Elder-Speek: The Elder-Geek.com Podcast

This week Gavin pokes Mats till he cries, what more do you really need to know?

A bit of a late episode this week due to some totally non-human error that was totally unforeseeable and totally innocent, totally. Never the less, here is the latest episode of the winner of Elder-Geek.com's award for "longest running almost weekly kind of good show!" Oh and Mats and Gavin are still dead, but at this point who really cares?

Mats is back and improved as he is now a double zombie, after getting his head blown off last week he was reresurrected by Trevor the witchdoctor, who still just will not succumb to having his brains eaten. Being a double zombie has given Mats unforeseen powers, allowing him dominion over all other zombies, which Gavin wasn't too happy to hear. How will he react? Find out next week on the Elder-Speek podcast, which coincidentally you can listen to by following the link below.

Elder-Geek's very own zombie-apocalypse is looking like it might be slowing down, Mats has disappeared and some speculate that he's met the final death. And the new shining glimmer of hope comes in the form of the yet-uninfected Trevor Faulkner who returns to the show this week to work his voodoo magic on Gavin, making him docile enough to communicate in words rather than screams and throat gurgle.

Gavin is back for this week's show. Being resurrected from the dead has made him hormonal and indecisive. Basically, he's weird as a zombie..

Mats is back for this week's show. Being resurrected from the dead has made him disagreeable and hot-tempered. Basically, he owns as a zombie..

Randy is back for this week's show. Being resurrected from the dead has made him agreeable and well-tempered. Basically, he sucks as a zombie..

If you've been paying attention, you'll have noticed that last week didn't include a Elder-Speek episode. This was due to a freak accident that was in no way at all my fault, pinky promise. However the situation has left us with a rather awesome result, you get two episodes of Elder-Speek. Right Now. For Free! We'll okey they've always been free, but you get the point.

This week on Elder-Speek Gavin and Mats go over the news of the week, including a response to Greg Zeschuk of Bioware's hypothesis that Triple A game development is a poor goal.

This week Mats and Chris are talking Milo, Playstation 4, Tim Schafer, Dragon Age 2 and Obsidian Entertainment. It's a tightly compressed show yet jam packed with gaming news goodness. Give it a listen!

This issue of Elder-Speek is all about perhaps naive wishes and hopeful predictions, despite constant challenges received from less then favourable news. Randy and Mats discuss the news of the week while Gavin is on vacation, short and sweet..

Gavin and Randy knock out all the news that was important this past week. Turns out the gaming world was relatively quiet.

It’s our E3 wrap-up show! We still have a few interviews and previews to eek out, but for all intents and purposes, E3 is dead to us. This show is our final thoughts on it. Gavin and Chris join the show this week to talk about their experiences at the LACC. Sela couldn’t join us due to audio issues and Cheyenne is off having a good time away from his computer.

E3 2010 is almost here and gamers across the world await it in eager anticipation, scratching the walls and biting their nails out of sheer excitement and longing. To help alleviate some of the medical issues associated with this phenomenon we here at Elder-Geek LLC have concocted an effective mix of predictions and sneak peeks at what you can expect to see and hear from E3 2010. To deliver this treatment as effectively as possible we've decided to introduce it though a series carefully calibrated sounds to stimulate the senses, most effectively received by way of stereo speakers or headphones.

Disclaimer: This is in no way a ultimate cure, instead merely a treatment to help you cope with the symptoms of pre-E3 hysteria, for the cure to this most debilitating illness please keep tuned to the foremost E3 hysteria expert (elder-geek.com) to be administered the gradual cure in the form of E3 2010 news live from the show floor.

Look, it's a bird, it's a plane, it's superman, it's some strange dude in tights, wait, wait…no…it's nothing. Sorry guys a mere trick of the mind, but to make up for it we're back after two weeks of failed attempts with a new episode of Elder-Speek. Randy, Gavin and Mats sit down to catch you up on the last two weeks of news and call bullshit on just about all of it. Enjoy!

Tonight's episode is a short one, not for a lack of things to talk about, but because of a failure of our recording software to successfully render the second half of the podcast. None the less for the first half you'll be able to hear Mats, Gavin and Kipp discuss half of this week's news, Randy is sadly absent has his computer has decided to leave him behind while it ascends to a higher plain of existence.
