We also chop it up about Halo, Halo 2, Deus Ex Human Revolution, Super Monday Night Combat, Black Ops, Modern Warfare 3, and Gears of War 3. Mortal and Scriclee drop science about gaming culture epiphanies we encountered this past week. We keep it simple. No background music. Just Video game banter by some hardcore gamers. Tune in.

The Host Advantage Podcast Episode Nine

We bring it back. Way Back. SkricLee Biz laces the show with some classic instrumentals. Rock Solid entertains us with talk of ‘Splosion Man. Skric is back on his Halo 3 grind. Mortal is all over the place with the games he has been playing. We are a week late with the NPD numbers, but better late than never. Mortal debuts his new persona of “Buzz Killington” as he tried to keep a happy Skric and joke telling Rock Solid on topic. Random adult references make this week’s show a must listen. Plus skricLee gives us his stock tips. Fun stuff.

The Host Advantage Podcast: Episode Eight - Yaw Yaw Yaw

Episode eight is here and so is the whole staff. We are back after a “week off” and our energy is at an all time high. Why you ask? Battlefield 1943 is finally available. The debut of this game was explosive (in more ways then one) to say the least. This show earns its mature tag (again) with the amount of F-Bombs dropped by me. There is a running joke the whole episode and the punchline is Treyarch. Also we make an attempt at our first mature discussion based on the need for violence in video games. Join in on the fun and tune into this instant classic.

The Host Advantage Podcast Episode Seven: Phoned It In

We take the week off for to celebrate the birthday of America (The 4th of July). We couldn’t go cold turkey so we decided to record a 10 minute minicast. Basically we kill two pigeons with one stone. We still get to reach out to our loyal listeners and we get to test out some new podcasting technology (well new for us) … Skype! Now we can have people “call” into the show for interviews. We leveled up again!
