Sat, 25 Jul 2008 16:00:01 GMT http://www.tetriseffect.com/podcast/TEP-S1E8.mp3 Our podcast like to party all the time, and yet is still able to maintain it's professionalism, just like a Tuxedo T shirt. E3 is just around the corner and we talk about what our hopes and expectations for the event in our main topic. News items include Assassin's Creed 2's (lack of) hype, Rock Band 2, and 1 out of 5 crazy Canadians gaming in the nude. 17 beers were absolutely destroyed in the making of this podcast. Sat, 12 Jul 2008 22:00:01 GMT http://www.tetriseffect.com/podcast/TEP-S1E7.mp3 Snake? SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE??!?!?! Metal Gear is on our minds these days as our good friend Olaf makes his retrun to join us for our Metal Gear discussion in the main topic this week. News items included the first Call of Duty 5 trailer (including some ideas we put together for the future of the series: COD 8: Tiananmen Square in 2015!!), Team Fortress 2 Pyro achievements, and Nintendo admitting the Wii's lack of storage is an issue. Karim may or may not have consumed a raspberry flavored vodka cooler but we'll try and forget about that. The thing is came from Rocky's fridge. Trouble is afoot!

We prove that we're not entirely full of shit as Valve "officially" announces the next set of achievements for TF2 will be for the Pyro. Other news items include actual Duke Nukem Forever gameplay footage, Jack Thompson up shit creek and a possible Bioshock 3 marking the completely random on air return of Frank Fontaine. Unfortunately Frank's A material didn't clear customs HEYOH! In our main topic we discuss our love and hate relationship we have when video games and movies collide. Mon, 10 Jun 2008 5:00:01 GMT http://www.tetriseffect.com/podcast/TEP-S1E5.mp3 Karma is a BITCH, a technically difficult bitch. Wouldn't you know it, the episode we have a little fun with another podcast for their poor audio quality is the one where our own takes a F'ing nose dive. News topics include the plethora of new Guitar Hero games coming out next year, Japan's biggest Wii sellers, and more. We do a Lanageddon wrap up and offer some constructive(?) criticism to a fellow podcast complete with some hilarious sample audio. Maybe even a little bonus content at the end? I'll never tell. Warning!: Rough audio at times. I would recommend skipping 39:30 to 51:00, it's just news anyway. All other rough patches are much less lengthy and worth enduring. Mon, 02 Jun 2008 2:00:01 GMT http://www.tetriseffect.com/podcast/TEP-S1E4.mp3 This podcast is all Team Fortress and Grand Theft Auto. We get an inside scoop into what the guy's at Valve have planned for the next big TF2 updates including the next set of class achievements and "Meet the ____" video. GTA is the biggest release of 08 thus far and is a definite game of the year candidate. With all the time we spend talking about it we still can't really do the game justice. It's all GTA baby and we're loving every hooker killing second of it.

Pro Gamers are finally getting respect and Take THAT! print media. Someone played Halo 3? GTFO. Achievement Points and DLC Talk and is it any coincidence that Rocky doesn't have a job and he has more to drink on this podcast than any other before? You be the judge.

We're back with the official launch of the Tetris Effect Empire. This show we're adding another name to what will hopefully be a long list of show contributors as Olaf sits down to share his side of things. Editor's Note: Olaf currently does not own a gaming device and should be made fun of. News topics this episode include Bioshock 2, A Disctrict Attoryney buy's gaming comp with public funds?, and Mario Kart's release date and Wii's problems. Our main topic of discusion for this episode revolves around collector's editions of games. Sat, 15 Mar 2008 03:58:45 GMT http://www.tetriseffect.com/podcast/TEP-S1E1.mp3
