modeps — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 13:15:59 +0000

Hey everybody! Tonight we’ve got a quick show with two crippled hosts as Modeps, Pwnophobia, and Kragg get you up to date on what they’ve been playing. First Kragg gives a quick review of Killzone 3, and then Pwnophobia talks a bit about Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Is it better than Super Street Fighter 4? Not sure, but we learn not to pick up the Xbox 360 while it’s spinning inside. Then Modeps and Kragg talk a little more about their new found addiction to Rift. “Head Start” began last week and the servers are fully inundated with millions of MMO junkies. Finally, Modeps lets us know that one game he won’t be playing much of is De Blob 2, which is apparently a repetitive nightmare of colors and jazz fusion. Or maybe it’s just a bad acid trip… All this, your emails, and weekly releases on this weeks Shotgun!

e106: Causing a RIFT with Scott Hartsman, Trion Worlds

modeps — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 11:14:44 +0000

Hey MMO fans! Tonight’s special guest is RIFT executive producer Scott Hartsman. Scott sits down with us for an extended interview about the new MMORPG that launches this Thursday. We cover everything from what the game is about, and details about it’s development cycle, to why it’s important to prioritize fun above everything else. So will this game be the one to pull you away from WoW? Or maybe return to an MMO at all? From PVE to PVP and raiding…if you had any lingering questions about RIFT they’re sure to be answered on this weeks Shotgun!

e105.5: The Day for Love

modeps — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 12:00:04 +0000

modeps — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 12:00:12 +0000

Hey everybody! This week we’re back in classic trifecta format with Modeps, Kragg and Gzsfrk joining us in the third slot. We answer your voicemails and then get down to the business of talking about games. Kragg and Gszfrk weigh in about Bionic Commando: Re-Armed 2, and tell you if it’s worth your time. Spoiler alert: it’s sort of not. Then Kragg and Modeps talk way too much about the hotly anticipated MMO Rift, giving you details about experiences with the closed beta. Then a little more on the RPG front with some talk about Two Worlds 2 co-op campaign with Kragg, and we round out the show with Gzsfrk’s hands-on impressions of the new You Don’t Know Jack. All this, your weekly releases, and EA Online Pass sucks, on this weeks Shotgun!

e104: Jellyvision and YOU DON’T KNOW JACK

modeps — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 12:00:43 +0000

In this special mid-week edition of the Shotgun podcast, modeps and special guest red gzsfrk host the team behind the You Don’t Know Jack franchise, Jellyvision Games. In addition to being joined by several longtime developers and writers from the series, Mike Bildner, Steve Heinrich, Allard Laban, Arnie Niekamp, and Evan Jacover, we were also very excited to hear from legendary booth jockey and host of the latest Jack game, “Cookie” Masterson (Tom Gottlieb). So if you want a free taste of what’ll cost you good money when the new game launches next Tuesday (2/8), have a listen!

It’s time for when Jellyvision and Evil Avatar Collide… SHOTGUN PODCAST.

modeps — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 10:43:24 +0000

Hey everyone! It’s the eve of February, and we’re answering your emails and voicemails before January is done! Modeps and Kragg catch up with you, the listeners, to discuss important topics like the Mortal Kombat $DLC, the mature player community in Little Big Planet 2, and Pokey-Mans. Then Kragg gives some quick impressions about Two Worlds 2, and Modeps goes into depth about how awesome Dead Space 2 is. Then we answer the timeless question, “What is better? Move, or Kinect?” and find out the answer is “Move”. Finally, we talk about the demos of Bulletstorm and Crysis 2 to varying degrees of excitement and pre-ordering. All this and no Facebook updates on this weeks Shotgun!

e102: Rico Suave

modeps — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 11:10:47 +0000

This week we’re back in full form with all three hosts! Modeps, Pwnophobia and Kragg are settling back into the year with some proper game news and releases. Pwn gives us an update on WoW: Cataclysm and we launch into a long diatribe about MMO’s, then all the talk about the grind gives way to Kragg’s obsessive trophy hunting and a conversation about Little Big Planet 2 and it’s predecessor. We chat about new features, and some of the cool levels our own community here on EvAv are creating. Then there is talk about Dead Space in all its forms, good, bad, and motion controller compatible. Finally Kragg explains why the best part of CODBLOPS is Smash TV. All this, your listener emails, and a rant about Mortal Kombat, on this weeks Shotgun!

e101: A Duet With An Occasional Chorus

modeps — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 11:33:51 +0000

We’re down one host this week, as Pwnophobia was too busy pumping iron to cast pods. So Modeps and Kragg carry you through this weeks happenings as a pair.
We’re still busy with our backlogs in the deepest part of winter, but there are some new games coming on the horizon. Modeps discusses the interestingly titled VVVVVV, along with budget racer Nail’d, and Kragg opens up a bit about beta testing new MMO Rift:Planes of Telara, as well as why Lost Planet 2 is now a solid bargain bin find. All this and Bulletstorm is going to ruin video games forever as an artform on this weeks Shotgun!

e100: The Horse Whisperers

modeps — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 13:12:28 +0000

We’ve finally made it to episode 100, and it’s the first show of 2011! To celebrate we’ve invited some very special super friends to guest host. Ben Kuchera of Ars Technica and Jim Sterling of Destructoid sit in with Jim, Adam and Ben to talk about LittleBigPlanet 2, what games we’re excited about for the new year, and how all game journalists are biased and paid off with dump trucks full of cash. We also explain to Modeps as a group why Final Fantasy XIII is terrible, and like any video game podcast worth it’s salt, we end with a graphic conversation about murder and bestiality. All this and your weekly releases on the c*ntennial edition of Shotgun!

e99: A Very Bear-y Christmas

modeps — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 13:07:00 +0000

It’s that special time of year again. A time when we remember the true spirit of the season, celebrate with loved ones, and have Josh Bear from Twisted Pixel on our podcast to make a bunch of sexist jokes. That’s right. Josh is back and sitting in to help us close out the calendar with our final episode of 2010. Tonight’s topics include “The indie game development scene and how to offend the people in it”, “Why Quake Arena doesn’t work without a mouse and keyboard”, “Hydrophobia Pure. What?”, and “Potpourri”. We also have a chat about our “just missed” list for games of the year, until Jim is far too drunk to make sense anymore.

Oh, and in case you didn’t know, Twisted Pixel is making this game called Ms. Splosion Man, and Josh talks about that. Mostly about why she cries so much.

All this and more on the annual finale of Shotgun! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

e098: Awards Shows Suck

modeps — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 13:18:38 +0000

The 2010 VGA’s taught us how to not keep it real, and this week Pwn, Modeps and Kragg explain why that’s not legit. On the upside we saw some trailers, and those get discussed as well. What IS legit is the Evil Avatar community, and our Game and Shame of The Year nominations. We run down the nominee list this week for both categories, as the 12 Days of Evil come to a close. Modeps gives us a quick hands on of Chair Entertainment’s new iOS game Infinity Blade, Pwn talks about DK Country Returns, and Kragg explains why Resident Evil 5 may have one of the worst endings of all time.

All this, and basically no weekly releases, on this weeks Shotgun!

e097: The Sickcast

modeps — Wed, 08 Dec 2010 03:09:37 +0000

Hey everybody! We’re back from a week hiatus and two out of your three hosts have fallen ill, so you’ll have to excuse us while we try not to cough into our mics. Not even this great northeastern plague can keep us from telling you about the great giveaways coming up on the site during the 12 Days of Evil going on right now! Then we have a nice chat about puzzle games as Kragg gives impressions of Ilomilo, and Pwnophobia takes a little bit more about Super Scribblenauts. Then in the main event Modeps and Pwn talk about how much they absolutely love Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood. Finally, Pwn reviews the less than stellar Thrustmaster Ferrari controller for PS3 and Jim explains why Mickey is far from Epic. All this, WoW Cataclysm, and a shocking surprise announcement you won’t want to miss, on this weeks Shotgun!

e096: A Pox on Thee!

modeps — Tue, 23 Nov 2010 11:14:58 +0000

This week we go on the record to take care of all this fussin’ and feudin’ about reviewin’. Modeps and Pwn reiterate how we attempt to score our reviews after the fallout from New Vegas, and then as usual, Kragg has no opinion and says nothing about anything.

Then Modeps gives us some insight as to why Pac-Man CE DX is totally sweet, and Need For Speed:Hot Pursuit is only kind of sweet. Pwnophobia gives hands-on impressions of Assassin’s Creed:Brotherhood before leaving his director’s chair so we can bring you the Weekly Releases. All this and HOLY CRAP GRAN TURISMO 5 COMES OUT THIS WEEK! on this week’s Shotgun!

e095: Zombie Nation

modeps — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 14:22:46 +0000

Is CODBLOPS over? Of course it isn’t! This week Pwnophobia and Modeps discuss the finer points of Call of Duty: Black Ops. They let you know about both the multiplayer and campaign, what’s good and what’s still irritating.
Then Modeps lets us know that Powergig: Rise of The Six String has some serious issues, mostly that it sucks. Back in the “good game” category Kragg talks about Dead Nation, how much fun it is to blast zombies in their hideous ghoul faces, and all kinds of co-op trouble when Modeps sets the difficulty too high. Then Adam fills us in on why it’s tough to play Super Scribblenauts when you don’t know what a giraffe is. All this and a veritable truckload of weekly releases, on this weeks Shotgun!

e094: CODBLOPS!

modeps — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 13:07:48 +0000

Seriously, worst acronym EVER! On this week’s show we have an in depth discussion about Kinect and whether it’s worth your time and money, and right now the outlook is hazy. Modeps and Kragg also detail their future misadventures in Fallout: New Vegas, and Modeps learns a valuable lesson about always looting the dead. Then we learn Jim’s not a mechanical engineer as he describes why we, ironically, aren’t able to review the Evil D-Pad by Evil Controllers here on Evil Avatar. All this, plus pinball, your weekly releases in a horrible new format, and a drunken angry voicemail on this weeks Shotgun!

e093: RIP Stormbringer

modeps — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 12:44:42 +0000

Hey Everybody!

Tonight we try to solve the mystery of the disappearing co-host as Pwn goes on a lot about Costume Quest, and then says the Force Unleashed 2 sucks, and then disappears. Possibly killed by George Lucas? Who knows? So that leaves Modeps and Kragg to carry on the show, and they do. Modeps let’s us know more about Rock Band 3 and how it’s probably the last music game you’ll ever need, Kragg gives a brief rundown of his Killzone 3 beta experience, and then we discuss the finer points of Undead Nightmare, including its unprecedented television ad. All this, new xbox dashboard woes, and a metric ton of shovelware on this week’s Shotgun!

e092: Our Pixels are Twisted, An Interview with Josh Bear

modeps — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 11:33:02 +0000

Modeps and Kragg sit down for a fireside chat with Josh Bear, Chief Creative Officer and co-founder of Twisted Pixel. Josh answers the community’s questions about Comic Jumper, Twisted Pixel’s development process, and a little bit about what the future holds for them. We also get all “after school special” and talk about the importance of being yourself, never settling for mediocrity, and making sexist jokes.

All this and some hardcore Forest Whitaker references, on a very special episode…of Shotgun.

e091: Top of the Blogosphere!

modeps — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 16:00:32 +0000

Hey everybody, this week it’s a two-host throw down with Modeps and Kragg. Pwnophobia was too busy training by running through the snow and chopping wood to be here tonight. This week we talk about bugs, and not the kind in a motel bathroom either. We’re talkin’ about the kind that spoil the sixty dollar game you just bought. Kragg gives impressions on Fallout: New Vegas, and why you should keep a flyswatter handy when you play it. Then Modeps talks about DJ Hero 2 and a mysterious issue that seemed to crop up along with the 1′s and 2′s. This begs the burning question “what is worse? A game releasing on time with bugs to be patched later, or delaying to squash the little buggers beforehand?” Modeps also gives us a crash course in God of War: Ghosts of Sparta, and we announce the winners of the Twitter giveaway for Amnesia: Dark Descent! All that and another huge round of weekly releases on this episode of Shotgun!

e090: It’s Crafty

modeps — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 02:16:57 +0000

Ahoy Shells! (That’s what we’re calling you now?!) Apparently…because on tonight’s show Adam announces the winners of our L4D2 “The Sacrifice” giveaway. He also spins us a yarn about his mystical journey with Der Auslander to Season’s Beatings, and how there IS such a thing as too much Street Fighter. Speaking of yarn, Jim previews Kirby’s Epic Yarn. Spoiler alert: Kirby is adorable. We also announce our Halloween giveaway with Frictional Games! They want to hook you up with a free copy of Amnesia: Dark Descent, and we let you know how you can win. Kragg also gives his final words, and lots of them, on Castlevania Lords of Shadow. 3 out of 5 is a good score people! All that and an absolute TON of weekly releases on this weeks Shotgun!”

e089: NERRRRDDDSSS!

modeps — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 02:03:58 +0000

We’re Kragg-less tonight, but that doesn’t stop Modeps from rapping a little bit about New York Comic Con from this past weekend. Hands on with both Undead Nightmare, Epic Mickey with more to come next week. Jeff the Great sits in and shares his feelings on Castlevania while Modeps blasts the crap out of the newly released NBA Jam. Oh, we’ve got another giveaway and some user feedback too. Enjoy!

e088: Man Pie

modeps — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 11:38:56 +0000

What up playas?! This week for your listening enjoyment we answer listener email, and then settle into a nice conversation about Twisted Pixel’s crazy new downloadable title Comic Jumper. And because TP and Shotgun love you so much, we’ve decided to give you a chance to WIN Comic Jumper for free! Just listen to the show for details. Jim also gives us his impression of Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock, and we give you an angry yet definitive rant about what constitutes “rock”. Finally we have a rousing conversation about this weeks Evil Epilogue question about whether Valve implementing micro transactions into Team Fortress 2 is a bad precedent for PC gaming. All this, and your weekly releases on this weeks Shotgun!

Oh yeah, and Pwnophobia beat the hell out of someone this weekend!

TOO MUCH GAMES! Tonight we have special guest host Tom (OhTheCommotion) sit in while we catch up on our lost week! We field your listener mail and then get into an extended conversation about Halo Reach. Apparently people are still playing that, and you get the definitive Kragg review directly into your ear holes. Then Modeps gives his impressions on Minecraft, the sensation that’s sweeping the nation, and by “nation” I mean “a group of game enthusiasts posting on Twitter”. On the downloadable game tip, Kragg Modeps and Pwn give their initial impressions on the new physics-heavy action/adventure Hydrophobia, and Modeps talks about Dead Rising 2:Case Zero. Finally we wrap things up with Pwn’s post-game follow up on Spiderman Shattered Dimensions. All this, your weekly releases, and a quick history lesson about Thomas Malthus on this weeks SHOTGUN!

This week we have more news than a Chinese phonebook has chins! We drop detailed news about the new “Clan EvAv” official gaming clan for EvilAvatar.com. Kragg gives some extended info including reasons behind it, where to sign up, and the newly created Steam group. Pwn has news on the new Street Fighter Beginner’s Guide, as well as an upcoming tournament that we’ll be hosting. And of course, what tournament would be worth it’s salt without big money and BIG PRIZES? (I LOVE IT!) so we’ll be giving away one of the new EvAv tee shirts that just went on sale up on the site!

This week Halo:Reach drops, and we give some first impressions on why people already hate it before it’s even been released. Sony is also releasing their movement-based controller apparatus this week, and we’ll detail a few of the launch titles. So get ready for us to do a lot of talking over one another on a very announcement filled Shotgun!

PS: modeps likes mozzarella sticks.

e085: Happy Labor Day Everyone!

modeps — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 17:58:00 +0000

This week we have a quick show for the holiday. It’s a day of relaxation, so it’s time to chill out and enjoy the unofficial end of summer while we talk about some games. We cover the colossal news that Duke Nukem Forever will actually see the light of day, and weigh in on whether we think it’ll be awesome or a total flop.

Jim and Adam give reviews on Gladiator Begins and Shank, respectively, and Kragg joins everyone back in 2005 by beating God of War.

All this and your weekly releases on a special holiday Shotgun!

e084: Holla For A Dolla

modeps — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 01:57:10 +0000

This weeks show is cash money! YOUR cash money! Microsoft dropped a bomb on us today with a price hike for Xbox Live Gold, and we’re gonna let you know what we think about it. Chances are it’s not good. Since we’re talkin’ bout money probs like Lou Dobbs, we also cover the issue of the used games market expanding nationwide to Best Buy and Target. Then our courageous gumshoe reporter Jeff The Great sends in an email detailing the sneaky fine print in the new Block Buster games rental service. We recap of our Super Street Fighter 4 Community Game Night, and Adam gives us some preview info on whether Shank is the new hotness.

So grab your Zune (or other listening device of choice) and get ready for some podcast on this weeks Shotgun!

Also, Duck Tales…

e083: Whip Out My Stick

modeps — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 12:26:52 +0000

The end of August is approaching, and while most of the U.S. is getting at least some reprieve from the oppressive summer heat, there’s no shortage of heated discussion in this week’s podcast. Jim, Ben, and Adam are joined by guest and recently recruited red Matt ‘gzsfrk’ Williams to discuss the sequel to a game with a controversial pedigree. Jim also gives his impressions on the latest Madden after a 3 year hiatus from videogame football, and Adam and Ben regale us with their latest tales of Street Fighter conquest. Finally, Matt & Jim go head-to-head over the appeal of traditional adventure games in the modern videogames landscape.

Bonus content includes Adam’s advice on how to gracefully avoid an unfavorable match-up at a Street Fighter tournament by red-ringing your opponent’s console–this week on Shotgun.

e082: You R So Dumb

modeps — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 11:37:10 +0000

Tonight we take it back to basics with our core cast of three. We have a discussion about the feasibility of Call of Duty going “pay to play”, and what it could mean. We give a quick recap of Puzzle Quest 2, and realize it’s lost a bit of luster with time. Jim gives us some initial impressions of Starcraft 2, while Ben gives a quick review of Castlevania HD. Meanwhile, Adam announces the beginning of his professional Street Fighter career. That’s gonna turn out great!

All this and apparently some football game comes out soon, on this weeks Shotgun!

So listen in to learn about one of our most anticipated follow ups of the coming year on tonight’s special episode of SHOTGUN.

e080: PWNTophobia

modeps — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 16:00:34 +0000

This week we have Moe Fwacky from Penny Arcade and the PAX Cross Country Super Trip! We have some controversial reader mail, followed by a review from Jim about the new Alan Wake DLC “The Signal”. Ben reviews the best in free games with Alien Swarm, which you should go download if you haven’t already. Pwnophobia gives us a quick review of his technical problems and Hydro Thunder Hurricane. Plus we talk turkey about the newly announced Street Fighter vs. Tekken games which will surely be a hot topic amongst people who care about topics like that. Also, Jim thinks Limbo isn’t that great. SUCK IT INTERNET!

e079: We Have a New Adam

modeps — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 02:14:45 +0000

This week we’re joined by Adam from POWET.TV, and he replaces our regular Adam who was too busy fighting in some sort of death arena to record a podcast. Jim, Adam and Ben get down to brass tacks and review the newest (and not so newest) releases like Limbo, Lego Harry Potter, and Transformers: War for Cybertron. Ben continues to catch up to 2009 with the news flash that InFamous is indeed a good game.

We also only get sidetracked by one insane, nerdy conversation about Transformers. All this and an absolutely bizarre set of games in weekly releases in the dead of summer on this weeks SHOTGUN!”

e078: Round Three, FIGHT!

modeps — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 11:47:26 +0000

We have a big show this week! We are joined by Todd Fuller from Short Attention Guys and he sits in to chat on our official return from the E3 doldrums. We congratulate Pwnophobia on his first MMA win, which certifies our podcast is now able to beat up and steal lunch money from all others. Speaking of roundhouse kicks, we talk about EVO 2010 from Las Vegas, along with some impressions on Puzzle Quest 2, Singularity, Joe Danger, and Blacklight: Tango Down. Modeps, Pwn and Todd also have a quick round table discussion detailing more about Crackdown 2.

All this and a two man psycho freak out about Two Worlds 2 on this week’s SHOTGUN.

PS: Naughty Bear sucks
