Derek Alexander of Happy Video Game Nerd and Starship Amazing Fame joins the crew to talk about some comic book movies and retro games remakes. Also, to get on Grim for not finishing Silent Hill 1– he should really play through that game one day.
(Had a few technical difficulties but nothing to bad, Just a few jumps in audio.)
Most of this weeks show is about Metal Gear Solid 4 but we get some other games in as well. Battlefield: Bad Company, Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War 2. And so much more… well a little more.
The new trailer for Resident Evil 5 is up and damn it looks good. though I can help to think they took Resident Evil 4 and reskined it. Which isn’t such a bad thing as the last Resident Evil game was damn good.
Video games have had some very cool “Easter eggs” ever since the first one appeared in Atari’s adventure. The following one has to be one of the weirder ones that I have seen. I’m not going to spoil it for you, just in case you want to check it out for yourself. In this case, just get in a helicopter and head to the Statue of Happiness- there’ll be something waiting for you inside. If not there is a video after the jump. Thanks to “That Girl” for the heads up.
I want to start by saying, thank you all for listening to are little show. I hope you are enjoying it.
Sorry for the delay on the Podcast. It has been mix of Comic-Con, Laziness, GTA IV and internet issues. We are hoping that have sometime for you next week.
… Maybe I should’ve written a sticky that said I’d be at NYCC all weekend! Yesterday was exciting, I have plenty of things to post about… but it’ll all have to wait until tomorrow because I’m just going to wrap things up for y’all with a “pretty little bow”. In the meantime, I went to Erick Scarecrow’s Soopa Coin Up Show. First thing that must be mentioned, getting there really was “soopa easy” as Erick stated on the flyer.
Once I got there, I have to admit that I was highly impressed with the space. It was nothing like I had imagined… then again, whenever I’m outside of my safe zone, nothing is really what it seems. The space was big and well lit. I’m not a fan of florescent lights beaming over my head, but I love florescent lights both behind or under vinyls because it just makes for better photos. That’s just my opinion.
The customs were overall amazing. I had fond memories of kANO’s Money Grip show- not in the art or artists themselves, but seeing what other artists do with ONE specific figure. The munny/dunny is so “mainstream” that it doesn’t have the same effect on me that these shapes have. Hit the jump for some of my favorites and visit the flickr to see all of the customs.
The Mario inspired ones

Toy Break’s was hilarious… it’s them holding Mouse Micci!
I’m off to bed… one more day of running around/pictures!!:’);” src=”../wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif” alt=” :” />
Last night was Mad’s Phase 3 realease. What’s that mean? I am referring to the second coming of his Mad*l’s. I have to say that since I got into the scene I was longing for this day. I wasn’t around during the first wave of Mad*L’s and now that he’s producing them himself, I am overjoyed with the upcoming releases. In order to kick off the Mad*L wave, Mad has a custom 10″ Mad*Ls show at MPH last night. Check out more photos after the jump.
So here is Scarlett from the upcoming G.I. Joe movie. Not bad but they have the color scheme is wrong. as you see from the picture below. There is a lot of brown in her suit. Seems like the movie is going to be all about black leather.
When I heard they were making a Batman Anime to go along with the upcoming movie, I was a bit iffy but after seeing this trailer that is all gone. It looks quite good and they get points for bring back Kevin Conroy as Batman. It’s coming out in July 8th, 2008 on DVD and Blu-Ray.
Quarantine is a remake of the Spain film [REC]. If the trailer is any indication of the final film. They look like they did a great job remake it. Well then again, I didn’t see [REC] but the trailer was great. Let hope they this is as least as good as Diary of the Dead.
Sorry in advance for the sound quality this podcast. We had a whole bunch of technical difficulties but managed to put something great together.
This week’s topic:
What is wrong with Video game Stories?
So we are trying something new. We are going to have one main topic for the podcast. Along with the News and “What we’ve been playing”. Bear with us as it’s still a work in progress and this week we go off topic quite often. We end up talking about Final Fantasy 7 again. Though this time its Grim’s fault.
