Well look at that; 9 episodes have come and gone, and with this final episode, we say goodbye to Name Forthcoming forever...

But it's not all that bad. Jason, Raymond, Nate, and Scott are actually moving forward to work on a podcast with Crush! Frag! Destroy!'s Rob Thomas, which will fly the CFD! banner. So though the show in name may be gone, its spirit lives on.

So join the crew as they discuss what they've been playing these past few weeks and reminisce over the previous episodes. Thanks to anyone who has listened, and look forward to us appearing on Crush! Frag! Destroy! in the coming weeks. Until then.

The Name Forthcoming crew returns after a small recess, joined this week by Crush! Frag! Destroy!'s Rob Thomas. Rather than ramble endlessly about all the happenings at E3 this year, each cast member has a constructed a "Top 5" list of what they saw at the conference. Where does the Wii Vitality Sensor land on Raymond's list? Tune in to find out!

In honor of some sport's draft, we here at Name Forthcoming decided to hold our own draft for the upcoming year. Setting aside the normal formula of what we've played and news for this week, Scott, Nate, Jason, and Raymond have compiled their top 10 list of games they are looking forward to this year. There are some surprises, some debate, and even some bad sounding audio due to a weak connection at the time of the recording. Please enjoy, and feel free to leave your own draft picks below with some comments alongside them -- we will read those next week. Until then!

Well holy crap, it's been a long time! How are you? I like your haircut. Oh this scar? I got into a fight with a pterodactyl. Enough about me, though. It's business time.

This week sees me, Nate, and Jason gathering to talk about games that have mostly been out for at least a month, meaning the slew of great releases is perhaps finally slowing down. Catch your breath now. GTA Chinatown wars, Henry Hatsworth, the Legend of Princess (a free PC game in the style of Zelda. Check it out), NHL09, Dawn of War 2 and others make up what we've been playing.

Outside of what we've been playing, the gang also mulls overs news, the Star Wars Expanded Universe, and the Beatles game. Late in the episode, Jason and myself share a moment where we discover a shared love for ska. See if you notice the impact it has on the musical selection for this episode!

As always, thanks for listening!

The podcast sees a reduction in cast, as both Nate and Josh are not able to attend the recording, leaving Scott and the hunks Jason and Raymond to ramble on in their honor. Among other things, the crew discusses Resident Evil 5, Henry Hatsworth, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, Battlestar Galactica, and rebooting Star Wars.

"After a week off, the Name Forthcoming crew returns in full force!"

... is what I would say if that were true. However, Josh disappears mere minutes before recording the podcast. Has Steven Totilo enacted revenge for Josh's call-out last episode? Only time will tell!

However, we do have special guest Raymond joining the show to provide, if nothing else, excellent tips on how to get your wife to up and leave you. In addition to the marital advice, we discuss Mad World, Phantasy Star Portable, Dawn of War II, Burnout Paradise, AudioSurf, and more!

This episode also marks the end of the Mother 3 community playthrough. We discuss the ending as well as our overall impressions of the game. Lastly, we narrow down the list of games for the next playthrough to Dead Space (multi), No One Lives Forever (PC), and Mirror's Edge (Muti). Leave some feedback as to what you'd like to play!

Steven Totilo, Josh demands your gamer card.

Ahem. Welcome to another episode of Name Forthcoming, the podcast that promises it will get a real name some day.

This week's episode is left in the hands of Scott, Josh, and Jason as Nate falls mysteriously ill after a long discussion concerning 50 Cent. Apart from learning the definition of "pizzle", the gang also discusses Street Fighter IV, Killzone 2, Space Invaders Extreme, and others. Jason bares his soul, and reveals he isn't actually good at playing video games, and Scott and Josh are left to discuss news when, in Name Forthcoming tradition, Jason is randomly dropped from the recording.

Join myself, Jason, Josh, and Nate as we converse over the games we are currently playing (such as Flower, Valkyria Chronicles, Savage Moon, Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, Left 4 Dead and more) as well as continue the Mother 3 community playthrough discussion.
