PB & Jason

Issue 132: FLUFF Edition One!

February 07, 2014 17:30 - 42 minutes - 39 MB

Chris Iozzi here, while Jason was at work I snuck into PBJ Headquarters and did a little podcast of my own! Don't tell him, he's kinda funny about people touching his stuff. So anyway, just like a Fluffernutter, this podcast is just like a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich, but...wrong. So take a listen while I ramble on about not Pokémon, bore you to death with my thoughts on the Call of Duty: Ghosts campaign. Swoon over Bravely Default, and ponder the future of Nintendo. Leave your comments...

Issue 131: Barbecue Sauce, Pickle Slices, and Slivered Onions

January 16, 2014 02:00 - 1 hour - 73.4 MB

Happy New Year! I suppose that's a little late of a thing to say, but it's been a while, hasn't it? PB & Jason returns today with a bonus-length episode to make up for time lost. This week's PB & Jason covers Pokémon, Super Mario 3D World, the newer video game consoles, and asrealasitgets's blog post. When will the next PB & Jason be? No one knows for sure... Tune in!

Issue 130: In Which There is Absolutely No Mention of Disney Epic Mickey or Scribblenauts

October 24, 2013 01:19 - 1 hour - 63 MB

This week's PB & Jason will probably lie to you. Don't believe what I say in the show's intro, as there isn't really anything about Pokémon in the podcast at all! If I were a betting man, I would also wager that somehow both Epic Mickey and Scribblenauts are discussed. Surprise! Tune in! Leave a comment! Send an email!

Issue 129: [Citation Needed]

October 18, 2013 00:42 - 46 minutes - 42.8 MB

In this issue of PB & Jason, we have Pokémon X & Y, a weirdly-worded Joystiq story, potentially low Xbox One and PS4 console pre-order sales, and an inferred reason for the delay of Ubisoft's Watch_Dogs.

Issue 128: Rise of the Death of the Shadow of the Eternals, Vol. CXXVIII

October 10, 2013 01:58 - 54 minutes - 50.1 MB

Do you have money? If so, please send it to Precursor Games. They're probably going to develop a video game with it. Maybe. Maybe not. They've totally been working on it for the past year! Scout's honor! They'd show you proof, but where's the fun in that? Oh, right, also on the podcast is some Dungeon Defenders II news, some Pokémon X & Y hype, and some Nintendo Direct reactions.

Issue 127: The Wonderful 127!

September 26, 2013 02:42 - 1 hour - 55.4 MB

This week's PB & Jason still has a bit about GTA V. Nothing disparaging, mind you, rather, GTA V is used to point out trouble with the ESRB, the (non-gaming) media, and the Molyneux. After that? Expect to hear my opinion on Square-Enix's disappointing Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy as well as some initial impressions on the enjoyable The Wonderful 101. Tune in! Leave a comment! Send an email!

Issue 126: Boxy Moron

September 19, 2013 02:45 - 1 hour - 67.2 MB

For the second week in a row, PB & Jason is here! Issue 126 starts with a rant against the upcoming cloud-based Pokémon Box subscription service and follows with a very long-winded rant about the direction Gearbox Software is headed. Mix in a dash of insight for Nintendo's new sales strategy for Wii Sports Club and a bit of GTA V and CoD:BlOps2, and you've got yourself a podcast! Tune in! Leave a comment! Send an email!

Issue 125: Jason New 125 #1...25

September 12, 2013 01:28 - 1 hour - 64.6 MB

PB & Jason is back! This week's issue covers some of the bigger news between the last PB & Jason up until now. I'm not going to go into many details, but the focus is on new handheld consoles (and TV counterparts) and old subscription fee woes. Tune in! Leave a comment! Send an email!

Issue 124 Part Two: Boomstick Edition

May 30, 2013 06:36 - 1 hour - 91.8 MB

Before you sit down to devour your weekly PB & Jason, make sure you have an hour and fourty minutes on your plate! PB & Jason 124 part two tackles all the topics left after last Thursday's first part: The various game ideas based on somewhat random audience suggestions; the aftermath of the Xbox One unveil, specifically the console's somewhat confusing used games policy; the Nintendo Direct from the middle of May; and the confusing situation behind Precursor Games kickstarter projects, inclu...

Issue 124 Part One: Not Easy as 1, 2, 3...

May 24, 2013 04:18 - 1 hour - 61.4 MB

This week's PB & Jason is split into two parts. Why? There's just too much to talk about. The Xbox One alone takes up more than an entire issue! That means today, you'll get some perspective on the entire Xbox One reveal press conference. PB & Jason covers the entire stage reveal: The TV parts, the all-in-one parts, Kinect, the gameplay footage that lacked gameplay, and the cross-generation and multiplatform games shown. The verdict? Things aren't looking so good. Tune into tomorrow for the ...

Issue 123: PixlBite Engine 3

May 10, 2013 01:33 - 42 minutes - 39.1 MB

That's right, this week's PB & Jason is mostly about people NOT developing things for the Wii U. It isn't a big surprise, since that seems to have taken up most of this week's headlines. It's also about hopes that EA's Star Wars exclusivity license is more limited than we believe it is. Interspersed throughout the discussion of games that aren't for the Wii U are a few thoughts about the trouble ahead for the PS4 and the next XBox, as well. Follow all of this with some discussion about the r...

Issue 122: Is a Kinect Worth Over $2,000 and Your Dignity?

May 02, 2013 05:34 - 52 minutes - 48 MB

This week's PB & Jason was recorded in front of a live studio audience. Or it wasn't. I can say this: No one's ever lost money playing a carnival game to listen to PB & Jason. I'm not sure if I should be proud or saddened by that fact. To know what I'm talking about, you'll have to click through to listen to the podcast. Also in this issue: The potential upside to avoiding an E3 press conference, Virtual Console blues, and Luigi's Mansion 2.

Issue 121: The Third Strongest PB & Jason

April 18, 2013 05:41 - 50 minutes - 46 MB

Earthbound is on the way to the Virtual Console! I thought it would never happen. Other good news from today's Nintendo Direct includes a new Zelda title, a new Yoshi's Island game, and some release dates. However, all of this information is sombered by a shocking realization: With the exception of SiNG Party and debatably Kirby's Dream Collection: Special Edition, Nintendo hasn't released a single console game that was announced after E3 2011. Mystifying! Oh, and the podcast actually starts...

Issue 120: Lasers and Toilets and Blogs!

April 05, 2013 02:49 - 58 minutes - 53.7 MB

In this week's PB & Jason, a few blogs are invaded, specifically Nick's "Ask Me Anything -- Volume #2" and GirlGamerBritt's "Replay Hell: Final Fantasy XIII (Yes, I'm going there)." Beyond those blogs, talk continues about Square-Enix's problems, courtesy of Coolsetzer's comment last issue, along with discussion about why LucasArts may have closed, Gearbox's Borderlands 2, and a little bit of Luigi's Mansion 2. Click through to listen to the podcast! PB & Jason is recorded in front of a live...

Issue 119: Life is Like a Hurricane! I-in E-A!

March 28, 2013 03:14 - 37 minutes - 34.7 MB

They failed SimCity, caused gamers mis'ry! EA Fails! Woo ooh! Every day they're out not making game sales! Woo ooh! Sales not faring, do-bad, and they suck-sales! Ok, that's enough of that for now. This week's PB & Jason is sponsored by issues EA and Square-Enix have been having. Both CEOs resigned, both are great at pouring money down the drain, and the former of the two currently has an image problem. Of course, there are other gaming things to mention. A little bit of news out of PAX gets...

Issue 118: SimFantaCity

March 14, 2013 03:35 - 1 hour - 65.8 MB

You may have heard the news that F-Zero AX was discovered inside F-Zero GX. That news inspired a brief bit of talk about other places where things were hidden pretty deep inside a few games from the past, mostly on the N64. Naturally, SimCity took up a lot of time, too, and Issue 118 closes with some of Julian's Final Fantasy piece. Be sure to listen to the beginning to catch a few more details about the Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Community week! Click through for listening and download links...

Issue 117: Dead Space City 13

March 07, 2013 03:35 - 1 hour - 61.8 MB

That's right, EA gets a lot of attention in this week's PB & Jason. Why? Well, for starters, SimCity has always-on DRM that's preventing a lot of people from playing the game. Beyond that, rumors of an unsuccessful Dead Space 3 & the cancellation of a Dead Space 4 has drawn ire, whether these rumors are true or not! On top of all this, we've got a couple user blogs focused, some discussion on in-game promotions of some video game media outlets, a special mention of Epic Mickey for some of my...

Issue 116: Phoning It In

February 28, 2013 01:13 - 1 hour - 58.5 MB

Hello and welcome to PB & Jason! If you're a first-time listener, you'll be in for a treat. In the first part of the issue, I talk a bit about myself and my history with video games. For the second half, I literally just rely a bit too heavily on blogs. Why would I come up with compelling content if I can just take others', after all? PB & Jason is recorded in front of a live studio audience every Wednesday, weather permitting. Click through for listening and download links! As always, you c...

Issue 115: In Real Time

February 21, 2013 03:22 - 1 hour - 59.2 MB

The key phrase at the PlayStation 4 announcement event was "...in real time." A point this PB & Jason tries to make is that real-time, scripted footage produces visuals that are often of higher quality than actual gameplay footage, and unfortunately, developers and publishers take advantage of that fact. Regardless, this week's PB & Jason covers last week's Nintendo Direct in brief, and then tackles the announcements of the PlayStation2013 event. Impressions of the reveals are mixed: Most of...

Issue 114: Legends of the Hidden Rayman

February 14, 2013 04:03 - 58 minutes - 53.7 MB

Before you lies a podcast of epic recordings and thoughts suspended by a lifetime gamer's knowledge and insight. When listeners hit the play button, one topic from the show will begin being discussed. This time, it's the disappointment found in Aliens: Colonial Marines. Once the listener has completed that segment of the show, expect to come face-to-face with the Legend of Rayman, himself, as well as his delay on the Wii U. By now, podcast fans should have obtained at least a piece of a pend...

Issue 113: War on Spector

January 31, 2013 00:24 - 49 minutes - 45.6 MB

Disney has shuttered Junction Point Studios. While it's good news for Disney's bottom line (and for people who don't enjoy games of low quality,) it makes one wonder who is at fault in a time like this. PB & Jason 113 explores that question a little bit, but in the end, the obvious conclusion, Warren Spector, is reached. Aside from that, issue 113 follows-up last week's Wired's Chris Kohler "Nintendo Direct Vaporware" article taking Kohler's follow-up article into consideration. PB & Jason a...

Issue 112: Direct Feedback

January 25, 2013 02:56 - 1 hour - 58.3 MB

This week's PB & Jason focuses on two things: Ni no Kuni and Wednesday's Nintendo Direct. Expect to hear my evolving viewpoint on Level 5 and Studio Ghibli's hotly anticipated RPG in the next few weeks. Before I get ahead of myself, plan for an episode where I mostly rant about the media's editorials in response to yesterday's Nintendo Direct. Click through for the listening and download links! Make sure you tune into this week's PB & Jason! You may just have a lot of fun! Tune in next Wedne...

Issue 111: The Emperor's New Game of the Year

January 18, 2013 02:45 - 58 minutes - 53.9 MB

PB & Jason is back in style for the new year! PB & Jason's first 2013 podcast is just fantastic. How fantastic? So much so, that I feel a need to post a list of types of people who would likely become offended if they were to listen: Pokémon Fans Journey Fans Capcom Fans Tekken Fans Dead Island Fans Disney Fans Playstation Fans Xbox Fans Skylanders Fans Entertainment Weekly Fans Racists Make sure you tune into this week's PB & Jason! You'll either get angry or have a lot of fun! Tune in ne...

Issue 109: Half-Faked

December 07, 2012 02:26 - 27 minutes - 25.3 MB

This week in PB & Jason: THQ Humble Bundle is performing well. It's probably worth noting this week's PB & Jason highlights the deal and names each game. After that, there's more Vita discussion, specifically about buyer's confusion. What are the games worth buying for myself? Finally, we get to the fake parts of today's podcast. Make sure you tune in for them! Click through for the download and streaming links! PB & Jason is (usually) recorded in front of a live studio audience every Wednes...

Issue 108: Mini Miiverse

November 29, 2012 02:35 - 50 minutes - 46.6 MB

This week's PB & Jason offers a question: What will it take for you to buy a PlayStation Vita? Oh, it also asks why you would buy a Wii Mini! Beyond those two consoles and the special deals available for them, PB & Jason 108 takes you on a journey of three Wii U launch titles -- Nintendo Land, New Super Mario Bros. U, and Disney Epic Mickey 2 -- providing definitive verdicts on each one. Click through for the download and streaming links! PB & Jason is recorded in front of a live studio audi...

Issue 107: New Super PB & Jason U

November 15, 2012 04:54 - 1 hour - 69.8 MB

This week's PB & Jason is another launch preview! What does that mean? Listen in to PB & Jason and you'll get a little bit of information about each and every Wii U launch title. Ports or exclusives, you'll find out why you should buy (or avoid) specific games come this Sunday. When the focus is on a ported title, expect to hear what makes the Wii U version of the game stand out from the other versions. For the Wii U exclusives, I cover why a game might stand out from the rest! If you're eve...

Issue 106: A Very Spooky PB & Jason

October 31, 2012 23:44 - 41 minutes - 38.4 MB

This week's PB & Jason features a list and description of game titles just perfect for Halloween! Games with costumes, games with suspense, and even games that feature ghosts and never-ending mazes! That's right, PB & Jason is chock full of various games fit for Halloween. Even better? The list fore-goes the normal Halloween survival-horror fare. Stay tuned after all the Halloween candy to hear about a few announcements involving spaceships and dragons, respectively, as well as a little bit ...

Issue 105: Jason Costs a Buck O' Five

October 25, 2012 01:41 - 46 minutes - 42.5 MB

This week on PB & Jason: Borderlands 2 Xbox 360 save disasters! Tune in to find out all the details about how you (or your children) (or your children's children) could lose characters if you play Borderlands 2 online on the Xbox 360! Oh, I've also finally beaten the game, so you can tune in to find my thoughts on what extra features would have really benefited the title this time around. After all the Xbox and Borderlands talk, PB & Jason goes into detail about Wii and Wii U things. Bundles...

Issue 104: Over-Speculating the Price of Gold

October 11, 2012 03:48 - 42 minutes - 39.2 MB

Over the last few years, Microsoft has touted the increasing number of features introduced to Xbox Live Gold. Unfortunately, most of these features come at a price. Literally. Many of the newer Xbox Live Gold features, like Hulu Plus, Verizon FiOS, and Amazon Prime, as well as several older features, require outside subscriptions to other services. At the same time, Microsoft has pointed to the increase in features as a reason to raise the subscription price of Xbox Live Gold from $50 to $60...

Issue 103: Fools' Gold?

September 27, 2012 00:49 - 48 minutes - 44.4 MB

Borderlands 2 season is upon us! But wait! While trying to play online with PixlBit's own Nick and Chessa, we hit a snag! Hear more about the problem in PB & Jason 103! Also in this issue: A massive Mass Effect mistake, a super Super Smash Bros. Melee tournament, Wii U launch pros and cons, and something I'd like to call "A fraction of a quarter of Kingdom Hearts 1.5 and two-thirds." Click through for the download and streaming links!

Issue 102: South of the Borderlands

September 20, 2012 00:42 - 38 minutes - 35.7 MB

This week's PB & Jason is summed up by the abstract above. Hear about the PC version of Borderlands 2! Brave the face of people seriously unhappy over the idea that Bayonnetta 2 will be released only on the Wii U! Learn more about the deals for Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate! Oh, also, if you're willing, keep listening to learn a smidgen about what's going on between Amazon and Nintendo. Those of you who make it all the way to the end of PB & Jason will be able to hear a smidgen more about the se...

Issue 101: Forest of Illusion

September 14, 2012 01:09 - 39 minutes - 36.2 MB

...It's my illusion! But really, this PB & Jason is about the Wii U. There's no two ways about it. If you're just looking for flat-out details on the Wii U, check out PixlBit's news post, but if you want some color commentary on the entire deal, you're looking for this Week's PB & Jason!

Issue 99: PAX & Chris

September 06, 2012 02:31 - 1 hour - 66.9 MB

Join Jason and Chris as they discuss the games and shows at PAX prime. Those of you who listen in can expect Epic Mickey 2 impressions, and quite a bit of hands-on Wii U talk, as well. Listening deeper into the show will provide a bit of a breakdown on the indie titles available to play at PAX. Those curious about the indie title of which Chris could not recall the name should know the game is called "AntiChamber." After the talk about the games on the expo's floor, Chris mentions his experi...

Issue 98: Elusive Albino Controllers

August 30, 2012 03:07 - 42 minutes - 38.5 MB

This week's PB & Jason deals with stores. Online stores specifically. Online stores and odd things with box arts, pricings, and, of course, the white GameCube controller I've recently discovered. Beyond that, there's mention of the upcoming PAX Prime, coming next weekend. PlayStation Vita firmware updates abound, as well. Now you can play PlayStation titles on your PSV! Oh, that's if it's on a specific list of nine games or you have a PlayStation 3 to send over some games. Also, the ability ...

Issue 97: The Amazon Horned Frog Does Not Sell the 3DS XL

August 16, 2012 03:32 - 54 minutes - 49.6 MB

Want to purchase a 3DS XL directly from Amazon? That's not going to happen. Maybe Amazon can fulfill the purchase from another website, but it just isn't the same. What's going on? There are a few rumors, and you'll have to listen to PB & Jason #97 to find out! By listening, you'll also learn about the pre-E3 "Judges Week" all those video game media outlets aren't talking about! Don't forget some impressions of the Sega Vintage Collection: Streets of Rage title I'm currently playing. All thi...

Issue 96: Imagine Wii and U, and U and Wii

August 09, 2012 03:09 - 44 minutes - 40.7 MB

The Wii U box art template has been confirmed by Nintendo and outside sources. Rumors are flying 'round about release dates of games and the console. What does this mean for the prediction made last week about a late September launch of the Wii U? Also inside: A discussion of what's not necessarily right regarding PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale preview coverage, 5th Cell troubles with Hybrid servers, and Dragon Quest IX and X talk! Click through for the show's download and listening lin...

Issue 95: Judgment Day

August 02, 2012 02:34 - 45 minutes - 41.5 MB

Today's PB & Jason is filled with news and opinions. What does the Mandatory Binding Arbitration clause in Steam's Terms of Use mean? Which Square Enix RPG will be available on the Ouya? Where in the world is E3 2013? Spoiler alert: The answer is in the site's recent news. Are buttons a huge barrier to video games? What crazy prediction for the Wii U launch has Jason come up with now? All these answers and more can be found in PB & Jason #95! Click through for the show's download and listeni...

Issue 94: The Konion?

July 26, 2012 03:04 - 34 minutes - 31.3 MB

You've probably already heard the rumor about Final Fantasy Versus XIII's cancellation. You've probably even heard the news about the rumor being false. I've another rumor: A major videogame media outlet has taken my idea about reporting fake video game news! Oh, and they forgot to outright tell people it was fake. Anyway, in this week's PB & Jason, we talk about the Final Fantasy Versus XIII debacle, the Borderlands formula, and we learn of a possible reason why EA's former COO is "Former" ...

Issue 93: The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses

July 19, 2012 02:34 - 39 minutes - 35.9 MB

It shouldn't be very difficult to guess the main subject of today's PB & Jason. I'll give you three hints: There was cosplay, I said the name of this topic in the title of Issue 93, and the beginnings of this event were announced during Nintendo's E3 2011 press conference. Give up? Ok, ok. This issue of PB & Jason is based mostly on the Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses concert! Spoiler alert: It's good. Of course, there's a little bit of other information about things like the sale...

Issue 92: Vidalia Edition

July 12, 2012 02:37 - 31 minutes - 28.6 MB

This week, the news on Jason's radar has been pretty weak. There has been some conversation about a small handful of major topics, but just about everyone has discussed and editorialized said topics to death. The alternative? When there is no news worth talking about, why not create fake news to share? Join Jason as he rambles off several fake headlines. Maybe you'll have a laugh, maybe you'll shed a tear. Maybe you'll make up a few fake stories of your own. Who cares? Whatever you do, be su...

Issue 91: Bang! Boom! Fireworks!

July 05, 2012 03:11 - 39 minutes - 36.4 MB

This week's PB & Jason has a focus on fireworks! Well, maybe not fireworks exactly, but rather the Fourth of July, the USA's Independence Day. Expect to hear of a handful of video games that really get in the July 4th spirit with fireworks and, in the case of Metal Gear Solid 2, convoluted plots! For those of you looking for a little more than holidays, don't worry! I've packed PB & Jason 91 with a lot more, mostly centered around what video games I'd like to see in the future! Spoiler Alert...

Issue 90: Jason & Hobbes

June 28, 2012 01:33 - 44 minutes - 41.2 MB

Tonight: MAME cabinets, Zeboyd RPGs, and Pokémon. For whom is the 3DS XL the right choice? Earlier, I interviewed producers behind the Zelda: Symphony of the Goddess tour.

Issue 89: Where in the World is E3 2013?

June 14, 2012 02:51 - 41 minutes - 38.4 MB

The show dates for E3 2013 have not yet been announced! Neither has the location! Did Carmen Sandiego literally steal next year's show? No? Oh. Well, looking at this year's E3, perhaps that's a bad thing. More on topic, this week's PB & Jason talks about the things that went wrong with E3 2012. As the show exited, most gamers were left with at least mild disappointment at the lack of coverage and announcements. Why? Find out inside! Also featured? Kirby's 20th anniversary collection and a ti...

Issue 88: PB & E3

May 31, 2012 01:07 - 54 minutes - 49.8 MB

That's right, this week's PB & Jason talks about E3. The big event is coming up next week. How will you prepare for all the press conferences, demos, pictures, videos, and interviews? By listening to PB & Jason, of course! Long lines are covered, tiny bit of swag, a question of parties, too. The 90's shows are discussed, as are the later shows and micro-E3s of years gone. Hear the technicalities behind receiving a media badge and attending the show in this very exciting PB & Jason! Oh, right...

Issue 87: Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition '13

May 16, 2012 23:54 - 41 minutes - 38.1 MB

This issue of PB & Jason is about downloadable content. Specifically, Capcom fighting game DLC. If you're not familiar with Capcom and their recent fighting game issues, let me paint the picture: They've conditioned many of their fans to hold out on buying the first edition of a title, since an upgraded version with bug fixes, balance adjustments, and new characters is often on the horizon. More than that, they've locked content on discs behind pay-walls, then reacted with surprise when they...

Issue 86: Tales of Jason r

May 10, 2012 00:30 - 40 minutes - 37.3 MB

This week on PB & Jason: Tales of Graces f and Tales of Symphonia comparisons, the case of Miyamoto vs. the PlayStation Vita, disappointment with the PlayStation Suite program Sony is initiating, Capcom woes, Xbox subscriptions, and more!

Come back next Wednesday for Issue 87! I'm sure it'll be next week's...

Issue 85: PB & Jason All-Stars Battle Royale!

May 03, 2012 00:41 - 36 minutes - 33 MB

The Sony fighter has been announced! Will it live up to its Nintendo counterpart? No one knows! That doesn't stop me from speculating. The important thing isn't whether or not it's a rip-off. What matters is that it's fun to play. Oh, right. I do talk about other things in this PB & Jason, I almost forgot. Remember Issue 84? In that issue, I talked a little bit about the fear of incentivizing game reviews on websites like Amazon.com with DLC. This week, I expand on the idea, presenting a few...

Issue 84: Half-off Mutant Simpsons in the Mushroom Kingdom for Pikmin Review-bought DLC

April 19, 2012 01:58 - 47 minutes - 43.3 MB

This week's PB & Jason covers a lot of ground. It starts with the shock of a popular two-month-old game that can be found at half its original retail price. It ends with a twisted DLC idea that could become the follow-up to retailer-exclusive DLC. In the middle? Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Simpsons, PlayBits, New Super Mario Bros. Mii, Pikmin 3, and Nintendo's approach to DLC with the Wii U. To hear the podcast, you'll have to click through to find the podcast's download links. Of cour...

Issue 83: A Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich is not a Podcast

April 12, 2012 01:33 - 1 year
