The news runs a somewhat typical gamut this week, from annoucements (DeathSpank 2), delays (FF XIV) and cancellations (This is Vegas), to more heady stuff about downloadable content, Portal in the classroom, and theorizing about the next Yakuza game.

Tactical RPGs? Strategy RPGs? Whichever is the proper term, Kat, Jeremy, Ray and special guest Christian Nutt sit down to discuss the ups and downs of one of the nerdiest RPG subgenres. The crew also takes a look at the recently-released Ys Seven, but not before Travis Williams and Scott Sharkey stop by to share their thoughts on the recently-announced Neverwinter reboot by Cryptic.

August 20, 2010 09:00 - 1 hour - 74.7 MB

Sharkey is back from his vacation, but Sam is off in Germany. Matt sits in and is kind of an old grump about it all while we talk about Italians threatening to kneecap Mafia II for sterotyping them, play Icarus Proudbottom and the Curse of the Chocolate Fountain, and take questions, and chatter about what games we've had stolen from us. Also, some guy in Malawi claims to have grown lady parts but we're more blown away that Tina has apparently been reading Perez Hilton.

August 11, 2010 09:00 - 1 hour - 70.5 MB

Sex! We "tee hee" a lot when it comes up. On this week's OddNews, we talk about Ratchet and Clank, Blizzard removing inappropriate maps in StarCraft II, and Activision making a move on hindering used game sales. Recession gaming involves the shooter in your pants, a.k.a. Privates. And we tangent off into a talk about cyber sex in World of Warcraft.

August 04, 2010 09:00 - 1 hour - 82 MB

The whole crew is reunited after a short absence from Chris. Battlefield 3 is announced in a shitty way, the Gears of War movie adaptation is delayed, the Crayon Physics guy has another food game, and we talk about our Games to Play Before You Die feature.

It's the Sound Test's first Jazz Show. Join host Ray Barnholt on a trip through the smoother side of game music, from arrangementss of classic games like Rolling Thunder and Phoenix Wright, to original selections from SimCity, Napple Tale, and much more. More than in a usual episode, in fact.

July 30, 2010 09:00 - 1 hour - 60.3 MB

Ray Barnholt has gone fishin', so manager Matt Leone has decided to call Mike Cruz out of the bullpen to man the mound. Frank Cifaldi leads off with a wrap-up of his Comic-Con adventures, Justin Haywald argues with the ump about What Games to Play Before You Die, and the whole team gets together in the dugout to talk about the news of the week. And what does this episode have to do with baseball? Absolutely nothing.

Things fall apart quickly as Travis gets pulled away by corporate fat cats before the show starts and audio difficulties hinder the first few minutes of the show.

Matt subs in for Chris this week as we rap about women apparently spending more than guys on imaginary videogame items, the awesome freebie game Alien Swarm, the Medal of Honor beta is fun, and we hate on the eleven states that support the California anti-videogame law.

News takes up most of the attention this week, although one new and interesting game makes it in DeathSpank, with pre-release impressions from Matt and Scooter. Other than that, it's a roundup including PlayStation Move launch games, Kinect's possible standing-room-only, Activision's desired PC-based future, NBA Jam probably coming to the HD consoles, Mortal Kombat, Red Dead, and as always: So.

This week, we make an attempt to have a serious discussion about games as art—no, not really. Sam brings up Ebert's recent comments while everyone else falls asleep, Miyamoto makes a comment about needing new game characters, and uh, Dead or Alive will just be as perverted on the 3DS. Sharkey suggests Transformice for Recession gaming and we have our usual email and voicemail segment.

July 04, 2010 09:00 - 20 minutes - 18.9 MB

Summer hits hard on this episode of the Sound Test, with a big summer game (Super Mario Galaxy 2), breezy RPG music (Xenoblade), slightly country-fried leanings (Crystal Bearers), days spent inside with the Nintendo (Zoda's Revenge), and an all-too-fitting end from a Japanese classic.

1UP.com - In This Thread - 07/02/2010

July 02, 2010 09:00 - 1 hour - 67.1 MB

A new name for an old show is the least of the discussion this week. Ray asks Jeremy Parish about Crackdown 2 (or at least the most he can talk about), Justin chimes in with impressions of Puzzle Agent and Lego Harry Potter, and the news hits everything from Roger Ebert to PlayStation Plus to weird in-game advertising.

June 27, 2010 09:00 - 1 hour - 73.7 MB

What's that noise? It's our world cup edition! The crew gets settled in after E3. Although, we can't figure out how to get Chris to stop sounding like a robot. We discuss Odd news of the week, like Kinect's pricing, children can't play 3DS, and Iwata's comment on the industry. We make fun of the comments in our E3 award feature and answer more call-in questions. Vuvuzela!

June 25, 2010 09:00 - 59 minutes - 54.6 MB

It's been a nice week of post-E3 decompression for us. Ray, Justin, Matt and Frank take to the mics to give some final thoughts on this year's show. Key points include late impressions of Journey on PS3, thoughts on E3 as a whole and where it may be headed, perhaps even if it's going out of hand; and in the second half, a sort-of news segment that's mostly about Microsoft's as-yet-unconfirmed Kinect price, and how Sony and others are pricing their motion control options. Plus, the elusive 3DS...

Retronauts Episode 95

June 24, 2010 20:00 - 1 hour - 66 MB

When podcasts collide you get a downright erratic episode of Retronauts. Ray Barnholt talks to fellow podcasters Jordan Morris and Jesse Thorn, and explores the duo's own histories with videogames. But just what do they talk about? Virtually everything, including the Atari Lynx, Nintendo's E3 lineup, all sorts of sports games, R.O.B., and Barkley Shut Up and Jam Gaiden. Let's go!
