Podcast Episode 002: First E-mail Addresses
So here we are about two months after the first episode of this little side-side-podcast. It’s certainly living up to the “what I want, when I want” mantra that I set forth! While we were waiting around for Julian to show up to record the previous podcast episode for Daizenshuu EX, I figured those of…

Conversation 005: Crossover Games and Our Top 10 Special Guest Appearances
Damn right we have episode five for you! It came a little later in the month than anticipated, but hey… everyone’s got busy lives going on right now. Thankfully we were all able to get together and record a great episode, including our buddy Bryce, who’s back once again to shoot the shiz with us.…

Bathroom Note
Seriously? How old are we, people…? This is a place of business, not a college dorm. Being in a college town is not an excuse.

Thinking About Ditching Cable
So Meri and I are seriously considering just ditching our cable television entirely. We’ve come to the realization that beyond her occasional crashing with some HGTV… we just don’t watch anything. Sure, there’s South Park when there are new episodes, but the official website & Netflix can take care of that in due time. We’ve…

How About You? Playing Your Wii At All?
I am constantly hearing more and more reports on gaming podcasts from journalists and general enthusiasts alike saying that their Wii is doing nothing more than collecting dust. Meri and I both have moments of guilt, ourselves, where we verbally note that the Wii is basically just sitting there for the sake of sitting there…

How’s Married Life? Pretty Much The Same…
I don’t know about Meri, but I’ve certainly had quite a few people at work and in other social situations ask the standard, “So how’s married life treating you?” question. Every time, my answer is the same: a halfway-confused response of, “Well… the same as it was before, but with a ring on.” I wonder…

Sorry! Wanna play something else…?
My friends list on the 360 is looking pretty funny, lately. It basically consists of 10% random games, and then 90% Gears of War 2. While I appreciate all the co-op / multiplayer gaming requests I’m getting from everyone to play GoW2, unfortunately (for you) I don’t have the game and don’t have much of…

Some AMV Behind-The-Scenes Stories
If you’re following this blog then you are probably vaguely familiar with who I am, so needless to say, I have a history with Anime Music Videos. Meri got me into them when we met back in 2000; I was seriously non-interested prior to that, but when she showed me some good ones and I…

“Rock Band” or “Guitar Hero”: A Platform For Investment
Harmonix has done a great job of promoting Rock Band as a “platform”. DLC is backwards/forwards compatible (meaning it works in either the first or second game), and the same goes for the fake plastic instruments. You can even export the majority of songs from the first game right into the second game, something Bemani…
