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.
Also, listen to win a free game on the platform of your choice. And congratulations to ElGuapo for winning a crappy game yet to be determined. Also also, apologies for previous prizes not going out yet. I have them all bundled up and they will be mailed today. Cross my heart!

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.

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.

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.

Meet Jeff Pinard, or jpinard, or that guy with the frop bog. We eventually get around to talking about The Sims 3, but all that stuff is a lot less interesting than the cast of characters in Jeff’s life, which include the precocious matchmaker, the dispatcher with the sexy voice, the woman sheriff, the 65-year-old hardcore World of Warcraft player, the unkillable gaunt aunt straight out of the Dark Ages, and the enormous friendly female burrowed under the mud in his backyard.
Listen to win Forza 3 for the Xbox 360. And congratulations to Equis for scoring a copy of Solium Infernum. Equis! Coming soon to a PBEM game near you!

Meet Shawn, aka forgeforsaken. He wants to talk about — get this! — Chromehounds, a soon-to-be-extinct game in an extinct genre with gameplay conventions that drive away online gamers in droves. Plus it has a stupid name! Why would anyone want to talk about Chromehounds?

Meet Jason Lutes, whose comic books make him the most famous person on the forum until Book of Eli comes out. We start off talking about Solium Infernum but veer far and wide in a discussion about emergent narratives that’s not nearly as high falutin’ as it sounds. Sorry for the echoing, but we eventually stamp it out. I blame Mr. Lutes for using a Mac.
This week, listeners can win a Collector’s Edition of Demigod signed by Brad Wardell and Chris Taylor. Well, not so much signed by them as including a Post-It where I wrote their names. It does have a little pewter dude in the box or something. And congratulations to Kid Socrates for winning Assassin’s Creed 2 for the Xbox 360.
