We ran into 1UP's Garnett Lee and David Ellis at Capcom's Resident Evil 5 and Bionic Commando event earlier this week and got an invite to appear on their two-part year-end podcast extravaganza The first installment is now live for your listening pleasure.

Guesting on podcasts is always a little weird. When a group of people get together on a regular basis for a good length of time, they get into a rhythm. It's hard not to feel like you're messing up that rhythm just by being there. So I did what came naturally--I spilled a drink all over myself and ran my mouth like there was no tomorrow. Brad, Ryan, and Vinny were all there, too, along with other intruders like Patrick Klepek from MTV Multiplayer, Jose Sanchez from Electric Playground, and Christian Nutt of Gamasutra fame. With that many people swapping in and out, it's bound to sound a little hectic in spots, but it was fun to chop it up with those guys, for sure.

Also, the Ziff dudes have a cloth map in their bathroom.

We'll be on next week, as well, so be sure to check it out.

Wow, the two best gaming podcast collide, I can't wait to listen to it. I like 1up.com a lot, but ever since Giantbomb.com, I get all my gaming news from here. Tell Shane what gamers want to here Jeff. :)

Please. Never visit IGN. I'm sure those guys are great, but they can't podcast worth a damn. They spend more time laughing at their inside jokes and obvious humor than talking about gaming. Or anything with a shadow of wit. Let them be..

He's already been on an ign Podcast, It was a gamesages episode like 9 months ago.... I think. Well, there aren't many episodes of that podcast so it should be easy to find.

I've listened to part 1 a few hours ago and I completely agree with you guys about the VGA's and video game award shows in general. As was mentioned on the podcast Spike's VGA's, although entertaining  this year, the award show was still geared towards the MTV click and not entirely towards the video game industry as a whole. To truly serve the industry justice we need a real award show hosted by the industry leaders instead of a television network looking to score some ratings.

It would be nice to see the talent of an industry being celebrating instead of the celebrities that look pretty on camera.
