Low Score Episode 25 "J's Big Announcement"

Big Episode 25! We being with a little listener feedback about episode 24, clarifying a few things and making us explain ourselves.

Rather than just talk Fallout 3, J and Bobby have played a bunch of different games including Rock Band 2, FFVII, Battlefield 1943, My World My Way, and Red Faction: Guerilla. It's then onto the news! Bioshock 2 was delayed, Harmonix unveiled the Rock Band Network for user-submitted songs, and the future of indie games on XBLA.

Our discussion topic this week is of our favorite boss battles. Bobby and J kept their choices a surprise from each other, so prepare for 11 excellent bosses!

Oh, and hey! By the way. We really want you to spread the word about Low Score, so please tell your friends!

Low Score Episode 24 "It's Been a Year"

One year ago today the first episode of the Low Score podcast was uploaded to the Internet for everyone to enjoy. 24 episodes later, we're still doin' the damn thing. And this week, we bring you one of our finest podcasts ever.

We play a little catch-up as Bobby lists off some recent purchases, J continues to sing the praises of Fallout 3 in the form of Point Lookout, Bobby plays some Battlefield Heroes, and we both get a little nerdy about the new Magic: The Gathering game for Xbox Live Arcade.

We also do a bit of news and commentary for the first time in a while: PS3 price drops?, World of Warcraft Themed Peggle, LucasArts games hit Steam, and a new old Final Fantasy game.

The bulk of the podcast comes from a suggestion that friend-of-the-show Kevin (sometimes co-host-of-the-show as well) gave for the After Hours podcast. It's all about our personal "Low Scores." We'll leave the categories of discussion a surprise, but will tell you that it deals with us being poor game players on numerous levels.

Please to enjoy!

Low Score After Hours "Vaguely Alliterative"

Only moments after we finished recording Big Episode 23 of the Low Score Podcast, we recorded what we've termed "After Hours," a podcast by the Low Score hosts that is about anything but videogames. Last time we did something like this we got some useful feedback that helped us decide to split out evening recording session into two episodes.

Bobby, J, Jimmy, Kevin, Carrie, and Allison all took up spots in front of the microphones to talk beer, snacks, and music. And to argue a bunch. And to talk off microphone. And to throw zingers around and do schtick for you, our awesome listening audience. And, perhaps most imporantly, put dogs in our shirts.

We apologize that the audio quality isn't that great, but it was a lot of fun to record and we hope you find humor in our drunken shenanigans!

Low Score Episode 23 "The Gang's All Here"

Sweet mother of pearl, it's a guest-a-rific edition of the Low Score podcast. You know: the one about videogames! Joining Bobby and J this week are previous guests-of-the-show (and good friends of the show) Jimmy and Kevin. This ensemble was made possible by a drive to Richmond, VA, where we all met up at J's house for a real live in-person podcast. Also joining us on the show are significant-others-of-the-show Carrie and Allison!

Unlike last time a number of us got together, we made sure that this episode was all about video games. We saved the outside conversation for second episode which should go up within the next week or so. But this one is built to stand alone and not annoy you!

Surprise surprise we talk Fallout 3, as Kevin just purchased it and the rest of us have been keeping up with DLC. We've also got Peggle, Magic the Gathering for PC, FFVII, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember.

We discuss sequels and market saturation, difficulty in games, the new Nintendo skip-ahead feature, and achievements.

We were pumped to record it, so you best be excited to listen to it! Get yer download on!

Low Score Episode 22 "That Thing in LA"

Ah, the E3 Expo. The Electronic Entertainment Expo Expo. Wait, wha? Hm. Irregardless, Bobby and J are here to provide commentary on the big three press conferences, games the developers showed off, and what is just really a fine example of second-hand journalism.

We talk Project Natal, vitality sensors, PSP Crunchwrap Supremes (because it's good to Go), and most importantly lots and lots of games. Interested in the new God of Castlevania? We got it! New Super Mario Bros high-functioning multiplayer? That's us! Class-based shooters with light RPG elements? Ding ding! Yeah, we got it all covered.

Low Score Episode 21 "News Worth of Month"

There's no better time for E3 predictions than after the big press conferences are over. No, we didn't watch the pressers and then record... Bobby ran into some technical issues and the podcast from last week didn't make it up until just now. But now you can enjoy it with hindsight!

E3 aside, J played hell of Fallout 3 and Bobby played a little Mirror's Edge.

There's also a month's worth of news covered in this little cast that's sure to have you thinking, "oh yeah, I remember that."

Enjoy or perish.

Low Score Episode 20 "Is Pretty Fun"

We've decided to constrain ourselves to a listenable length this week, so we've got 90 minutes of fun for you.

Having received a handful of emails and comments about last week's Best Game Ever selection, we've got a bunch of talk following up on that including how we feel about our choices, what about Zelda, more on RPGs, and the realization that we never talked about KOTOR.

Bobby explains why you need to play Battlefield: Bad Company and also reveals a startling fact! J too has been playing a few surprising games and has some opinions on Henry Hatsworth, too.

Oh! And how could we forget BioShock 2? More info has been revealed about that game since we last talked, so we run through a bit of it. What more could you ask for?
