What’s up Geek-u-Verse? J.J. Piedra and “OneManX” Nick Gray returned for another edition of Pulse!n Radio. This week we break down the 2013 Game Developer’s Conference as much as we could. Even with cutting a lot of material, we still went almost 90 minutes with information from the GDC.

In the News Section, we took a look at Star Wars: The Old Republic’s first expansion, Mozilla teaming with Epic to bring you Unreal 3 in your browser, Nintendo launching the Miiverse across browsers and smart phones, Battlefield 4′s pre-order details or lack thereof, more information on the PS4′s processing power, and a look at the big reveal of Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

After the break we return with more GDC coverage as we take a look at some of the panels that went down that discussed some of what needs to happen in the development world. We looked at Jade Raymond stating that new games have to be innovative and not rely on visuals, Sony finally starting to support Indie developers, how Single Player games still have an audience, how EA feels that Digital Rights Management is a dead end for development, and the problems that Free to Play games are facing.

Also, we wanted to let you know that because we’re wrestling nerds and Wrestlemania is happening on the day we normally record, which is Sunday the 7th of April, we will be bringing you a second show this week on Wednesday so you’ll be getting two shows this week. Pulse!n will return to its normal recording schedule starting on April 14th, but the Wednesday show will be worth it as we sit down with Leva Bates, who is an independent pro-wrestler herself, but she’s also an avid cosplayer, comic book fanatic and all around geek! She sat down with us via telephone and did a near 25 minute interview with us! We will have that for you as well as a roundup of your daily news on Episode 40 on it’s special day of Wednesday April 3rd.

Hello everyone! As promised, here is a special edition of Pulse!n containing outtakes from the end of season 2/beginning of season 3. The outtakes feature Josh and Nick as well as former host James Steele and producer Jason Namako. Sometimes we would just go off on long rants before, during, or after the show and Jason was clever enough to record a lot of it. So we took the time to compile some of the best clips from that in a near 15-minute outtake reel! Enjoy!

On this episode, Pulse!n celebrates both their Season 3 Finale as well as their 1 Year Anniversary! J.J. Piedra and “OneManX” Nick Gray start out the show with your typical rundown of news. It appears that we’re not the only ones celebrating a one year anniversary as Google is celebrating 1 year of Google Play and Sony is celebrating 1 year of the Playstation Vita. Both companies are giving away free stuff and we take a look at what they are. We also take a look at Microsoft possibly integrating Skype into the next Xbox, the unveiling of the Roku 3 set top box, and we say goodbye to two leaders in the game industry as they have left their respective companies.

During the commercial break, for one time only, your Anime and Manga releases for the week returned! While it was what we posted on the news site, we felt it would be a nice touch to pay homage to the earlier seasons by bringing it back this time around!

When we returned from break, we were joined by long time listener and fan Kaleb McCullough. We talked to him about League of Legends, World of Warcraft’s 5.2 Patch: The Thunder King, and what’s happening as of late in the Bleach and Naruto mangas. Kaleb decided to hang out with us for the rest of the show. We then went into a review of Path of Exile Beta and in traditional Pulse!n fashion, Nick and Kaleb asked the questions and I gave the answers. After that we paid tribute to everyone that made the show a success over the past year!

Thanks for listening and we’ll see you next week for Year 2 and Season 4!
