Sonic's arch-nemesis took time for a brief call to morning radio jocks Opie & Anthony to talk about evil. It's a short clip but a great impersonation, and the duo's reactions are worthy a chortle or two. They're also NSFW, so keep the volume down if there are tender ears nearby. More »

Seventeen-year-old Jessica Cernadas is tired of the way she is treated online and games designed for men. She vents her frustrations in an NPR piece called "Why Do Girl Gamers Get So Little Respect?" Listen to it here. More »

A jury awarded $16 million to the family of a Sacramento-area woman who died in a 2007 radio stunt in which participants chugged water and held their bladders in order to win a Wii. More »

Sydney radio station 2UE are one of the biggest radio stations in Australia. And a reasonably respected one to boot. So it's a little strange/sad to see that, for the next three weeks, the station have changed their name to 2U-Wii. GET IT. This isn't a throwaway joke, either; every logo and watermark on the station's website bears the new, temporary 2U-Wii logo. 2UE: More »

X-Play co-host Adam Sessler joined Neal Conan on the NPR radio show Talk of the Nation earlier today to talk about the recent release of Grand Theft Auto IV. While the majority of the segment seemed to focus on relating GTA IV player experiences and informing the NPR audience on the realities, less so the media fantasies, of all things Grand Theft Auto, it took a dive about seven minutes in. That's when John "Jack" Thompson phoned in to drop his special brand of disinformation. More »
]]> http://kotaku.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=386340&view=rss&microfeed=true Rockstar's "Lazlow" (one of the game's DJs) made another appearance on the Opie and Anthony show this morning. This time he claimed that the Xbox 360's DLC is being worked on at the moment and could see the light of day as early as this summer. Not much was said about PS3 DLC other than he hoped to see it happen in the future. Our guess is that Microsoft will release the DLC whenever it works best with their general plan of attack—be that as soon as Rockstar finishes the content or months later—since paying $50 million and ruling a platform probably affords you such luxuries.

If you're like me you probably read the headline and thought: WTF? But apparently it's true. A DJ at east coast radio station WFMU will be playing Rock Band live on the air tomorrow morning with the help of some local listeners over LIVE (with the exception of the singers who will have to come to the studio). Now, I can kind of see this working from a vocals end if you cranked it up high enough, but all in all it seems a bit ridiculous and will likely leave many listeners confused. In a related note, if you tune in to the same station the following week you can listen to me dance the lead in Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake. More »

Once again, further proof that mainstream press shouldn't let just anyone cover games! National Public Radio's Chana Joffe-Walt has an interview with Halo: Contact Harvest author Joseph Staten. The book was a New York Times best seller, but Joffe-Walt couldn't care less. Not only is she ignorant about gaming, she's brings her own ill-informed prejudices to the the interview. There are exchanges like this: More »

Clicking blindly through Japanese websites, I came across this little jem which is genius. The Cyber FM Radio is an attachment that uses the DS Lite's GBA slot to turn your DS into a beach-toting, mini radio. FM frequencies range from 76.0 MHz - 90.0 MHz, so you can probably at least get NPR, but the website suggests that (translated from Japanese): More »

PlayStation 3 and Wii users around the world can now tune into Virgin Radio via their consoles.

According to the Sacramento Bee, ten employees of the radio station KDND (107.9, the end) have been fired for their role in a contest for a Nintendo Wii which allegedly lead to the death of one listener. In addition to the firing of the DJs and radio "personalities", the station also saw fit to cancel the "Morning Rave" program. More »

This time we've got a radio station (doing YouTube stuff, go figure) quizzing some guy named Daniel. Correct questions get him closer to the PS3. Wrong ones get the steamroller closer. The questions are tough — though, I so knew the Boxing Day question 'cos Alice at Wonderland explained it to me last week! The end result? PS3s can give steamrollers some air. Brian Ashcraft More »

Liver spotted luddite Bill O'Reilly, published novelist and TV and radio joke character, went off on a very fashionable rant this weekend. Calling gamers "know-nots" and equating them with drug addicts and alcoholics, the "no-spin" tool defines us as: More »

Major Nelson was on Level Up yesterday, Sirius Satellite's new radio show dedicated to video games. I'm just curious if anyone has checked the show out yet. Major Nelson says that the show is relatively basic and not really for hardcore gamers, that, combined with the fact that its on the Maxim channel, leads me to believe it sucks. Please tell me I'm wrong, we need a good video game radio show to match all of those good video game TV shows... oh, wait. More »
