17 years ago, the world was given Mortal Kombat; a video game that was partially responsible for the creation of the ESRB due to high levels of violence, blood, and gore. Needless to say, it was a hit. However, no game is perfect for its entire target audience, not even Mortal Kombat. The question remains; how can the remaining target demographic be captured by the series? It’s all a mat...[Read More]
Going into Progress Update 13, I’ve already completed two of the five galaxies in the Bedroom Observatory. The next one up is the Dusty Dune Galaxy which, at first look, seems to be a full desert galaxy. Almost immediately, I met up with an old friend: Dry Bones! After passing him by, I encountered a pair of tornadoes. When I jumped in, it launched me into a helicopter spin that hovered ...[Read More]
After playing some Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy with Lindsey, she headed off, and I started up Super Mario Galaxy! I headed back into the Bedroom Observatory, and noticed that the Freezeflame Galaxy had a Cosmic Comet in orbit! I jumped in and got ready to race! One quick dash later, I have another star. I headed back into the Freeflame Galaxy for the third official star. This star...[Read More]
Progress update 11 is here! As soon as I started my play file, I noticed that one of the toadstools had a mail icon, meaning I had a message. I retrieved a letter from Luigi, who was informing me that he had found a new star in one of my previous galaxies. He included a snapshot of the location so that I could figure out what galaxy he was in. I also received a letter from Princess Peach, whic...[Read More]
Due to technical issues with my regular laptop, we were forced to broadcast episode 21 of the MehCast from my work laptop. Fortunately, we discovered this issue well before our start time, so we were able to be prepared! We ran about two hours last night, but had a lot of fun. We didn’t bother getting too dressed up for the show; Lindsey swapped her shorts for jeans, and I just stayed in ...[Read More]
One month since progress update 9 has passed, and we have finally arrived at progress update 10! I finally sat down and put Super Mario Galaxy back into the Wii. Last time I checked in, I had completed three full observatories, and was looking forward to entering into the fourth observatory, the Bedroom Observatory. The Bedroom Observatory, as I mentioned in progress update 9, differs from the ...[Read More]
Last week, I finally had the chance to play through Fable on the Xbox. I remember looking forward to this game with great anticipation when it was first announced, but never having the chance to give it a try. Last week, in a used game store, we saw a clean copy for 7.99, and picked it up fairly quickly. We got home, and I started my life in Albion. The controls were fantastic. I had no proble...[Read More]
Episode 20 has come and gone! 21 weeks, 20 episodes (yeah, sorry about that one week). Unfortunately, however, this week will bring us to 22 weeks, 20 episodes, as we will not be able to broadcast this week due to Nine Inch Nails and Jane’s Addiction! Anyway, we had a decent show, a higher viewer count than the last few weeks (it’s been dwindling), and a lot of fun. Song of the Week...[Read More]
Episode 19 was a good, long, fun episode. Shortly into the episode, we had to accelerate our migration plans by moving the show over to Justin.TV early. UStream had been experiencing severe technical issues that resulted in our decision. Going forward, all episodes will be broadcast through Justin.TV. We talked about the same kind of thing as usual, and the same range of topics. Our weekly cho...[Read More]
I don’t remember a single thing about episode 18! I have no idea where the show notes are! Isn’t this an awesome recap? Once I find the notes, I’ll come back and edit this one! -Because I said so
Wow, we’ve really fallen behind on our posting. Sorry about that, but it couldn’t be helped. I needed a bit of a break from having to think of something every single day. Hopefully I’m ready to get back into the swing of things! A few weeks ago, during one of our MehCast episodes, we discussed my broken Dreamcast console and how I truly missed it. One of our amazing viewers, ...[Read More]
Almost 12 years have passed since the sequel to Duke Nukem 3D was announced by 3D Realms. 12 long years of screenshots, development updates, and interminable delays. Duke Nukem Forever has become a vaporware legend for it’s 12 year development period with no playable demo or beta release, and every-few-years screenshot releases. It seems that the delays may be over, albeit not in the way ...[Read More]
