Here are some show notes from Episode 4. This is podcastin'! News 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. 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 Luke's excellent article comparing the cost of all three consoles: Console Wars: The Price Factor. Matt's conjecture is that Xbox Live is a necessary part of the Xbox experience, thus bridging the price gap as a legitimate comparision point. Our Xbox gamer tags: larrycsonka (Matt), Dr3adh3ad (Joe), Sithlet (Luke) The Nintendo online gaming news I discuss is somewhat outdated, since Nintendo has since revealed that they are working with Gamespy to provide online gaming. Friend codes: still DO NOT WANT. The "free Pokemon videos on the Wii" was a joke. Yeah, they can't all be winners. What are we playing: Luke - Ninety-Nine Nights, Starcraft, Xbox 360 Demos Joe - Crackdown, GRAW 2, Alien Hominid, UMK3 Matt - Blazing Angels (X360), Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam DO NOT WANT list Gamez 'n' Flix - 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. Battlestations: Midway. This game is just horrible. Check out the updated DO NOT WANT list, and let us know what YOU think should be on there, and why. Definitely check out Luke's miniatures at 50 Pixels of Evil. The audio podcast is a slightly different version with theme music and what not, so check it out too.
