Tech Olive

The OliveCast is at it once again and as expected, we discuss (translation: I discuss) Apple’s “Back to the Mac” Event, as well as talk about Window 7′s recent birthday. We then finish up with an update on Call of Duty: Black Ops and give you a preview of what we’re going to review these next few weeks. Sadly, our special guest was busy so we couldn’t get a third person to join us, but we’re hoping to have him on board next time.

It’s that time of the month again (teeheehee) and The OliveCast will be making another return to your speakers this weekend. You won’t want to miss this one, folks. We’ll be talking about none other than Apple’s “Back to the Mac” Event, but that’s not all! We’ll also be discussing Windows 7′s first birthday and reminiscing over the great OS by Microsoft, as well as provide an update on any recent Call of Duty: Black Ops news. Who knows, maybe we’ll have a special guest joining us, but don’t bust out that chisel just yet. What you can do though is stay tuned in this weekend for another episode of The OliveCast!

By the way, how do you like our new OliveCast logo?

We’re back with yet another installment of the OliveCast and while we promised you that we would be having a special guest, he couldn’t make it this time, but fear not because the OliveCast continues on with or without special guests. This time around, we discuss OnLive, Steam, Twitter, Google, Black Ops (obviously), and more. So put on those earbuds (or turn on your speakers) and crank the volume!

Hosts: Craig Lloyd & Tim Hage
Intro Music: Benjamin Britten – The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra
Outro Music: Cool Cavemen – Fusion

We told you the OliveCast would return this weekend, and late Sunday night is still the weekend, so we’re safe. We have returned from our two-month drought and needless to say, we had a lot of stuff to catch up on, but we kept it shorter this time around for our own sake and your’s. Hit up the triangle below and while you’re at it, subscribe to our podcast via RSS or iTunes.

Howdy, readers. After a two-month OliveCast drought, we’ll be finally returning to the microphones this weekend. If you recall, we decided to postpone last month’s OliveCast in favor of spending more time with Hulu Plus. This month’s main OliveCast topic will be about the busiest time of the year for us, game developers, and gamers. That’s right, we’ll be previewing Q4! So, sit tight and look forward to this weekend!

Hello, minions of Earth. We’re going to be throwing a curve ball your way and switch things up temporarily. It’s kind of a good news/bad news type of situation. The bad news is that our monthly OliveCast will be suspended until next month so that we can have more time to work on the good news. So, what is the good news? The good news is that we’ll be bringing you loyal readers of the Olive an awesome, in-depth look inside Hulu Plus! Many of you might be hesitant on spending that $10 you made from betting your friend that you could drink his vomit that he upchucked a week ago on a monthly paid subscription of Hulu. That’s where we come in and let you know what you should or shouldn’t spend that $10 on.

So, this our eighth ever podcast. As always, we let you know what we’ve been up to aside from the hustle and bustle of Tech Olive, as well recap some of the big news from the past couple of weeks. Then we end with our main discussion about we expect to see at E3 this year. We’re still working out the kinks in our audio, but we think we’re getting really close to solving all of the problems that we’ve been having. So, please sit back, relax, and listen (or don’t, but please do) to our latest OliveCast.

Get ready, folks. Our monthly OliveCast will be back this weekend, and we actually have some very interesting things to talk about. We’ll be discussing what Tim and I have been up to since the last OliveCast, as well as recapping some news from the past couple weeks. Then, we’ll wrap up with what should hopefully be an interesting discussion on what we could expect at E3 2010.

We don’t know exactly when we’ll be posting up the new OliveCast for your hearing pleasure, but we promise it will be up before Saturday gets done with. Stay tuned!

We’re back for another OliveCast brought to you by the deadly dual of Tech Olive. We let you guys know what we’ve been up to and give you a sneak peek on the Mad Catz Modern Warfare 2 Xbox 360 controller. We also discuss Iron Man 2 and digital distribution, as well some new things going on with the site.

Yeah, it’s been awhile, but we’re finally back with a new podcast. We thought it would be a good idea to update you guys on what we’ve been up to besides Tech Olive and we also discuss all the speculation on the upcoming Portal sequel by Valve, Portal 2.
