It’s that time for some Kung-Fu chop saki action for the Xbawks & PC.
Yep, it’s the GOTM show for Jade Empire. Due to Baldy not being available to record the 79thn episode of the Pinekast, Tenno decided to push back the GOTM show and record another amazing show on Monday. I spend the next several days hacking away at this show to finally reveal the shiny gem inside.
In this week’s show we discuss how I completed a seven hour power session and was able to beat the game. So after the “what you’ve been playing” segment, the show pretty much was reduced to the Baldy & Jango show with a sprinkle of Tenno here and there. Not wanting to belittle the other members, but fuck them. They didn’t finish the game!
Mwahahahaha!
Hey, let me enjoy this very rare moment. It’s not every month that I’m able to beat a damn GOTM game, especially an RPG!
Decepticreep was unable to make it onto the show because this week he was waiting for a very special person to enter into this fantastic world. Fast forward to today: Decepticreep and his lovely wife finally had their baby today.
For the record, I decided to dedicate this episode to my newest niece, Lucy. (Would that make her a Decpeticreep-ette?) Because one day, with the wisdom and guidance of Decepticreep and some help from myself, Lucy will hopefully learn to appreciated the finer things in life like long power sessions just so you can complain about a 5 year old game with some friends on a fake radio show or at very least learn to love cartridges. Yeah… :/
Anyways, Jade Empire.
It’s a half finished mess by Bioware. It don’t hate it but I don’t exactly love it either. By very definition it’s mediocre.
Whatever.
Join Jangofatt, Tenno, Baldy, Jedah Doma and a very special guest for our dissection as we enter the fictitious world of Jade Empire.
Yeah, I love this fucking site and if you are reading this, I think you fucking rock as well.

The sequel to John Woo’s Hard Boiled, Stranglehold is actually our first current generation game for the Game of the Month. There will be no pretension with this game. It’s all about shooting everything that moves and a few hundred watermelons. This month is all about so good old fashion arcade shooting fun, or so I’ve been told. You see, I don’t know jack about this game but the one thing I do know is that the game is cheap, like less than 


PCA vs. CGE!
Last weekend we had a chance to stop by the newly invigorated Classic Gaming Expo – a glorification of everything retro, retroesque or just plain classic in video gaming. Though this means we saw way more Pacman shirts then we normally do…
