Stay ConnectedConstantly Calibrating is a weekly topical podcast that focuses on the wide world of nerd/geek culture; Delving into both recent news stories, as well as discussions, debates and interviews related to what’s happening in our assorted fields (Gaming/Tech/Life).
A little bit of things, a fair amount of words, and a whole lot of stuff!
For episode 71 of Constantly Calibrating, we decided it would be a good idea to just go completely off the rails again. Well, it wasn't so much a decision as an eventuality.
This week we touch on some thoughts on Batman: Arkham Origins, take a look at the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Trailer, and say goodbye to our favorite 4th grade teacher.
There's nothing wrong with posting half an episode a day late, right? Well, I sure hope not, because that's what's happening with our 70th episode. Also on this episode: Pokemon! That's right, due to a technical error, we lost all of the non-Pokemon discussion from this week's episode. There's nothing wrong with discussing said Pokemon stuff, so I hope you all enjoy it!
This week on Constantly Calibrating, we brought in special guest Ryan Firster to join us on the show. Make sure to check the "Tingle Pot" for a link to one of Ryan's recent sets.
The topics this week include Pokemon X & Y, the announcement of Kingdom Hearts 2.5 HD ReMIX, my 10-year high school reunion and its significance to ConCal, and some thoughts on the launch of our own YouTube gaming channel!
The description may be short and quasi-bland, but the episode certainly is not! Give it a listen and make sure to comment and subscribe!
Episode 68 of Constantly Calibrating brings us a completely out of context opening story out of Grand Theft Auto Online, book-ended with an announcement related to GTA Online — stick around til the end for that one!
In addition we bring you thoughts on the World of Warcraft film, which just had a release date announced. Where do we hope and expect the story to take us? Can a WoW film even be done in a way that is remotely satisfactory?
Our final topic of the cast relates to SimCity, ever the focus of anger in the land of ConCal. What has Electronic Arts done this time to earn our ire? Find out by listening below!
We preempt this podcast description to let you know that the host of Constantly Calibrating, who is currently writing this post, is currently on a great deal of cold medicine. This may affect the logical progression of how an introductiory post to a podcast should flow.
This week's Constantly Calibrating features some Grand Theft Auto Online expectations, as well as an announcement from ConCal related to the game. We also have some thoughts on SteamOS, Steam Machines, and the Steam Controller. There may also be additional thoughts on this year's closure of LucasArts, so make sure to listen for that!
The big one has released! That's right, Grand Theft Auto V has been unleashed upon the masses and it is good. How good you may be asking -- assuming you're not playing it that is. Well, first off you should check out my review, but then you can go and listen to this podcast for three viewpoints on all the cool and random stuff we've seen.
Before we get to GTA V however, we do have some news related to Valve's SteamOS...and news related to GTA Online. Yes, it's a GTA heavy episode, which you should accept seeing as the game has been out for only a week now.
Now THIS is a podcast!
Though seriously, WTFAYNPGTAV people?! Anyways, we do appreciate you taking the time to listen, as this is arguably the best podcast we have put out to date. Justin joins Brad and I to discuss topics ranging from our Current Affairs, World of Warcraft and Brad's thoughts on improving the game, my own thoughts on the GODUS beta, Doctor Who news, and assorted stories from all of us.
Seriously, if you listen to one episode of ConCal, this is the one! Then keep listening after that, dammit!
This week Brad and I had the distinct pleasure of chatting with Matthew Allen, the Community Manager for 22Cans, Community Manager for The Dead Hamster, and Community Contact for Lionhead Studios. For the last couple of months Brad and I have discussed the importance of what goes into making a successful game; the topic almost always falling back to how a company embraces the community. After months of discussing this, it seemed time to bring someone on to explain to us what goes into the process, and how he found himself in that career.
It's not all community relations topics though, as we pick Matthew's brain about his thoughts on companies like 22Cans and Lionhead Studios, as well as what he thinks is going on with both current and next-gen gaming.
It's a long one (so to speak), so strap yourself in (seriously, so to speak) and get ready to listen to some fun conversations on gaming.
On this week's episode of Constantly Calibrating, Brad and Josh take you down the rabbit hole of gaming news in a jumbo-ultra-mega-sized edition of Constantly Calibrating. In actuality it's only an additional 30 minutes, but how often does one get to use jumbo-ultra-mega-sized in polite conversation?
This week we discuss the 2DS, Wii U Price Drop, the concept of subscription models, and Xbox One news. Also, there is super excitement about Dragon Age Keep, as it answers a question Josh had asked early in the summer. Finally, there are tales a plenty as Josh regales Brad (and you) with experiences at the GameStop EXPO last week. Find out his thoughts on the Xbox One, PS4, and more in this week's episode!
This past weekend the world was torn asunder when the most devastating news imaginable was unleashed upon them: Ben Affleck will be playing Bruce Wayne...Batman! Nations crumbled upon the weight of this most heinous act, but alas there is a bright spot as we, your favorite podcast hosts, discuss our thoughts on Ben Affleck as Batman, and what the future of the DC Cinematic Universe might hold.
Stick around as well for thoughts on Saints Row 4, Diablo 3's recently announced expansion, Grand Theft Auto Online's character creator, and more!
