One Of Swords

Dave Cravens -- co-writer of Transformers: Fall of Cybertron -- gets on the horn to discuss cinematics, Dinobots, and more mechanized goodness. Hugh and Kat and I get into the Wii U (and Activision's support of it), Nerf controllers, fresh Zombies teasers, the Comikaze fallout, personalities and sun signs, 007 Legends' fifth sixth mission reveal, tricky trivia, THPS HD on PC (with a catch), a friend's first MMO experience, the last batch of MW3 DLC, Mila Kunis running to the bathroom, and Jeff Mothereffin' Probst!

Your letters take the spotlight again this week, as Hugh, Kat, and Dan talk about magazine hipsters, Black Ops II Prestige, Transformers DLC, missing Dinobots, MW3 DLC on PS3, Chris Cole, Skylanders Sidekicks in Giants, Black Ops LA comic conventions, Joe Cocker, Wipeout on iOS, Hugh's personal IT guy, Dan's legitimate irratation, and Kat's hot loathing of Randy Newman.

When Kat's away, everything breaks down. Technical issues make it a rough recording session, so Hugh and I get into a shouting match, and our special guest Blythe Renay from The Damsels of Dorkington is caught in the crossfire (not that she can't take care of herself). Amidst the chaos are stories of green baloney, the Activision Anthology on mobile, adventures in cosplay, a legendary dirty joke, Hugh's terrible time in film school, Dinobots in MP, disliking cancer, MW3 DLC, Blythe's secret connection to Rooster Teeth, an installment of It Sucks To Be Hugh (the celebrity poker show story), and famous guys whose middle name is Scott. Plus, "Hugh-miliation" and "Hugh-mor." Word!

I received a ton of questions about Call of Duty: Black Ops II's multiplayer offerings during and after its big Gamescom debut -- so I asked David Vonderhaar from Treyarch to dive deep into the details that you wanted to know. We talk about how leveling works, the return of the emblem creator, "Revenge Voice," whether Second Chance gets a second chance, and what happens when you hit Prestige 10. It's 30 minutes you will not want to miss. Kat and Hugh jump in for the rest of the show, where we discuss cosplay, the collector's editions of Black Ops II, things to do in Vegas 10 years ago, THPSHD on PSN, our plans for PAX, the digital resurrection of Kat's mother, the Six Mile Conspiracy, Dan's multiple asses, Hugh the Sensemaker, Zombies trivia, and the Wrap of Khan.

It's about time we got to your letters! Hugh, Kat, and I talk about Fall of Cybertron's big debut, THPS DLC, the seemingly dusty 360 Game Room, the MW3 demo, people who are not jerks, NASCAR's cover athlete, food analogies that don't work out, who gets the money when a studio scales back, how Call of Duty is evolving, what you can expect when Skylanders Giants goes on sale, Lunar Lander, Dan's small influence on indie gaming, whether Kat is being held hostage, and those jerks from 3CAP.

With all the Call of Duty news coming out of Gamescom this week, it probably won't be a surprise that I've got two related interviews this week. Rob Heubner of Nihilistic Software talks about Black Ops Declassified on Vita in what I think might be his first public interview on the topic, and then that David Vonderhaar guy from Treyarch lets me grill him about a few Black Ops II multiplayer details. We also tackle other news from Gamescom, including some new Bond announcements and other games on display, then we get into the usual lunacy like Hugh's shocking lack of knowledge of the English throne, Skylanders Sidekicks, rivets, Transformers preorders, "CODcasting," Hugh's review of Pitfall! for iOS, dog photos, free books on Kindle, and ultimately, Macauley Culkin.

Ever wanted to sit down and just shoot the breeze with a Call of Duty studio head? I get to do that this week with Glen Schofield of Sledgehammer Games, who runs the Gauntlet of Swords. We talk about game design heroes, Diablo II, the Beatles, and quite a bit about horror movies. Since Hugh's wheeling and dealing this week and couldn't be on the show, newcomer Jeremy Soule (no, the other one) joins Kat and I to discuss the cryptic Black Ops II multiplayer trailer, sardonic sports writers, free Skylanders on iOS, MW3's intense Chaos mode, why marathons are passe, selectic Android launches, cross-enterprise teams, dolphin dives, robot pirates, lycra avoidance, tobacco companies, what Dan spends his money on, and what would definitely not be Kat's stage name if she were a rapper.

Infinity Ward's Senior Community Manager Tina Palacios was in the office last week, so I somehow tricked her into stopping by, recording a podcast interview, and even running the infamous Gauntlet of Swords. Kat and Hugh and I chat about Prototype 2's PC launch, your last chance for a great giveaway, old arcade stuff, Radical's history, adults at Disney, rhythmic gymnastics, boiling in fury, things that don't exist in Canada, the story of how Dan proposed to Kat, and Hugh finally vents his spleen on So You Think You Can Dance.

There are men and there are gods. My interview guest is the latter: The Amazing Spider-Man's Extreme Reporter, Bruce Campbell, whom I trapped in a small room shortly before his autograph signing at the Activision booth at San Diego Comic-Con 2012. We talk about statues, Pitfall, and Nathan Fillion. The rest of the discussion is also SDCC-heavy, with Kat and Hugh and I chatting about Deadpool's big day out, robotic cat ears, COD DLC, Advil addiction, Angry Birds, Greg the Bunny, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD, the "lower brain," Skylanders Sidekicks, plain black shirts, Jessica Rabbit, X-Men Legends, Muppets, cooking from scratch, Minecraft, the one thing that haunts Hugh and -- inevitably -- bronies.

Right before we hit the road for San Diego, Hugh makes good on his promise to tell a juicy It Sucks To Be Hugh story -- and it's a good one, involving a lot of celebrities and a lot of embarrassment. Then Kat, Hugh and I talk about pachinko, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron's new ship date, The Walking Dead, GI Joe, Pitfall's return, journalism, Trent Reznor, dynamism, what passes for kitchen artwork in Hugh's house, a free MW3 map, Romanian vampires, COD in China, fast food promotions, V, Mac Ops, Cthulhu, easter egg hunts, leatherworking, and Dora the Explorer in Nicaragua.

In honor of the Independence Day holiday, the show is posting a few days early. [Update: A little too early, because I screwed up the first posting. Sorry if you get two files, but this is the right one.] And due to some unusual luck, I have a double-shot of developer interviews this week, both about Call of Duty: Black Ops II. First I have online director Dan Bunting discussing Nuketown's past and future as Nuketown 2025, then I get into the nitty-gritty of exactly what "branching storylines" means with the game's director and writer, Dave Anthony. Elsewhere in the show, Kat and Hugh and I also discuss Radical's fate, light gun games, 10six, George Lazenby, nipples, spreading diseases, Wipeout 3, Skyrim's DLC, and the mysterious process of "mapleboarding."

This week, we meet the winners of the 2012 Activision Independent Games Competition -- Chris Hui and Michael Stanton, who shared the $250,000 prize pool. We talk about what they've created, what they're going to do with all that money, and what took so damn long for them to be crowned the winners in the first place. The rest of the show is the usual nonsense with Kat and Hugh, barking about The Amazing Spider-Man, Transformers syntax, Skylanders e-books, Q from Star Trek: TNG, Atari history, Wreck-It Ralph, NASCAR drivers, Megan Fox's thumb, Crazy Climber, and fighting on the moon.

We dig into the megamailbag this week, and it's one of those shows where Kat, Hugh, and I wind up covering a lot of ground, including Neversoft's new project, theater acting, THPS HD's release date, Spider-Man theme songs, fixer bikes, how long CoD can last, Jefferson Starship, dog-shaped balloons, discount sports stores, the difference between Skylanders and Skylanders, Yameen's musical past, the Surface and its stylus, and some anti-Kickstarter stuff from Hugh.

Beenox studio head Dee Brown joins me this week to discuss The Amazing Spider-Man, which will be in stores on June 26. We talk about the new voice of Peter Parker, the speed of Web Rush, putting Stan Lee in the world of his own creation, and how Spidey's webs attach to the world around him (and a darn good reason for why they sometimes don't). Meanwhile, Kat and Hugh jump in for discussion of Elite DLC, Crom, Dan's new job title, Jason Bateman, forgotten game subtitles, Saavik's pon faar, Jimmy Fallon, t-shirt cannons, a kris, the lamentation of farm animals, and a classic example of Dan being a jerk.

Stick a fork in E3 2012 -- it's done! The show had its share of surprises both pleasant and unwelcome, and we discuss them this week. Topics for Kat, Hugh, and I include CoD on PS Vita, top hats, COD XP (or lack thereof), Angry Birds, the return of FreeStyleGames, transcendent gaming moments, DLC deals, the pink flu, Bat-mite, The Unfinished Swan, bedtime stories, Fall of Cybertron on PC, fights in tights, dopey beer-bellied guys, and Hugh's ongoing Castlevania heartbreak.
