Crossover

This month we’re chuffed to welcome Scott & Joe of the mighty BitSocket as guests. We met on a glorious Sunday afternoon in Glasgow to feature in each other’s shows, we had a great time and we hope you enjoy the results. Be sure to check out BitSocket vs Gamewank on their site, in fact check out everything they do because they’re brilliant and we love them.

They can be found on their site and their YouTube channel, as well as Twitter and Facebook.

Whit’s yir game?

Jim, Ric, Scott and Joe (always last, except at soggy biscuit) discuss zombified spin-off Yakuza: Dead Souls, sensation PSN exclusive Journey & Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning.

M’arse Effect

Krystal gives us her verdict on the final chapter of the Mass Effect saga, and pays a touching tribute to one of gaming’s most inspiring protagonists.

Aye, Rim

Lindsay takes a break from touring the drinking holes of Skyrim to give us an account of her first adventures in the neckbeard paradise of Tamriel. She didn’t even put down her chib.

As mentioned in the podcast, Linds’ article “Confessions of a Girl Gamer” is available in Pixel Nation issue 1 now! Get it here

Dead by Dawn

Game journo fronted metal band Dead by Dawn play us out this month with super-charged anger fest “False Spectacle” – debut EP The Sound of Your Demise is on iTunes here for less than the cost of a pint, give them a shot! Check them out on facebook too.

Feedback Effect

In part two we discuss gaming news including recent DLC-on-disc controversies and Mass Effect 3′s ending fiasco. In response to listener feedback, we offer BioWare some suggestions as to where they could take the Mass Effect saga next and Joe effectively agrees to fellate Scott.

Fattygoo

The monster recording session this comes from ended in the early hours and as such, we’re a bit croaky and even less coherent than usual. Some of our best work, I feel.

Games and that

Part two focuses on individual games more than hardware & services. We talked about some more of the future titles we sampled including:

• Batman: Arkham City
• Journey
• The Witcher 2 (360 version)
• Sonic Generations
• Kid Icarus
• Super Mario Land 3D
• Mario Kart 7

MMOh La La

Eccles Cakes

Lurpack Shakur and Ecto Broon’s mental Livi-Hop tirade about World of Warcraft is called “Wee Black Nigel” and can’t be found anywhere on the internet except on this podcast. Lurpack’s alter ego Danny’s eclectic and kinda wonderful solo albums can be downloaded here, though.

We came. We saw. We came again.

Eurogamer 2011 was a triumph as far as we’re concerned – especially compared to previous years. This show felt like an important industry event, a far cry from the first one we attended in 2009 which felt like an HSBC conference with joypads.

Glands On

In this first part of a monster expo double episode, we give our hands on impressions of:

• Id’s semi open-world shooter RAGE
• Upcoming Wii adventure The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
• And of course, Bethesda’s hotly anticipated RPG to end all RPGs, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

John Live

We interview Onlive’s VP of games and media, John Spinale, about the problems faced by the gaming industry and how cloud gaming is set to solve them.

Playstation Vita

We got our manky palms on Sony’s PSP successor, stroked its gorgeous touch screen and thumbed its filthy twin sticks until we were asked to leave.

The Plimptons

Playing us out this week, Glasgow DIY pop 6-piece The Plimptons with brand new track “Be Expected”. Check them out here!

Part two out soon!

Give me a few days to recover. This edit was a bastard.

Grace Under Fire

In this episode we discuss Deus Ex: Human Revolution (360/PS3/PC) and Cave Story (PC/WiiWare/3DS), the 3DS’ rumoured new 2nd analogue nub add-on and respond to a load of listener questions.

Goodness Gracious

Remember to enter our Photoshop Fitbaw competition – you can completely ignore the rules if you want. We just want some daft listener art to stick on a video. Winner gets a gimped tenner and a cock in biro!

Will & Grace

Playing us out this week – Durham based GeordieIrishScots prog outfit Zadok with “Unit of Judo part three”. Richie’s wee brother, Francis of “Halo fitbaw” fame, is the drummer. What is it with drummers?

Eurograce

Next episode will come right after the Eurogamer Expo at the end of September, in which we hope to give our hands-on impressions of Skyrim, Mass Effect 3, Skyward Sword and the Playstation Vita.

Thanks again for listening, and remember to update your podcatchers!

Right folks, the new Gamewank feed lives here:

“http://www.jamietrinca.co.uk/gamewank_eps/GW_feed.xml”

Please update your podcatchers!

iTunes instuctions here:

Go to Advanced>>Subscribe to Podcast

Paste “http://www.jamietrinca.co.uk/gamewank_eps/GW_feed.xml” (without the quotes, obviously) into the URL box and click OK.

A new show will appear in your podcast library called “Gamewank_New” – this is the proper feed from now on.

Unfortunately the iTunes store is a bit more complicated to update which requires manually editing our old feed, something which Jellycast keeps hidden from its users. I’m in contact with them hoping it can get sorted but for the time being we’re stuck with the iTunes store pointing to an inaccessible host.

If you guys know anyone who subscribes to Gamewank please let them know about the change. We will keep the old feed active for a while to give people a chance to update. We’ve built up quite a community and we’re pretty desperate not to shatter it during this process!

Thanks,

Jim n’ Prick
