Welcome back to the 2-Bit Alcatraz Podcast and this week we go over episode 5 “Guy Hastings”

Welcome back to the 2-Bit Alcatraz Podcast and this week we go over episode 4 “Cal Sweeney”.  Tom and Brian come up with some wacky theories and also some that will blow your mind (we make no guarantees).  Welcome back to the Rock.

We take a look at the third episode of the first season titled “Kit Nelson”.  We also take a closer look at the overarching mythos of the show and start to develop some hair brained ideas.

Tom and Brian go over the new J.J. Abrams show “Alcatraz”.  We jump headfirst into the plot and try to figure out just what is really going on.  In this Episode we cover “The Pilot” and “Ernest Cobb”.

The final episode of 2-Bit podcasters proper.  It was a wild ride that we'll never forget.  Uploaded for the first and final time. Thank you all for listening.

The First of two unpublished episodes.  I hope you enjoy it!

Well here it is episode 60 is finally here and sadly has been ready for about 3 weeks, but because Tom and Brian have kids and work it’s hard to get these out.  Aside from that we got more game reviews and Brian rants about the Hobbit for far too long.

In this episode we play catchup.  Tom comes back to California but not close enough to hang with Brian, he also meets a huge nerd.  Lots of TV, Movies and Videogames talk.  Plus Resident Evil 6!

The boys return for another episode after a 2 month break, which was totally unintentional.  We talk about life, games and comics, so it’s back to business as usual.

Tom and Brian go over the highlights of E3 2012.  ’Nuff said.

Brian has returned from Brazil and is back for more podcasting action.  Tom tells tales of all his time all alone without Brian (mostly watching movies, TV and playing games).  With the Avengers movie out we go in depth as we geek out on one of the best comic movies of all time.

We have a very special episode this week as we welcome our 2bit brethren, Matt and Jake Lewandowski, Team Fist Puncher a.k.a. Team2bit! We talk about the life of an Indy game developer and their Kickstarter for their 8bit side scrolling beat ‘em up Fist Puncher.

The long awaited spoilercast is here (sorry we’ve been sitting on this due to our busy lives) and we leave no stone unturned in Mass Effect 3.  Tom and Brian go over the highs and lows of this final game in the trilogy. Update:  BioWare has announced free DLC that will expand on the ending

This is it!  The ultimate review of Skyrim.  Tom and Brian flesh out the written review as much as they can by talking about all the highs and lows that they went through.  Does the game measure up to the hype?  All is revealed in episode 52. Plus some crap about Final Fantasy XIII-2

Tom and Brian come back to give their videogame predictions of 2012.  Tom’s stays sane but Brian goes off the deep end predicting what could be the future to an alternate universe.

Well, another year and another crap load of games.  Tom and Brian partake on a 3 hour journey into their favorite (and not so favorite) games of 2011.

Tom and Brian are back with some deep talk about Assassin’s Creed Revelations and on a whole the entire series so far.  We also talk about Christmas gifts and the grinch that stole Tom’s PS3.  Happy New Year.  

Tom and Brian get back together to talk about all the plot points of Uncharted 3.  It goes without saying that if you have not played the game yet don’t listen to the back end of this episode since it will be full of spoilers.  We also get into the VGA’s and most importantly what new games are coming.

Tom and Brian dedicate an entire episode to the games we are looking forward to in 2012.  ’Nuff said!

The boys are back and well fed after Thanksgiving.  Tom tells us that he is the king of feasts and also king of the games.  We deal with the uncertainty that is “The Last Guardian”, Xbox sales soar and the PS Vita is set to play PS3 games.  Plus we review Assassins’s Creed Revelations.

Tom and Brian are back after 3 months of hiding, and Brian has been blessed with a big baby boy.  But the kids haven’t stopped us from playing games and reading comics.  In this epic update we talk about Dark Souls, Captain America, Uncharted 3 and Batman Arkham City.  Plus some DC’s 52 comic talk.

What? 2 Episodes in one week?!?  That’s right Tom and Brian go all out (before Brian’s kids born) to bring you a second episode this week.  We talk about the PS Vita, the PS3 price drop, Microsofts no sloppy seconds rule, Avengers cartoon, Avengers movie, Disney’s expo and more.

Tom and Brian discuss the merits of remaking and re-releasing games.   We also talk about the Avengers cartoon, 13 Assassins, Catherine, Bastion, Beyond Good and Evil HD, Ghostbusters and more.  Tom also rants about phone updates and Motorola.  He just can’t seem to get anything that doesn’t break on him.

Welcome back everybody!  Tom and Brian reunite to talk about life, living and gaming.   With lots to catch up on we forgo the main topic and talk at length about Tom’s big trip to China.  We also get into the movies that we saw: Green Lantern, Thor, Super 8, Transformers 3, Captain America.

We’re back at last and boy has it been a busy month.  DC comics has announced that they are going for Tom’s big dream: Day and Date digital comics!  DC is also going to restart all of their superhero books at number 1?!?  Is it madness or genius or maybe no one cares?

In this return to glory, Tom and Brian talk about Toys.  Brian announces his entry into the world of fatherhood while Tom regales a tale of how a simple toy run puts him and his kid in a bad spot.  We also talk about GoW collection, Enslaved, Vanquished and of course the PSN outage

We have finally arrived, the finale of season one is here.  Tom and Brian take a look at what the whole of season one had to offer in relation to the series as a whole.  We also ponder how many of the questions from season one got answered by the end of the show.

We apologize for the month long delay but we are back in business! In this episode we are treated to the THIRD and final Kate flashback.  This time we get treated in meeting her soul mate that from so long ago.  Back on island Jack, Sayid and Locke ponder what to do with the Hatch.

In the second Sayid centric episode Tom and Brian think about the how far a man will go for some chick.  Sayid breaks the golden rule of “Bros before Hos” and goes on a trip to check out the plane with Locke on Island.  We also think about how much of a B.A. Sayid is

In this Jack centric episode Tom and Brian are once again memorized by Jack’s crying abilities.  Boone is on deaths bed while his sister plays hide the missile with Sayid.   We once again see ties with the end of the show with Jack’s inability to let go.

We return to the backstory of Locke and boy is it tragic.  Boone meets his maker at the front end of an airplane, Locke can’t walk, the hatch lightens up and the mysteries of Sawyer’s STD’s are solved…. well he just needs glasses.  This and more in the game changing episode of Lost.

In this, the first Hurley centric episode, Tom and Brian get into one of the most controversial myths in Lost history: The Numbers.  Also more light is shed on Hurley and his past, winning the lottery and having a streak of bad luck.  

We’re back and are ready to talk games.  Tom has been adjusting to life with a child but that hasn’t stopped him from playing games.  We go over Mass Effect 2 on the PS3, Bioshock, Dark Souls, and tease our upcoming Dead Space 2 special.

Tom and Brian go over the other side of the story with In Translation the first Jin centric episode.  Just how did Jin turn out so mean and pissed off?  Well all is revealed here.  Also the Jin beat-down continues as the whole group of survivors want to kill him thinking he burned down the raft.

Sawyer stars as the focus of this episode titled “Outlaws” where he’s harassed by a boar, seemingly possessed by the soul of a man he killed.  Kate and Sawyer play a drinking game while Charlie deals with some Post traumatic stress disorder.  We also get one of the best Lost connection in the history of the show.

Tom and Brian delve once again into the past of Charlie Pace and his drug addiction.  The action ramps up as Ethan Rom comes back for Claire bringing about one of the best showdowns Lost had to offer.  We also get to see more of the abuse that Jin goes through on the island

We’re back from the holiday break and in honor of Tom becoming a daddy we review a sweet tale of Father in Son Lost style: “Special”.   Looking back we find that Michael was really screwed over by his lady, and that most of his lines consist of him yelling “WALT”!

So here it is our epic year end special.  This episode Tom and Brian go over their Christmas gifts, look back on the games of 2010, look forward to 2011 and award our games of the year! Top 10 Most Anticipated Games of 2011 Honorable Mentions FF vs XIII – No Release Date Last Guardian (holy crap the last guardian!)

Tom and Bring talk about one of the less liked entries in season one, the Boone flashback episode.  To our surprise it ends up bringing a lot of interesting elements to the table, mostly to do with Locke and his strange behavior.  Brother and sister love hasn’t been this controversial since Donny and Marie.

Another Infamous Kate centric episode is quickly reviewed by Tom and Brian.  Again Kate shows why she could have had an interesting story until the ultimate payoff left much to be desired.  There are some tidbits of intrigue such as the French woman’s map and the second island, the guns, and a budding relationship between

In the second Jack centric episode Tom and Brian believe that boys do cry.  Jack plays snitch on his dear old daddy and is haunted with the guilt of his fathers death.  Coincidentally on island Jack is plagued with guilt of Claire’s kidnapping, after ignoring her claims of being attacked in the caves.

In the first Claire centric episode Tom and Brian are once again joined by StarJoes co-host Ryan.  We delve into the psychic that sent Claire to the island and wonder how psychic he really is.  The first Other shows himself and decides to take Claire and Charlie on a island tour.

Tom and Brian explore that wacky Iraqi torturer Sayid as he goes off on his own to explore the island.  New Theories are created in the biggest mythological episode so far introduces the French woman, the whispers, the others, the cable in the ocean and the sickness.

In this Sawyer centric episode Tom and Brian are once again joined by John “Super Ugly” Williams.  We search deep into the demon’s that Sawyer is carrying and see that he’s just one scared little boy.  Plus Shannon has an attack, Charlie licks his nasty fingers, Jin suspects the Sun might be getting too close to Michael.

In this Charlie centric episode Tom and Brian are joined by long-time listener and fellow podcaster Ryan (StarJoes).  We look deep into the addiction that defined a character and lament his loss at the end of season three.  Not much in the way of mythology but there are great character moments for a fan favorite.
