Look! In the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's SUCKY SUPERMAN SATURDAY! Brad graces us with his opinions on just about every Superman game to ever release. David shifted gears and plowed through Infamous this week. Could it be that David is finally broadening his horizons and starting to play PS3 games. Let the trophy race begin! (?) News was light but we still manage to squeeze some good discussion out of topics like the newly announced Twisted Metal release date and the potentially short single player campaign in Id's next masterpiece, Rage. Do you like gaming? What are you waiting for! Download this podcast, take off your pants, and relax.

We relax and let it hall hang out this week, or Faith does for that matter. We talk Dragon Age 2, New Vegas DLC, Swarm, Okamiden, and braless cosplayers so prepare yourselves. In a rather nice change of pace, there is a ton of industry news to cover including some fairly high-profile game announcements (Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City anyone?), Kojima's new position as VP, game cancellations, and Platinum Games plan to revive Japanese game development. Our community segment leads to some pretty outrageous discussions and we take a few minutes to answer viewer questions from the forums. Sit back, relax, and prepare to have your brain invaded as we smuggle video game enlightenment into your cranium! [download] Games Played: Nick: Okamiden, Crysis 2 Brad: Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, Project Eden, Trapt Nolan: Dragon Age 2, Fallout New Vegas: Dead Money, Swarm David: Okamiden, Afterburner, Angry Birds News: (Announcements) Xenoblade getting localized in Europe Vanillaware's next game coming to PSP?!

I know it's been awhile but Cocktail Time is back! And what better way for Cocktail Time to be back than for Joseph to be pretty damn drunk AND get the show number wrong at the beginning of the show. Not only that, the entire thing abruptly ends when the Comcast internet goes down! YAY! Other than that Joseph Christ sits down with Carlos and David to talk about all things video games, alcohol and drunken stupidity! [download] Add Cocktail Time on Facebook.

Brad and David have a lunch conversation about Obscure Games, Majora's Mask, Prince of Persia 2008 and Crysis 2. Recorded March 31th, 2011. Dinner Time 063 – Obscure Lunch Conversation - [download]

It's Nintendo 3DS day and we celebrate as we always do by talking about it! Brad raves about his latest under-appreciated gem, Monster Tale, before Nick let's his love for Crysis 2 rain from the heavens. The biggest news this week is that Duke Nukem was delayed so don't expect much on that front. We make up for it with another fun filled community segment and some viewer questions. If you want to see how easily we get side tracked from viewer Q&A, this might be the show for you. 2011 continues to impress so dive back into our glorious, gyrating show. You know... sometimes I wish the ESRB would rate our show and write a description of it for us to release to the public. It would be funny and it would save me the time and effort of having to pull these show descriptions out of my ass every week. Cheers!

It's official. We are gonna burn in hell after this one. We come back to our regularly scheduled podcast; hot off the tails of PAX East 2011. We play catch up by talking about games for a good hour and a half before the conversation spirals out of control and goes full retard. We had to skip viewer questions this week so Carlos can tell his perverse story about how he watched animated hardcore pornography in a room packed full of dudes. It was a fun show (...and possibly very offensive) so join us once again as we take the topic of gaming and cram it into your ear holes.

Welcome to day 1 of 4Player Podcast's coverage of PAX East 2011 in Boston Massachusetts! Brad, Nolan, and Carlos made the journey and have already spent an entire day seeing and playing the games that the public will be playing later this year. Some of these games are games we saw at E3 or PAX Prime but a lot of it is stuff that is being shown for the first time so it's definitely an exciting show. With only 3 people to cover the event, a lot of our initial impressions can be found on these podcast recordings with additional written content to hit the site in the days following. Stay tuned because it is going to be a wild weekend!

Nick and David sit down to talk about Bulletstorm, Homefront, Crysis 2, Dragon Age 2, and Yoostar. Becareful of possible Dragon Age Spoilers. Recorded March 11th, 2011. Dinner Time 061 – Nick Eats a Salad - [download]

We cover the usual Dragon Age talk and David plays every game under the sun this week in his quest to be Cheevo master. Speaking of masters, Brad tells us about his quest to be Pokemon Master! That's a joke; Brad actually rants about the everlasting, unchanging pokemon series. On a more positive note, lesser known quantities like Raiden, Hydrophobia, Yakuza, and the much beloved, Beyond Good & Evil, get some love this week. Savor these last, Dragon Age-less moments while you still can because next week is Dragon Age week and it's all downhill from there... or is it uphill?

It is officially official, Activision is taking over the world. Aside from discussing our usual impressions, we spend an absurd amount of time discussing the bold moves taken by Activision in the previous week. Whether it is contemplating the consumption of Take Two or axing an entire mainstream genre of games, Activision certainly does not screw around when it comes to world domination. On a lighter note, Double Fine is making a Sesame Street game... for the Kinect! Wait... what? It's a strange, somewhat depressing week but we certainly make the best of it as usual so tune in!
