Fantastic Neighborhood’s Rocking (Dick Joke) New Year’s Eve

Published on January 4, 2013 by Protoaddict in Episodes

This was a tough one to finish. So many friends, so many fun times. 2012…

First up, we talk with some close friends of the show (Ryan Hewson of Perpetual Geek Machine, Harold Price of Cross Border Gaming, and Will Gallego) about their top picks for 2012! What games made the cut? You’ll have to listen.

Then Jon and Fred go into another new yearly tradition, the Hoodie awards, or Hoodies for short. The Hoodies celebrate the best of the, well, whatever categories we pick. We also have a special guest judge at one point, Rich Coonelly of PerpetualGeekMachine.net!

We close the show with sad gamer obituaries, new years resolutions, bold predictions for 2013, remembering some of the bands we may have broken up over the course of the year, and a special thank you to everyone who made 2012 a Fantastic Neighborhood year. We also premier the long lost last song from Measured in Grey to end the show.

Fantastic Neighborhood 38: Halo 4 More Years

Published on November 8, 2012 by Jon Anderson in Episodes

Welcome to the political throwdown. The election’s over, but the gaming goodness has just begun. While Fred skipped out on gaming, with the exception of seeing Wreck-It-Ralph, Jon dove straight into Halo 4, which won the election for his heart (this week). He kind of likes it. LEGO Batman 2: DC Superheroes and Borderlands 2 and Legends are charming third-party candidates. Batman is only $7.50 on Amazon right now. Fantastic Neighborhood also congratulates Maine State Senator Elect, and avid WoW player, Colleen Lachowicz.

Game Club gets its Russian on in Metro 2033. The conclusion will be next week. Speaking of next week, we’ll be doing a special on console launches, so call us with your console launch memories.

Oh, and the East Coast is still pretty fucked up, so donate a little cash, if you’re able. To make a quick $10 donation, text REDCROSS to 90999.

Fantastic Neighborhood 37: Spooktacular?

Published on October 31, 2012 by Jon Anderson in Episodes

Despite the hurricane and public transit shutdown, Fred and I (Jon) scraped (Skyped) together…something. After a spooky start, we chat RiffTrax, Dishonored, trying to get back to Borderlands 2, Argo, and playing Streets of Rage with a significant other. A less-than-tastefully named Hype section features Sega polygonal classics, Wreck-It Ralph, and Skyfall. Game Club features the penultimate chapter of Telltale’s The Walking Dead.

On a serious note, while we complain about having to Skype a podcast, we both fared really well in the hurricane. We lost nothing, not even cable. We’re both from the East Coast, and I spent my formidable years (read: high school) at the Jersey Shore, an area devastated by this storm. Our thoughts are with everyone who is struggling right now, but having people in your thoughts or prayers is the same as doing nothing, and the American Red Cross can always use help. Donate a little cash, if you’re able. To make a quick $10 donation, text REDCROSS to 90999. If you’d prefer to help out some four-legged, winged, or slithering friends in need, text HUMANE to 80888 to send $10 to the American Humane Association.

This week’s musical choices, except for the werewolf thing, reflect our love for our home states:

Bouncing Souls – “East Coast! Fuck You!
Tracey Morgan – “Werewolf Bar Mitzvah”
The Promise Ring – “Jersey Shore”
Talib Kweli featuring Rakim – “Subway Surfing’”
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band “4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)”
