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!
It's time for this week's Constantly Calibrating episode, "Calibrating Xbox Reveal". The runner-up for episode name is of course "Calibrating MocapDog".
The Xbox One was announced today and with it came a lot of press over what Microsoft did, or in this case did not, do right with the system's debut. Some may argue a lack of actual gaming hurt the launch. Others might praise the concept of their new "snap point" system. There's also our own questions of what's the deal with compatibility with Xbox Live Arcade games, or the crummy hard drive space.
There's also the question about why Microsoft hasn't paid us for the brilliant achievement points vs. challenge points vs. title system that needs to be implemented.
Electronic Arts and Star Wars are where it's at with this week's episode of Constantly Calibrating. We take a look at EA's deal to exclusively make new games in the beloved franchise, as well as what this might mean for properties both new and old.
We continue to chat about new things happening in Star Wars: The Old Republic, including plans for the new feline race that was added to the game yesterday. On top of that, Brad's wife chimes in with a pitch for a Star Wars-centric The Sims expansion that sounds positively delightful.
That, plus some discussions of the upcoming Xbox Infinity announcement.
Gaming Goddess Raychul Moore is back this week for her long anticipated second date with the lovely gentleman of Constantly Calibrating. You may remember our interview with her from last year; we had hoped she had forgotten it. This time, things went smoothly as we discussed the missteps of the upcoming next generation consoles, including the already released Wii U.
We delve into the world of cosplay, exploring our thoughts on "Cosplay=/=Consent", a topic at the forefront of nerd/geek consciousness in the ever-growing convention season.
Raychul also gives us, as well as you all, a helpful tip for San Diego Comic-Con and how to properly attend: Don't!
That and a reasonable chance of a lot more on this week's episode of Constantly Calibrating!
Welcome to Episode 48 of Constantly Calibrating, wherein I am not home to make sure this is posting correctly.
Yay!
On this week's episode we conclude or two-part, but not quite two-part focus episode on BioShock Infinite, which happens to begin with a different topic each time. Confusing, I know. What's even more confusing is how poorly my song choice for this week transitions into the episode. Oh well, I'm rushing to get ready for a trip and not thinking all too clearly.
This week is all about Star Wars: The Old Republic and BioShock Infinite. For one, we discuss returning and whether we like what we've found; the other we look deep into our spoilery crystal balls to see what we think of what is arguably the best game of this new year. (Not up for arguement however is the winner of "Best Character of the Year".)
That's this week of Constantly Calibrating, so we hope you enjoy!
This week Constantly Calibrating was split up into two parts, for both convenience and other reasons.
This week's episode takes Steven and Josh on a journey around Disneyland and other similar parks, ending in another world of magic, merriment and make believe: Columbia. Yes, the BioShock Infinite city in the sky gets some gameplay and limited spoiler discussions.
Check back next week when Brad and Josh take a more in-depth look at the world of BioShock Infinite, as well as some chatting about Star Wars The Old Republic.
Episode 46 of ConCal began as a planned tale of the loss of LucasArts, then quickly devolved into what most of our podcasts turn into: Sex and identity fraud. Well, we did discuss LucasArts as well for a whole 25 or so minutes, but the lead up is just all over the map.
There may even be a new contest on the horizon! (There is, but not the one discussed on this episode.)
Happy April Fools Day to you all...yesterday! This is episode 45 of Constantly Calibrating and we are discussing very few things related to gaming this week. Fancy that!
On this week's episode there is a whole lot of April Fools joke discussions, sadly none of which pertained to my idea of cannibalizing our fans into a really tiny zombie mech. (Budget cuts.) We did however discuss some Doctor Who and science-related things.
That and a whole lot less on this week's episode!
A day late and a pickle short.
Or something.
This is episode 44 and we talk about a lot of things this week. Explanations of last week's delay coincide with discussions of Final Fantasy X/X-2 and where a remastering of Final Fantasy VII is. A look at this past weekend's drug-filled extravaganza, The Croods, meets head-on with some Doctor Who news.
That and less, or probably more on this week's episode!

This week's podcast is immensely late, as I'm sure you've all noticed. I'll discuss what's been going on in this Tuesday's episode, #44. Do to major time constraints I'll just be putting the episode up as is without introduction or theme. My apologies for this drop in quality.
Check the link dump for more info on what we talked about this week.
Welcome to part 2 of our one-year anniversary episode of Constantly Calibrating!
On this episode we get Brad committed to joining us for RTX 2013, while he's simultaneously attempting to get me into StarCraft II.
Spoiler: It worked. Brad and I are planning to stream some "Noob vs. Lesser-Noob: The Battle of StarCraft Incompetence Begins!" Friday. We'll have more details here and/or on FB fan page when the plans are set.
Finally, Steven and I have a rapid-fire discussion of Mass Effect 3's final DLC Citadel in honor of our first every episode.
Thank you for a year of awesome memories. Here's to another year!
