Error Machine Podcast

Greetings everyone! This week the whole gang comes together to discuss, among other things, the ice bucket challenge, getting down with the sickness, some brief SummerSlam talk, and then we get into our games of the week. Games of the Week: Dustin - Mario Golf: World Tour Chris - Battle Block Theatre Heather - Beautiful Katamari Luke - Phantom Breaker Battlegrounds We then discuss a few new releases, and few news stories, and then get right into our topic this week. Here we discuss the bad apples of great franchises. Can these games be so bad that they ruin the series? Some of the games talked about are Resident Evil 6, Final Fantasy X-2, Sonic 06, Chrono Cross, and so on. Follow us on Twitter @TheDustinThomas @HeathaSonYo @FakeChrisCramer @BygJuce

It's just Luke and Dustin bringing you the Error Machine goodness this week, and it's another episode without a real topic. The boys talk about games like Comix Zone, Rogue Legacy, Fez, etc, as well as talking at great length about the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film and the new Hercules starring The Rock. They also discuss a few news stories, like the rumor of a possible Resident Evil television series, and the tragic passing of Robin Williams, before going into some listener questions from Error Machine Podcast #1 fan, Dylan Knight.

Part 2 of a 3 part series, this week the guys (and gal) return to discuss Nickelodeon cartoons, better known to you and I as NickToons. They talk about all the classics: Doug, Rugrats, Rocko's Modern Life, Ka-Blam, Ren and Stimpy, and more. Follow the gang on Twitter @TheDustinThomas @BygJuce @HeathaSonYo @FakeChrisCramer

Guys, this is a monumental episode for the Error Machine Podcast. Dustin and Luke were finally able to convince Chris to start a Twitter account! Anyway, this week is topic-less and question-less, so they spend entirely too much time talking about stuff like Birdemic: Shock and Terror, mixing Coke and coke, and Dustin finished Super Mario RPG. They cover the new releases, or lack thereof, and go over a bit of news, including GameStop's new trade prices, GameStop fingerprinting customers, the Resident Evil Remake Remaster, and more. Games of the Week: Chris - Staying awake to take care of a child. Dustin - Kirby Triple Deluxe Luke - Rogue Legacy Follow us on Twitter!

Dustin, Heather, and Luke gather together this week to discuss a hotbed of topics. In addition to the regular videogame topics, they tackle things like the Batman v Superman teaser trailer, the forthcoming Simpsons/Family Guy crossover episode, birthdays, and infirmities. Games of the Week Luke: Symphony of the Night Dustin: Mario Golf/World Tour and Super Mario RPG Heather: Battleblock Theatre This week's topic discussion is games that we return to over and over again, and why we do so. Enjoy!

Heather Thomas guest stars again this week as they begin a three week series about the cherished childhood television network, Nickelodeon. This week the guys (and gal) discuss Nickelodeon Game Shows. You know, Double Dare, GUTS, Figure It Out, Legends of the Hidden Temple, as well as discussing some of the weird prizes that would be given away on the shows.

The gang is all here! That's right, Chris has returned from giving birth! No topic discussion this week, as all three...scratch that...all FOUR of them have many stories to tell from the past couple of weeks. Naturally, we get into some baby discussion, our favorite Weird Al songs, Dustin discusses his trip to Jamaica and how many times he was asked if he was a terrorist, Luke is really upset about the new female Thor, and we have a special guest for this week's episodes. There's also a very lengthy discussion and SPOILERS on The Last of Us. Games of the Week: Dustin: Rayman Legends Chris: NES Remix Luke: The Last of Us

Chris can't make it again this week, but for good reason...he and his lovely wife finally had their baby (don't be fooled, Alex did most of the work)! Things will be much different for Christopher Craig Cramer in the coming years, so Luke and Dustin took it upon themselves to discuss the differences they've noticed in their gaming habits from childhood into adulthood. They talk about things like, duh, gaming with children, finding time to game while having adult responsibilities like going to work and having money but no time, and vice versa.

For the second week in a row, Chris is unable to join the gang (who does he think he is? An expecting father?). So it's up to Luke and Dustin to bring you your weekly allotted allowance of awesome gaming discussion. The Game of the Week for both men is Shovel Knight, and they discuss it at great length, needless to say, they both adore it. And since Shovel Knight is a downloadable title, this week's topic discussion is a top 5 list from both men on their favorite downloadable titles. They also cover new releases, the Summer Games Done Quick event, how stupid the new EA-themed PS4 looks, John Cena being on the cover of WWE 2K15, summer camps, minor league baseball, and Jamaica. They also throw in a little bit of 80s action movie quotes.

Episode 18, guys. We're legal! Well, pretty much. Anyway, this week there's no Chris because he may be popping out a baby soon, so Luke and Dustin decided to talk about such illuminating topics as debt collectors and Girl Scout meetings before talking about games. Games of the Week Dustin - Grand Theft Auto V Luke - The Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures They also discuss notable new releases (or lack thereof), some news, and then come back from the break to talk about the recent events going on at Capcom and talk about their favorite Capcom games and series before getting into questions, including one about time travel.

E3 happened, guys. So what better way to get your news pertaining to the biggest gaming show of the year than by listening to three guys that weren't even there? Answer, there isn't a better way, so you need to listen. Hear Dustin froth at the mouth for Yoshi's Wooly World, Chris jump for joy for Splatoon, and Luke's indifference for anything that didn't have the word 'Nintendo' attached to it. Also, hear about Luke's adventures at Best Buy's Super Smash Bros. event, Chris' foul mouth, and Dustin working at a daycare. Serious gaming journalism! Games of the Week: Dustin - Kirby's Return to Dream Land Chris - Mario Kart 8 Luke - Something with the word "Rainbow" in the title that I'm too lazy to go back and look at the title of.

This very well may be the episode where the guys had the most fun, and it's obvious. Dustin brought his entire collection of Goosebumps over and the boys basically spend a half hour just looking at the covers and reminiscing. Hopefully you guys have as much fun listening to this episode as they did recording it.

The boys finally reunite on this latest episode. In honor of it being episode 16, and with the recent release of Mario Kart 8, they take it upon themselves to discuss their favorite racing/car combat games. Games of the Week: Luke: El Shaddai Dustin: Super Mario RPG Chris: Jurassic Park The Game

Unable to find a time for all three guys to podcast, this week it's just Luke and Dustin, and instead of finding a certain topic, they decide instead to just talk about all the games they've played in the last couple weeks, including (but not limited to): Shadows of the Damned, Back to the Future the Game, Lollipop Chainsaw, Max Payne 3, Killer is Dead, Wario Land 4, Tokyo Jungle, and more! They also spend a few minutes talking about the Mortal Kombat X trailer, and they get a special guest appearance by Error Machine Podcast #1 fan, Dylan Knight.

On this mini-sode, it's Luke that's MIA, so Chris and Dustin take it upon themselves to talk about their adventures game shopping at the local flea markets. They discuss some of the finds, and basically just talk about the whole flea market culture as a whole. Follow us: @Error_Machine @TheDustinThomas @BygJuce

Chris is back fresh off from his stint on the disabled list due to butthole surgery! In case you didn't hear, Watch_Dogs will have approximately 7,000 different pre order bonuses at different retailers, so this week the boys talk about some of their favorite pre order bonuses and special editions that they've encountered over the years. Games of the Week: Dustin - Cave Story 3D Chris - God of War Ascension Luke - Gravity Rush Music this week comes from Contra.

Sorry about the hiatus folks! We had some technical difficulties last week, but Luke and Dustin are back. That's right, no Christopher this week, unfortunately. On this latest mini-sode, Luke and Dustin discuss a game Luke has played several times, and one that Dustin just recently played for the first time: Super Metroid. Did it live up to the hype that Dustin has heard about for years? Or was it a letdown? Only one way to find out. Enjoy!

We decided to start a second show, the ErMac Mini-Sodes. These episodes are meant to be supplemental to our main podcasts, in hopes that the shorter episodes will attract more listeners. These episodes will typically be between 20 and 30 minutes, and we will generally speak about one topic, and Luke will be hosting (because he's smart).We start this new venture talking about the recent story that the writer of Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City announced that the main protagonist is homosexual, so we decided to talk about how homosexual characters have been portrayed before, and how they should be portrayed in the future.We also play a game, and Luke is a jerk.

In case you didn't hear, a team has unearthed the fabled Atari E.T. cartridges that were rumored to be in the New Mexico desert, so we figured what better way to celebrate than by talking about some of gaming's greatest myths and legends. Some of the myths discussed are being able to jump over the flag pole in Super Mario Bros., The Madden Curse, rumored Mortal Kombat characters, Polybius, and more.Game of the Week discussions:Chris - Deadlight/LEGO Star Wars the Complete SagaLuke - Hard Corps UprisingDustin - Castle of Illusion starring Mickey MouseFollow us!@Error_Machine@TheDustinThomas@BygJuce

Behold, our first venture into the world of Skype recording! In case you didn't notice, PlayStation Plus had a ridiculous sale this Easter weekend, and a couple of the guys indulged in said sale. We thought this would be a great opportunity to compare and contrast the downloadable services of Playstation, Xbox, and the Nintendo consoles.Games of the Week:Luke: StriderDustin: Ratchet and Clank: Into the NexusChris: Call of Duty: Ghosts and DeadlightWe also cover the great things the Able Gamers charity did at PAX East and the 25th birthday of the GameBoy.Follow us on Twitter!!!@Error_Machine@TheDustinThomas@BygJuceYou can also send questions for future episodes to ermacpodcast@gmail.comAnd don't forget to rate and subscribe on iTunes.
