Video Game Guys Podcast

Your Hosts:
Malcolm “Numb Legs” Owen
Justin “Is it called Naruto?” Lee

(Serious apologies for the delay, the script has now started working again. This was originally recorded ages ago, but now it’s actually on the feed. Once again, sorry…)

After a long break because of vacation and E3, our videogame podcast is back with a vengeance. Your host Justin Lee summarizes what happened to him during E3 and of course encourages you to check out all the videos over at http://www.e3coverage.com . One of the strangest videos that we discuss is We Cheer, a cheer leading game that highly disturbs Malcolm.

Apologies to you all, but sadly E3 is on, and that means that all hands are on deck at Gametactics.com and E3coverage.com until the flood of news ends. Of course, Justin is actually AT E3 for the video interview goodness (the lucky guy), so there might be a chance of a show being recorded whilst he is still there. Unlikely though.

Normal service should return next week. And it should be a “Justin Talking About E3 Bonanza”. I might as well take the day off…

UPDATE
Our podcasting script has decided to break on us, and no matter what we do, the show just won’t update properly on the post, so for the moment the show won’t appear in iTunes as normal. Instead, here is a direct download to the episode. When the script is updated again (which should be damn soon), the show will go up as normal.
Once again, sorry.

As some of you might know, I (Malcolm) work in a callcenter dealing with customer enquiries. Generally this involves using my voice. 3 days ago, I noticed my throat was sore whilst on the phones, and hoped it would get better with a bit of rest. Here I am though, on Sunday night, with most of a cold and a croaky voice. I found it difficult to make it through the working day with this voice, the last thing I want is for you lot to suffer it.

Basically, I’m ill, there’s no show this weekend (I am not going to ruin a podcast with coughing and spluttering) but hopefully it will all be over by next weekend.

In the mean time, might I recommend listening to and adding The Bobby Blackwolf Show to your podcast grabbing application of choice (e.g. iTunes). It’s a good dose of gaming goodness with someone that knows what they are talking about more than we do.

Back to normal next weekend. Sorry, and thanks for listening.

Your Hosts:
Malcolm “Hello?” Owen
