The Podge Cast

Hey folks.

Just a head’s up, I guest hosted over on Spooky Outhouse’s own Iron Agenda.  Even if you don’t play Warmachine or Hordes you need to listen to at least the first 15 minutes.  BAM!

Whether it’s in October, November, or any other month, it’s good to take stock of your blessings and give thanks for the joys–simple and great–in your life. Today, we at the PodgeCast, our families, and our friends, offer our heartfelt thanks for your participation in this little endeavor that means so much to us. You are our reward. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

There are a ton of video games that have come out this pre-holiday season, including a number that are considered must-haves by gamers across the globe.

Moving through mid November, I thought few things could top my experience with Fallout 3, which had solidly taken hold of my ‘game of the year’ spot.   I couldn’t have been more wrong, though.

Left4Dead isn’t a complicated game.  It pits 4 people against a horde of undead, populated by both normal zombies and special ‘boss’ zombies.  Besides the co-op, it has a Vs. mode in which actual people fill the rolls of the boss zombies.

Playing this tonight, in both Vs. mode and regular co-op, has been the most fun I’ve had playing video games in months, easily.

Whether you get it on Steam or on the 360, I consider this game the most fun since Portal.

Act accordingly.

From Tony Mast, at Back Seat Producers, who always has the Podge’s support:

As a site and podcast that 98% managed and produced by men, it would be easy to say we are doing this to save boobies.  National Breast Cancer Awareness Month not just something to snicker about though.  Too many people are affected and afflicted by this disease.

Women are made aware of the disease and how to look for the signs from an early age.  While not all of them heed the doctor’s advice, they are at least aware of their risks.  Guys are at risk of this too. (more…)
