Sophist Radio Episode 49: 4th of the Itis

The Sophist gang celebrates America’s Birthday in the best way possible. Harold, James, and Aaron kick things off with a recent hit for Sony’s PS3: inFamous 2. Okay that may not be the most American of platforms, but it was developed by the fine people at Bellevue, Washington-based Sucker Punch studios. Spoilers abound as the crew shares their feelings about everything the inFamous universe has to offer. Shadows of the Damned, a Japanese yet American published title is next up on the Sophist Radio chopping block. The guys then close things out with the most American title in the bunch: LA Noire. Despite being developed by Austria -based Team Bondi, this game has all the things that make America great; sex, violence, and poor driving.

Sophist Radio Episode 48: Mo Jizz Mo Problems

This week the guys merge together and roll out like some sort of video-game-podcasting machine. In keeping with traditional Sophist Radio tropes, the guys kick things off with a discussion of the music career of the band Bush before moving on to the video games they've been playing. It is a nice mix of old and new games this week; or in the case of Duke Nukem Forever a new-old-game? Aaron and Harold share their thoughts on inFamous and inFamous 2, respectively, and James relates his adventures in Crysis 2. The crew then does its best to sum up gaming's SuperBowl: E3.

Sophist Radio Episode 47: Ponycorn Police Force

Taking video game discussion to new heights (and lows) the Sophist Radio guys unite again to chat your head off about video games. This week the guys avoid most of the big console releases to focus in on some lesser known titles: Bart Bonte's 14 Locks, and Cassie Creighton's amazingly adorable adventure Sissy's Magical Ponycorn Adventure. The mainstream titles get some love too, though. Aaron shares his thoughts on Witcher 2, and James dives deep into the Professor Layton canon, exploring the recently released Layton animated movie as well as the last two games. All that and one of the and guys reveals his secret ex-con past.
