2009-07-19T03:46:00.000-07:00

We've been delayed a bit. Our sorrow is immense and the weight of it crushed us... but for mere moments. We return now. Resolved. Willful and inspired!

Here for your ears is Part 1 of Episode 4. There is no beaten path here. We wander... and we ask that you to wander with us. If you enjoy this episode, you can be emboldened knowing that much more of the same waits!!!

Writing like a jackass is tiring. Later y'all.

Episode 3 - Part 2

2009-06-23T05:19:00.000-07:00

We're still having some hiccups with our iTunes updates. We already tried standing in a corner with our eyes closed and letting someone scare us, and it didn't work. We'll try other things. In the meantime, enjoy part 2 of episode 3.

In part 2 of Ep3, we go on about 1 vs 100, fat princess, DC Universe, and we sing. We sing like people with heart. That's why you're here, right? ... right.

Episode 3, Part 1 is live. If you're subscribed, the joy is forthcoming. If not, you can diddle this text with your mouse and be fulfilled.

In Part 1 of Episode 3, I talk about my time with Plants vs Zombies and Blueberry Garden. The group discusses lasting consequences in games and how that affects difficulty. Then we all leave when the icecream man drives by.

Here is some text for you to read!!!

We're now listed on the iTunes music store, for those who prefer to get their podcasts that way. The little growling monster picture is temporary. Charming, but temporary.

I've decided to switch the RSS feed over to Feedburner. It has toys and all manner of fanciness. I've updated the link on the right to reflect the change (the old link will still work, but you should probably still update it to accomodate the aforementioned fanciness.).

I'll continue to make direct download links available for those without iTunes/FeedReaders/Space Helmets.

New episodes will arrive by Friday of each week and we may, from time to time, post random silliness (as boredom compels us), so check in every now and again. Unless you hate to be amused. Because you will be. Often.

Episode 2 - Part 2

2009-06-10T18:30:00.000-07:00

Part 2 of Episode 2 is now online. You can access the episode right here, on these words that I've made clickable. I'll add this to the feed, but part 1 is still clickable below (and I recommend listening to it first).

In Part 2 of Episode 1, Joe tells us about more E3 games, including his behind-closed-doors viewings of Alan Wake and Splinter Cell: Conviction. He goes into detail on his hands-on with the upcoming DJ game, Scratch. We argue about zombies and Project Natal. Also, there is mid-show mischief.

Episode 2 - Part 1

2009-06-10T10:22:00.000-07:00

Welcome to the newly recreated Mommy Are The Monsters Gone! Give the podcast a listen and be invigorated, be enlightened, be assured that we are on it... whatever "it" may be. MATMG is a discussion about video games, geekery, and the eternal epistemological questions of mind and knowing.

In Episode 2, Bill, Sumo, Joe and Ryan relaunch the show. In Part 1, we introduce ourselves, discuss Infamous, Joe's E3 Bioshock 2 multiplayer viewing, morality choices, and legendary "stuck points."

To download the podcast directly, you can click on these very words. If you would like to subscribe to the podcast, you will find the necessary RSS link over on the right. (You can right-click and copy the link location, if you'd prefer to add it to iTunes or whatnot).

Part 2 will follow in hours (maybe days) to come, with additional episodes appearing weekly (or near-weekly!).
