Deviant Robot Transmission

We're back! Sorry it's been so long, we've missed you. But here we have a bumper gamescast episode all about remakes, which seem to be cropping up quite a lot recently. So join Robin, Will, Ian and Bill for the usual nonsense about games.

WE are back after and accidental absence. And although we suffered a mic failure mid episode Will, Robin, Jimmy and Dom pushed on through and had a good chat about Civil War, Star Wars, Dark Souls and Space amongst other awesome topics.

It’s not that we feel guilty about the Guilty Pleasures we talk about this week - it’s that other people would want us too. We refuse.

We go in depth into Batman v Superman this week, and in retrospect, we're maybe a little mean to it. Not like it doesn't deserve it, though.

This week Will, Jimmy, Hannah and Roboin get stuck in on Dare Devil 2, Superman Vs Batman, 'The Etymologicon' by Mark Forsyth and Walker Stalker a self proclaimed Zombie, Horror & Sci-Fi Fan Convention. We also lost a mic half way through the show so sorry if there is a drop in quality.

This week Will, jimmy and Robin... well to be honest things go off the rails rather quickly. We are however very hear to hear your ideas for what a "Lucky Tailor" means. Don't forget bonus points for a "Hairy Goose". Enjoy.

We do talking animals this episode, featuring Blacksad, Autumnlands, Usagi Yojimbo, and my new favourite - Mouse Guard! In the news section, we get into the latest Civil War trailer.

Dave, Andrea, three Robin's and Will bring things back to the studio and Dave demonstrates deep Hulk Hogan knowledge.

Welcome back to the GamesCast! This week we are discussing the encroaching trend of games being an always online service, rather than a discreet standalone product. How is this changing the playing field? We also have a chat about The Division, Factorio and Software Inc.

Disclaimer: This podcast was recorded on the back of illness and two horrible hangovers. As a result it should not be listened to by anyone. Ok so now that is out of the way, it's a bit late this one so some of the Meetup details are a little out of date. However we do manage to spill the beans on the team excursion the Go Karting track, Ian's impressions of the Limitless TV show, the demise of Lionhead Studios and some nonsense about Amazon drones roaming free in the wilderness...tune in if you're brave enough.

In a slightly more serious episode (or, let's face it, as serious as we can be reasonably expected to be), we look at the various ways mental health has been examined in comics - which takes us to webcomics, Sex Criminals, Lost at Sea, Deadly Class, X-Men, Psychiatric Tales, and all other kinds of weird and wonderful places. That is, before we get angry about Iron Fist. I mean, goddamnit, Marvel, I expected more from you.

Virtually a podcast, virtually recorded with limited virtuosity. But nevertheless we hit some interesting science topics today and Will praises the wonderful SUPER HOT. Also the introduction of our lovely guest Theesen Gounden to the show.

Our topic for Episode 4 of the Gamescast is all about the demise of the demo. What happened to the good old days of tearing a demo disk of the front cover of your favourite games magazine? Have demos evolved into something else? Have a listen then tell us your thoughts on the Deviant Robot forums.

We dive deep into Deadpool this week. Like, deeper than we've gone before. That's not dirty, I swear. We talk about the new movie - we announce when we're about to delve into spoilers, so no need to worry about that - and surprising no one, we have pretty varied opinions on it. We then go back to some of the comics history and try to pin down what, at least for us, is appealing about the Merc with the Mouth.

A remote podcast this week as we're all too lazy (or outright unwilling) to travel to Welwyn Garden City. But we're joined by Seb and Laura this week for chats about Fabulous Beasts, Tom Clancys The Division and the usual nonsense. Includes the fabulous background soundtrack 'Seb's flat mate doing washing up'. How can you miss it!

In this ComicsCast we provide counter-programming to a popular corporate holiday coming up this weekend to talk about FRIENDSHIP! In a somewhat ramble conversation, we get into some of our favourite friendships in comics - some aspirational, some tense and destructive ones, and some that are just adorbs. These include Teen Titans, Lumberjanes, Harley Quinn+Poison Ivy, This One Summer, John Constantine+Chas, Blue Beetle+Booster Gold, Matt Murdock+Foggy Nelson, Daredevil+Spider-Man, Young Avengers, and Preacher.

This week it's just Robin and Will sadly due to an unavoidable train cancellation and a totally avoidable but not avoided hangover. However undeterred Will and Robin and chat about 'Two Rooms and a Boom', doomsday, nuclear reactors, X-Com 2, external GPUs, Twitter and Facebook, South Park, Moon and a bunch of other random things. Also Will would like to very much apologise for the burp incident that occurred and would like to assure you that it was in no way caused by Robins super power.

This week we fail to do a video cast; Jimmy Lucktaylor steps up and is awesome and The Dom returns. .... also Robin and Will are there and there is the usual nonsense.

It's the 1st Annual Deviant Robot ComicsCast awards! It is, after all, awards season.
