For the past 5+ years The Best Damn Podcast Ever has been bringing a very unique spin on the video gaming industry to anyone with ears and would listen. Blake Buck, information pills Justin Fic, price and William Miller have become known as the “Lords of Gaming” by their fans and beloved by anyone that takes the time to listen.

Sometimes comedicaly irreverent and more often than not, help laugh out loud funny, BLAKE BUCK is a true student of the arts. Be it music making, radio hosting, or podcast frontmaning he pours his butter fueled heart in to every endevour. He is known in one of two camps, “BLAKE DUMB” or “BLAKE SMART”, but anyone who knows him will tell you that you can not put a label on the man, the myth, the legend that is BLAKE BUCK.

Justin Fic of Laserface Jones and Freeverse fame is a true old school gamer. Racking up insane points totals and kicking the living hell out of any game that you put him in front of. Justin Fic is the braun behind the Holy Trifecta. An award winning game designer and all around ass kicker, Justin Fic is not a man you want to meet in a dark gaming alley.

William “Matrix Mouth” Miller is the brains and more often than not the voice of reason on the show. He has quickly become a pillar of the gaming community, by way of Big Huge Games. He may rarely play games, but has more gaming knowledge in his little finger than most of the industry. He writes codez and tries to keep the BDPE codez from falling out of their collective asses.

The Best Damn Podcast Ever promises to bring gaming news, judgements, releases, and sometimes even the oft elusive ‘Battles’ to the masses in a way only these guys can. So, what the hell are you doing digging around the website? GO GIVE A LISTEN SON!

I want these two things to become one thing. Oven. Activate.In an effort to continuously refine our heat until it’s a glimmering pirate chest full of gold, find
we want to try something new for episode 30.

We did some talking about the show tonight and how we think it could be improved. Some want shorter shows, food
some want longer shows, some want less news, some want more BATTLE, etc.

So we decided as an experiment, episode 30 is going to be almost completely user-driven. Want us to do news? Post that heat in this thread. Got a topic you want us to discuss? List it in the forums. Got any genius BATTLE ideas? Judgments you want us to do? Janks? Feedback? New segment ideas? You know where it goes.

Not only that, we’re going to be streaming the show LIVE! for all of you to listen in.
THE SHOW WILL BE THIS SUNDAY, OCTOBER 30th AT 8PM EASTERN (5pm Pacific, 1am UK)

Fic, purchase
and a few crumbs of news, pharmacist
BDPE flies off into some bizarre tangents which actually prove more interesting then your average show.  By the time we finished news, we were nearly an hour and twenty minutes in.

Kinda like the podcast version of staying up late reading wikipedia.  You’re reading about John Wayne Gacy, twenty minutes later you’re on Chuck Palahniuk, then somehow it’s it’s 4 am and you’re watching this:  ?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTXO7KGHtjI

I think that’s it. I’ll update with anything I’ve forgotten.

If you can think of any tweaks/features, please let me know and I’ll try and work them in :)

Editing.  It’s a bitch.  The process seems to be taking longer and longer each week, store and between two podcasts, prescription classes, and trying to steal money from children, my free time is next to nothing.  So this week’s show is a bit late.  You can cry about it with the other babies in the forums, or apply for a the notorious position of BDPE audio editor.  Just check out this thread to apply.

NextGen.  How long has it been since I’ve heard that terrible phrase?  And with it the mountain of fanboy technobabble – polygons, mind  gigahertz, look ridiculous touch screen wiggle controllers, drugs
and social media synergy.  We’re one week into this and I already want to vomit.

News: Kinect for Netflix, Gamefly Lawsuit Settled, Nintendo’s Rumored Next-Gen Console with Tablet Controls, Sonic Generations Will Probably Suck, M-Rated Games Again Under Fire, Sony Discontinues PSP Go, Darkspore Might Not suck

Judgement: Portal 2, then we forgot about it.  Oops.

Also, this weeks’ show was a bit of a doozy with all the NextGen goo dripping from every news story, so we’ll catch back up on Feedback next week.  But keep em, comin!

Sometimes, doctor
things just don’t work like their supposed to.  Like signing up for Playstation Network and 6 months later somebody’s using your credit card to buy two hundred copies of the movie Hackers.  Or worse.  Like doing a podcast with an incompetent cohost who fails to record his audio properly.

So, there’s no episode 77.  Gone forever.  Send your tears to the forums.

News: PSN Meltdown, Nintendo and THQ Profits Down, Burgertime HD Announced, Too Human Just Won’t Die, New Nintendo Console Rumors, Ubisoft Making Films and TV Shows

Discussion: The Zombie Gaming Fad

Judgement: Portal 2, for real this time.
