Episode 53: Rad Fincher and Super JoE
JoE Shieh
(0:00 - 7:03) Intro / Geometry Wars 2 or How Bryan Tarlowski Learned to Stop Worrying and Love JoE Shieh
Brandon and Shieh charge out the gates with a rundown on the newest iteration of the Geometry Wars series. Behold, as they jam on the game itself and provide accounts of the bloodiest high-score battle humanity has ever seen!
(7:03 - 19:58) Blow Blows Brandon's Brain with Braid Part I
Brandon and Shieh gush on the "artsy" and breath-taking experience that is Braid. In the first installment, they discuss the mechanics, art-style, and soundtrack of this delightful puzzle-platformer.
(19:58 - 29:04) Blow Blows Brandon's Brain with Braid Part II
In the finale of the two-parter, the duo begins to wax poetic with Braid's motifs and themes. They dissect a few of the theories on the meaning of Braid. Yea, dumb people should probably stop the 'cast right here, because all the smart could make their brains explode.
(29:04 - 43:12) Go Go Bionic Arm!
After waiting two long years, Rad Spencer finally parachutes onto our consoles and bless us with his journey to save Super Joe. With Brandon's nostalgic fuel mixed with Shieh's relative-newbie juice, the duo jams about the game with no avail... much like Rad Spencer executing dwarves in giant machines with extreme prejudice.
(43:12 - 48:10) Closing
It almost didn't happen this week, folks, but Brandon and Shieh stood up to the plate and delivered. With some closing notes on Jimmy's 48 Hour Film Fest entry, Gated Community Hookers, and prospects on next week's episode, Brandon and Shieh close the episode off by giving each other 1980's style freeze-frame high-fives.

The battle for pacifism didn't last long enough but it was fun. Damn these great games on xbox live coming out every week! Its been a great month for gaming because of this though. Brandon - Do more podcasts so I can hear your voice once a week at least!
just found this place via joystiq... how about a direct link to the audio? I had to steal it from the source code.
Hi Jason, welcome to the site! Shieh is actually going through and amending that as I type this, so you should be able to get your hands on the mp3s shortly.
Thanks!
