ExplicitWeekend Confirmed - Ep. 107 - 04/06/2012 | Fresh off the reveal of the reveal of the ambitious iOS game Republique which will be the debut title for his newly formed Camoflaj studio, Ryan Payton joins Garnett and the two Jeffs this week. They discuss the mix of stealth, exploration, and some voyeurism going into the design and the aspirations for it in advance of a Kickstarter campaign that begins Monday. With the Mass Effect "Extended Cut" announced the subject of bringing big games to a conclusion also comes up. There are new games to talk about as well with Jeff sharing some impressions from four and a half hours of playing Borderlands 2, Garnett giving a quick take on Ridge Racer Unbounded (don't think you know how that goes), and, yes, Yakuza 4 talk.

ExplicitWeekend Confirmed - Ep. 106 - 03/30/2012 | Jeff Cannata takes a well-earned week off but his Double Jump partner in crime Christian Spicer takes up the slack. He joins "Indie" Jeff and Ariel Angelotti to fill out the table around Garnett for this week's show. Our strong response to Journey sparked many discussions in the show thread last week, which reignites the conversation. From there the topic turns to good look at Xenoblade Chronicles, the game Operation Rainfall helped ensure got a North American release. After that Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City and Silent Hill Downpour square off in a debate over which revered survival horror franchise has suffered the hardest fall. And there's some chewing on the latest PlayStation 4 rumors and other news bits before wrapping it all up in finishing moves. | 3/30/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitWeekend Confirmed - Ep. 105 - 03/23/2012 | After a long look at Mass Effect 3 last week, Jeff, Jeff, Andrea, and Garnett turn their attentions to Journey, the upcoming Mists of Pandaria expansion for World of Warcraft, and other game. However, they cannot ignore the interesting turn the controversy over the ending of Mass Effect 3 took with BioWare co-founder Dr. Ray Muzyka directly addressing fans to promise them "clarity" and "closure" through new content the team will create. We also catch up on the announcement of an Epic Mickey sequel along the way to wrapping up with Finishing Moves. | 3/23/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitWeekend Confirmed - Ep. 104 - 03/16/2012 | Mass Effect 3 tops everyone's list. There's no way the Weekend Confirmed crew couldn't talk about it, but there are no spoilers…hell, Cannata's not even finished with it yet and we wouldn't want to do that to him. It's no secret, though, that the game's ending has rubbed a lot of fans the wrong way. What we want from game endings and the difficulties faced in putting a conclusion on a story we've invested so many hours offers a lot to consider. We also take a first look at some of our impressions from the game being careful to not give anything story-related away. Other things are happening as well. There's the Diablo 3 release date announcement, finally, and we've got a bunch of stuff left over from GDC last week as well. It's a non-stop ride to Finishing Moves. | 3/16/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Customer Reviews
You Just Cannata Deny Its Greatness!
First, I want to immediately apologize for the absolutely terrible pun in this review's title. Second, I just want to say that it is great to see Garnett Lee finally back at the helms of a podcast and I personally love that the title-muse himself, Jeff Cannata, is part of the cast. I love what I have heard so far and I only expect the show to get better and better as time passes.
Why do I love this podcast? ...Just cause...
Okay, I'll stop.
Welcome Back!!!
Garnett, welcome back!! I have listened since 1up and have been waiting, like many, for you to begin anew since you went to shacknews. Glad to have you back each and every week! Best wishes with the show, I know that you will be great!! Is Shane Bettenhausen ever going to return to the podcasting world? I'm excited for Weekend Confirmed each and every week for my ipod on the go! Congrats & great to hear you again!
Don't Believe The Hype
This show has only been a bit entertaining from the start. And it has only become more unbearable over time.
Garnet Lee's sense of humor is reaching sub-Gallagher levels. He tries SO hard make a stupid pun for every line other people say on the show.
"Our guest today is Richard. Richard?? Richard like Dick??? So he is a dick!!!!!! Hah Cha Cha I got a million, folks!". 'blows a kazoo and then a slide whistle then a foghorn'
Jeff is a moron. He gushes over everything and makes dumb jokes too.
Any time they have a guest, the guest will usually make Garnet and Jeff look bad because they are always more professional and have more sophisticated views. It makes me really miss Shane.
1up may be having quality issues but at least they know how to make good audio remixes. Just putting reverb on catchphrases and repeating ad nauseum doesn't work. Del Rio is no Gregory Bros or Tolecover.
