The end-of-the-year show!

We talk one subject: The Legend of Zelda series.

What happens when an unsuspecting Halo enthusiast gets sucked into a podcast about nothing? Apparently, more nothings.

What are we thankful for this Thanksgiving? For one, an incredibly low level of taste.

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.

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.

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

Episode 115. It’s the JPAG Show, Barrel Roll, Joystiq Podcast, X3F Fancast, I Am Error, and the SideQuest all rolled into one glorious PAX-cast.
