Marooners’ Talk: Episode 035 – “In Which We Mourn the Loss of Adam”
For the most part over the last few months, we’ve managed to keep our podcasting trio intact. Occasionally, however, either Thom or Adam will totally let everyone down and fail to appear on a weekly episode. Last night, Thom and I found ourselves in just one such situation, as Adam may have died (but we’re fairly certain…pretty sure…hopeful that he’s alive). That bein...[Read More]
Review: The Amazing Spider-Man (360/PS3)
Activision and Beenox have had an interesting time with Marvel’s most popular hero. Shattered Dimensions was an awesome love letter to the fans, and Edge of Time managed to have a great story (despite a lot of people disliking it). With the history of Spider-Man titles being what it is, does The Amazing Spider-Man manage to soar, or does it plummet? This time, Beenox has done the movie tie-i...[Read More]
Marooners’ Talk: Episode 034 – “Do A Barrel Roll!”
After a busy weekend of rocking out, followed by some hardcore napping, we finally got together to record this week’s podcast episode.

He is a true treasure for fans of the medium, and deserves every bit of respect and adoration he receives.

Marooners’ Talk: Episode 023 – “Looking Forward”
The original idea for this episode of the Marooners’ Talk podcast was to really get into our anticipated titles for the rest of calendar year 2012. While we eventually got around to that, I believe our first 30-45 minutes focused on Internet providers, Doctor Who, used games, and various other topics. Come to think of it, the last 15 minutes kind of got off topic, too, so you’ve got ab...[Read More]
