Tired of gaming podcasts being so pretentious and boring, some current and some former gaming industry folks have gotten together to form Tapezilla—a weekly dose of gaming updates, news and humor, including the now infamous Shenmue prank calls. Tapezilla finally drags the 'gaming podcast' out of the mundane, uninteresting and self-important quicksand it's been stuck in for far too long.
It’s a show about nothing. In the most tangential episode of Tapezilla yet, the guys briefly discuss Bionic Commando: Rearmed, Fable 2 Pub Games, Braid and Fallout, while also touching on baseball, the Jonas Brothers and the death of Sugar Ray Robinson.

On the very special Olympics episode of Tapezilla, all 3 guys are present to discuss last week’s big release - Soul Calibur IV. Tempers flare over who possesses the greatest sword swinging skills, though, leaving only one way to resolve the situation. Other topics include PAX and Alone in the Dark 4 and how awful both are, Pete’s obsession with undead nurses and the reason why Dual Shocks should be very, very scared of Bob.

After a disappointing E3, the guys get together for a little E3 roundtable, discussing both the best and worst of the show. Other topics include how NeoGAF nerds ruined samurai swords, Pete’s new favorite natural disaster, Titan Quest, and everyone wonders just what the hell is so special about Little Big Planet.

In our first E3 impressions episode, the guys put forth a valiant and mostly successful effort to talk about relevant games of the day, rather than games of Old. Fallout 3, Resident Evil 5, Gears 2, Final Fantasy XIII, and the garbage that is “You’re In The Movies” are discussed. Also, Tapezilla breaks the news about a brand new Microsoft handheld (or so Pete thinks).

On the special E3 2008 Preview edition of Tapezilla, the boys get together to give you the least relevant pre-show coverage in the history of the industry. Games discussed include Jade Empire, Star Fox Assault, BioShock and Xena… oh, and a handful of games that’ll actually be shown at the show.

The band is back together on the slightly delayed third episode of Tapezilla. An over-tired Pete shares his opinions on the Virtual Boy, Alone in the Dark and even John Ritter, while Bob and Drac discuss Snake’s lengthy healing process and give away another PS2 game (one even better than Mojo!, if you can believe it).

In the second episode, Bob and Pete handle the show alone, as Dracula’s mysterious absence from the taping raises some questions. Pete hypes Fallout 3 and touches on Ninja Gaiden 2 again, while Bob’s wrapped up in MGS4 and Hot Shots Golf Open Tee 2. Drac’s still there in spirit, however, when the boys debut his two latest prank calls.

In the debut episode, Peter gives his very, VERY detailed impressions of Ninja Gaiden 2, while Bob fills everyone in on Hot Shots Golf Open Tee 2 and pimps a handful of totally awesome Wii Ware titles. Dracula, not having played much of anything last week, presents the first Shenmue prank call, as well as a call to Fred - a man who simply wanted to sell his PS2, but ended up getting his balls busted.
