<p>Here are some show notes from Episode 4. This is podcastin'!</p> <p>News</p> <ul> <li>You get to watch some pre-show banter. This was mostly for sound-test purposes, as we were first trying out our crazy PS2 headphones/microphones.</li> <li>Sony's crazy "This is livin'" commericial. We were gonna edit it in, but, uh, we didn't. You can check it out on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTG36Wa8zt8</li> <li>Luke's excellent article comparing the cost of all three consoles: <a href="http://50pixelsofevil.com/Console-Wars-Price-Factor">Console Wars: The Price Factor</a>. Matt's conjecture is that Xbox Live is a <i>necessary</i> part of the Xbox experience, thus bridging the price gap as a legitimate comparision point.</li> <li>Our Xbox gamer tags: <strong>larrycsonka</strong> (Matt), <strong>Dr3adh3ad</strong> (Joe), <strong>Sithlet</strong> (Luke) <li>The Nintendo online gaming news I discuss is somewhat outdated, since Nintendo has since revealed that <a href="http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3157970">they are working with Gamespy</a> to provide online gaming. Friend codes: still DO NOT WANT.</li> <li>The "free Pokemon videos on the Wii" was a joke. Yeah, they can't all be winners.</li> </ul> <p>What are we playing:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Luke</strong> - Ninety-Nine Nights, Starcraft, Xbox 360 Demos</li> <li><strong>Joe</strong> - Crackdown, GRAW 2, Alien Hominid, UMK3</li> <li><strong>Matt</strong> - Blazing Angels (X360), Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam</li> </ul> <p>DO NOT WANT list</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.gameznflix.com">Gamez 'n' Flix</a> - One word: SLOW. They are very cheap, their site is great, their stock is great, their flexibility is great, but everything is slow. So I guess: quality, speed, and price. PICK TWO.</li> <li>Battlestations: Midway. This game is just horrible.</li> <li>Check out the updated <a href="">DO NOT WANT list</a>, and let us know what YOU think should be on there, and why.</li> </ul> <p>Definitely check out Luke's miniatures at <a href="http://www.50pixelsofevil.com">50 Pixels of Evil</a>.</p> <p>The audio podcast is a slightly different version with theme music and what not, so check it out too.</p>
