We’ve summoned the heroes of the Internet and sent them to get a peek at Skylanders Giants and Need for Speed: Most Wanted in different countries. In addition, one of the most anticipated whale oil punk game of the year, Dishonored, is discussed. Retro City Rampage might be pretty cool, but we don’t really know that, either. Also: Rayman: Origins and more Borderlands 2. Come anthromorp...[Read More]

Eric is back from his close encounters with wild Florida sabrecats, so he’s decided that there’s little to do other than blather nonsense into partially-functioning microphones. Anyway, we’re moving forward with our video game Power Rankings this week in which we discuss the merits and shortcomings of Borderlands 2, Tekken Tag 2, Mark of the Ninja, FTL, Double Dragon Neon, and Ki...[Read More]

As the world turns, we must try to get Pushmo off of out Power Rankings list. Steve, of course, frets and defends the 3DS puzzler to his death. Nonetheless, the show goes on as we discuss more Walking Dead, Super Hexagon, Dust: An Elysian Tail, Asura’s Wrath, and other incessant nonsense. Due to popular demand, the Retroactive Shitstorm is back again as we head toward 1996. It was a good yea...[Read More]

The rankings of power continue with that new Mario joint, Retro/Grade, Sound Shapes, and more chit about The Walking Dead. Also, the Retroactive Shitstorm is back with a new twist. Hold on to expectations, because you really shouldn’t have any by this point! Find the latest episode on the RSS feed or go to iTunes. Or you can directly download this episode and share it with your grandma! Plea...[Read More]

  Street Fighter X Tekken’s downloadable content has been a subject of much controversy. When it was discovered last March (before the game even came out) that the twelve bonus characters were already on the disc, the Internet Outrage Meter predictably shifted to DEFCON 3. Did Capcom have a right to include data in the retail package and then try to sell the player $20 unlock key six mo...[Read More]

We’re back, with dinosaur stories! This week, we argue about the merits of poor Eric recommendations, such as Spelunky, Dyad, and the Walking Dead. Again, the tangent bug grasps our brains, as we talk about Mentos commercials, Batman, and search engine optimization. Of course, more Diablo 3 discourse and debate is on tap for this episode.  Find the latest episode on the RSS feed or go t...[Read More]

By now, most of you have probably at least heard that apparently Nintendo will not be followed by Microsoft or Sony in terms of a new machine being released. That distinction, according to Kickstarter, will be bestowed upon the Android OS powered OUYA. From what I can gather, the project is being headed up by “industry vet” Julie Uhrman. To be honest I couldn’t find much of her p...[Read More]

This lost podcast was recorded in prehistoric days, where they argued about repair costs in Diablo, Lolipop Chainsaw, and Max Payne. Come along for the dino-ride and be thrilled, in space! Also, you can barely hear Eric on this episode, which makes it WAY better! Bring your favorite earbuds or your favorite ear buds! Find the latest episode on the RSS feed or go to iTunes. Please direct feedback, ...[Read More]

  With a fairly mundane day job, considerable exercise every other day, driving, and the infinite undertaking of making my apartment not look like a Brazilian favela, I listen to a lotof podcasts every week. Obviously I think Flap Jaw Space: The DigitalChumps Podcast is the best in the biz*, but despite my narcissism I can’t just listen to archived repeats of Ch...[Read More]

*Episode 53 is currently not published! Time Paradox! Welcome to the Flap Jaw Space Power Rankings (text edition), a written recap of the dynamic perversion and informal melee that unfolded on the previous episode of Flap Jaw Space: The Digital Chumps Podcast. Power Rankings is a running segment where we continually update the ten best games of 2012 every episode. If you’re new, there’...[Read More]

I think I’m done with shooters. Not games where you specifically shoot guns and kill things, I’m pretty sure I could still play Point Blank all day, but rather the certain first and third person sub-genre ubiquitously identified by the masses as “shooters.”  I came to this realization after playing Max Payne 3 for an hour and found myself struggling to give a shit abou...[Read More]

Over the course of E3 2012, a theme circulating around my head was the idea of wonder and curiosity versus the concept of expectations, and how those two ideas factor into personal anticipation. As this relates to my ten best of E3, with one glorious exception, each title is defined by how much I don’t know about it, and how the small bits and pieces I’ve come to understand feed my ant...[Read More]
