Dear Humans of the Planet Earth,

Sorry for the technical delays in posting shows and adding podcast value as of late.  We are all crunching for E3 and John is chained and shackled to his desk until Crackdown 2 ships.  We’ve also had a little problem with one of our shows going and getting all “corrupted” after we spent a few hours editing it….stupid show!  Note that we’ve got 2.5 shows recorded and “in the can” that we’ll work on editing and posting as time permits and we’ll be back to our regular bimonthly (or fortnightly for our friends in Europe!) podcasts soon.  Thanks for hanging on a little while, while we juggle our work and get caught up on the backlog!  Don’t worry…we aren’t dead or going anywhere…

Sincerely,

The games lovin’, MGS Test Crew of Platform Biased

Happy Holidays from Platform Biased

Happy Holidays everyone.

A few notes on the shows/site over the holiday break:

We have a show that will go up today or tomorrow, and more that should continue over the holidays. We’re set baby!

We’re just putting together our re-launch show, and I have to say, it’s really awesome. John + Greg + Chris = silly.

Finally, we’ve updated the blogging software that runs the site to a new version, please leave a comment if you’re seeing anything wonky.

Thanks,
John

iTunes Troubles — FIXED

Filed under Blog

We’ve taken down Episode 27 for a few minutes to try and flush iTunes because what it has is busted. Bear with us, show will be back shortly.

We have top men working on it. Top men.

————————————-

Update: I think we have it resolved. Just waiting on iTunes to pick the show back up. Thanks for bearing with us.

Relaunch

Filed under Blog

We know it’s been forever since we posted a new show. But we’re not dead, we’re not finished, we’re relaunching. Part of the issue has been workload, part of it has been a reduced show cast (just John & Chris).

But we’re working on a relaunch. If you look to the right you’ll notice that our beloved Justin Robey has bid us farewell, but we’re welcoming Porkfry to the show. We’re very fortunate to have Greg aboard, and we’re going to be doing some new things with his help.

Watch this space over the next week for a couple of older shows to be posted that we never got edited properly. After that the relaunch will officially begin, with Pork joining the cast, and more regular shows after that.

Thanks for sticking with us, we’re just getting to the point where we should all be able to say more about the games we’re working on–we’re excited for everyone to hear more about Crackdown 2, [REDACTED] and of course, [REDACTED] :)

Thanks,
Platform Biased

You all have heard of the layoffs at Microsoft. And now I’ll put a human face to it and tell you that I was one whose unlucky number was called. I’m off to bigger and better adventures.

I’ll miss doing the shows with John and Robey. I’m sure they’ll find a great replacement for me and the show will go on.

So keep listening, keep playing games, and hoist a hot pocket for a homie.

Peace out, folks.

But Jeff and John are still out on Holiday’s.  I know you have all been waiting, but apparently John and Jeff needed a little more rest.  The plan is to have our next show out the week of the 12th.  So soon!
