With little persuasion, Decepticreep convinced me to go with him to this year’s Botcon that was in Pasadena, Ca for the 25th Anniversary of Transformers. Good times ensued. Both of us were being cheap so the deal was, Decepticreep paid for the rooms while I had to pay for the fuel to get from Las Vegas to Pasadena. I sort of cheated.
For preparation of the trip, I traded in one of my best vehicles I’ve ever owned for a more fuel-efficient car. Yeah, Jango bought a hybrid; a Toyota Prius to be more precise and as far as efficient, I was able to make the trek on one tank of gas with plenty of fuel to spare while we were in Cali. I only had to fuel up once for the trip back home. Like I said, I cheated.
We arrived on Friday evening and settled in and recorded the Yoshi’s Island Special Pinekast in the hotel room. I was quite proud to actually have the complete cast in this episode. Tenno, Baldy, Ancient Flounder, Jedah Doma, Decepticreep and myself all met on Skype and were able to actually record the show on the road. So look for that real soon.

So, is anyone here hyped for this game? [...]
It was decided by the PCA staff a couple weeks back that we were going to start a monthly informal “Game of the Month Club” and the lucky victim game was Yoshi’s Island. I’m seriously thinking about hosting another contest just so a reader can come up with a better title for this game club because [...]
We’ve all seen the crap that Konami and Kojima Productions have been pulling the last several weeks, with the Famitsu ad that dated a countdown, that counted down to another countdown…that counted down to yet another one. Oy. Just give us the fucking news already. However, with the new one, if you wait a bit, you get this to flash on the screen…
Consider me officially intrigued. Especially since the Microsoft keynote for E3 occurs the day this new countdown ends. Coincidence or…

This week’s episode dealt with Punch-Out in all it’s incarnations…. I think. I haven’t had a chance to even hear the new show yet due to me just getting back a day late from San Francisco. Had a chance to go see Nine Inch Nails backstage and get out of town and all [...]
Obviously this game is very “Japanese” but I have to say that I find the gimmicky mechanic to look interesting and fun. I have to this if this game ever comes out to North America intact on the WiiWare, I’ll download [...]
This movie better have a Austrian accented robot or I’m going to throw a huge Christian Bale [...]
