Press Start Show for 1-31-2007

Wednesday, January 31st, 2007

Last week we talked a bit about things we didn’t like about the Wii, but we ran out of time. This week we continue that discussion, and talk about other fun things that happened recently, like new 2K Sports football game and the new slew of racing games coming later this year, and some news about Linden Labs, makers of Second Life which may or may not be a game depending on who you talk to.
Back by popular request is our postshow, in which we let our angst and sarcasm get the better of us. Raciness ensues! As always we hope to warn the easily offended.

Press Start Show for 1-24-2007

Wednesday, January 24th, 2007

What do you know it’s Wednesday again.

This week:

- XBLA games, 360 memory card to get hit with a biggerizer

- The Mega Man Guy is making a Wii game

- Which is good because there aren’t really any huge titles coming out for the Wii for a while.

Again, no postshow this week.  Feel free to email us if this drives you nuts.

KCPR Signal Outtage on 1-24

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007

KCPR is in a bit of a transition phase right now, and some work will be done on the transmitter tower Wednesday morning. For the work to happen, the power to said transmitter needs to get the boot. Because of this, the show will not be heard in San Luis Obispo and its surrounding communities.

But Press Start will still be broadcast Wednesday morning; the two best ways to listen to it will be via KCPR.org, or by downloading the podcast after the fact. Hope you enjoy.

Arrrr!

Over the last Winter break from school, our faithful listener Chadd and I went over Justin’s head and did a show about Guitar Hero, game demos, and computer games old and new, specifically the upcoming Uru: Ages beyond Myst. This show was recorded on a small microphone so there are some audio quality issues, but in general I think it worked pretty well. Do send feedback if you feel so inclined.

Press Start Show for 1-17-2007

Wednesday, January 17th, 2007

This is the first show of Press Start for 2007.  Justin and I discuss his new 360, and argue a little bit about Sonic the Hedgehog.  We also share some sadder news about the Wii shortage.

There is no postshow this week, instead I will be putting up a recording I did over the break with one of our regular listeners, Chadd, who broadened our repertoire by covering some topics (computer games!) that Justin and I don’t usually cover as closely.  Look out for that later this week.
