GameTrust Podcast 19: Plexigas Edtion

And That's Saying Something.

Yeah, I spelled that right. It's the plexi "Gas" edition. Listen to the podcast and you'll get it. Anyway, Ivey, Matthew, and Allie join forces to bring you an insightful but very funny GameTrust Podcast. Allie turns into our personal laugh track.

We discuss Batman 3, Playstation's new Netflix app, Halo Reach, and our discussion of the week has to do with the gap of violence and sex in the ratings system. Why is there such a disconnect between the two? Believe me we all have opinions about that.


GameStop is having some great deals this month so make sure you check those out in the deal section after the break.

Inception: My Different Take



Inception is a great movie. It’s everything this movie goer could want. It has the escapism of Avatar, the superb story telling of The Dark Knight, the metaphysical headiness of The Matrix, and heist and espionage elements of movies like Ocean’s 11 and Where Eagles Dare. Some would say it has it all.

Inception dives into our brains and causes us to ponder a part of ourselves that we rarely, if ever, have control of--Our dreams. It makes one ponder about the reality of the world we live in and the meaning of life all together. For that reason this movie is not for everyone. Following the break you will not find a review of the movie but a look at its themes and questions. If you would like a well written review head over to Ebert’s review. If you’d like to see how it relates to the family see Plugged-In Online’s review. I agree with both wholly. Warning spoilers will follow the break>>

Weekend Movie Review Round up

Thinking about about going to see a movie this weekend? Do you want to see if it's family friendly? Fear not I have Plugged-In Online's latest reviews. Plugged in is a family organization run by Focus on the Family. I encourage you to read there reviews before bringing kids out to any film.

I have not seen either of these films. I plan on seeing Inception with my wife, but don't care too much about The Sorcerer's Apprentice. It is curious to see Plugged-In recommend The Sorcerer's Apprentice with its sorcery theme. Read the review and come to your own conclusion on both movies.



Watch for my personal impressions regarding Inception next week. If you've seen the movies please email us your impression but it would be even better if you would post your impressions or recommendations below.

GameTrust Podcast 18: Joyful Edition


We're finally back. Yes, we know that you've been hovering over your computers DYING for us to post a new podcast. We here at The GameTrust would like to offer our deepest apologizes. It has been a month since our last podcast and that's about three weeks too long.

 

We hope you greatly enjoy the podcast as we discuss the ins and outs of the current portable gaming market and look at where it could be in the future. We discuss some wicked good deals on Dragon Quest IX and other DS games. If you don't know what 4k resolution is we also give our best explanations... to be honest we're not completely sure of the point of 4k. If you listen you'll understand. And as always we can't forget Krabby. He's our favorite Pokemon.
