Podcast appearances and mentions of cooper hawkes

Well, 10 years ago, when Edie sat down with Cooper Hawkes to record GameHounds Episode 1, there wasn't even a bare thought that a decase later, she'd be sitting down to do Episode 442. There's not much fanfare for hitting 10 years; that's how you make it to 10 years — you just put your head down and deliver news, reviews, and commentary. So it's a regular show, because 20 years is just around the corner, right?

You never know who you might meet at PAX, and we ran across a familiar voice to the GameHounds community. Edie and former co-host Cooper Hawkes chat about what they've played, what they love and hate, and controversial topics that exact the expected obscenity-laced reaction from this past-king of potty mouths.

by gamehounds@gmail.com (Cooper Hawkes and Edie Sellers)We are delusional, and don't a single one of you point it out to us! This week, Holy Goalie and Edie Sellers are joined by a very, very sane Tony of The Rumble Pack to review news of the week. On the other side of the table, Goalie and Edie are raving, barking mad. Want proof, just listen. In their lucid moments, topics include:Screenshots of the supposedly leaked new Xbox Dashboard appeared (titled the Berlin dashboard), and then disappeared, on the internet. How real are they? The world may never know. Activistion Publishing (not Activision Blizzard) got a new CEO this week, and he's the brains behind the Kevin Butler campaign for Sony. Sony updates its Terms of Service, which now includes a disclaimer for a host of symptoms attributable to extended exposure to 3D. Microsoft releases Game Pack 007 for Game Room. Yawn. A Lionhead producer says that there will be nearly a half million lines of dialogue in the new Fable 3. Amazon Germany posts pre-orders for a new Xbox Arcade bundle, priced at 149 Euros. Wal-Mart posts pre-orders for a Kinect bundle (with one game) for $200. Driver San Francisco delayed to 2011. Curt Shilling moves to Rhode Island and says he has a deal with Electronic Arts for a new game series. Email, shout outs, and more. Enjoy.

It's an end and a beginning. An alpha and an omega. It's the final show for Cooper Hawkes, but the first show after we've announced a new website. So it's a celebration and a sad goodbye. It's also a really, really good show. Edie Sellers and Holy Goalie are joined by Hawkes one last time to talk up news of the week in gaming. There's a lot to take in, and Hawkes is in unusually rare form — reminding us exactly why we'll miss him. Topics include: Microsoft unveils a "family plan" for XBL Gold accounts. . Hulu Plus will launch for the Playstation 3 and the Xbox 360. For $9.99 a month, you'll ostensibly be able to drop your cable service. Maybe. OnLive has debuted, and Xbox is holding a Live-a-Palooza wherein more than 200 Rock Band/Guitar Hero songs are discounted up to 50 percent. Get on it. Want to preorder a game? You might think about Amazon, since they're giving Amazon credit for such things. Rumor: NBC is developing a television show about gaming. Meh. Sega Saturn titles to be heading to the Xbox Live Arcade — just like their Dreamcast bretheren. .

Part one?! What the hell?!   Yep. This week, Edie Sellers, Holy Goalie and Cooper Hawkes delve deep into the E3 press offerings from Sony and Microsoft... and then they run out of time. So the rest of the wrap up will have to wait until next week.   Don't worry, you'll get all the details. Patience is its own reward.   And this show is chock full of review and commentary about what Sony has up its sleeve and what we think of the Microsoft Kinect.   Enjoy.

You know what's wrong with enough podcast? Not enough boobs.   We rectify that shortage this week as Cooper Hawkes takes a week off. In his place, Leah from Some Other Podcast comes by to visit and talk about what's important to her... boobs, main. And games. Yeah, games. Lots of games.   In addition to chatting about boobs, Leah, Holy Goalie and Edie Sellers discuss: A short, early review of Alan Wake. An even shorter, even earlier review of Alpha Protocol. Activision reveals its lastest Guitar Hero iteration — this time with heavy metal. Rumors of a keytar circulate around Rock Band 3. Michael Pachter's loose lips sink Michael Jaffe's big reveal: Twisted Metal 2. And other stuff. And boobs. Enjoy.

Now, really, who doesn't want a cougar? Especially if you're playing Red Dead Redemption?   This week, we chat about Rockstar's new Wild West–themed game, as well as Alan Wake (sort of) and a revisit to Oblivion.   In addition, Cooper Hawkes, Holy Goalie and Edie Sellers review the week's news, including: Lionhead Studio confirms that Fable 3 is coming to PC, but without a collector's edition. Hrm. THQ, Activision and Ubisoft are rumored to be eying EA Sports' move to charge a premium for online play for second-hand games. Recon Future Soldier pushed to 2011. J. Allard leaving Microsoft? Midway is officially dead. Killzone 3 will be Killzone 3D. Bioshock's original pitch document is an interesting behind-the-scenes look at the game industry. Split/Second $40 next week at Best Buy, Alan Wake is $49 on Amazon. Enjoy.

This week, we have another very special guest. And this one has a banhammer with him.   Stephen Toulouse, director of policy and enforcement at Xbox Live, joins Holy Goalie, Cooper Hawkes and Edie Sellers to talk about how Microsoft keeps Xbox Live like a motel toilet — safe and sanitized for your protection. He answers questions about how the work is done, what part of his job gives him a big, fat chubby, and whether it's "Step-to" or "Step-toe." All the questions you want to know!   In addition, they chat up the week's biggest news, including: Harmonix is asking you to tell them what you want to see in future Rock Band games? Want Rock Band: Led Zepplin? Or not? Let your voice be heard! Need a job? Why not be Bungie's official Ugly Betty! Both game and console sales are slumping across the board. Why? Want Home Run Challenge? PQY44-67TMC-FX7FB-T6YKF-9BG73. Random stuff (a lot of it), thank yous, shout outs, and more! Enjoy.

Why are we singing the praises of Homerun Challenge? Because this week we have a guest: Matt Davis of Barkers Crest, developer of HRC, as well as Avatar Golf. He hangs out with us answering questions about both his Xbox Live Marketplace indy games and about the indy development world.   In addition, Cooper Hawkes, Holy Goalie and Edie Sellers also chat up the news. Including: Electronic Arts says that if you buy its EA Sports games used, be prepared to pay an extra $10 to go online. Get pissed off about being caught cheating? Hack Sony's website? Get slap on wrist! That'll learn ya! Nerdtastic Unity-based game lets you know that Flynn really does live! Random stuff, shout outs and more! Enjoy.

Another great episode is here, folks, brought to you fresh and steaming hot by your hosts, Cooper Hawkes, Holy Goalie and Edie Sellers.   This week we, again, have lots to talk about. The industry is gearing up for E3 and we are right there with it. We may very well be the only entity in gaming that's not suing each other!   In this show we talk about: The Halo Reach beta goes live — and then doesn't — after millions of ODST customers find Bungie's servers weren't quite ready for primetime. Maybe Bungie's servers were slow because they were too busy hyping their new, 10-year partnership with Activision. Seriously, not exactly something I'd be proud of. Why not proud, you ask? Let's just ask the Infinity Ward Employees Group, which sued Activision this week for withholding their full promised bonuses and charged that the publisher is using the promised cash to hold them hostage in their jobs. Random stuff, tons of email, voice mails from our listeners, and a new segment — shoutouts! Enjoy.

Wow. What a week. So much to talk about, so little time.   This week, Cooper Hawkes, Holy Goalie and Edie Sellers chat up the good, bad, and ugly in the gaming news world. Topics include: Our thoughts on Left 4 Dead 2, Splinter Cell Conviction, the Alan Wake prequels, the Split Second demo, and Peep shoes. Goalie interviews Turtle Beach about its new X-11 headset and offers his impressions. The US Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal that will decide, once an for all, whether anti-violient-video-game legislation is unconstitutional. The floodgates have opened at Infinity Ward and the talent that made Modern Warfare 2 is running screaming to Respawn Entertainment and Electronic Arts. Activision's even trying to bribe them to stay. The whole iPhone/Gizmodo drama is now getting, well, very dramatic, as a California law-enforcement task force raid the website editor's private residence and take, well, pretty much everything that has a battery. Vote and a struggling classic video arcade will get $25,000. Soooo much Random Stuff, even more laughs, debate, rants, raves and Peep shoes. Enjoy.

Hey! Two weeks and two episodes?! Why, this isn't the GameHounds we know!   OUR GameHounds takes two weeks off, then uploads an overly long episode and then disappears again.   Yes, this is *your* GameHounds. And yes, we are back on a normal schedule. Sort of.   Starting this episode, we will be a mid-week show, debuting each Wednesday. No more long weekend nights putting together the show for your pleasure. N0w it's long weekday nights.   This week, GamerEdie Sellers, Holy Goalie and Cooper Hawkes bask in the PAX East afterglow. And they talk about news, including: Sega closes its San Francisco office in a hurry. A man old enough to know better tries to steal a copy of Breach from the PAX show floor and finds himself in jail and looking at big fine and prison term. Douchbag. More PAX news.

Blog the heck out of it.   But first, listen to the show.   On this show, Cooper Hawkes, Holy Goalie and Edie Sellers give you the latest dirt and dish in the gaming industry, including: Sony officially announces the Sony Move -- or as we call it,  The Motion Controller Formerly Known as the Sony Motion Controller. Tiger Woods 11 and SOCOM 4 will be compatible with the Move, but not Natal. Whoa! More random stuff than you can imagine! Enjoy.

It's a new day on GameHounds.   This week, Holy Goalie debuts as a permanent host of the show. Which is very much like when he subbed in. But it's still awesome.   Goalie, Edie Sellers and Cooper Hawkes talk up the gaming news of the week, including: MTV reports that Bioshock is causing problems for those with colorblindness. Wanna see what that looks like? Red Octane closed by Activision, as is Underground Development. Sony says that there may be a looming Playstation 3 shortage. Yeaaah. Riiiight. Assassin's Creed II's DRM is makes Machiavelli say, "That's cold, dude." Random stuff, and stuff... and stuff. Most importantly: The Mass Effect rap is titled "Those Minerals," and it was written and performed by Kabuto The Python. The MP3 can be downloaded here. Enjoy.

Lost joke? Yeah, it was almost a lost episode. First, let's dispatch with the credits. Opening music is "Sucky Yaki" from the album Nothin' But Sausage from Ken Yokoyama. The vocals on that track are not Ken, but the GameHouds official Japanese interpreter and "assistant sound engineer" Serge Verhovski (also known as the bass player for that album). We got his permission for the music, and we think it's very fitting for the first episode back after our soiree to Tokyo. Next, closing music is "Gay Bar" by Electric Six.
