Fable (Xbox)
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 Recap
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 Recap
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]
Episode 18 Recap
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
Dreamcast Goodness
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]
Duke Nukem Forever/Duke Nukem Never
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]
Episode 17 Recap
One day before Episode 18 hits, and the Episode 17 recap is going up! Talk about time management, folks! Episode 17 was over 3 hours (we had a lot of time to make up from missing the previous week!), and it was a lot of fun. We had a lot to talk about. We discussed potentially moving the show from UStream.TV to Justin.TV because of the number of users being so much larger on Justin.TV. Please ...[Read More]
The Man?
Damn the Man! Fight the power! Vive la Resistance! Wait…am I allowed to say that now? For the last eight years, I was part of that group of people who could say stuff like that. I was the revolution. I was the oppressed masses. I was the righteous anger. Now I’m the man; I’m the power. I can’t say “Damn the Man!” anymore. Why would I damn myself? I can&...[Read More]
Left 4 Dead Free Trial
Starting Friday morning, at 12:01am GMT (this afternoon at 4:01pm PST / 7:01pm EST), Steam is offering a free 24 hour trial of the PC version of Left 4 Dead. It’s a great opportunity to try out a (as I’ve heard tell) fantastic zombie survival game without any obligation or cost. It’s a great offer, so take advantage of it while it’s available!
Movie Remakes
Why does the movie industry feel the need to saturate viewers with movie remakes? Why not do something original more often? The last few years, especially, has seen a veritable explosion of movie remakes, and it seems the trend is far from over. Anyone remember the 1991 Phoebe Cates / Rik Mayall film Drop Dead Fred? It was a fantastic film that, while commercial unsuccessful, gained a very larg...[Read More]
Subtle Advertising
Last night, Lindsey and I saw a very interesting Schick razor commercial for women. I won’t do it the disservice of attempting to describe it with my paltry vocabulary. Here it is in all of its glory: youtube::WAk77Kr_OwQ:: Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. -Because I said so
Super Mario Galaxy Progress Update 9
A much shorter gap between 8 and 9 than 7 and 8! Going into Progress Update 9, I had 1 star remaining (that I know of) before the Kitchen Observatory’s Bowser battle. I jumped back into the Ghostly Galaxy for the final star. This level introduced me to the Bomb Boos, black ghosts that would explode when spun into an object. Mastering spinning the ghosts where you want is the only way to ...[Read More]
