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.
Don’t forget to subscribe to the podcast

Why doesn’t Stevie B ever appear on the podcast (I was going to ask why he never comes on the podcast but thought better of it)?

The dreamcast shouldn’t need a boot disc, most of them just play burned games.
August 18th, 2008 at 10:52 am
stevie b never comes on because he’s afraid of any interaction with people outside of text, including with his own friends.
as for the boot key disc… at the time PR firms distributed pre-retail burns of dreamcast games that only worked if you used the boot key. I got it when I was working for IGNDC.

i had to get a chip to be able to play shenmue 2 but that was a region issue i guess. did anyone get the VMU for the chao babies in sonic adventure? that was off the heazie.
August 18th, 2008 at 4:54 pm
I’m pretty sure you could just burn a boot-disc..
August 18th, 2008 at 4:59 pm
Oh, and congratulations on taking 1st place. Woo what a comeback (well it’s not really over yet, but y’know.)
August 18th, 2008 at 7:49 pm
I don’t think Stevie B actually exists. However, still an awesome episode, albeit a complete waste of time.
August 18th, 2008 at 8:21 pm
If you think that was a waste of time, you better not listen to this week’s PlayerOne. At least Tapezilla’s entertaining. lol

September 4th, 2008 at 10:01 pm

September 4th, 2008 at 10:37 pm
We’ve got something special planned for the next episode. I think it might even be worth the wait.
September 4th, 2008 at 11:21 pm
it better be the debut of stb. he is the axe wielding man right?
September 5th, 2008 at 8:09 am
When they say they have something special planned it just means there gonna actually do an episode
September 5th, 2008 at 2:20 pm
I found this podcast and loved it so I caught up in about 3 days thinking a new one would be out soon anyways. I guess I should have paced myself more…
