Batman listens to our Podcast. Do you?

So we got behind on Podcasts for a bit there. Here’s our solution: Between now and Christmas we’ll be releasing several Podcasts each about one game released this Q4. Kicking off with Arkham City right here. Heber and Stephen discuss Arkham City and eventually Batman in general for well over an hour. This Podcast goes into heavy spoilers after about 15 minutes but well warn you. Also don’t forget to check out Heber’s weird Bad Photoshop blog thing, Stephen thinks the Harry Potter one is good. Follow Stephen and Heber on Twitter as well.

Wow. What a Mansion.

Hello there and welcome to the first episode of “Players,” a new Series of Podcasts / Radio Plays produced by Chronic Reload. In each episode trained and/or experienced Actors are given classic Video Game scripts and asked to perform them as sincerely as possible. We hope the results to be hilarious, nostalgic and sometimes both.

This episode features the opening Mansion Sceen from Capcom’s “Resident Evil” (or “Biohazard” if you’re Japanese) originally released on the Playstaion in 1996. The game famously featured some pretty horrendous dialogue which is on display here as Barry, Jill and Wesker enter The Mansion and encounter their first Zombie. This week Eddie Murphy joins us as Barry, Siobhan Bolton as Jill and Stephen Colfer as Wesker.

If you’ve some ability to wield your voice in front of a Microphone and would like to take part in a future episode or  if there’s any scenes you would like to hear send us an e-mail. As with all our Podcasts we expect this series to evolved over time based on your feedback so tell us what you think in the comments below and by e-mail stephen@chronicreload.com

This weeks episode is available to listen to and download below. You can subscribe to Players in iTunes via “The Chronic Reload Podcast” where new episodes will automatically appear along with new episodes of our Gaming Podcast.

Worth every Penny.

Stephen, Chris and Heber talk news and games. How much crap will you take to play Arkham City? Where has Assasin’s Creed gone to and where was it going to?  Did Hitman Absolution show us the wrong 15 minutes? And is Portal 2: Peer Review more difficult than Portal 2 or are we just getting more stupid? All this and more! Heber brought chocolate but Stephen bought a hat..

Now we Know

Hey everyone. So this week’s podcast is a little broken, Basically Chris’ audio goes out of sync and doubles up every now and then for preventable reasons in hindsight. The best version I could mix is here but it’s far from perfect. Should you choose to listen you’ll hear myself, Chris and Heber rant about Table Quizes, Internet Nobodies and Satellites. You can follow Stephen, Heber and  Chris on Twitter.

Nope!

Stephen, Chris and Heber finally get back on track. The news is discussed followed by a major debate on what we love about the Battlefield 3 Beta and what we hope is fixed and changed between now and released. Also Heber finally makes it out of the Police Station in Deus Ex, there is much rejoicing. Don’t forget you can follow Stephen, Heber and finally Chris on Twitter.

Tesla awaits the Package.

One last rant before the new series begins next week. Stephen, Heber and Chris are together at last and go on a very non-focused Rant. This week it’s Video Game news, Touching the Lloyd, don’t remember Heber’s Dad’s birthday,  Air Lingus and Aspect Rations, and the Speed of Light. You can follow Stephen on twitter under @stephenpip, Heber under @heberhanly and can’t follow Chris, stop asking.

Episode 14!

Series 3 is finally here. Stephen and Chris make a glorious return while Heber is out going to a thing. Games discussed this week include Skyrim, Dead Island, Minecraft 1.8, Red Orchestra 2, Crysis 2 and others. There’s also a bit where we nearly talk about the news but then Chris can’t because he has to go and I talk about deleting this bit of the recording. I just remembered I never cut but it’s 2:51am and I do not feel like going back in there. Goodnight friends… Goodnight.

Also! This week we’ve used a brand new method to record the Podcast. If you have any comments or advise on the audio quality please feel free to post a comment below.
