Episode 208. We took an unexpectedly long hiatus, but we’re back (again) for the second time this Summer! There isn’t much to say, except for: no babies, new writers, and Ryan Gan’s ability to hold composure.

In this episode: Singularity, Ryan Gan gets a job, John Parie joins the crew, and Timeless Video Game Visuals.

Episode 206. We were going to record separate shows for Day 2-4, but then E3 turned into E3 and we were murdered with news and hands-on to write about. (By the way, how do you like our coverage?  Snazzy, eh?)  To make up for it we record a mega-show, covering Nintendo & Sony’s press conferences and our top 3 games each.

Epic!

Episode 205. Dali, Ryan, and Nathan invade E3!  We spent our first day at Microsoft, NOT getting a new 360, and drinking with Eminem and Rihanna at Activision’s party.  Join us as we discuss!

Episode 204.

Dali, Yaniv, and Mike are finally rejoined by Ryan, who has awakened from his hibernation to spill the beans about Alan Wake‘s greatness.  Mike discusses his sourness on Red Dead Redemption.  Yaniv plays a game (for realz!) and Dali is still trudging through Final Fantasy XIII, but spares the recap and decides against damaging the ears of the listeners.

Also: E3 predictions!
Steam on XBox? Grand Theft Auto V? Star Fox? Killzone 3?  Yup!

Welcome to the SideQuest, your semi-weekly podcast devoted to gaming, culture, and gaming culture, with the occasional tangent.

Episode 203. Dali, Yaniv and Nathan talk a little bit about Red Dead Redemption, Pokemon, and Battlefield Bad Company 2, before discussing some truly important gaming news: GoogleTV, Android Apps, and J Allard leaving Microsoft. Finally, the discussion switches to a show that no one has heard about before, LOST.

Dali crunches chips, Nathan changes diapers, and Yaniv professes his undying hate for all children.  A marquee show, by all accounts.

Episode 202. It’s just Dali and Mike this week, discussing what we’ve been playing, some news, and iPads.  Dali talks about all of the Detroit musicians he’s met, and Mike calls him out on it.  Lots, and lots, and lots of drinking takes place, mostly by Mike.

It’s the first episode of the second season of The Sidequest, and the guys buckle it down and present to you A FANTASTIC SHOW! Dali, Mike and Yaniv sat down and put their voices to tape just so you could download it, enjoy it, and then tell everyone about it.

As we dive head first into the second season of The Sidequest we wear, instead of shorts, a new show format: We start it off with a great bit of “What are You Up 2,” swing it right into a discussion about Mike Wehner’s iPad review, and finally rounding it off with some nonsensical babble that no one could follow. Enjoy!

Episode 130. We’re sure on a roll!  Not one, but TWO podcasts this week!  Ryan and Dali are closing out PAX East 2010, so the conversation revolves around drinking, gaming, journalism, and drinking.  We touch on some of the upcoming games from the floor, cosplay, and JPAG love.  Oh, and Happy 1st Birthday, SideQuesting!

Episode 129,with special friend Taylor Bliss!  Here’s a game for you to play, in honor of Taylor’s porn star name, notice every single sexual innuendo we subtly throw out during this show! We talk iPhone games, regular games, PAX east, and movies. Also, our internet sucks hard, so there are breaks in speech at every turn, but don’t get discouraged, its still a great episode!

Welcome to the SideQuest, your semi-weekly podcast devoted to gaming, culture, and gaming culture, with the occasional tangent.

This show is vulgar, disgusting, irrefutable, vile, and will probably stop me from EVER holding public office. Its also pretty entertaining, and we do talk a little about video games… Dali still has a baby, Kevin and I (Yaniv) were at the Olympics, and Mike, well he’s not doing anything special at all. THIS is The Sidequest. Or maybe its the SideQuesting podcast, the Sidecast? Whatever.

Welcome to the SideQuest, your semi-weekly podcast devoted to gaming, culture, and gaming culture, with the occasional tangent.

It looks like the show this week is a little earlier than usual!  And lucky for you, dear viewer, its a tad more organized. We’re joined again by devoted listener and friend, Joshua Arnold, we talk about Dali’s strange sex life, MAG, LOST, and the podcast goes off the edge of a cliff when Dali leaves and is replaced by Ryan. Then again, even Ryan has his own ‘Shocking’ charms, so tune in and enjoy this latest episode of The SideQuest.

Episode 125. It took us a while, but episode 125 is here.  We’re joined by Holly Attesi of TheXBoxDomain to have incredibly dysfunctional mayhem.  Mike is the XBox Gamer of the Week.  Dali needs to wash a baby. Yaniv wants more days off.

Episode 123. The podcast that never ends!  We talk one subject: The Legend of Zelda series.  Thanks to the recently released LoZ: Spirit Tracks, we have a terrific amount of Zelda buzz here on the SQ airship.  We’ve assembled a mighty cast of Zelda experts to discuss (in excruciatingly long detail) the games that shaped our Zelda youth and hopes for the future.

Episode 122. What happens when an unsuspecting Halo enthusiast gets sucked into a podcast about nothing?  Apparently, more nothings.  Dustin Burg (aka the Internet’s Superdunner) falls victim to starring in an episode of the SideQuest.  We talk some news, what we have & haven’t been consuming (including ice cream cake), and avoid talking about LOST.  Oh, and games.  Yeah, games.

Episode 121. What are we thankful for this Thanksgiving?  For one, an incredibly low level of taste.  In this week’s show we babble on about what we’ve been playing, Black Friday, shopping for new vs used games, and videogame porn titles.

Episode 120.  We talk about the biggest game release this holiday season: Coldstone Creamery: Scoop It Out! for the Wii.  Err, we mean Modern Warfare 2.  From viral marketing to online and single player, we cover all the prerequisite bases.  Plus, we corner Justin McElroy into discussing odd toys of seduction.

Episode 119.  Mike Wehner makes his triumphant return as the podcast derails from the get-go.  NPDs are discussed, as well as SideQuest Babiez, Mike’s iPhone creations, and a lot of nothingness.  Yes, a lot.

Welcome to the SideQuest, your semi-weekly podcast devoted to gaming, culture, and gaming culture, with the occasional tangent.

Episode 118.  Ryan Gan ditches us for Darkest of Days so instead we decided to fill his silence with the silence of another Ryan, our new podcast editor! In today’s episode there is more Muramasa, and then various other gaming discussion with a distracted Yaniv and his affair with IL-2 Strumovik.  Who knew that two-person podcasts could be so much fun.

Episode 117.  We’re joined by Shane Bettenhausen of Ignition (formerly of 1UP) and Sam Houston of GamerDNA to talk a little bit about the PAX Pox, switching from reviewing games to developing them, the magic of Skype and dropped calls, and Ryan buying a PS3.  We spend a good amount of time talking about Muramasa and Nostalgia, and how games inspired by classic experiences still matter.  At least to a few of us.

Episode 116.  Dali bails on the troops, failing to even show up for the program.  The result?  A surprisingly fantastic episode.  Who knew that planning a podcast agenda would actually work out, eh?  The boys talk about PAX, some gaming news, and what they’ve been up to in preparation for the big gaming Fall season.

Welcome to the SideQuest, your semi-weekly podcast devoted to gaming, culture, and gaming culture, with the occasional tangent.

Episode 114.  Yes, we’ve made it that far.  This week, we jibber-jabber about the PS3 Slim, Dali’s apology for being a WiiSports fanboy, and Yaniv’s vacation.  And somehow… SOMEHOW… we’re able to get an hour’s worth of entertaining podcasting.
