “Sandra Bullock”?

You know Steve Fulton as Jupiter Jones. Did you know he’s like an elf in that he works on toys in a professional capacity? Did you know that I once blew him off like the diva that I am? Did you know he’s a hard-core Rollercoaster Tycoon fan? Did you know he’s not going to let his daughters play Pikmin? You’ll know all this and more after listening to this week’s podcast.

Qt3 Games Podcast: triggercut and Fatal Frame

I’m not even going to type triggercut’s real name here. You just have to listen to hear it. It’s that awesome. From the awesomeness of a name that rhymes with Bornhostile, we talk a bit of music, a bit about the restaurant business, and then discuss the single best horror game of all time. And I’m not just saying that as a set-up for a Kanye West gag. I’m saying that because it’s totally true.

Also, listen to win a free bad surprise game on the platform of your choice. And congratulations to Drastic for for scoring a copy of Pure, a racing game everyone’s already forgotten.

Qt3 Games Podcast: Gabe Lewis and Baldur’s Gate

Gabe Lewis talks about why he’s bailing on Los Angeles. Then he talks Baldur’s Gate, even though he’s never finished it. What a poser! He even accuses me of online sexual deviancy. But there’s a seriously special treat at the one hour and twelve minute mark. If you listen to just three minutes of a podcast this year, make it the last three minutes of this one.

Also, listen to win a free game — it’ll be a surprise and it’ll probably suck! — on the platform of your choice. And congratulations to Deadbuffalo for getting stuck with, err, I mean for scoring a copy of Prototype.

Qt3 Movie Podcast: Youth in Revolt

Tom Chick, Christien Murawski, and Kelly Wand aren’t really crazy about Youth in Revolt. One of us is even angry. It speaks volumes that we move on to this week’s 3×3 at the 37-minute mark. Meet us there if you haven’t seen Youth in Revolt and we’ll talk about our favorite gas station scenes. We come up with some doozies!

Qt3 Games Podcast: Andrew Mayer and Farmville

Hey, it’s Andrew Mayer talking about how social games will take over the world! And he’s not even saying that like it’s a bad thing! That’s why I recorded the first ten minutes with monkeys typing on typewriters in the background. At least that’s what the weird interference sounds like to me. It stops almost exactly at the ten minute mark. Sorry about that. I have fired my engineer.

Listen to win Prototype for the PC. Yep, Prototype. For the PC. It’s a really fun game. And congratulations to JPR for scoring a copy of Forza 3 for the Xbox 360.
