It’s that other time of year, everyone! Online game sales and E3 Video Game announcement and all other kids of “nerdery.”  Sheets, Fagan, and my brother Joe join me for a special gaming podcast similar to our holiday gaming podcast but only warmer.  We have a lot of fun and talk games and what we’re looking forward to.  If you’re not a gamer, I hope you still enjoy the episode.  If you are a gamer, you better enjoy this shit!

Oniken (A very NES styled Indie game that is well worth its cost)

Evil Within Gameplay video (as good as any scary movie)

Steam! Get in on the upcoming sale! (Rumored to start the 19th of June)

Nidhogg (Another great looking indie game)

Robot Roller Derby Disco Dodgeball.  (An interesting looking suggestion from Sheets)

isthereanydeal.com (a very valuable resource as you shop this upcoming summer sale)

Steam Enhancement Suite (gives your steam shopping a little more teeth)

The World Cup is upon us!  Although we are morally torn by the way FIFA economically ravages the countries that it enters and by the way Brazil is putting its people on the back burner for a temporary event, we are excited for the soccer portion of the event.  Join me and Sheets as we talk World Cup and Soccer as we prepare to do a weekly series during the Cup!  I’m a novice of the game so it makes it all the more interesting!  If you’re not a soccer fan, no worries.  Regular episodes of Lopez Radio will still be occurring this month as well!

In which Lopez is joined by long time friend and high school classmate, Zach.  A Marine Veteran and deep thinker, Zach made this a really fun and thoughtful episode.  We took a gander back at our high school days and old stomping grounds, talked about the Bowe Bergdhal controversy that has eclipsed the V.A. mistreatment story within a week, and how the Slender Man killings have shown the world that young males aren’t the only thing to fear when it comes to youthful violence.  Those are just a few of the topics.  I hope you guys enjoy episode 38!  See you next week.

It’s a full on Giant Show version of Lopez Radio!  Giant Brian returns and Shaffee joins us for the first time on the podcast.  Collectively, the original Giant Show line up is reunited for the first time in 5 or 6 (?) years, maybe longer.  This was a fun episode filled with a lot of stories and reminiscing.  We fight through some technical difficulties but it all seems to be right for this bunch.  Treat this as more of a candid conversation than a normal podcast episode.

Fagan joins me to talk about a myriad of things in episode 37 like my last days on morning radio here in Athens, censorship and taking risks, the heartwarming Levar Burt/Reading Rainbow crowd sourcing phenomenon, more Xmen and movie talk, and finally the conversation that the Santa Barbra shooting got the internet buzzing about.  Join us and hit the links below!

Krista joins me on this episode of Lopez Radio and we discuss the transition back to radio, horribly homophobic congressional candidates, Brazil’s horrendous preparation for the World Cup and Olympics, and embarrassing stories from our youth.  Do enjoy!

Fagan and I talk about how the media and its scavengers have created sensationalism and paranoia to the point of ruining the effect of our justice system as well as a little video game and movie talk! Come join!

Jarrod Miller and Krista join me to discuss Donald Sterling and his racist history and what it could mean for the NBA.  We also discuss the new gun law passed by Georgia governor Nathan Deal and what that may or may not mean to the bar scene here in town.  I’ll post some links below but remember to visit Jarrod at his bar, Jerzees, in downtown Athens, GA and support the comedy scene in Athens by stopping by Jerzees on May13th and every other Tuesday after that for Comedy Night.

Keep up with upcoming events at Jerzees on their Facebook page.

On a lighter note, one man’s quest to make a sex toy for men (discussed at the end of the podcast).

Not quite sure how sleep deprivation affects my podcasting abilities but even though we are both pretty tired, Krista joins me for another podcast that spans the topics of why herpes ads are popping up on Facebook, the bullshit that resides in your friend list and news feed, minimum wage, and a few other bits that we found over the course of this week.  Fagan joins us a little way through the podcast to further our knowledge on income inequality and net neutrality.

Join me and Fagan as we do a ten minute review on a great Chris Evans (yes, Captain America) movie that has gotten very little talk so far but is GREAT!  Remember to listen to the disclaimer at the beginning.  Enjoy!
