Thank goodness I can disconnect!
So I had finished editing some stuff and wanted to burn it off to CD-R for transferring around. Don’t have Nero installed on this computer, and turns out I don’t really have anything installed over here for advanced burning. OK, no problem. I’ll just go grab CDBurnerXP, since I don’t need anything all that special.…

Top 10 Couch Songs In “Rock Band”
While this is a Top 10 list, it’s not part of a regular episode, so I won’t toss it over with the rest of the more formal Top 10 lists. This is instead intended to just be a fun little thing to put out there, and to coax Jeff and Andrew into making their own…

Define: “Couch”
This is something I wrote elsewhere back in April 2008. I think it makes sense to re-post it here. Seriously, internet. You using the word “emo” is getting a little old. How about you pick another musical genre/descriptor at random and use it completely wrong for a few years? Maybe “Schlager“? Yeah, every time someone’s…

Professional Podcasting

“Shining Force II” Hits Virtual Console
It hit the European Virtual Console last Friday or so, and today we got it for ourselves! Shining Force II is a game that I probably shouldn’t have a whole lot of familiarity with. As you probably heard in our first episode (and then on my personal Top 10 list), it was Final Fantasy VII…

Cover Scan Requests
Hey, all. This is probably going to sound like a request a typical scummy bootlegging kid would make, but believe it or not, it’s a genuine request! You’re all familiar with buying used games, I’m sure. More often than not, we’re getting our used games from GameStop. Well, I’ve picked up two original Xbox games…

Nintendo’s 2008-2009 Updates
Well, we’ve got a new Nintendo DS on the way (along with a few other things). There has already been a bunch of discussion about the whole thingie-ma-bob, despite the press event only happening within the last 24 hours (as of this writing, Nintendo has yet to hold their US press event). However, there are…

SNK vs Capcom: Match of the Millennium
I briefly hinted a couple days ago that I was going to have some more Neo-Geo/SNK action coming your way, and so here it is…! You have probably heard on the show our little story about the Neo-Geo Pocket Color. If not, the short version is that Andrew picked one up our senior year of…
