The Lost Level: Episode Fifty-Nine

episode 59

Bienvenidos to The Lost Level. Enjoy the sun, the sand, the ocean, and the gentle sound of our voices in your ears. This week, Alex and Adam talk about their experience with the remake (Reboot? Sequel?) of Evil Dead. From there, we discuss the latest news in games and movies. We have the NPDs for March to get through, as well as our take on Xbox possibly reviving “Heroes,” a TV show that took a turn for the worse during its later seasons. Furthermore, we talk about Robert Downey Jr.’s unsure career path, the future of the Star Wars franchise, and some news on our favorite TV shows. Finally, you’ll be shocked to hear what movie Adam is actually interested in going to see. So grab a beach blanket, put on some sunscreen, and don’t drink the water.

The Lost Level: Episode Fifty-Eight

episode 581

Greetings, Lost Levelers. I have gathered you all here today so that we can bear witness to episode fifty-eight of The Lost Level. An episode in which Alex and Adam recount their trials through the world of Colombia in BioShock Infinite. An episode in which we witness the fall of the once-great kingdom of Lucas Arts. An episode in which we listen to the debate of an “always online” Xbox rage forth. An episode where, sadly, we mourn the loss of Roger Ebert.

Yes, we will have the latest news in video games and movies. Yes, we will make fun of each other. Yes, a good time will be had by all. So, join me brethren (and sistren?) so that we may listen to… The Lost Level!

Seriously, though. It’s cool. You should listen.

The Lost Level: Episode Fifty-Five

episode 55

Guys! Guys guys guys guys guys guys! Next Gen is coming! Yes, Sony officially announced that PlayStation is coming, so how could we not talk about it on our podcast. Adam and Alex discuss why it has them so excited, while Chris is old and fears change. Granted this generation of console has lasted 7 years, so he just probably grew comfortable and complacent in playing Halo as he drinks hot cocoa while wearing his robe and slippers that are most likely bunny in theme. From that, we go into our weekly news in video games and movies. So, won’t you join us as we anticipate the future.

Did you guys miss us?! The correct answer is yes, but I’m sure you were all smart enough to know that anyways. We have episode fifty-four ready to serve to you piping hot on a plate. Chris and Alex discuss A Good Day to Die Hard, and the the crew talk about a poll that the… ahem… fine people at GameStop conducted. From there, we go to the latest news in video games and movies, including January’s NPDs, speculations about the PlayStation 4, and the up coming X-Men movies. We hope you’ll enjoy listening to a sultry voices again after such a long break.

The Lost Level: Episode Fifty-Three

 

I know you all have been holding your breath for this, so here it is: our top games and movies from 2012. I’m glad we got this out there, because a few of you were starting to turn a little blue in the face. Yes, we are finally going to reveal our top 5 video games and top 3 movies of the past year, as well as some honorable mentions and the ones that didn’t live up to our expectations. We’re not angry at those movies and games, just disappointed. 

We also discuss Valve’s Steam Box, or what little is known about it thus far, as well as what we hope it does for the gaming industry as a whole. Then from there, we have our usual discussion on the latest news in video games and movies. So come reminisce with us about the past year, and help us look forward to what the next years will bring. We do hope you enjoy yourselves. 

The Lost Level: Episode Fifty-Two

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Okay, I know we’re a little late in communicating that sentiment, but the holidays are a busy time for us. There’s all the gift buying, and bad gift returning, and visiting the family in the hopes that this year won’t somehow involve the police but of course it will. It always does…

With our first episode of 2013, Adam and Chris talk about Django Unchained. We also discuss the patent that Sony applied for that would essentially link  games disks to a limited number of consoles. Take that used game sellers! Then we wrap it all up with video game and movie news for the week. Oh, and Chris tries to justify his purchase of a Kinect again. That silly Chris.  Let’s see what antics he gets in this year!

Lost Control: Episode Two

It’s that time of the year again, and in this episode the guys break down their frustrations with the crazy gaming price drops! How can someone be upset about deals? You’ll have to listen to find out! Black Friday can be a haven for amazing deals, but what kind of message does it send to loyal consumers when they buy a game day one, only to see it for less than half price just a few weeks later? Aaron and Chris get into this topic, as well as talk about their interesting experiences on Black Friday! Listen now!

If you have a topic you’d like us to discuss please let us know, we’d love to go off on listener submitted rants!

For loyal Lost Levelers we are recording The Lost Level: Episode 50 this weekend, so look for that next week! It will be a very full episode with so much coming out since the last episode! Also, maybe a certain Christina will finally be back from her hiatus, we shall see!

 

The Lost Control Podcast: Episode One

 

It took us a while, but we finally got that impossible plastic wrapping off our brand new podcast! And with only minimum bloodshed, go us!

In the first episode of Lost Control the guys dive right in and hide no shame as Aaron and Chris admit to their sad obsession with collecting Skylanders. Chris often denies it, but he felt it was time to come clean about his repeated trips to the store to find those damn things. Aaron shares a great story about his will power, and the thought process he has before he makes a purchase.

The other topic they discuss is one that has made a lot of waves here at Lost Level. The Microsoft rewards program. We did discuss this on a recent episode of The Lost Level, but the guys get into the numbers here, and those numbers with shock you!
