Good or Blog 28

The end of an era marks the beginning of another, this is:

Gotta say bye eventually.

Taylor is moving to Austin, but we refuse to let this be a somber event, talking about video games, music, and fisting. We get things started by recapping the summer and talking about the likes of Kane & Lynch 2 and the recently released Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Then we get into a modicum of news and discuss the membership benefits of the PC gaming master race.

In segment 2 we talk a bit about game trailers as well as cheap and/or free video games. In particular, Spiral Knights is quite the catch! (spoilers) Finally we get around to the farewells proper, and Taylor espouses what it means to be Taylor. Cue the sad music and turn down the lights.

The third segment begins with our amazement at receiving an actual caller! From there we talk a bit about music and cap off the evening with previews of what’s to come and thanks for what has gone. Trust me, it’s hilarious.

I am in tears! Good or Blog Amazing Fantastic Audio Program comes to an end for the foreseeable future in:

He sure seems surprised.

For the last episode of the semester we take things easy, just have a slow going, relaxing, run of the mill program. EXCEPT NOT REALLY. The whole gang joins for a final blast of hilarity in the form of a clip show. But before that we discuss The Art of Video Games, and some quick new releases.

We end on a somber tone this week as the Amazing FAP comes to a close. Could this be the end of GorBAFAP? Listen to find out!

My ears hurt! This must be:

My phone has a shitty camera. Sue me.

I can't tell you how many times I've driven to Austin to see Anamanaguchi play a live show. Wait. Yes I can. Once. But we here at GorBAFAP don't go North too often, so this is kind of a big deal. Alongside the interesting punk rock road trip we also talk about... sigh... Harry Potter, but also some more CODYBLOPS, games about abortion, a certain awesome fan translation, and a bit more 3DS.

Segment 2 has some gator talk, and I play a few more My Little Pony clips. It is truly bizarre. There's also a pretty interesting freebie of the week and we talk about... THE FUTURE.

Finally, for the music segment I play some save game music, some serene and some pretty bumpin', we discover Taylor doesn't know how to work headphones, and we get some pretty sweet harmonies.

GET OVER HERE uh... ya'll? It's Good or Blog Amazing Fantastic Audio Program: Episode 25!

Is it just me, or is his finger impossibly long?

You will not believe the amount of disinterest this crew can muster for so many exciting things! Portal 2 came out and those collected have experienced a grand total of twenty minutes which all belong to me, so  expect discussion in that area to be limited. We also discuss the new Mortal Kombat in further depth and investigate the current PSN debacle, the new Nintendo console and some boring FTC junk! Also I challenge everyone listening to get mad at Taylor for drinking his goddamn soda so close to the mic. Taylor, please die.

Segment 2 sees us discussing alcoholic beverages and Russian first person shooters. We then go into the merits of shameless remakes and shitty ports. FASCINATING.

Finally, the music segment has music and very little else in the way of on topic discussion. I also make the startling announcement that there will be no show next semester, making the next few episodes the last. I hope you are very broken up about this. To help temper your crippling sadness I've made it possible to write your name down (or hell make up a name) and you will become part of the final GorBAFAP. Limited time offer so act now!

Just add your name to the list here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1a9tTMCBzAn4Qz2Hg79d_bYbOevjKsDfxmUr0_JbzRk0/edit?hl=en&authkey=CJ7L-9EM

Pretty dang kawaii

Good or Blog 24

Good or Blog transitions into 3D! Listen in to the ramblings of madmen who are supposed to be talking about the Nintendo 3DS!

I guess we sorta do?

Whoa we be talkin' about video games! We do this to the sweet sultry background tones of Jesus: Kyōfu no Bio Monster. I... I have no idea why! Going into news we discuss the impending bombshell of Portal 2 (which is no longer impending) as well as some of the far less relevant releases of the week. We also go into some talk of the 3DS which I have totally touched with my own hands! It's all pretty exciting and culminates in some more anime talk and a bit of the old Blazblue! (I love my Blazblue)

There is also far too much discussion about the stupidity of the Harry Potter universe. Can someone explain why this keeps coming up? I really cannot. 

Segment 2 provides proof of the existence of ghosts! I talk about a cool satirical RPG as well as some amazing steam deals and the nature of reality. It really is quite the adventure. (Not really, I just wanted an excuse to play a song made by a Japanese robot girl)

Finally, there's a music segment that everyone can get along with. We play some video game dubstep remixes and comment on their utter badness or lack thereof. Come along on a fantastic voyage of beats and bass!

Good or Blog 23

Lord have mercy, the sounds of the savior are taking over! It's... IT'S... GOOD OR BLOG AMAZING FANTASTIC AUDIO PROGRAM 23!

It's... a metaphor?

We kick off this very special episode by talking about some mediocre weekly releases and also the animes! In particular, we're joined by fellow radio show host Tad of Anytime is Train Time to talk about the impending live action Akira, as well as some Mortal Kombat, some huntin' gaemz, and the finer points of World War 2 era sniping!

In segment 2, GorBAFAP get's a spiritual advisor in the form of Aaron Gillespie of Underoath and The Almost fame. We talk about tattoos, the best continent, and every now and then a little bit of that Jesus guy. He woos us, serenades us, and just as quickly disappears into the aether. Quite the guy!

We cap off the episode with a quick music segment playing host to some relaxing songs and another case of Pokemon theft as well as some prospective GorB shirts. A possibility? No. Definitely no. You should listen solely for the finer points of Japanese for native English speakers at the end!

So here are the links to the GorB Compendium*

http://www.mediafire.com/?autqub5zyznxb - The main vault, has all episodes this season.

And in case you didn't notice, there are in fact two versions of this week's show. I know not everyone is crazy for Jesus, so I took the liberty of making a few key edits in the Aaron Gillespie interview. Hopefully you will find this version more politically correct.

Whoa has it already been 22 episodes? It's our first palindrome! Well... our first palindrome with the number 2... The next one of those won't be for 99 more episodes! Another palindrome! REGARDLESS. This is GorBAFAP Episode 22!

I'm the one with the goofy smile.

This week we get all 8-bit in the April Fools podcast with absolutely zero fooling! Honest! Don't expect any, you'll just let yourself down! We talk about some crazy news stuff and then I get mad at John. What else is new, right?

Segment 2 starts with a bit of racism and a bunch of fun, as everyone everywhere stumbles confusedly the forest thicket I like to call Weekly Segments. Eventually the truth comes out and we find out how much everyone in the room dislikes living in the town we live in. WOWZERS.

Segment 3 has all its wishes come true as it takes its rightful place as The Star of the Program. Super special guest host Kailean and I share our own 8-bit masterpieces and we highlight some awesome chiptune enabled artists as well. How can anything get more punk rock than that, you ask? I'll tell you how! Exposing the racist underpinnings of the Mushroom Kingdom, dutifully explained by a poor imitation of Marcus's extraordinarily southern boss. We've been incepted! WE HAVE TO GO DEEPER!

Also, changing things up a bit on the downloading front. You can now get all of this year's episodes (except for the radical new year's one) in one handy mediafire location:

Good or Blog 21

Good or Blog makes its triumphant return to the podcast scene with a show that can now legally drink. This is Episode 21!

I'm a little ashamed of how much time went into this.

We start out by going through some pretty amazing new releases and introducing first time guest Jitz (I swear that's how you spell his name)! From there we play host to a cavalcade of guests that all come to talk about Pokemon and get stumped by my super easy sound effect quiz! Also we get super special guest stars Avendicus on the program trying to figure out how to use a phone! Truly a treat here, ladies and gentlemen. Also listen to the break where they get their first radio play. Surely they will cherish this moment FOR ALL TIME.

For the second segment we speed through a pretty sweet free shmup and some awesome deals and then SHIT GETS REAL. Taylor brings his philosophy question to the table and we talk about how excellent My Little Pony is and how much life sucks. Escapism or enjoying the time we're given? YOU DECIDE. Wait, no. We'll do that for you.

We wrap everything up with a pretty sweet Pokemon centered music segment! We compare old and new and expose a serious theft in the latest generation! Listen in to find out about this atrocity as well as to hear some sweet Pokemon dubstep and the catchiest pony song you will ever have destroy your brain.

Choose life.

Choose Ponies.

Ow my ears! Good or Blog is breaking down yet another self imposed deadline with Episode 20:

You probably need to listen to get it.

Whoa man have you seen that Battlefield 3 trailer!? It looks... like every other FPS these days. Listen as we dissect it and every other new release this week including Fight Night and Bit.Trip Flux! We also address this extremely important Charlie Sheen situation to piano ballads. Also GDC happened and a bunch of people got awards so I use the occasion to play the Minecraft soundtrack and plug art in video games.

Dang that last segment was long. But for our awesome fans we muster the energy to talk about video games. Wait... what? We actually talk about fisting? Oh god dammit. Eventually we get back on to something resembling the topic of video games and go into some steam steals and an incredibly aimless philosophy segment.

Finally we close with some kickin' tunes with no real theme. Except they're kinda sad! Still pretty kickass.

You can’t explain it! We’re Good or Blog and we’re here to discreetly inform and entertain you.

 

Link to Dat Ass

Whoa whoa whoa, the original Legend of Zelda turned 25 this week! We acknowledge this by barely discussing it at all but using it as an excuse to play sound effects and borderline unrelated music.

We also talk about Killzone, contreversy, Bill O’Reilly (again), the insanity that is 3DS cases (and launch titles), and the new Skyrim trailer. Also, Wii sex game!?


For segment 2 we talk about incredible Command & Conquer deals and really get serious about this whole piracy thing. Is it theft? Is it okay? What are these morals things?


We cap off this fantastic program with a batch of ecclectic Zelda mixes and some pretty touching revelations about the things we love. Also, we just cannot figure out how to use a phone?

This week things get punchy as we talk about Marvel vs. Capcom 3!

Deal With It.

That's right! This week we talk about everyone's favorite resurrected fighting franchise! No, not Mortal Kombat. No, not Street Fighter. No, not Samurai Showdown. That's it! Marvel vs. Capcom 3! We also talk about award winning game music! Zombies! Comic books! And grisly murder!

In the second segment I try and host a radio show while my surroundings are plunged into eternal chaos thanks to surprise co-hosts and a flagrant disregard for the topic at hand! Things get pretty heated folks, and I am pretty sure I threaten homicide on more than one occasion! No business like show business!

Finally we cap things off with some fighting game soundtracks and another Taylor diatribe about he is completely insane and without any hope for salvation. Good luck with that buddy!

Happy V-Day! Why don't you kick back, enjoy a brew, and listen to Good or Blog Amazing Fantastic Audio Program  17: WHY is Love?

You could say this episode shows real heart.

We kick off with some good old fashioned nonsense, such as weekly releases, talk of mechanical rodents, rumors involving a certain Pro Skater and cancer, and bashing of the conservative media. It's as if someone stole my radio show about video games and turned it into madness!

Segment 2 has us all talking about free games, sound effects, and trains when, gasp! All of the sudden two common vagrants (Charles and Evan) bust in and hold us hostage with their sad analogies of love and digital loss. You will never be the same again after listening to this program.

We bring it on home with some good old fashioned rambling along with intermittent discussion and Charles performing a death metal voice over J-Pop. At least the music is good!

On a completely unrelated note, buy Red Bull.

Also, also Taylor should really check his facts.

Welcome to a whole new semester of shenanigans with the first new episode of season 2:
Good or Blog Episode 16: DERP Space 2!

We're such good friends.

We kick off the new season by declaring all previous episodes non-canon. That’s right newcomers, jump right in! Right into some horrible new releases and intriguing discussions about the PSP2 announcement, Dead Space 2, Demon’s Souls 2, and more!

In the next segment we get the rare show crossover as Chris of On Hold joins us to talk about a free sequel, steals of the Steam variety, and the merits of making endless iterations of the same tired crap!

Finally we hold our “annual” music segment and John shares the sad and lonely tale of Ancient Lake. Chris experiences enlightenment at the hands of my thoughtful song choice and we all laugh at the horrible wreck my mind has become since I was last “on air”. Stay tuned for the next one folks, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride.

Good or Blog Episode 15

I always keep my promises. Mostly.

I think it deserves a platinum trophy.

I promised I would make at least one show during the Winter break and here you go, fair listeners. Serving as the one year anniversary of the podcast, this episode also has the honor of being the most populated show with five guests plus your humble host. We all recount our 2010 games of the year as well as giving some reasons to look forward to the years ahead. Try and take us seriously as apparently none of us even played video games this year.

Segment 2 is our impromptu award ceremony, as we give out our own personal awards to whatever we want dammit. Also Vince opines the deliciousness of cold truth. More like delicious mess, AMIRITE?

Finally, we close with our regular music segment and provide proof positive that not a single one of us has good taste in music. Seriously, Vince? You're gonna pick a song from Mortal Kombat that sounds the least like a Mortal Kombat song?

After laboriously editing each segment (I can't wait to get back to the radio), I put all three files in a single zip folder:

Enjoy!

Also I feel like I need to explain the genres tags.

Also also, be warned. We tend to curse like fuckin' sailors without the shackles of an associated organization.

Remember when I told you the last episode was the last episode? I lied. So welcome to Good or Blog Audio 14: I am the Wind Waker, It's Me

This is how most our conversations go anyways.

This week is special in that during the entire episode I am bleeding profusely from the mouth! That and no real news has occurred since the previous episode, making this one more of a sendoff to this semester. It plays out like  Christmas Special where I start alone, when suddenly! A knock at the door! It's my guests and they come bearing tacos! We then proceed to talk about video games and also not video games.

We talk about the VGAs, Mortal Kombat, and Grinches, and close out with some festive music. We then speed through the weekly segments talking about creepy poetry and creepy game sales, and finally cap the whole thing off with a bit of music and some thanks, we may also make a dick joke here and there. A class act through and through.

Anywho! Thank you for listening! Thank you for reading! And don't forget to join me next semester for Season 2!

Good or Blog Audio Program 13

For perhaps the last episode of the semester everyone gears up and gets ready for the last challenge, Episode 13: Finals Boss.

So here we are.

With the next week a little unclear we here at Good or Blog decide to go out with a bang and grace your ears with the greatest episode yet. We open with weekly releases from last week as well (having missed it) and talk about such hits as Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, Epic Mickey, Assassin's Creed Broho, and Need for Speed Hot Fursuit (you read that right). Ryan Reynolds is brought up and the whole show becomes sexier for it. Also I make a daring repair rescue while the other guys blather about Wikipedia or something? Pfff, NERDS.

Segment 2 has the usual suspects, free games, no deals, and our deepest philosophy question yet. Turns out, we all die! Don't miss it! (Also you can get the free game mentioned here)

For our last segment we're joined by a guest and break out the imagination box and discuss our hypothetical final boss battles and the soundtracks therein. More last minute repairs follow, and we get some pretty unique pics and I find out how unimaginative I am. CODYBLOPS STOLE MY IDEA.

Anyways, we're gonna try something new and forego Mr. Megaupload, here is a direct link: Good or Blog Audio Program 13.mp3

Rescued from the jaws of deletion and disappearance (for better or for worse) comes the fabled Good or Blog Lost Episode: Episode 12: Terribad!

Twelfth time's a charm.

Everyone is mad at everyone! Also this episode marks our first female guest. It only took us nearly a year! After begrudgingly discussing the new releases of the week (two weeks ago), we cover the whispers and rumors of the week in a suitably abrasive manner. Seriously, why everyone so mad?

We don't have time to find out since we jet into the weekly segments where I talk about some free to play MMOs and throw my hands up in exasperation over impending Black Friday madness. Finally we get to philosophy and everyone seems to have forgotten what a narrative is as our guest and audience collapse in on themselves similar to a burgeoning black hole. That's entertainment.

We finish the segment with another first, our first guest caller! Thanks for the support, Chris!

The last segment is the real main attraction here, a collage of terrible music and appropriately angry hosts. Seriously, you'd think this show were some kind of video game talk show reenactment of 28 Days Later given all the raging nerds in one tiny recording room. Thankfully this time we manage to avoid some choice swears, so this time you'll have to complain all the bad music.

So this week a tiny little independent game came out called CODYBLOPS. It's pretty entertaining, and a huge chunk of this episode is dedicated to it. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to:

I'm too sexy for amateur photography.

Besides going over the weekly releases (and shovelware) we also discuss Congress's latest hearings on video games, Guillermo del Toro Lovecraftian video game announcement and the top 10 reasons (more or less) you should play the latest Call of Duty game, as well as why you should kill children.

Then, we get in touch with our cheap side and dispense some free Quake clones, as well as some (relative) Steam Stealz. Afterwards, Taylor won't shut up about realism or killing children or some junk. Whatever.

Finally we wrap up with the music segment. Taylor gets uppity, and I have to put him in his place. We close on a classy note and implore you to just drop everything and kill children.

As always, here is the link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=UJP46RCX

P.S. Does anyone else think I curse too much?
P.P.S. Kill children.

Good or Blog Audio Program 10

This week on everyone's favorite podcast we talk about well uh... how Falstad was supposed to be on the Council of Three Hammers but actually wasn't in the game at all.

Or Blizzcon for short.

Not exactly the most recent of events, but still we have a fun time talking about all this World of Warcraft and Diablo 3 business, as well as talking about how C-List celebrity Jay Mohr is one of the least funny people on the planet Earth (though he does a pretty good Christopher Walken).

Then, we talk about a free alternative to Starcraft 2 for the cash-strapped and the Linux-based, and talk about the merits of competitive gaming while Taylor feigns interest in the whole thing.

We wrap up with some pretty sweet tunes that we all picked that were actually picked by me alone. Sometimes, I scare myself with how cool I am.

Good or Blog Audio Program 9

In an extraordinary display of relevance and seasonal planning, Good or Blog gets into the Halloween spirit and throws its first Good or Scare Frightening Terrorsode!

Your results may vary.

We kick this bitch off with some decidedly un-scary new releases like Fable 3, but then dive straight into Scarytown with other new release CSI: Deadly Conspiracy, and my pick for scariest game of all time Skeleton 64. Truly, you are in a for a roller coaster of emotions and self-censoring as we discuss true terror while trying to remain FCC safe.

Then, we talk about some free scary games, some excellent steam steals, and the philosophy of being scared (protip: there isn't much).

Finally, we bring this baby home with the music segment where I basically picked every song because motherfuckers be all forgetful up in this bitch. Word. To. Your. Mother.

Here's the link:

Also, in the background of most segments is Symphonies of the Planets, a series of recording by the NASA voyager of actual astral bodies. WHy? Because apparently the planets are fucking horrifying.
