Kombo Breaker - Episode 16: John Davison Joins Us!

It's Friday and here we are again. We've been able to lock down two big name guests in as many weeks, and we hope that's a facet of the program that everyone's beginning to enjoy and believe in. I kid you not, Kombo Breaker isn't going anywhere. Next week's guest? Well, just a huge as this weeks. Stay tuned.

This week, we were lucky enough to have John Davison from Whattheyplay.com (formerly of the likes of 1up and EGM) come on and tell us what's for. We talked gaming journalism as a whole, the transition from print to online media and the current state of speaking to an audience of parents. We even found time to talk about our weeks, Killzone 2, Dan's Valentine's extravaganza at White Castle (I shit you not), and our thoughts on the DSi.

Make sure you pop into the forums to read our shownotes for this episode. And doubly make sure you check out Whattheyplay.com-- even as a non-parent, this site manages to deliver some of the most unbiased gaming content on the net. I promise, no Dateline NBC scare tactics within. It's straight legit, 2 legit to quit.

Kombo Breaker - Episode 15: Jeff Cannata and the NYCC

How goes it, tricks!? Another episode of Kombo Breaker on another Friday and you'd swear this thing is legitimate. It is, by the way, so don't go closing your media player when the boss comes by. This here is intelligent discussion!

What a show! What a week! If you folks haven't heard of Totally Rad Show (TRS for short) then it's time you get learned. Jeff Cannata, of the series, was kind enough to stop by and blow our minds with a high level of gaming discussion and concept. We talked Killzone 2, FEAR 2, love for the PS3 and a little discussion about the Wii's effect on the industry. Joey told everyone about a dog with herpes and then we talked about the New York Comic Con. The episode is packed with upcoming gaming content, so if you're wondering about the stuff ahead (The Conduit, Prototype, Battlefield 1943, Killzone 2, Street Fighter 4, Fear 2, MadWorld, etc.), then I suggest you tune in.

We're trying to make guests a weekly-ish deal on the show, so stay with us and enjoy. Hit the forums for some show note action. You'll find points of discussion, trailers, links and maybe a few convos about the show.

Kombo Breaker - Episode 14: Bang Camaro Joins Us!

The show goes on. The regular cast is with us today, talking up everything from Resident Evil 5 to the NY Comic Con. We cut things slightly short to make room for our special interview with one of Rock Band's most prolific bands: Bang Camaro.

Bang Camaro's undeniable brand of 80's tinged metal has been a mainstay for the franchise and garnered them a strong following. On the heels of their latest album, Bang Camaro II, Bang Camaro's guitarists Bryn Bennett and Alex Necochea sat down and talked with us to let us know how the ride's been so far and where it's taking them in the future.

We're also going to be giving away some Bang Camaro goods. Want to know the details? You're going to have to check the show notes to find out! Details will be given in there, but don't miss this chance!

This is one episode of Kombo Breaker you don't want to miss.

Kombo Breaker - Episode 13: More Reliable Than FedEx?

We're more reliable than FedEx! Dan's computer broke, it's still not back from repairs. What did we do? Well, we stepped up (to the streets) and recorded, edited and upped the show without him. In fact, this week, we polled Dan via text message during the show and then digitzied his answers so that he'd people to deliver them in person... sort of.

That's right! Microsoft Dan!!! This week we talk news, cheaters, Okami and no Ghostbusters. Oh, and no near death experiences. I know what you're thinking; you're thinking this is going to be boring. Phhh... it's totally not.

So, download the show here, stream it from Kombo or subscribe to it on iTunes. For you Zune owners... well, we've sent the podcast in three times now, still no luck. But we'll keep pestering them until they get it done. Hit the forums for the show notes and show discussion.

Kombo Breaker - Episode 12: K-K-K-Kombo Breaker!!!

It goes down easier the third time you try it, I promise. Kombo Breaker #12 is officially up and at 'em starting right now. This week was a little crazy for all of us... We played some video games, talked politics and even learned about how two of our hosts should never legally be allowed within 15 feet of automobiles for their own safety and that of others. The show checks in with some conversations covering possible film into video game iterations, some industry news for the past week and some hinting of upcoming Kombo Breaker exclusives.

If you're a listener and feel that there are some things that need covering on our show, pipe up and be heard. We're looking for questions, comments and thoughts in general.

So you better do yourself and the world a favor and strap in for some podcast action. Hit iTunes to listen and subscribe, or just download #12 straight from the horse's mouth.

"...Kombo Breaker is lovingly crafted from Win and hand rolled on the thigh of a virgin...everyone knows this..." -- Monkeylord, Kombo Forums Foruminator

We can't make that kind of stuff up. It's week #2 of the Kombo Breaker relaunch. For those counting, that's episode #11 over the course of history, and episode #102 for our clever re-numbering. We're here to confuse you, enjoy! This week we answer a question from one of our listeners, debate about the future of the Wii, discuss the proper Bustin' of Ghosts, discuss December's crazy NPD results and even manage to insult Dan so badly that he walks out on us. Yes, four of those things REALLY happened!!! Kombo Breaker is here to stay, and just to prove it we've provided another collection of notes for this week's show...
