Lautering Bytes Podcast

We're back... and we're still gaming! We've been playing The Walking Dead, Hitman: Absolution, Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, Far Cry 3, and more. We also chat about the death of THQ and corn chowder.

It's been a while! In episode 35 we celebrate our Australian listeners and dedicate this episode to them. Sure, we talk about some Aussie wine, but we also talk about Assassin's Creed 3, Comic Con, Okami HD, Quantum Conundrum, and PlayStation All-Stars. Also, we have wonderful prizes to give out this episode.

Rando is back from E3 and tells us what he saw. There are too many games to mention (Neverwinter, Assassins Creed III, Far Cry 3, Star Wars 1313, Rayman Legends...), but we also chat about smaller indie games you might not have heard of yet. We also give you the story behind a good bottle of Chardonnay.

Rando is still away, so the remaining crew calmly talk about Sniper Elite V2, Max Payne 3, Diablo III, and MineCraft on Xbox 360. Don't worry, we talk about strawberries too! Everybody loves strawberries... right? RIGHT!?

It's our one year anniversary, but we're still the same group of misfits. In this one you'll hear about roasted pork loins, E3 2012 predictions, and games like Black Ops 2, The Last of Us, Bioshock Infinite, Halo 4, and The Witcher 2, amongst other things.

We talk a little bit about PAX, but not much, because we were at home playing Fez and chasing psychedelic desert toads. In between a little bit of Rum talk, Chris gives us the lowdown on Kid Icarus: Uprising. We also talk about 0x10c and the new Zelda.

The crew talks about Journey, Mass Effect 3, Silent Hill: Downpour, Unit 13, and other wonderful titles. Chris tells you how to make some killer chicken wings. Rando discusses Riesling white wine and makes dead sommeliers turn over in their graves.

Special guest Sudeep gives a stint about kitchen cutlery, but we mostly talk about tequila (again) along with Postal 3, Rayman Origins, Uncharted, and our predictions for 2012 (like how BioShock Infinite might turn out). Enjoy!

This is a small collection of holiday cheer left on our voicemail. Rando and Chris call in full of holiday spirit (and alcohol), Brian reminds us to check out Stranger's Wrath on PSN, and Matt tell us what Santa brought him!

Rando admits he's been playing Portal 2 and expresses his love for Driver: San Francisco. We also present to you a beginners' guide to grilling. Oh yeah, there's also a lot of Dead Island bashing, but also a little bit of love.

SNES turned 20, From Dust has DRM issues, Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception has a killer collectors' edition, and more, so we toast our grilled cheeses to new gaming news. Rando and Chris talk about hard times of the past and how to survive college...

Lautering Bytes chats all things cyber punk, but mostly just about Deus Ex. Rando makes a reference to Snatcher but nobody knows what it is. They put on their duster trench coats and walk the smoggy streets while talking about noodles and sake.

Brian sits Matt and El Queso down for an introductory lesson on wine. Matt gets drunk during the wine tasting portion of the lesson and becomes convinced Brian has augmented sunglasses like the ones in Deus Ex: Human Evolution.
