The Combobulater Podcast
The Combobulater is a podcast hosted by Emeny and Burnsy, a couple of guys that work in the gaming industry and wanted to share their points of view with the world. Join them as they discuss the games they play, the films they watch and give thoughts on the gaming world’s news.

Hey Everyone and welcome to Episode 16!

Surprisingly a week early!! :-O

This week Burnsy is back and joins Rev 12 as we discuss the games we've playing this week, and hey it's not all about warcraft!! Well, a lot of it is...but not all of it :-D

We then go on to preview Pan's labyrinth and discuss the value of foreign films and the best ones to look out for.

We then move onto videogames and go over Micro-transactions again with Burnsy bringing his point of view to the show. We also cover Sony's announcement about pre-ordering the PS3 console and discuss EA's predictions on stock shortages.

As always you can contact the show at our email address combobulater@hotmail.co.uk and sign up to our forums at www.combobulater.co.uk

Cheers,

Rev 12.

Welcome to episode 15 that sees Rev 12 hosting this one along!

Join me as I preview the film 'Departed' and then ramble on into a rant about Sony and the recent closure of Lik Sang.

What is the games industry turning into? It's almost as if the whole thing is going to implode in a splurge of stupidity!

I wrap up the show with some sad news....

Check out our forum at www.combobulater.co.uk and get yourself on the show. We want to know your thoughts on 'micro-transactions' and the effects publishers are having by steering the games industry this way.

Cheers,

Rev 12.

So with 2 weeks since our last episode you'd think we would hit you this week with an awesome show, well prepared notes and a finely crafted piece of work...

Well, not quite. In fact...we had no notes!

So join us for a 'live' experience as Rev 12 and Burnsy pull up some news on a new film announced called '300' and the usual discussion spinning off on various tangents.

We have a new tongue in cheek segment called 'Mystery's Rants' which you can enjoy about half way through, as well as a glimpse at an advert Rev and Burnsy have put together.

We wrap up the show with our usual delve into the videogame headlines, more face slapping announcements from Sony and some traumatic news for fans of the spiky blue hedgehog as he approaches his 15th Birthday!

To close the show we have a 'Mario: Underground remix' put together by the musical maestro that is Koch (the genius behind our countdown intro) which is truly rocking!

Enjoy the show guys and check back with us soon.

Rev 12.

Welcome everyone to episode 12, hosted by a rather run down Rev 12 this week...

A bit of an odd episode I guess, I just can't muster up much of anything positive to say...despite all my best efforts!

So join me as I ramble on about this year's Christmas movie prview, 'Eragon' due out December 15th.

Then I chat about Sony's recent blunders (again!), Microsoft's announcement to release a budget range of 360 games and finally a discussion on games as a 'branch of culture'.

Check out the forums at www.combobulater.co.uk and send us your movie reviews to combobulater@hotmail.co.uk

Cheers,

Rev 12.

Welcome back to another episode of The Combobulater!

This is episode 2 and we've made a heckuva improvement over our first outing. The audio quality is good, the show notes were prepped and the content was settled!

So join us as we preview a couple of films set to battle it out for this Summer's biggest blockbuster.

To wrap the show up we announce some news about Guild Wars and in the wake of a THQ announcement we discuss how Blizzard's dominance of the MMO market affects the gaming industry as a whole.

**Bugs! - Ok, well my editing skills are far from l33t so it appears that some bugs crept into this show despite my best efforts!

Throughout the show you can hear Rev's voice echo through Burnsy's speakers and at the end of the show we end up lagging and overlapping slightly!

Not too bad, I blame the gremlins...now where did I leave my combobulater ray?..

Welcome to The Combobulater!

This is our debut episode that may be subject to some reopey audio quality! Bear with us though as we get to grips with editing and putting together a show!!

This first episode touchs on a quite popular tournament that is taking place at the moment before we move onto the main subject of this week's show.

We ask, how does World of Warcraft appeal to new gamers today? Over a year since it's release in Europe WoW is still hugely popular and draws in thousands of new players every month. We discuss what new players might be thinking when they sign up, is WoW too big for it's own good and does its popularity have an affect on whether or not you choose to play.

To close the show we reveal news that the PS3 might be 'nerfed!' and sign off with a nod to The Golden Joysticks awards.

Be sure to tune in next week as we discuss videogames, movies and more and my editing skills improve :-)

Keep combobulating!!
