5/27/12 – Whether your flavor of the day is a tasting platter of bacon strips, or Max Payne 3, GoR has got you covered. Enjoy your day off this week by relaxing and listening while we take control of the old jabber-machines and conduct the closest thing to a review we’ve ever come and likely will for some time. Especially since Mike has relapsed into his old MMO ways and will likely wind up in a clinic soon. Enjoy that discussion too. It’s all about feeling better about your life. Enjoy.

5/19/12 – One day early this week, as Brian will be busy tomorrow, participating in the spread of popular food culture and anti-social cell phone discourse. Before he parties like an Iron Chef-star though, we manage to fill some time taking a giant crap on a website whose journalistic responsibility manages to stand out, even in the clusterfuck that is currently referred to as “gaming journalism”. Congratulations to the lowlives.

5/13/12 – Have a special Mother’s Day edition of GOR. On us. Listen to us talk about things moms love, like…. well, Mother’s Day. And what to do & not-do on it. Also our broken PS3s, and how they sometimes become someone else’s fortune. There is even an educational section for moms, all about how video games are afraid to kick out asses like they used to. It’s off-beat for us, but screw it. Today is about mommy. And MCA.

4/29/12 – We’re back after our 1-week hiatus, despite unpopular demand. A lot has happened in the last two weeks. Eric ate silly foam food landed a new job, Mike learned the true meaning of “dim sum” at a Queens casino, and Brian discovered that GTA IV is not universally praised as the crowning achievement of the series. We’re two weeks wiser (or at least older) than you knew us, and back to kick up more dust and swear unnecessarily & passionately about topics of little consequence. We missed you too.

4/15/12 – PAX was good to us last week. It gave Brian plenty of things to obsess over, it gave Eric plenty obsessive Brian-traits to point out, and it gave Mike all the cosplay he could wave a camera at. It was a lovely trip in a very hostile city, but it’s back to reality for us this week though, save for plans to cosplay next year. We’re back to staring the possibility of a vastly changed next-gen home-console industry in the face, and coming up with our own bomb shelters to weather the storm. In Mike’s case it’s shelter in the form of a capable PC which he has just begun to fashion with help from his friends. Stuck on the first puzzle? We’ll help you out: Click the link.

Episode 34 – PAX East 2012 Special

4/8/12 – We’ve got something a little different for you this week, in several respects. We left the comfort of our own crappy jobs and gaming dens to hit up PAX East, and we actually didn’t disappear in a puff of smoke. We brought our friends with us too, which means that our show is extra rowdy, loud, and drunk this week. And long. You’ve been warned. If you still aren’t scared away by that, come listen to us offer our personal show highlights and letdowns. All 6 of us (this week). Big thanks to Penny Arcade and all the presenters there, as well as the community for making it an absolute heaven for gamers. We hope you enjoy it. Somehow.

4/1/12 - We’re doing a show from (our hotel rooms at) PAX next week! Instead of just letting you know so you won’t be caught off guard, we decided to talk about it ourselves today. While reflecting on last year’s PAX. And on how nobody ever wins the lottery. Or achieves their dreams. Or knows the troubles we’ve seen.

3/25/12 – Let’s all congratulate Eric on being newly unemployed. And congratulate Brian on overcoming the first step in overcoming his obsessive gaming habits; he has admitted that he might have a problem. If that’s news to you, then here is a heads-up: The first Yakuza game is kind of cool. In a way. If you don’t want to find out about it the hard way, Brian will tell you all about it while he shakes his cane and tracks the evolution of the claw-arm game throughout the series. It’s riveting stuff that you won’t hear anywhere else in a 10-year radius. You’re welcome.

3/18/12 – Crack your knuckles until they don’t crack anymore. Then keep trying to crack them until you can’t use your fingers. Or just bruise them on your laptop until neither work anymore. Or on the red face of a green-shirted Irishman. Whichever way you choose, once you’ve sufficiently mangled your gaming hands, come back to us for round 2. We’ll all have a nice discussion about video game pricing, it’ll be great. We’ll make giant assumptions about game development and developers’ paychecks. We’ll make memories together.

3/11/12 – Do games like Journey get more praise than they deserve from artsy guys with Brian glasses and people who just act like they get it? Does Mass Effect 3 get more hate than it deserves from people who are pissed off about DLC models? Is it weird to make your avatar look exactly like you in a single player game? Come listen to us as we tackle these important and relevant issues with the skill and grace of teenage backyard wrestlers, resolving absolutely nothing in the end.
