I’m sure that a fair share of you listen to podcasts about gaming or whatever else tickles your fancy. Well, I’ve been meaning to share this for quite a while, but I wanted to get it to just the right sweet spot of enjoyability before pushing it further upon the masses.

Robotronic Dynamite! is a weekly podcast recorded by myself and 3-4 other like-minded, handsome, gaming-entrenched fellows, in which we jam about videogames, movies, and sometimes television. We talk about what titles we’ve been digging into, sometimes we touch on news, and we try to check out the flicks that hit the theaters each week and usually end up inadvertently arguing about them and speeding off on a dozen other tangents.

Check it out, subscribe to it on iTunes, and let us know what you think. Is there anything you’d like to hear us talk about? You can even leave angry voice-mails via our blog!

Some content will most certainly be deemed explicit so, naturally, listen at your own discretion!

Addendum: Avoid the first few episodes, for your sanity’s sake.

This is pretty huge if it gets confirmed by Nintendo. Game Informer reported earlier that a whopping 90% of Nintendo’s Sales and Marketing employees will not be joining the company in their big move to New York and San Francisco.

Among these people are Perrin Kaplan, Vice President, Marking and Corporate Affairs; Senior Vice President, Marketing and Corporate Communications George Harrison; and Senior Director of Public Relations Beth Llewelyn.

Though when they’re leaving and to where they will flock next is anyone’s guess at the moment, the speculation game will likely be a widely played affair. Maybe they’re just taking the severance pay and avoiding the arduous move, but imagine if their paths lead to Sony or Microsoft.

Interesting food for thought, at least, and you can rest assured that we’ll keep you posted of any future developments on this newly-arisen bit of information!

It’s been rumored for a long time and, most recently, was the subject of an oft-cited article in Game Informer. Well, folks, the sparse mist enveloping the Xbox 360 Elite rumors has dissipated, making it officially a reality. Is anyone surprised? From older hearsay coming from Gamestop SKUs to blurry assembly line photos, the path of these rumblings has been followed closely with the keen eyes of many.

Now you’ll actually have room to, you know, store the things that you download from Xbox Live

This thing is pretty sexy, I guess! Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited about the prospect in general, but I can’t be the only one that also loves the bright white design of the original. Still, 120 GB hard drive? Way overdue. This is, of course, a very smart move for Microsoft– mostly because it gives people a lot more space to put all of those TV shows and Live Arcade games they’ll inevitably download. And hey, with the way those crazy Microsoft Points are designed, you’ll be spending the excess cash on even more random stuff than normal!

You’ll also find HDMI support is now available, along with the standard inclusion of a Silver Xbox Live membership and a one-month Gold Trial. When you look at the price difference between the Premium and the Elite, it’s a pretty sweet deal as a whole. To sweeten the reality of the Elite, they’ve also announced the addition of digital content provided by A&E, ADV, National Geographic, New Line and Total Vid. Paramount and Warner Bros. have jumped on the HD content wagon, as well.

Is Microsoft catching up to an early hard drive space mistake they made with the system? Did anyone think 20 gigs would ever cut it? Honestly, if I can pay a reasonable price for the larger hard drive by itself, then I won’t be terribly bitter that I didn’t buy a 360 until last July with absolutely no inkling that something like this would surface less than a year later. Now for the hardball question: when’s Live going to be free?

There you have it: if you want some next-gen PS3 Warhawk action, you’ll officially be restricted to the confines of Sony’s online multiplayer arena. These aren’t exactly cruel shackles, though. For my money, this suits Warhawk best in its entrance into a new world that may not remember when it first graced the PSone; a time that, frighteningly, now seems far in the past.

The modes present will go beyond your typical repeated attempts to blow everyone else up and declare your virtual dominance, ranging from territorial battles to the requisite capturing of flags. Though I may be in the minority that fondly recalls the original’s corny live-action cutscenes, they will be missed!

Well here’s something hot for those of us hungering for some more World War II action. Okay, Wii owners craving more WWII-themed games. Alright, fine, even if no one’s exactly starved for more war games, the prospect of some Remote/Nunchuk dogfighting does sound pretty sweet. Peep the first screens:

  

That’s actually not looking half bad. I mean, it’s no Wii Far Cry, but it’ll do. Seriously, though, if it delivers on half of what the release promises, then I might even put my weathered fatigues back on and return to the war.
