Podcast Episode 7 Delay

Image
Man, this last episode we recorded has been a nightmare to finish. We recorded the thing Thursday last week and I was going to take the weekend to edit and publish. Well here we are almost a week later and I'm still not done. A power outage Monday night jeopardized the whole thing, but I was able to recover it. With any luck it will be up tonight, so you all will get two this week.

It's a great time to be a gamer.

Yesterday, E3 came out and punched a lot of us right in the face. Backwards Compatibility coming to XBOX One. Gears of War 4, Sea of Thieves, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, and that Shenmue 3 kickstarter that hit $2 million dollars if 10 hours... Craziness. What was your all's most exciting announcement?

Earthbound Beginnings - Hits Virtual Console Today.

Image
Ive never played Earthbound. There I said it. Ive never touched the game cartridge, or played it as a ROM on an emulator. But I have heard some amazing things about it thought, and really would like to experience it. Yesterday, it was announced that Nintendo will be bringing Nes and the rest of the Earthbound crew to the Wii U Virtual Console, today, with the release of Earthbound Beginnings. Earthbound Beginnings is the first game of the Mother series and was originally released on the NES in Japan. Later translated, but never released officially in the US, until now. No word on the price as of yet.

Thumbstick Gamer Podcast -- Episode 6: Longest Episode Ever.

Image
Had a few technical difficulties getting this episode out, but EMT 969 and Irate Drake persevered and now you all get to enjoy one of our longest episodes ever. No more Off Topic after this episode I am afraid. Enjoy and call us @  1-502-694-0421 https://archive.org/download/ThumbstickGamerPodcast-Episode6/Episode%206.mp3 ***Edit***: After listening to it from the Podcast App on my phone, the sound levels between Tony and my MIC are so off, hopefully you guys can still enjoy it. 

My PC Blows...

Image
We started recording Episode 6, Tuesday night. Then Tony noticed my MIC was making all kinds of noises while I was pulling up podcast layout. After a little more research, we found that any time I opened something other than Skype, my PC had a hard time processing it. Time to buy something newer. Something a bit more powerful indeed. So hes coming over tonight and hopefully we can have this up tomorrow evening for you all....

Do Not Fear - Episode 6 Issues.

Image
While trying to record Episode 6 Saturday night, my PC had issues because it was using a wireless connection, that wasnt fast enough to support Skype. Yeah, I know, very sad. But ill be running a CAT5 cable tonight to my PC, and we will record Tuesday night. Were not gone, just yet.
