The last meal. In this episode Zac brings in as many guests as he could reasonably handle to deliver conversations on what we would do if we had one last request. Your last movie, your last game, your last song. Hear those answers from Will Talley, Crazy, Adam Garnder, Jim Chadman, Al Shipley, Sean Corse, Captain Genius, Phil Bond, and Zac Shipley.

Powetcast 147: Feet Don't Fail Me Now

powettv@gmail.com (Powet.TV) — Thu, 27 Dec 2012 05:30:00 +0000

We're long overdue, but that is what you get with a holiday break. This episode was recorded a few weeks ago but I assure you the title and image header would've made no more or less sense then.

We'll talk Safety Not Guaranteed, Mega Man X Street Fighter, Spider-Man 700 and more. Its a surprisingly fun show to listen to. Panel is Captain Genius, Adam, Will and myself. Of course we laugh a lot.

http://powet.tv/powetblog/?p=29308

The Powetcast theme song, "Button Masher" is now available for free download!

This week we take a ride for a Jeep Creep in Halo 4, go racing with Sonic and the Sega All Stars, and relive the glory days of ECW.

In news we discuss the return of the elders to X-Men, another Wonder Woman reboot, Pacific Rim, and Young Justice returns... as a video game.

We also talk about Phil Bond being on Reddit.

powetcast 145 late and incomplete

powettv@gmail.com (Powet.TV) — Sun, 25 Nov 2012 15:22:46 +0000

Better late than never?

A few days before the American Thanksgiving holiday we recorded a podcast talking about the Wii U and shared some Thanksgiving and Black Friday stories.

Unfortunatly due to some kind of recording error (likely I forgot to hit a button to save) we lost the second half of the show. All that survives really is most of the Wii U stuff. Sorry!

We will try harder next time, I promise.

Powetcast 144: Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

powettv@gmail.com (Powet.TV) — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 16:17:48 +0000

Captain Genius and Zac are sick and manage to get out of bed long enough to record a podcast.

This week Adam tries to classify pedophiles, Zero hates Skyfall, Zac only plays Halo, and Genius hates Miss Piggy.

For a fun game, try to figure out who is taking a bathroom break at various points during the show. Posts the times in the comments and you can win a No-prize.

http://powet.tv/powetblog/?p=28843

Powetcast 142: Gonna Wreck It!

powettv@gmail.com (Powet.TV) — Thu, 01 Nov 2012 12:30:48 +0000

http://powet.tv/powetblog/?p=28782

Powetcast 141 Marvel vs DC

powettv@gmail.com (Powet.TV) — Thu, 25 Oct 2012 04:00:00 +0000

Our semi-annual roundtable debate series continues! After determing the fate of Star Wars and Star Trek, following the selection of a fictional President, our panel of experts will now debate Marvel VS DC. The results will shock you. Mostly because they're inconclusive. We'll have to do it again.

Sean, Extra Zero, Adam, and Captain Genius join me on this journey into centuries of continuity and endless fanboy crying. We'll talk comics, movies, cartoons, TV, and T-Shirts.

http://powet.tv/powetblog/?p=28659

Powetcast 140: Pop Goes The Weasel

powettv@gmail.com (Powet.TV) — Fri, 19 Oct 2012 02:58:00 +0000

This week Jim from NSFW returns to the cast to cover third base!

Zac travels to Dave & Busters and finds odd updates of Pac Man and Frogger, Captain Genius tries to find reason for the disappearance of DC Nation, and Jim tries to make us justify retro gaming in the face of Borderlands 2.

We'll also try to figure out why Clark Gregg is back and why the Venture Brothers aren't!

http://powet.tv/powetblog/?p=28622

Powetcast 139: Animal Cruelty

powettv@gmail.com (Powet.TV) — Thu, 11 Oct 2012 11:26:21 +0000

We earn our "explicit" tag once again this week. Comedy runs high as we discuss Jetpack Joyride, Looper, Resident Evil: Damnation, PETA's treatment of Pokemon, Battlefield Bad Company, and GI Joe Kreo.

We'll also offer up suggestions for Halloween movies with reccomended scary movies.

Cue the sad Sarah Mclachlan song.

Powetcast 138: Teenage Mutant Nightmare Fuel

powettv@gmail.com (Powet.TV) — Thu, 04 Oct 2012 15:25:45 +0000

The new fall TV season starts, and we talk about the return of Young Justice, the new direction for Green Lantern, the reboot of the Turtles, and try to define what it means to be not pretty.

Debate: Who is the ugliest man in hollywood: Marty Feldman or Brian Posehn?

http://powet.tv/powetblog/?p=28488

Powetcast 137 Fully Retractable.mp3

powettv@gmail.com (Powet.TV) — Sat, 29 Sep 2012 06:11:04 +0000

In this episode we bring back the fourth chair! Ernie emerges from exile to talk about ~~life~~, ~~love~~, Xbox Live. Captain Genius consults the GI Joe Field Manual. Adam is bewildered by animated nerds. Zac tried to keep it all together and not get distracted by the rest of his life happening behind him.

Homework assignment: In time for next week’s show, watch Star Wars Despecialized. No direct download links, but those willing to go where those with peg legs and eye patches only dare should come up successful.

http://powet.tv/powetblog/?p=28452

Powetcast 136: Killed By Gangnam

powettv@gmail.com (Powet.TV) — Thu, 20 Sep 2012 04:00:00 +0000

This week we talk Finding Nemo, Cabin In The Woods, and Seth MacFarlane on SNL. In the news we'll talk Robocop, the Wii U, why Canada's internet sucks, and finding ourselves on the brink of war with Iran. Also, Gangnam style, strippers, and The Green Ranger.

This is a much better episode than last week.

http://powet.tv/powetblog/?p=28222

Powetcast 135: Too Long; Didn't Reddit

powettv@gmail.com (Powet.TV) — Thu, 13 Sep 2012 05:12:12 +0000

Rehearsal and preparedness are important, which is exactly why the first chunk of this show has Zac and Adam riffing on reddit, Reality TV, and iPhone 5 before Captain Genius finally reigns them in.

We'll talk about how "Airplane!" is supposedly the funniest movie ever made, the absolute craziness that is Cloud Atlas, and the potential for sequels to Thor and Star Trek in 2013. Zac also reviews the geek potential for his coworkers.

http://powet.tv/powetblog/?p=28150

Powetcast 134: Jay Oh

powettv@gmail.com (Powet.TV) — Thu, 06 Sep 2012 15:41:47 +0000

OK, yes, Fall Of Cybertron talk did finally happen in this episode. But thats only a fraction of our insulting, offensive, and divisive conversation! We'll talk celebrity sex tapes, Chuck Norris and Hank Williams Jr talking trash, and pay tribute to Michael Clarke Duncan.

I didn't cut out the strip club story this week.

Finally, there is a Marvel Universe MMO and we talked about that for like 5 minutes.

http://powet.tv/powetblog/?p=28081

Powetcast 133: The Adam Expo

powettv@gmail.com (Powet.TV) — Thu, 30 Aug 2012 06:18:48 +0000

Adam went to Fan Expo in Toronto, and saw enough stuff that we spent most of the podcast grilling him on stuff he doesn't quite understand. http://powet.tv/powetblog/?p=27929

Powetcast 132: Legitimate Brain Riot

powettv@gmail.com (Powet.TV) — Fri, 24 Aug 2012 03:16:00 +0000

Serious business you guys. In this episode we mourne the loss of Tony Scott, discuss the series finale of The Office, and the end of Nintendo Power. Captain Genius will also review The Expendables 2, Adam announces Sailor Moon news, and Zac admits he doesn't support the troops.

http://powet.tv/powetblog/category/podcasts/powetcast/

Powetcast 131: Celebrities Impersonated

powettv@gmail.com (Powet.TV) — Thu, 16 Aug 2012 04:00:00 +0000

Zac, Adam, and Cap tear into a man who can't draw feet, another Kingdom Hearts game, a too enthusiastic guy who hunts for toys, and the celebrity cartoons of the 80s and 90s.

This is all about legacy. Rob Liefeld's legacy. Disney legacy. Hulk Hogan's legacy.

www.powet.tv

Powetcast 130: Chocolate Wings

powettv@gmail.com (Powet.TV) — Thu, 09 Aug 2012 04:00:00 +0000

On to this week's show, I am joined by Adam and Cap for a new hour of talk including but not limited to Total Recall, Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD, Transformers Regeneration One, and Scooby Doo Mystery Inc. Finally we'll talk about moving and valued possessions and what you keep or throw away as you pack up your life. http://powet.tv/powetblog/?p=27526

Powetcast 129: The Dark Knight Rises Discussion

powettv@gmail.com (Powet.TV) — Thu, 26 Jul 2012 10:00:00 +0000

Having learned some lessons about brevity and staying on topic from our Avengers podcast, the panel rises for the final act of the Batman trilogy.

Zac wrangles and all star cast including Jim from Not Safe for Watercoolers, Adam from The Reality Check, and Sean from Famicom Dojo. We’ll discuss Bane, Alfred, Lucius Fox, John Blake, Selina Kyle, and the overflowing cast of The Dark Knight Rises. There is a lot of plot and a lot of holes, but that doesn’t mean we don’t talk about what we liked and loved about the movie too!

If this is your first time listening to our show, this is an excellent jumping on point. Please let us know what you think in the comments section and subscribe to the show for more!

http://powet.tv/powetblog/?p=27390

Powetcast 128: Strip Club Buffet

powettv@gmail.com (Powet.TV) — Thu, 19 Jul 2012 04:00:00 +0000

In this episode, we might have seen The Dark Knight Rises. We definitely talk about ponies, Pacific Rim and Godzilla bringing monsters back, Thomas Jane's return as Frank Castle, and a discussion about mashed potatoes that has to be heard. What started as an SDCC discussion definitely didn't end up that way.

http://powet.tv/powetblog/?p=27243

Proper The Dark Knight Rises discussion NEXT WEEK on July 26.

Powetcast 127: Kate Upton Jr

powettv@gmail.com (Powet.TV) — Thu, 12 Jul 2012 03:18:46 +0000

http://powet.tv/powetblog/?p=27017

This week we discuss the return of Sailor Moon, what it means to read Marvel Now, the casting of a Wolverine sequel, a Beatle teaming up with Bungie, and Kate Upton.

Powetcast 126: Twins In A Rocket

powettv@gmail.com (Powet.TV) — Thu, 05 Jul 2012 14:15:46 +0000

In this episode, Adam defies the law of Gravity Falls, Genius heads to Pokemon Nationals, Zac becomes a Workaholic, and Sean sees the new Emma Stone movie.

http://powet.tv/powetblog/?p=26784

Oh and we also talk about sending twins and triplets into space for some reason I'm still not entirely clear about.

Powetcast 125: On A Shipcast

powettv@gmail.com (Powet.TV) — Thu, 28 Jun 2012 13:15:38 +0000

This week Adam and Zac are joined by Jim and Zero. We head to Mars with John Carter, click some cows on Facebook, talk to animals with Max Payne, and do a walk-and-talk on the Newsroom.

http://powet.tv/powetblog/?p=26555

Powetcast 124: Let It Go

powettv@gmail.com (Powet.TV) — Thu, 21 Jun 2012 14:06:55 +0000

Oh good! Another 68 minutes of podcasting!

In this week's excursion, Zac tackles the moral dilema of Superman VS The Elite, Adam gets a Gravity Rush off some Red Bull, and Captain Genius offers a counter-point to Lollipop Chainsaw.

After all that we chat about Michael Bay's TMNT movie, Hans Zimmer, Disney's next move with the Avengers cartoons, and how one troll fooled a dozen comic blogs (us included).

http://powet.tv/powetblog/?p=26451

Powetcast 123: Is Zangief A 'Bad' Guy?

powettv@gmail.com (Powet.TV) — Fri, 15 Jun 2012 03:06:13 +0000

http://powet.tv/powetblog/?p=26353

Cap, Zac, and Adam talk Lollipop Chainsaw, Young Justice, and Wreck it Ralph and then let the conversation turn to the debate about if Zangief or any of the original 8 Street Fighter II characters are "bad" guys.

Powetcast 122: Not At #E3

powettv@gmail.com (Powet.TV) — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 02:16:16 +0000

http://powet.tv/powetblog/?p=26188

It happens every year. We talk about going to E3, then we don't go. Luckily enough of E3 get streamed online and shown on TV that all we miss really are the long lines.

Zac, Adam, and Cap dissect as much of the show as possible. We'll talk about what impressed and depressed. And for some reason, we talk about Battleship too.

Powetcast 121: Hugs & Tugs (In The Morning)

powettv@gmail.com (Powet.TV) — Fri, 01 Jun 2012 01:32:44 +0000

http://powet.tv/powetblog/?p=26060

The listeners asked, and the panelists asks, so here it is: the revised Powetcast. Instead of a 2 hour show ever 2 weeks, we’re going to a 1 hour show every week. Zac, Adam, Sean, and Cap bring you climax with a running time of 59:59.

We’ll talk Chronicle, Awake, Dragon’s Dogma, and the Care Bears. I’ll also be reading tweets and facebook comments. I’ll do that every week if you send this to you.

There is also a mistake in this episode. Please note that mistake in the comments.

powetcast 120: Sequels To Cars Movies

powettv@gmail.com (Powet.TV) — Mon, 07 May 2012 14:34:33 +0000

http://powet.tv/powetblog/?p=25489

Spoilers ahoy! Do not listen beyond the 55 minute mark if you have not seen Avengers!

I'm joined again by Adam and Jim, with Sean and Captain Genius returning after several weeks away. We dig deep into the Avengers film series and hold a couple of inappropriate off topic discussions along the way. I also kept my promise to Jim to not make the podcast 2 hours long. 1:52:44 ain't bad!

Powetcast 118: Put Your Doors On - Live From Botcon 2012

powettv@gmail.com (Powet.TV) — Wed, 02 May 2012 12:35:12 +0000

http://powet.tv/powetblog/?p=25170

Adam and Zac are joined by Jim from Not Safe For Watercoolers, proving that the only qualification for being on the show is the ability to talk and laugh loudly.

Topics of discussion include Fez, bare knuckle boxing, Sour Patch Kids, The Avengers, The Simpsons' home town of Springfield, and the forthcoming video game The Witcher 2. Or at least we tried to talk about these things.

Powetcast 116: The Adam and Zac Show

powettv@gmail.com (Powet.TV) — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 18:50:24 +0000

The cast shrinks to half the normal size as Zac and Adam just shoot the shit about the relativity of success when comparing 21 Jump Street, John Carter, Community, and Clerks The Animated Series. Zac also digs into the AMC series Comic Book Men and Adam is shocked to learn that Michael Bay thinks the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are aliens. http://powet.tv/powetblog/?p=24600

*The episode does not feature adam levine or zac efron.

Powetcast 115: Rise Of The Planet Of The Steam

powettv@gmail.com (Powet.TV) — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 03:01:42 +0000

If you'll be my bodyguard, I'll be your long lost pal.

This week the trio of Zac, Adam, and Jordan ponder life on Earth after the Apes or Vandal Savage take over. We'll also talk about Steam as a service that could evolve into hardware if the rumors are true. Finally some Playstation Vita dissection to round out the show.

We stay on topic a lot and it was not easy to do that. Enjoy!

http://powet.tv/powetblog/?p=24328

POTUScast 114 Hail To The Chief

powettv@gmail.com (Powet.TV) — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 03:20:15 +0000

Happy President’s Day! For this very American holiday I’m joined by aDam, Sean, and Crazy to discuss fictional presidents in movies and TV, as well as real presidents used in popular movies. In the end, we nominate our favorites for a real run for office. Well; aDam, Sean and myself do. Crazy doesn’t make it to the second term.

http://powet.tv/powetblog/?p=24139

Powetcast 113: Open A New Tab

powettv@gmail.com (Powet.TV) — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 16:15:00 +0000

http://powet.tv/powetblog/?p=23658

This show begins as we're waiting to start the show. Crazy opens a new tab, Zac is at a loss for what to talk about, and aDam floods our inboxes with links.

This episode we discuss the movies Underworld Awakening, Source Code, and American Splendor. Then we send a Lego Man into space and have a surprisingly frank discussion on whether used games will be welcome in the next generation of consoles.

Powetcast 112 In The Air, Tonight.

powettv@gmail.com (Powet.TV) — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 03:11:00 +0000

SOPA, So what? You still get a new episode of the Powetcast today. We're going to talk Tebow in this episode. No really. Not really.

This episode we talk some TV, including Napoleon Dynamite, Workaholics, Portlandia, Alan Gregory, and Martin Luther King Jr. Crazy brings us toy news with Kinnikuman and the latest Matty collector foul up.

  - Zampella and West countersue (fired RIGHT before they were supposed to get paid for MW2)
  - Activision seeking internal documents of creation of new company (w/EA?)

Roundtable

Video Game Characterization
- With games (such as Mass Effect and Dragon Age) that allow players to make their own choices, there are still some rules for things players cannot do because of "story" and "characterization". Sexuality is increasingly one of those traits.
- I have one take on it, but BioWare disagrees.
