Sockscast Game of the Year 2015 Day Two!
December 22nd, 2015

And here we are. The very top of the lists. The cream of the crop. Where the best battle it out in vicious Mortal Kombat to determine the Best Game Ever. No wait, that's Undertale, but how about John, Rhete, and Polly working through their 2015 Game of the Year lists with entries 5 through 1? It's all the thrills, chills, and action you could expect from one podcast as well as the final haul of listener-contributated listerinos.

And with that, the Sockscast bids adieu to 2015. Thanks to everyone for listening and we hope to keep you interested and/or laughing as we cruise on into 2016!

Much love, y'all.

December 6th, 2015

We finally managed to trick Ashley into joining in on our dumb podcast shenanigans for our final episode of the year before Game of the Year stuff kicks off, and this three and a half hour thing is the result. As the year winds down it finds John having his mind blown for five hours straight by Virtue's Last Reward's True Ending and sharing some pretty popular opinions about Super Mario World, Ashley's been in the world of Nep-Neps and fighting off zombie hordes and finishing Tales of Xillia 2, Rhete's been slaying mighty foes with just his bow and dealing with his own zombie outbreak, and Polly has been reading only memories.

This is our final call for Game of the Year lists, so fire yours off to podcast[at]socksmakepeoplesexy.net by December 17th or REGRET IT FOREVER!

November 8th, 2015

The Sockscast enters a brave new post-Bob Ross Marathon world and comes out swinging hard with John continuing his fascination with the Souls games, Rhete recounting his hilariously Japanese Cartoon adventures in Phantasy Star Online 2, and Polly being summoned back to Gamindustri once again to Nep-Nep as hard as she can. All that and a huge bag of news and listener questions that are sure to delight!

It's getting close to being that time of year again! Just like last year, we'll be reading some of your Game of the Year lists. So, it's time to start thinkin' about that, and conjure up a list of up to four games you loved that you played this year and write a little bit about each one. Then fire that little beast of a list off to podcast[at=sign]socksmakepeoplesexy.net!

Until next time. Happy podcasting, and god bless, my friends.

More Album Listening Goodness!
November 2nd, 2015

The SnS Album Listening Club podcast makes its long-anticipated return today, and I bet you're just thrilled as tits to hear that!

In this episode, we take a deep dive into Taylor's suggested listening material, the indie noise pop collective Deerhunter's Halcyon Digest. Upon its 2010 release, the album was met with consistently high critical praise, but does it have the same appeal for the listening club? Find out and enjoy some relaxing and somber tunes while you're at it!

If you have any suggestions or feedback on the new podcast, feel free to drop on over to the SnS forums and leave a comment in the topic I've created for this new show.

Introducing Polly Mario Bros.!
October 27th, 2015

If you listened to the latest episode of the Sockscast, you probably heard me talk at length about Andrew Kellogg's EXCELLENT Mario NES Builder. If you're like me and don't have a Wii U yet and can't get in on that sweet, sweet Mario Maker action, this is at least one really solid and easy to use substitute. No coding involved, no ROM patching, just a simple point and click editor that's easy to use.

You probably also heard that I was creating my own full Mario Bros. 1 game! Well, that game is now here and free to play for all!

It spans 5 worlds with 4 stages apiece and my aim was to create a balanced and fun experience with a lot of variety and a ramp up to a really solid challenge by the end. I'm pretty happy with the results and I hope you have a bit of fun yourself if you check it out!

Now go! Jump over stuff! Shoot fireballs! Save the princess! Burn the children!

Introducing A New Podcast!
September 20th, 2015

Today we're launching a new music-centric podcast, The SnS Album Listening Club. This new show is hosted by myself, Beepner, Byron Hulcher, and our good friend on the ol' Twitterbox, Taylor.

Simply, this is a podcast where we all listen to an album selected by someone over the course of a week or however long, then we get together to discuss it in detail with some clips from each track provided throughout to give the discussion some context. We're just getting this thing started and we're not exactly sure how we'll structure it after our first four episodes, but for now let's consider this a test run to see how it feels to us and what people think.

If you have any suggestions or feedback on the new podcast, feel free to drop on over to the SnS forums and leave a comment in the topic I've created for this new show.

No, for really-reals, I'm not just pullin' yer string. It's not even a Pat update either! I actually got around and did a thing for the site! The first thing that's not been a list or a podcast in some time! Maybe we're slowly inching our way toward the road of being an active site again.

Anyway, here's a thing I wrote looking back at one of the earliest reviews on the site and how my opinions may or may not have changed since then. It was kinda fun doing something like this, but I won't promise it's something I'll be doing more of in the future, but I do hope it helps to keep the creative juices going!

Help Celebrate SMPS.Net's 10th Anniversary!
March 9th, 2015

Next month will mark the tenth year that Socksmakepeoplesexy.Net has been annoying the entire internet with its own unique brand of bad videogames writing and humor. But I'm not the only one to blame! Many of YOU have been a part of this catastrophe and it's time to own up to your sins!

To celebrate our tenth anniversary, the plan right now is to host an ENTIRELY LIVE version of the Sockscast (which will be archived after we broadcast) and we want to talk to many of you as possible about the site or whatever else may happen to tickle your fancy. If you're just a casual reader, only listen to the podcast, or have contributated something to the site over the years, we want to talk to YOU, and we hope you wanna talk to us!

Currently, I'm in the planning phase, so I want anyone who wishes to be a part of the 10th anniversary podcast to shoot an email off to polly[at-sign]socksmakepeoplesexy.net to let me know you'd like to be on for a bit. As we get closer to the actual date, I'll be sure to email you and let you know when we'll be broadcasting and work out when it'd be convenient to bring you into the call.

I currently have no date set for the event, but my hope is to do it sometime in early April, but plans be fluid sometimes and peoples' schedules don't always play nice.

I'll post more updates about the tenth anniversary livecast as they start coming together. I hope we get the chance to talk to YOU!

Have fun kids!

Podcasts Make People Sexy: Sockscast Episode 12.1
February 1st, 2015

And so, The Powers That B said, "Let there be Sockscast," and all was good in the land! Of course, we obviously mean "The Powers That Beepner," since he's gracing our podcast with his ever-so-lovely presence and sharing his love of Dark Souls and cats fishing...or fisting...we're not sure. Meanwhile, Rhete, Polly, and John demonstrate the virtues of having your own videogame-related podcast by not talking about videogames much at all and instead focus on cartoons, music, and other weird obsessions truly befitting a podcast about videogames!

Tune in next Sunday for Episode 12.2 where myself, Rhete, John, and Beepner will spoil the shit out of Naughty Dog's The Last of Us. If you've got any feedback or questions you'd like to have us yap about concerning the game, feel free to drop us an email at podcast[at-sign]socksmakepeoplesexy.net!

See ya next Sunday!

Podcasts Make People Sexy: Sockscast Episode 11
January 19th, 2015

The Sockscast train pulls into the station an eensy-weensy little bit late this week due to illness, but try as it might, illness has no concrete way of stopping the maximum amount of yappage coming from the only sorta-videogame podcast that matters! This episode Polly's headin' on down to South Park to have herself a time, John's finally achieved his dream of becoming a magical girl, and Rhete's still...doing...lots of stuff!

As always, feel free to hit us up with an email at podcast [at-sign] socksmakepeoplesexy.net and maybe we'll make YOU internet famous next!

While you're at it, be sure to drop by the Socksmakepeoplesexy.Net forum and let us know what some of your top Generation 5 games are for a big ol' list we're doin'! And you can drop by our Let's Play forum to participate or enjoy some videos from the Let's Play Summer School 2 event that's happening right now!

And that's all for now!

Podcasts Make People Sexy: Sockscast Episode 10
January 4th, 2015

The Sockscast is back and ready to kick off 2015 as they get the ball-a-rollin' with a three-hour post-holiday poscast for you to get all nice and cozy to. Over the last two weeks Rhete has managed to play every single goddamn game EVER CREATED, John warps back to 1985 with gaming's most beloved franchise, and Polly has been in the same dungeon for almost twenty hours!

While I've got your attention, why not drop by the Sliders 'n Socks forum and help Rhete compile another huge list of games. Now that the holidays are past us, we hope some more folks are a bit more eager and have a bit more time to write up some of their games from the fifth generation of consoles.

Also, Awesome Games Done Quick is happening RIGHT NOW, so head on over there for some awesome speed runs and if you can throw a little money their way for charity.

Sockscast Crew's Expanded GoTY 2014 Lists!
January 1st, 2015

Welcome to yet another year on this miserable little planet! But everything doesn't have to be so bad. In fact, we're starting the year off with some fresh new content for you all to have a gander at.

As promised, myself, John, and Rhete have all produced some site-based versions of our Game of the Year lists for 2014 that we mentioned on the podcasts. We all kinda tackled the situation in different ways, but if you listened to the podcast, you know I can't really trust these two ding-dongs to do things normally anyway.

And so, presented for your approval, the lists:

And with that, Game of the Year is freakin' over. The Sockscast will be returning to our regular recording schedule hopefully tomorrow night, so there's hope for a new Sockscast for your new year coming Sunday!

And yeah, yeah, I know, I need to get this page cleaned up and a proper site for the podcast. I'M LAZY! Some things I just didn't make resolutions about!
