Video Game Club: “Final Fantasy VI” Thoughts #2
I just got a chance to play another ~45 minutes or so in Final Fantasy VI, and wanted to give everyone an update on my thoughts. Judging from the comments when I last talked about the game, a lot of you are interested in (and currently are!) playing along with the game, too, and want…

“Secret of Mana” on Virtual Console
Just because a new podcast episode came out yesterday, it doesn’t mean that I can’t keep writing blog entries! I’m still here for another couple days! We heard about it hitting the Japanese Virtual Console last month, so we knew it was on its way. That doesn’t change the fact that a SquaresoftEnix game coming…

Conversation 004: What’s Going On Right Now & An Old Discussion About Video Game Magazines and Import Game Coverage
It’s that time of the month, again! We’re pretty much on-schedule, and here to hit you back with another podcast episode. Since I’m getting married next week, and therefore all parties involved are pretty busy right now and will be out of town (Hell, Jeff’s down in Virginia as I type this for AnimeUSA), we…

Six Weeks Pokemon Free
I can’t believe that it’s been six weeks since I popped Final Fantasy VI into Slot 2 of my Nintendo DS, effectively putting an end to my current playing of Pokemon. Since then, I have loaded up not a single Pokemon game for GBA, DS, WiiWare… anything. It’s been perfectly wonderful. To briefly recap, I…

“LittleBigPlanet” Beta
Managed to get myself a beta key for LittleBigPlanet the other day thanks to the USA Today giveaway (which required nothing more than sending an e-mail). I’m only just now getting around to downloading it, and it’s only good through the weekend… so I don’t have a whole lot of time with it! I’ve already…

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…

“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…
