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.
Just a week after the release of the Tapezilla War Game Generator, Pete, Bob and a very special guest riff on everything from Fable 2 and Fallout 3 to Gallop & Ride and Safe Cracker. The guys also give their opinions on all of November’s big releases in the now monthly feature - The Monthly Games Round-Up.
Don’t forget to subscribe to the podcast

@Bob - I guess that’s the most I’ve ever laughed in an hour and a half too
November 4th, 2008 at 9:49 pm
great show! keep em cumming. bob ya gotta cut drac and sign son of jeffers.
November 4th, 2008 at 11:18 pm
pete said his fallout 3 review would be the event to define a generation or something. he didnt seem too into it though.
my favorite moments involved putting slave collars on random people.
November 5th, 2008 at 12:46 am
jefferson is an insane laughing maniac.
November 5th, 2008 at 1:38 am
Color me surprised. Jefferson fit in perfect
November 5th, 2008 at 10:02 am
Jefferson rules. His monster friend’s mic is awesome.
November 5th, 2008 at 10:07 am
Tried telling you that jefferson should just be a full time guy at this point. He adds games to the show and his laugh is money in the bank
November 5th, 2008 at 10:11 am
BTW the fart at the end of the episode was RJ.
November 5th, 2008 at 12:56 pm
Guess again.
November 5th, 2008 at 1:36 pm
Nah first guess was good. Sounded like you. I have previous occurances on tape to support my claim
November 5th, 2008 at 1:39 pm
Yeah, that’s definitely Bob. I’ve heard him fart countless times, and that’s got his signature sound.
November 5th, 2008 at 2:04 pm
I like that you guys know his boons by heart.
November 5th, 2008 at 2:55 pm
It appears that Pete missed a new game during the monthly round-up. Hidden within the mountainous pile of shovelware is Animal Crossing for the Wii which releases on Nov. 18. Yes, I will be picking that one up.
November 5th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
Great show. Probably the funniest. Let’s have Peter, Bob, Jefferson AND Drac.
November 5th, 2008 at 4:05 pm
Love Petes true blood summary

Hey great show guys….I didn’t get to listen while Jefferson was recording in my studio; I was too busy drinkin’ massive amounts of scotch and smoking non filtered Lucky’s in preparation for a movie trailer voice over. I must say despite the fact that the last video game I played had either Doom or Duke Nukem in the title, I found this funny……
November 6th, 2008 at 2:51 am
hey pete have you met up with harold yet? i didnt play any of the other fallouts but i’m assuming he is from the original?
November 6th, 2008 at 8:48 am
harold is a ghoul in fallout 1. he’s a ghoul with a little treet sprouting out of his head in fallout 2. the progression continues in FO3, that’s all I’ll say.
November 6th, 2008 at 10:29 am
Great show. Do you guys know how many listeners you get each episode?
November 6th, 2008 at 3:37 pm
First show so far I’ve listened to on release, listened to the whole series this week. Great stuff as always.
But being from the UK, I always get lost in the fucking sports discussions.
November 6th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
dont worry, so does Pete (and he lives in the US)

November 7th, 2008 at 12:23 pm
Awesome cast guys, Jefferson for a regular cast member!
November 7th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
I like the cast of 3 from the last show
November 7th, 2008 at 2:27 pm
Yeah and Drac. He’s good too.
November 7th, 2008 at 2:48 pm
No Drac and no DracPhan is what I say. Drac can now be what jefferson was. A man who has to wait every 5 episodes to get invited back on.
November 7th, 2008 at 2:50 pm
That’s a great idea, Deuce!
- Deucephan (formerly Dracphan)
November 7th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
HAHA ok. To be fair i think Drac is good for the show but he’s always too busy with concerts, laundry, marches on washington, electric problems, and doing his cyber ham sandwhiches. If he could make time then I’d say just add jefferson and make it a 4 man show. Until then I say roll with last episode’s lineup cause it was a great episode
November 7th, 2008 at 5:16 pm
this is hilarious. http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/286599.html?playlist=featured
November 7th, 2008 at 5:34 pm
Drac needs to find a new podcast to not care about. Oh and Bob needs to stop buying bad games
November 7th, 2008 at 8:11 pm
pete you see this?
http://youtube.com/watch?v=Kf8Ae-kafF0
November 7th, 2008 at 8:51 pm
Copa Zop. Copa Zop. I listen to your show in the car with my kids. Copa Zop. Copa Zop.
November 8th, 2008 at 4:32 am
Great musical picks with The Veronicas, and Meg and Dia. Do you guys have anymore girly pop-rock recommendations?
November 8th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
Aly & AJ. Don’t let the Disney label sway you.
November 8th, 2008 at 12:53 pm
I like a lot of different music, as long as it’s chick singers doing punkpop or rockpop.
November 8th, 2008 at 1:47 pm
in case you weren’t being sarcastic… other than M&D and veronicas (both excellent), I also like some doses of paramore and go betty go.. uh… flyleaf… the dollyrots… and, of course, the fat boys.
November 9th, 2008 at 6:51 am
Ended up really liking Flyleaf.
November 9th, 2008 at 8:44 am
Wooooow. ChuckNorris kicks ass in Fallout3. Thanks for the post, Kornkurlz.
November 10th, 2008 at 10:42 pm
peter, are you gonna find the 5 holotapes to get the experimental whatever? i cant decide if its worth it.
November 11th, 2008 at 1:02 pm
experimental what?
November 11th, 2008 at 2:38 pm
damnit, i’m going through withdrawals…where’s the new episode. and tell Drac to get on the podcast. or his family will die or something.
November 11th, 2008 at 2:46 pm
No one cares about Drac any more. Last show was the best yet and he wasn’t there so you got to wonder.
November 11th, 2008 at 4:19 pm
its basically the “fatman” but it can shoot 8 nukes at once. its in the national guard weapons depot.
November 12th, 2008 at 4:13 pm
Cant wait for the new episode TOMORROW!
November 12th, 2008 at 5:14 pm
I hope it’s just Pete, Jefferson, and mabe Bob
November 12th, 2008 at 10:22 pm
bonkers, you do realize that bob is the glue that holds this thing together right? albeit not very adhesive glue.
November 13th, 2008 at 10:14 am
“…together like a couple of true man” ? Humm.
November 13th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
I still like Drac, he’s the funniest to me. Pete has anger issues and hates everything and likes sounding like an old Jewish woman. Probably daddy abuse, but hey, I’m no doctor.
November 13th, 2008 at 11:46 pm
Bob IS the glue, as Pete and I discovered tonight… oof. That experiment didn’t work out so well!
November 14th, 2008 at 12:39 am
a show without bob? never thought it would happen!
November 14th, 2008 at 12:23 pm
sounds like it didn’t
November 14th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
all good things come to an end
November 14th, 2008 at 5:00 pm
I should have never have sold that damn samurai sword to Drac http://www.break.com/trutv-crazy-stupid-vids/soaked-samurai.html
November 14th, 2008 at 5:04 pm
so thats where dracs been all this time?
November 15th, 2008 at 3:30 am
as I said on twitter, we TRIED it, but it became obvious very quickly that a show with just me and drac wasn’t working.. well, it’d probably be okay if we had some structure and had things planned out and so forth, which we rarely do… and since we didn’t, it was difficult to make a show. SORRY! I’ll have plenty of things to say about gears 2 next time (and mirror’s edge, for that matter).
November 15th, 2008 at 3:31 am
oh, and one other thing, anyone here getting left 4 dead? robert and I will be playing it, and jefferson — (and maybe drac, who knows) but since this is a game that’s really only great when you’re co-oping, the more people who might wanna play the better. anyone else who’s going to be playing left 4 dead, speak up.
November 15th, 2008 at 3:44 am
Seems like Pete’s the only one that could keep a schedule.
November 15th, 2008 at 6:20 am
Blacula’s alter ego is Blade,
November 16th, 2008 at 7:36 am
haaaaaaaaaaam,mmmered. why is tapezilla the second website i visit upon returning to ma dorm? fuuuck uintgjUIY9
November 16th, 2008 at 1:58 pm
because it would seem you’re NOT too busy banging chicks to go to it? good job.
November 16th, 2008 at 6:14 pm
peter. you are the 40 year old virgin in ever meaning of the phrase. i guarantee my resume is far more distinguished than yours
November 17th, 2008 at 8:20 am
Pete keeps a schedule cause he is without work. Therefore you can do what you want. And to be fair I seen one of the chicks pete hooked up with and she was dumb hot so I’ll say Pete may have the upper hand there
November 17th, 2008 at 11:53 am
Pete “works” — he does the Zuda thing.
November 17th, 2008 at 11:58 am
Pete and Drac couldn’t do a show because there’s too much sexual tension between them. Ha! Yeah I went there.
November 17th, 2008 at 12:13 pm
Enough with the excuses just do a fucking shooooow
November 17th, 2008 at 1:10 pm
yeah because pete plows that ass right?
November 17th, 2008 at 1:15 pm
Left 4 Dead, it’s going to be awesome. Amen to that.
November 17th, 2008 at 2:08 pm
Pete gets all the dicks, I mean *cough* chicks.
November 17th, 2008 at 3:25 pm
but seriously, pete seems pretty outgoing. why is he the only one of the three without a flyhoney?
November 17th, 2008 at 3:41 pm
‘Cause he’s a Playa. Can’t stay with one hoe.
November 17th, 2008 at 4:07 pm
watch out for dem herps but yeh play on playa
November 17th, 2008 at 4:26 pm
Yeah, Pete, watch out for the hivs. You too Drac.
November 17th, 2008 at 4:34 pm
I don’t have a chick because I’m currently living at “home”. you don’t bring broads home unless you’re 17.
November 17th, 2008 at 4:48 pm
you live with your mom? i thought you just got a new apartment in monsterville or something?
November 17th, 2008 at 4:53 pm
I’m GOING to get a new apartment early next year. and it ain’t monsterville.
November 17th, 2008 at 5:03 pm
yo i’ve pretty much exausted fallout 3 to the max. do you think its worth it to trade that and dead space in for gears 2?
November 17th, 2008 at 5:38 pm
Gears never disappoints. Dead Space was repetitive as hell anyways. I say trade ‘em in.
November 17th, 2008 at 6:10 pm
All of Ohio is Monsterville.
November 18th, 2008 at 1:00 am

November 18th, 2008 at 9:27 pm
The show was recorded, by the way. Pete’s handling the editing.
November 19th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
Copa Zop. Copa Zop. Pete has no job and still doesn’t contribute. Copa Zop. Copa Zop.
November 19th, 2008 at 4:37 pm
copa zop suddenly became uncool.
if you think it’s fast or fun to edit a show with 4 different people tracks (including a drunken jefferson) that goes 2 hours, think again.
November 19th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
I’m getting left 4 dead on friday or saturday. there better be people to play it with.
November 19th, 2008 at 8:47 pm
Is it done? I mean, the show?
November 19th, 2008 at 10:17 pm
“RULAR RAH….and peter”
November 20th, 2008 at 9:22 pm
Copa Zop. Copa Zop. Pete dropped the ball. Copa Zop. Copa Zop.
November 21st, 2008 at 3:07 am
I’m doing it right now. last time I tried my computer froze up before I even got all 4 tracks imported. it’s an extra dude and an extra long show. do the math.
November 21st, 2008 at 9:57 am
What exactly is there to edit anyways?
November 21st, 2008 at 2:49 pm
I did it early this morning, still waiting on these guys to post it. don’t blame me.
editing is more painstaking than you might imagine, although less so than it used to be. I have to clean up any parts that are too rough, remove or censor things that we aren’t supposed to say — sometimes remove segments that suck, or put in stuff that amuses me. by necessity it takes at least a bit longer to edit than it does to listen to the whole thing, in a best case scenario. usually it takes considerably longer.
November 21st, 2008 at 4:11 pm
Understandable that it’d take 4 days then.
November 21st, 2008 at 4:34 pm
sigh
November 21st, 2008 at 7:23 pm
it’s been ready since 6am this morning. these guys won’t update the site. fuck them, not me.
November 21st, 2008 at 7:44 pm
Yeah, cause we have jobs. Bob had to do a slight edit. It’s up now, you mean BITCH!
