“I’m actually cool, just give me like five tries to get it right.”

This week finds Brandon and Josh left to their own devices as they discuss Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, give some important advice to their teenage selves, bemoan the disastrous “launch” of Sim City, and veer off on more than a few tangents. Then, after the break, our lads discuss the inaugural episode of Anita Sarkeesian’s long-awaited Tropes vs. Women in Video Games series and answer some listener emails!

Gear up for almost four solid hours of back-and-forth about misogyny at the Academy Awards, female creators in male-dominated industries, heroines in peril, preposterous erections, revealing costumes, convention horror stories and much, much, much more.

boysvsgirls The long-awaited, oft-teased follow-up to last year’s extra-special gender politics episode is finally being recorded this SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAYYYY!

Our regular roster of Brandon, Tom, Josh and Harrison will be joined once again by Heidi, Jen, Emily, Naty, Sarah and– new to the discussion– frequent emailer (and last episode’s most vocal critic) Shadra to reopen the can of worms on sexism and feminism in comics, games, movies and more.. This time, however, the conversation will be a 10-member roundtable where both halves interact directly!

What, specifically, will we be talking about? That’s where you lovely listeners come in!

Have a particular topic you’d like to hear us weigh in on?

Have a question for the group at large or a specific participant?

Then send an email to podcast@jumpkickpunch.com or leave a comment on this post and we’ll do our best to include it in the discussion!

Be sure to submit your questions/concerns by this Sunday 3/3, no later than 12:00 Noon EST.

Thanks for listening, and stay tuned for next Tuesday when the episode will go live!

Tuck it in, everybody.

This week starts with some quick thoughts on Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, Skyrim DLC finally arriving on PS3, and Harrison’s unexpected immortality in Persona 4. Then Brandon, Harrison, Tom, Josh, and Eric (skyping in from NY) dive into the main event with detailed reactions to Sony official reveal of the PS4! Then, after the break, Josh offers you, our listeners, a shot into the new Marvel Heroes beta with a new contest and we tackle some listener emails!

Editor’s note: Skype attempted to auto-correct our levels against Eric’s thundering voice. Volume gets a bit twitchy.

JKP Bulletin: PS4 Podcast Delivers Wednesday

TUESDAY

Heads-up, JKPeers: Our recording date has shifted for this week to Tonight, TUESDAY the 26th.

That means the new episode won’t go live until Tomorrow: WEDNESDAY, March 27th, after I’ve had a chance to edit the thing and slap an image on it.

Sorry for the late notice, there. Tom’s employer is crackin’ the whip on him schedule-wise, and you wouldn’t want us to discuss the PS4 announcement without his unfettered optimism thrown in the mix, would you? We didn’t think so.

So, yeah. You practice patience and we’ll promise to make the extra day’s wait worth your while! Plus, next week’s episode is gonna be a big one, so stay tuned. We love you guys.

The PS4 is a thing, now! Sony has pulled the trigger on their new console, officially ushering in the next generation of video games. What a wild ride last Wednesday night was, huh? There was a lot to keep track of between all the buzzwords and slides and trailers and blazers.

Fortunately, I spent the night frantically hitting the screenshot hotkey. Hit the jump and we’ll spend these next few moments together reliving the magic and spectacle of that evening through awkward freeze-frames and knee-jerk reactions! After you, I insist.

(Obvious warning: this is going to be pretty image heavy.)

Helen, these artisan stars are exquisite.

This week kicks off as Brandon, Harrison, Tom and Josh dish on Bungie’s decade-long Destiny project and play catch-up with some minor Nintendo news. Then, after the break, Eric heaps some well-deserved praise upon Fire Emblem: Awakening in a new Tales From the North, Harrison brings out his old Atari Lynx and reveals its effectiveness as a bludgeoning instrument, and some last-minute predictions are made on the eve of Sony’s impending PS4 unveiling. Plus, listener emails!

Relax your body. Open your mind. Release the hostages. It’s Z-Time. And the love doctor is in.

As promised, Zack takes the helm this week– in his best wig and false glasses, to boot– and guides us through two and a half hours of Valentine’s Day-themed listener emails. Listen in as he shoves Brandon, Harrison, Josh and Tom through a carnival ride of painful memories, embarrassing confessions, sandwich preferences, and very definitely too many World War II jokes.

Hit the jump for this week’s lovey-dovey videos and some incredible photos of Love Doctor Zack!

Z-DAYisCOMING

As is our somewhat established tradition, next week’s Valentine’s Day-themed episode will be hosted by America’s sweetheart, Zack.

To make this occasion extra-special, Zack (and the rest of us) will be looking to read as many listener emails over the course of two hours as possible. We invite you, our readers/listeners/contributors, to solicit Zack’s invaluable wisdom and unique perspective for any and all of your romantic concerns or personal problems, real or fictional.

♥♥♥ email Zack: podcast@jumpkickpunch.com ♥♥♥

Relevant emails should be submitted by ~~Monday, 2/11~~ TUESDAY, 2/12. Zack will read them aloud, invariably mispronouncing your names and placing emphasis on whichever words he deems worthy.

Get excited and prepare as best you can. Z-Time is coming.

::UPDATE::

Good news, folks– if you’ve been sitting on an email draft, struggling to find the right words to properly convey your emotions, you have one more day to mull it over. Our recording night has shifted to TUESDAY of this week, meaning the new episode will go live on Wednesday evening (EST).

Try to contain your surging romantic impulses until then.
