This week, Lucas carries out the cult rituals of the PCG tribe with Evan, Josh, Tyler, and Gavin as they seek the answers within to the most pressing of questions. What game determined their path through life? What is their deepest, darkest PC gaming passion? How do they nourish themselves whilst gaming like champions? And who, pray tell, participated in a LAN for a whopping 52 straight hours?! Don your cabalistic cloaks and join us in this inward-looking ceremony.

This week, Lt. Logan, Chris #1 and Chris #2, and intern soldiers Greg and Gavin hunkered down in the PCG compound to prepare for all-out war on crappy legislation. Gavin gives us the scoop on the new TOR flashpoint, Kaon Under Siege, Greg patents his ingenious idea for 3D printers, and Logan lights a torch and passes out pitchforks around the office in preparation to take down SOPA.

PC Gamer Interview with Daniel Erickson

Tyler, Chris A., Lucas, and Greg discuss the first days of The Old Republic, the last days of Star Wars: Galaxies, and wrap-up 2011 with fond gaming memories and a desperate need for USB coffee warmers and other junk people wrap in paper this time of year.

We ask the big questions, point-blank: was 2011 PC gaming’s best year ever? To find out, Evan leads Tyler, Antista, Greg, and Lucas on a journey of self-discovery, as they look at the best gaming years past, what we’re loving now, and what we have to look forward to in the near future. It’s a magical journey of nostalgic tear-shedding, forward-thinking futurism, and intern mockery. Peer into our crystal monitors as we divine which year of PC games we look back on most fondly.

The new Counter-Strike beta is a GO, and Evan has been on the frontlines to bring us his thoughts on the rebooted counter-terrorist warfare. Josh fills us in on the biggest updates to hit WoW, EVE, and DCUO this week, while Greg and Chris barely make it out of their encounter with Serious Sam: BFE with their miniguns intact (and live to tell about it). And, try as we might, we just can’t help ourselves but talk about Skyrim. Then again, who could blame us?

Happy Gamesgiving, everyone! We celebrate the Turkeyist time of the year with another hearty podcast loaded with the usual news discussion and a heaping side of what we’re thankful for this year in games. Josh fills us in on everything TOR-related now that the embargo has been lifted off his weary shoulders. Greg plays an instant classic out of the Vietnamese shooter 7554, and we all can’t help ourselves from talking about the Muppets.

Parting is such sweet sorrow, but it doesn’t have to be all bad. We bid Dan Stapleton a fond farewell on this week’s podcast, with Evan, Josh, Chris and Lucas giving him the best podcasting sendoff they can muster. You’ll find out the answers to some of life’s most profound questions: what’s the best game of the last 8 years? Is there anything bad about Skyrim? What’s the deal with quicktime events? And, most importantly, what’s the difference between a zombie and a mummy?

It’s the biggest PC gaming week of the year, and we’ve got a big podcast to go along with it. Join Dan, Greg, Chris, Tyler, and Evan as we bring you our impressions from the unspoiled frontier of Skyrim, and loads of anecdotes from our travels (as spolier-free as we can make it). We also touch on the monster that is Modern Warfare 3 and the overshadowed LA Noire.

For the first time in awhile, we’re all playing the same game at PC Gamer—Tribes: Ascend. And we’re more than glad to share our hours of experience in the game’s just-launched beta. It can’t last long, though: Call of Duty, L.A. Noire, Batman: Arkham City, Skyrim, all loom in November, each powerfully incompatible with a healthy personal life. Between those upcoming releases, we also chat about the bungled launch of Sword of the Stars II, Blacklight 2, the GTA V trailer, and Mechwarrior Online.

The man. The myth. The legend. Chris Antista enters the wild world of the PC Gamer podcast, far from home and without a clue where he is (or, he’s recording a podcast in the very same room where he did Talk Radar). Alongside Dan, Lucas, Gavin, and Greg, they’ll traverse the misty plains of Battlefield 3 impressions, encountering singleplayer goofiness and multiplayer war stories. Then they’ll trudge through the deserts of BlizzCon impressions, the sea of Truthiness and Falsity, and the Swamps of Torment, where Xbox games appear in the Playlist. It is, without a doubt, an epic venture.

The embargo has (partially) lifted, and its time to open the floodgates on a ton of Star Wars: The Old Republic news. Josh and Dan share their hands-on experiences with interns Greg and Lucas, who grill them for info on lightsabers, aliens, enemies, story, and what makes this a great Star Wars game. Then we field listener questions on Battlefield and sound design, plus all the games we’re playing this week.

Killing in the name of! That’s how every PC Gamer podcast would start if Chris and Lucas were the only participants. As it stands, we have Gavin in the lead this week with Chris, Dan, Evan, and Lucas in tow, discussing their experiences thus far with Rage, our TF2 Killer Exclusive, the glory that is orc genocide in Orcs Must Die!, and Neverwinter MMO heartbreak. And when Evan calls a Truthiness and Falsity question “a good one,” you know it must be excellent: does playing defense suck?

PC Gamer Digital is a go, and as the rest of the staff skips with glee throughout the office, Lucas, Evan, Dan, Chris, and Greg take to the recording studio to make good on their ancient podcasting pact. This week, we’re talking PCG Digital, even more LoL: Dominion ownage, the Battlefield 3 beta, TOR’s release date, and more. And get on your earmuffs, kiddies: Evan’s channeling his inner sailor this week.

You may not find out about figurative/literal skeletons in the closets in this week’s podcast, but you will get a heap of podcasting tomfoolery with Chris, Evan, Dan, and Lucas. Get to know the editors’ hobbies, what they think of Battlefield 3, Dota 2, and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and what they sound like when they’re podcasting on film.

L.A. Noire. Red Orchestra 2. Tribes: Ascend. Batman: Arkham City. Torchlight II. There’s a scary, money-demanding gang of games still coming in the waning quarter of 2011. In this ep., Dan, Chris, Tyler and new intern Gavin pick their favorites. Evan also leads a rousing round of truthiness and falsity, in which we confront the controversial issue of alltalk (on or off?), ask if multiplayer gaming is better than it’s ever been, and wonder what PC gaming would be like if Valve declared itself a platform holder.

Josh recalls his pool party-filled time at SOE’s Fan Faire and tells us his impressions on PlanetSide 2, and Evan tells us what a great time he’s having on our new GoldenEye: Source server, tackles Tribes: Ascend, and more!

At the end of the podcast, Lucas sits down with one of PC gaming’s most-loved men, Sean “Day9″ Plott, to talk eSports, why attacking in StarCraft 2 is good, and his favorite card game.

We also ask: are unmoddable games proper PC games? How stable is a hat-based economy? What’s the best Civ game? Would Harry Caray make a good StarCraft commentator?

On this week’s podcast (a few days late, due to crows), we break down the significance of Team Fortress 2 being a $0 game, and decide which class “won” the Über Update. Also talked: Arma 2: Free, L.A. Noire’s arrival on PC this Fall, and Evan sings the praises of his favorite community-made L4D2 content, Questionable Ethics and Let’s Build A Rocket.

Josh, Dan, Tyler, and Lucas weave through Duke Nukem Forever’s critical assassination and PR gaff attack, Battlefield 3 preorder bonus nonsense, EA’s digital exclusivity ambitions, and the rampant hax0ring of boxes. Plus, feel free to laugh at Tyler’s first attempt to host a PCG podcast (excluding E3). Just keep in mind that he can hear you listening. That’s how the internet works.

PC Gamer US Podcast 251 – Soul Eater

Lock your doors, hide your laser mice. The Laser Death Cat invades PC Gamer’s 250th podcast, just in time for another episode of the only gaming quiz show where arbitrary decisions and constant cruelty are the only rule: Catfantastic. Logan adjudicates our two teams of expert question-answerers–including two former PC Gamer editors-in-chief–on this Very Special episode. What year did Battlefield 1942 win PC Gamer’s game of the year award? What engine were the first screenshots for Duke Nukem Forever rendered on? These lively questions–and other, audio-driven inquiries–are answered.

Only your download can appease the Laser Death Cat.

Get it here!

The PC Gamer Thanksgiving dinner table is full this year as Logan, Evan, Dan, Josh, Mike, and Andy crowd around our small, imaginary spread of delicious Thanksgiving morsels to talk about video games.
Since it’s obvious what we’re thankful for this year (good games), we decide to spend the hour giving you something to be thankful for: answers to life’s greatest questions. Or at least answers to the questions that we get asked most frequently by readers!

Questions like:

• I’m in high school, and I’d like to have a career in the videogame industry. What should I major in in college? What kind of classes should I take?
• How did you get your job at PC Gamer?
• How much of your time is actually spent playing games?
• What kind of PC do you have?
• What’s your favorite game of all time?
• What’s up with that weird tiny story in ever issue?
• Why don’t you respond to my email?
• Why do you restrict your contests to the United States only? Do you hate Canadians?!
• What betas should I be playing right now?
• Is TOR going to dethrone WoW?
• When is Episode 3 coming out?

So if you have to sit next to The Spy’s aunt at Thanksigiving this year, don’t worry–you won’t have to follow every rivulet of mashed food running down her chunky neck like The Spy did in our October issue. Just slip on a hoodie, toss in some headphones and let our PC Gamer Thanksgiving Q&A whisk you away to a far off magical land of digital mashed potatoes and turkeys with shotguns.

Gobble gobble gobble!

The PC Gamer band of brothers lock arms and rush headlong into the fray, discussing every bit of PC gaming news that crossed our radar this week on the latest episode of the PC Gamer podcast. Everything from Bioware teasing their next game to how successful Black Ops’ latest patch is at eliminating the game’s technical issues for our editors to what really happened at Activision-owned Bizarre Creations and Budcat Creations this week. Oh yeah, and Windows Live Marketplace launched–but should you care?

Click me and enjoy the madness.

We managed to carve out an hour and seventeen minutes (before succumbing to radio propaganda attacks from the U.S.S.R.) today to address the state of Call of Duty: Black Ops on PC. Logan, Evan, Andy, former intern Erik Belsaas and Stan Press from Astro Gaming convene to share their multiplayer and single-player impressions and thoughts on the patience-hampering stuttering issue many players are still experiencing.

And as we monitor Dan’s conversion to zombiehood while he’s at home in sick-quarantine, he guides us our chat on UK retailers’ claim that Steam is “killing the PC market,” which has sparked a massive comment thread on this-here website.

The Supreme Court has been abuzz with talk of video games lately as they tackle the question of whether or not states are allowed to ban minors from buying violent video games. But you don’t have to read through hours of transcripts to find out what’s going on–our heritage-based legal counselor, Dan Stapleton tells us what’s going on in that big white court of theirs. We also prepare for the end of the world…of Warcraft as the first signs of the Cataclysm creep out of Azeroth, discuss who want to win this weekend’s StarCraft II MLG tournament, find out how excited we are for CoD: Black Ops, and of course, answer listener questions.

Activision’s CEO said some funnier things about independent developers.

  In response, we grabbed our Important Red Telephone and rung up two developers from an independent studio developing a PC-exclusive shooter. John Gibson (President and, notably, a gun collector) and Alan Wilson (Vice President) from TripWire Interactive (creators of Killing Floor, Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45, and upcoming sequel Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad) join us to talk about the state of both scenes on the PC. We also check in on Chris’ Civilization V binging and Evan’s favorite mod.

These questions, along with everything you wanted to know about PAX can be answered in the next 76 minutes of your life if you listen to this podcast. Don’t tell me that you’re not curious why a man was giving out diamonds to playtesters; what we thought of the great Houdini of PC gaming (Duke Nukem Forever), Red Orchestra: Heroes of Stalingrad and Torchlight 2 after playing them on the floor; what the most popular game was; and everything else that we saw, experienced, and even hope to forget about this year’s fanfest in Seattle. You want to know; we want to tell you. So stop reading this and crank up the podcast.

  On today’s podcast, Evan, Josh, Dan, and Erik recap the results of yesterday’s office StarCraft 2 tournament and offer their first thoughts on the launch of the game, the campaign (spoiler-free, of course), and Blizzard’s mostly issue-less worldwide launch of one of the biggest multiplayer games of all time. Yesterday’s SC2 tourney champ, Tyler Nagata, senior editor at GamesRadar, also joins us.

  At the end of today’s episode we interview “HDStarcraft,” one of the prominent StarCraft 2 professional match broadcasters in the SC2 community. If we can encourage you to subscribe to one YouTube channel (after ours), let it be HD’s elegant, entertaining StarCraft commentary.

  Dan bravely leads his crew of Josh, Evan, Erik, and Robert to the farm to steal copious amounts of cheese and talk about the Cataclysm beta, Heroes of Newerth, Portal 2, and lasing targets in Homefront.

  On this week’s show Evan, Josh, Eric, Robert, and waveform-oligist Andy talk about Portal 2’s new techniques, the upcoming summer game lineup (is Singularity worth playing?) and debate the sustainability of the tank, healer, DPS “trinity system” seen in most modern MMOs.

  We recorded just before the Counter-Strike: Source update rolled out yesterday, so look forward to commentary on that next week. While you’re here, watch the incredible, feline-threatening ad Andy made for us. Our recent history of pointing weapons at cats continues.
