Professional Podcasting
Yesterday I recorded (and today I edited) my first “professional” podcast… that is, the first episode of the new podcast we are doing at my job. It was incredibly exciting. I got to spend a little money on upgraded equipment from what I own at home (mixer, mics, etc.), get the troops rallied around the…

“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…

Who Are You?
I did a similar thing over on Twitter a couple weeks ago, and I think I only got one response :P. I know there are people out there that are reading this, and a few of you have already commented on a few blog posts. Just out of curiosity, though, who are you? How’d you…

More “Rock Band” DLC Problems…?
So this morning I tried to download another one of those songs that I’ve been dying for and drowning in anticipation for: “Under the Bridge” by a certain band with Chili Peppers that may or may not be Red Hot. Note that I’m not really the biggest RHCP fan in the world. In fact, I…

I don’t know what to title this. “E-mail and parents”…?
So for the last many years, I occasionally receive spam specifically geared towards a car enthusiast. Nothing strange here, but keep reading. Let it be known that my dad owned a Corvette for a while, and thought he was the super-awesome car guy. He got rid of it a few years ago, mostly because he…

New Games This Week
This is a question mostly aimed at Andrew… but you all are free to reply, as well :P. Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood (DS) and Silent Hill: Homecoming (PS3/360) are both out this week. Are you picking up either of them? What’s your interest level in them? I know you were aprehensive about the new…

Psyched for “King of Fighters XII”
The art style of Street Fighter IV is definitely something to write home about, but all of us above the age of 20 were still halfway sad to see the (numbered part of the) series finally abandon its 2D roots (yes, I understand Arika and the EX series exist, and as much as I enjoyed…
Got any book recommendations?
