What do you get when you cross four disgruntled gamers with microphones? You get the best damn podcast since the invention of the internet, that’s what! Okay, maybe that might be overselling them a bit, but Ross, Keri, Chris and Blake are back once again to discuss all things gaming for the last seven days. [...]

Not only is Chris back this week from his adventures abroad, but we also have a special guest, Mike Deneen, of the Yet Another Gaming Show!

MAN DOWN! MAN DOWN! With Chris away in the tropics, this week the blood alcohol level of the episode was about eighty percent lower than usual. Don’t worry, there were still plenty of rambling discussions to be had anyway. Some of the items on the hit list included potential Kickstarter tomfoolery, Draw Something’s user base [...]

EvilCast Recap, Episode #125

feedback@gamesareevil.com (The Games Are Evil family) — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 13:30:34 +0000

Everyone stop the presses because there is urgent news about Electronic Arts possibly being bought out by Nexon. See, we love comedy too! The full squad continued their discussions of all things gaming with talk of Nintendo taking the first fiscal loss in the company’s storied history and more MMOs falling victim to internet hackery. [...]

EvilCast Recap, Episode #124

feedback@gamesareevil.com (The Games Are Evil family) — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 13:30:34 +0000

Let’s all take a collective breath and do our best to forget Ross and Chris’ duo episode from last week. As much as we enjoyed the brief glimpse into podcast “what-ifs,” Blake is back to bring the cast count back to three and re-seat himself atop the throne of the official “Podcast Whipping Boy.” Once [...]

EvilCast Recap, Episode #123

feedback@gamesareevil.com (The Games Are Evil family) — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 13:30:38 +0000

Here is an odd scenario for you. Keri is out busy being a mother and Blake is sick as a dog. So why not have Ross and Chris go it alone for a change? Here are the results of an experiment in podcasting that has most likely gone horribly awry. Good luck listeners and enjoy [...]

EvilCast Recap, Episode #122

feedback@gamesareevil.com (The Games Are Evil family) — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 13:30:41 +0000

Now that the Mass Effect 3 spoiling is long in the past, the cast can get back to what they do best: weekly gaming news. With a full squad once again, Keri, Ross, Chris and Blake discuss the trying topics of the last seven days including EA being awarded the Golden Poo, while fighting for [...]

EvilCast Recap, Episode #121 — Mass Effect 3 SpoilerCast

feedback@gamesareevil.com (The Games Are Evil family) — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 13:30:10 +0000

News takes a backseat this week, as we indulge our inner fanboys and fangirl. Keri, Ross and Blake finally get their chance to sit down and discuss all things Mass Effect 3. Just a word of warning: This is about as spoilery as it could possibly get, so don’t say we didn’t warn you. In [...]

EvilCast Recap, Episode #120

feedback@gamesareevil.com (The Games Are Evil family) — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 13:30:57 +0000

For the first time in ages, the entire cast recorded an episode with alcoholic beverages in hand. Of course, by default that makes this one of the most entertaining installments in recent memory! In between slurred verbal jabs at Blake, the team discussed the most recent GameStop earnings call, GAME filing for administration and why [...]

EvilCast Recap, Episode #119

feedback@gamesareevil.com (The Games Are Evil family) — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 13:30:12 +0000

With St. Patty’s Day right around the corner, it would only seem appropriate that this would be one of the drunkest EvilCasts on record. However, this year it seems that Ross especially decided to take his drinking and karaoke game to the next level. Along with all of the usual shenanigans, everyone talked over the [...]

EvilCast Recap, Episode #118

feedback@gamesareevil.com (The Games Are Evil family) — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 14:30:56 +0000

Okay, we might as well just be honest… The podcast was extra “time efficient” this week because your co-hosts were all clamoring to get back to their Mass Effect 3 campaigns. At least they would never lie to you about their priorities. When not blathering on about the adventures of Commander Shepard there was talk [...]

EvilCast Recap, Episode #117

feedback@gamesareevil.com (The Games Are Evil family) — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 14:30:05 +0000

This week it is safe to say that shit gets real in the question of the week. Carter Dotson of The Portable Podcast was more than willing to kick off our discussion of whether the PlayStation Vita and iOS devices/games should be compared. Then it was the rest of the cast’s turn to argue about [...]

EvilCast Recap, Episode #116

feedback@gamesareevil.com (The Games Are Evil family) — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 14:30:56 +0000

The PlayStation Vita launch week has finally arrived! In honor of this momentous event, the entire cast has reunited to discuss all things Vita. Except there was one small snag: Ross doesn’t exactly own one yet. But more on that later… Before diving into the deep end with Sony news, the team discusses California’s hefty [...]

EvilCast Recap, Episode #115

feedback@gamesareevil.com (The Games Are Evil family) — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 14:30:56 +0000

Breaking a streak that has been running nearly since the podcast’s inception, Ross misses his first EvilCast Recap in nearly two years. While not quite as unexpected but still missed, Chris couldn’t make it out this week either. So that leaves Blake and Keri to carry the podcast torch, with a little help from a [...]

EvilCast Recap, Episode #114

feedback@gamesareevil.com (The Games Are Evil family) — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 14:30:31 +0000

In a rare change of pace, the listeners were responding in droves this week, on the topic of using KickStarter to fund game development. Among the stellar callers were Matthew Green of the Power Button Podcast, Rob LeFebvre of 148Apps.com, and Carter Dotson of The Portable Podcast. As you can imagine, the opinions between Keri, Chris, [...]

EvilCast Recap, Episode #113

feedback@gamesareevil.com (The Games Are Evil family) — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 14:30:02 +0000

Once again reunited, the fearsome foursome of Keri, Chris, Ross and Blake reconvene to discuss matters of culture and gaming, with a level of class never reached in this industry. Too bad it is a new low, instead of a new high! This week the squad went over THQ’s recent failures on Wall Street, EA [...]

EvilCast Recap, Episode #112

feedback@gamesareevil.com (The Games Are Evil family) — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 14:30:12 +0000

With Keri and Chris gone this week, Ross and Blake are left to kick it old school, with the original EvilCasting duo. Is the magic still there? Probably not, but at least they have some interesting news to talk about such as Steam invading phones, Nintendo preparing for the first fiscal loss in the history [...]

EvilCast Recap, Episode #111

feedback@gamesareevil.com (The Games Are Evil family) — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 14:30:23 +0000

If you were to attempt to sum up this week in gaming, the phrase, “the sky is falling!” might readily come to mind. Between SOPA blackout protests, THQ being rumored to be going tits up, and Star Wars: The Old Republic pulling re-subscription shenanigans, the team is going to have plenty to talk about. It [...]

EvilCast Recap, Episode #110

feedback@gamesareevil.com (The Games Are Evil family) — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 14:30:43 +0000

Keri is back and in full effect, as the full cast reunites for the first time in 2012. This epic drunken sloshfest is a throwback to the old days that will no doubt take you back to a simpler time, back before the vile scourge known as SOPA. But the cast isn’t here to discuss [...]

EvilCast Recap, Episode #109

feedback@gamesareevil.com (The Games Are Evil family) — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 14:30:18 +0000

We have some good news and some bad news. First off the bad news: Keri is no longer with GamesAreEvil.com. Now for the good news: She loves us so much that she is going to continue as a regular co-host on the podcast! Whew, that was a major crisis averted. In her absence this week, [...]

feedback@gamesareevil.com (The Games Are Evil family) — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 06:01:18 +0000

As we draw the curtain closed on another fine year of EvilCasting, it only seems appropriate to take a look back at the year that was 2011. Sure, some podcasts might whip up some fancy Year in Review segment, but they probably have a budget, not to mention standards. Instead, we bring you the biggest [...]

EvilCast Recap, Episode #108

With the holiday gaming lull in full effect Chris, Ross, Keri and Blake pow wow again to see if there is anything interesting to discuss in the wide world of gaming. They finally decided to acknowledge the Spike Video Game Awards by taking a look at some of the winners, while also blabbering on about [...]

EvilCast Recap, Episode #107

feedback@gamesareevil.com (The Games Are Evil family) — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 14:30:54 +0000

As things were ramping up for the Spike Video Game Awards, Keri, Ross, Chris and Blake took every excuse to ignore the hell out of it. Why does the industry insist on making a mockery of itself on television, when that is what podcasts are for? In a perfect example of that the team discusses [...]

EvilCast Recap, Episode #106

EvilCast Recap, Episode #105

Now that the Thanksgiving holiday is upon us, Blake, Ross, Keri, and Chris considered taking a week off. Then they realized that no one had any special Thanksgiving plans to prevent recording. Does this means that nobody loves them? Choosing to take the high road, they shunned talk of holiday depression and instead discussed Uncharted [...]

Third time is the charm, right? Sure it may take Ross, Keri, Chis and Blake three restarts to actually come up with an acceptable podcast intro, but at least they care about the quality of the show. Aww, who the hell are they kidding… In this fustercluck of an episode our favorite hosts discuss a [...]

EvilCast Recap, Episode #103

Same bad day, same bad channel… Your favorite hosts are back for another week of gaming insanity, plus a little fun mixed in for good measure. But what good is having fun, if nothing gets accomplished, right? That is why Blake, Ross, Chris and Keri decided to talk about Skyrim’s magical infinitely expandable game, the [...]

Another day another dollar… Oh wait, they don’t get paid for this. Regardless of the lack of income, Ross, Keri, Chris and Blake are back again for another episode of exciting game news. This week was all about Grand Theft Auto, Microsoft eating crow and plenty sales numbers. Thank goodness they ramble about other things, [...]

After hitting the pinnacle at one hundred episodes Chris, Blake, and Ross should have went out at the top of their game. Instead, they decided that it would be good to start all over again for another one hundred. God help the poor listeners ears. Luckily they managed to find time to hit on some [...]

Holy crap folks! We managed to make it to episode 100. As crazy as it is to believe, Keri, Blake, Chris, and Ross somehow suckered you into listening to their random ramblings for nearly two years. And to think that they are just getting started… To celebrate the momentous occasion, there is actually a special [...]

EvilCast Recap, Episode #99

feedback@gamesareevil.com (The Games Are Evil family) — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 13:30:12 +0000

The usually rambunctious EvilCast crew was far more somber this week without the uplifting presence of Keri. That’s right, our heroes were once again forced to journey on without one of the podcast’s designated voices of reason. Plus, stories of the closure of Team Bondi and the passing of Steve Jobs didn’t help to uplift [...]

EvilCast Recap, Episode #98

feedback@gamesareevil.com (The Games Are Evil family) — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 13:30:22 +0000

By your powers combined, we are the EvilCast Recap! What? A little too over dramatic? Okay, so maybe Keri, Ross, Chris and Blake may not be THAT special, but together they are a force to be reckoned with in gaming news. Some of the subjects that were special enough to warrant the team’s special attention [...]

EvilCast Recap, Episode #97

feedback@gamesareevil.com (The Games Are Evil family) — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 13:30:49 +0000

Never tell Ross “bite me,” because someday he may take you seriously. This is among the many lessons learned by Chris, Keri and Blake in this weekly installment of the EvilCast. While the rest of the cast tried to recover from the cannibalistic claims of one of the co-hosts, they also talked about advertorials, more [...]

EvilCast Recap, Episode #96

feedback@gamesareevil.com (The Games Are Evil family) — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 13:30:40 +0000

Wow! Four weeks and counting without a missing co-host. This has to be some sort of a record! To celebrate, Blake forgets how to talk, so Keri, Ross, and Chris carry the entire show. Some of the items touched on include the secret left wing agenda of Flower, a potential 3DS hardware update, and GameStop [...]

EvilCast Recap, Episode #95

Holy Crap! It is hard to believe, but your faithful and diligent hosts have led us all down the infinite rabbit hole known as gaming for ninety-five adventures. Really though, all this means is that another week has passed, and there are plenty of new topics to discuss, such as a new head mounted 3D [...]
