Low Score Episode 16 "Reproduction is at the Heart of Farm Life"

Holy Crap! Bobby and J, with special guest Jimmy, recorded a three hour monster of a podcast. 

What can three guys talk about for three hours? Everything. Everything on the planet. We discuss what we've all been playing recently like The Lost and Damned and Street Fighter IV, racing games, Points, pizza, Star Trek, the Simpsons, the potential for game designers to create worlds for other people to make games in, and damn if we can remember what else.

There might have been alcohol involved.

Might.

But we actually think it's a real winner! Split it up into two sessions if you need to. We'll understand. Remember, if you want to see more of these type episodes keep not sending in those questions. If you think we sound like morons, then send some Qs our way!

Low Score Episode 15 "You Picked Wrong!"

It was a bit of a slow news week, so Bobby and J decided they'd prefer to just focus in on their favorite topic: themselves.

After a bit of standard "what have you been playing?" Bobby and J chronicle a history of video games in their lives. You'll get to hear stories of growing up playing games, the magic of getting a new system and early memories of launch-window games, why Bobby never had a GameBoy, gaming with friends, Bobby and J in college, PC gaming, and many a random aside.

If you love the hosts as much as they love themselves, you'll particularly enjoy this edition of the Low Score podcast.

Low Score Episode 14 "Diamond Technology"

We're at it again! This time we get into a real serious political discussion before talking about the lighter topics like airplane crashes! 

The White House is getting a Wii! What do you want to play with the Obama family? 

Also in this episode you'll find discussions of Rock Band Beatles, the Final Fantasy Legend II DS remake, a sequel to Amplitude, and sequel innovation.

Plus we wax intellectual about Nintendo's new patent for an in-game walkthrough system and come to the conclusion that chimpanzees are way funnier than orangutans.

All this in one podcast? "You're crazy!" you might say. No, we're Low Score, bitches.

Low Score Episode 13 "How Do We Do This?"

Bobby and J are back! It's been far too long, hasn't it?

First on the agenda is a recap of what the hell we've been up to. Having both played a bunch of games in the last two months, there's plenty to discuss.

2008 was a pretty eventful year in the world of games. Crazy Wii sales, Xbox 360's dashboard update, the release of a bunch of big-series titles as well as some pleasant surprises. Bobby and J also name their favorite games of the year!

But what would a look back be without a look forward? Join us as we discuss some predictions for 2009. (Sneak Peek: video games will be popular this year)

MAGFest 7 Podcast

Holy crap it has been a long time! Things got crazy at the end of the year as Thanksgiving hit, Bobby's semester came to a close and J's job demanded his valuable time, and holiday vacation got in the way of podcasting. It's inexcusable, but it's what happened. This is not our true end of the year podcast, however. It's a very special MAGFest 7 edition!

Bobby and Kevin talk Music and Games Festival, the events they participated in, and what they were looking forward to for the rest of the awesome weekend. There's even some discussion of what they've been playing over the holidays. You don't want to miss it.

Low Score Episode 12 "Metro Center"

Bobby was a big dummy and managed to record the podcast not using his USB mic but rather the little mic on the iPhone headphones! He some how managed to pull it out and salvage the damn thing, but if the sound is a little funky, you know how to blame.

This week we talked Mirror's Edge demo, Penny Arcade Adventures 2, and plenty of Fallout 3.

We also got a question this week about the role of story in games.

We're also speaking in really short sentences.

Next stop... Metro Center.

And the original music is back!

Low Score Episode 11 "Goodbye Money"

Wow. What a holiday release season. J and Bobby buckle down and go through the big releases, discussing the ones they're excited about and figuring out a strategy for when to buy which games. It's intense, maybe a little funny, and perhaps a little uninformed!

Afterward, your Low Score hosts tackle a topic from the Gamers forum from the University of Virginia: what does 'complexity' in games mean? A difficult question, for sure, but one worth pursuing.

So fire up your iPod, your Winamp, or your hi-fi system... it's time to achieve that Low Score!
