Boomzies #35 – Viewer Request Special
Michael Bay is getting a lot of flack over his comments concerning the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film. In his words, the Turtles will be an alien race, who are tough, edgy, funny, and completely lovable. Will this be the end of the Turtles on the silver screen, or a different interpretation?
As payback for our chat being down last week, we hand the show over to the viewers and let you make the requests. From day one DLC, Resident Evil Raccoon City, Ninja Gaiden 3, gays in video games, and the lack of scary games, we talk about it all!
As mentioned in the show, check out: Editor’s Notes – Mass Effect 3 Ending Drama
Boomzies #30 – A New Age of Heroes?
Could the online pass debate have a solution? Cliffy B. seems to thinks so! Is his idea of selling “lite” versions of games the solution or just another dead end? Then we switch gears and ask the question, where are all the new comic book superheros? Can any new comic book superhero truly stand the test of time compared to classics like Batman, Superman, and others? We answer all of these questions and more in Issues #30 of Boomzies!
Boomzies #28 – Ludology vs. Narratology
We start with the rumors flying around about the successor to the Xbox 360. Will it use Blu Rays, will it have some sort of measures in place restricting gamers from playing used games on the console, and will it actually use a stupid name like Xbox 720? Then in our main topic we address ludology vs. narratology. Does story or interactivity take precedence or does it truly depend on the game? Watch as Brian and Landon duke it out in this extra long episode!
Boomzies #27 – Video Games the New TV?
The dark one George Lucas has officially announced his retirement from ruining our childhood in film. We take a look back at his career and the future of his popular franchises. Then in our main topic we ask are video games the new TV? With video game consoles turning into all in one entertainment devices, will it dethrone TV or merge into one ball-o-media goodness? All this and more in Issue #27 of Boomzies!
Is Batman really a Super Hero?
The other day someone told me that Batman was not a super hero based on the fact that he is only a man, no special powers, just a regular guy. At first I gave my response, a bit angrily I might add, and went on my way. Then I thought to myself, if this person feels this way then surely others do too. Now I wouldn’t be a good Batman fan if I didn’t squash this thought and spread the good word of the Bat. So here it is, my full thoughts on not just why Batman is a super hero but why he is quite possibly the best super hero ever.
Get ready for the long haul on this one folks.
Boomzies #21 – WoW vs SW:ToR
We have a live Q&A session with Richard Ross of Operation Rainfall to get their side of the story and how this organization of dedicated Nintendo fans is seeking the international localization of three Wii games. Then in our main topic we talk about World of Warcraft vs. Star Wars: The Old Republic. With Star Wars The Old Republic beginning beta testing, there’s a lot of buzz surrounding the release of this game. Will WoW retain its’ throne or will Star Wars usurp the the reigning MMORPG king?
Also we talk about bums, how to keep you bum fresh, and how to properly care for your bum……BUM!
Boomzies #11 – Has genre distinction lost its relevance?
After years of resisting, George Lucas is finally releasing the Star Wars films onto Blu Ray. But there is a disturbance in the force as even more changes are being made! Then in our main topic we talk about genre distinction in video games. With so many more genres and games mixing elements from varied genres, have the lines between genres been blurred too much?
