Flap Jaw Space: The DigitalChumps Podcast [Episode 20]

There’s something interesting brewing in the world of wizard simulators, sexy block pushers, and arcade sports mixes, and Flap Jaw Space has just the concoction. This week, we take a look at Dead Space 2, Mario Sports Mix, and Magicka. Also, we’ve all taken a trip back to 2007 to relive (or in Steve’s case, catch up on) the much-acclaimed Valve masterpiece, Half Life 2. How does it hold up and wha...[Read More]

Flap Jaw Space: The DigitalChumps Podcast [Episode 19]

Steve has been forced to play a game again, and this time we keep him within his relative platforming comfort zone with Double Fine’s Xbox classic, Psychonauts. As we try to catch up on our 2010 backlog, we battle over the merits of the LIMBO and Bayonetta. Does LIMBO deserve the critical acclaim it receives? We sure as hell don’t know, but we try to come to a semi-coherent resolution. See what ha...[Read More]

Flap Jaw Space: The DigitalChumps Podcast [Episode 18]

Here at Flap Jaw Space, we are video gamers who make a video game podcast. We don’t see eye to eye on what’s good, great, and terrible, but we’re genuinely enthusiastic about the craft. Thus, we try to avoid snarkiness and bad behavior when talking about the industry (usually). However, we love to insult each other. Please join us for the latest episode. Although 2010 is over, its games are stil...[Read More]

Flap Jaw Space: The DigitalChumps Podcast [Episode 16]

The year is over, and we take on the task of pretending like we know everything about it. In our end-of-the-year roundup, we discuss what makes a Game of the Year and duke it out. Surprisingly, we're able to come to terms with each other and choose the Flap Jaw Space GOTY. Join us and be sure to let us know how terrible and/or good we are.

Flap Jaw Space: The DigitalChumps Podcast [Episode 15]

This podcast is a Festivus miracle which includes BARF MODE veteran Chris Smith (as a background character) and fellow DigitalChumps.com writer Greg Schardein. With our added girth, we tackle issues of Minecraft, Infinity Blade, Super Meat Boy, and the philosophy of game of the year discussions. As usual, Steve compares everything to Mario Galaxy 2 as we ponder the most overlooked games of the yea...[Read More]

Flap Jaw Space: the DigitalChumps Podcast [Episode 14]

This week, we fill your dark soul with light. In addition to discussing which type of heavy metal music to play when a hooker is taped to a bed, we delve into Pacman addiction, Marvel Pinball, and Mass Effect quandary. Our Steve Plays a Game segment features an in depth look at Ninja Theory's Enslaved: Odyssey to the West and the cinematic action genre as a whole. And of course we must ask ourselv...[Read More]

Flap Jaw Space: the DigitalChumps Podcast [Episode 13]

The most immersive podcast on the planet brings you a special guest this week that will try to qualify The Sims 3 as a legitimate gaming experience. In this conversation, we learn about deadbeat dads, fat concubines, and doctors reproducing with other doctors. I don’t know. Other than this, we take another stab at Epic Mickey, ear infections, and dads catching on fire. A Sonic fan’s look at Sonic ...[Read More]

Flap Jaw Space: the DigitalChumps podcast [Episode 12]

Back from the non-canon BARF MODE, we are ready to get back to work (?). In an incredibly topical week, we take a stroll with Donkey Kong Country Returns, Epic Mickey, Gran Turismo , and Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood. Also, we wonder about falling into a Sim-Hole and a Civ-Hole. Now included: awkward topic transitions, real user interactions, and potential Pit Fighter noises.

Flap Jaw Space: the DigitalChumps Podcast [BARF MODE]

In an incredibly unstructured and impromptu episode, we welcome a couple of old buddies in our first Flap Jaw Space gaiden. The aptly titled BARF MODE curdles into existence with a ridiculous amount of off-topic banter that includes MMO addiction, Mad Catz, and Steve’s raggedy IGN.com T-shirt. We’ll be back later in the week with our real episode.

Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood

The Assassin’s Creed series has slithered in an unexpected direction since its inception. The original Assassin’s Creed made an interesting promise to grant players a means to perform stylish or subtle assassinations, combined with a careful planning phase and an elusive escape phase. Now, Brotherhood continues Ezio’s adventures by layering a new structure and refined gameplay systems over the ori...[Read More]

Flap Jaw Space: the DigitalChumps Podcast [Episode 11]

We’re in the mood to talk about intentionally stereotyped zombies and Yar’s motivation for seeking revenge. While these compelling questions cannot be answered, we’ve got some coverage of a multi-site conference call with Warren Spector on his upcoming Epic Mickey. Also, we take a look back at the often-forgotten and widely polarizing open world shooter, Far Cry 2.
