Snow Delay!

Filed under Blog

Hello faithful listeners. This week those of us that bring you this fabulous show were stricken by a sudden debilitating phenomenon called… snow . This plague has daunted us for the past 5 days inflicting horrible trials such as, but not limited to, days without power, large amounts of time spent at home with our families, no free pop, and other trials too horrible to describe.

We have finally been able to persevere and trudge through the icy hell that is the Pacific Northwest and make it into work so that we can let you know that our podcast, Show 075, the “Best of the Year” show, has been delayed until next week. We apologize for this inconvenience and blame it fully on the snow .

MNC Night Saturday 9/10/2011 from 7pm to 10pm PST

Chris’s Office…

In response to some questions about what action figures we each have in our offices…here is a partial shot of my (Chris’s) office.  Notice the Viva Pinata figures on top of the book shelf along with the Halo 3 slurpee cups, lots of movies on DVD, Blu-ray, and HD-DVD for dinners during crunch mode, M.U.S.C.L.E. figures, Generation 1 Transformers (Hound, Blitzwing, Ironhide, Ratchet) Invader Zim & Gir toys, Morrigan from Capcom’s Darkstalkers, Terry Bogards Fatal Fury hat, an old Mega Drive system, some Final Fantasy XIII Play Arts figures of Lightning and Vanille, Autobot and Decepticon logo pillows for my couch, a Dead or Alive Ultimate wall scroll, Flash Gordon, Aliens (Hicks), Street Fighter (Ken), Indiana Jones, and Crimson Skies toys on the wall under the bookshelf, and even a Gradius model on my desk.  I’m also holding an old WWF Championship belt. 

February 2010!

This is about 1/2 of the “toys” in my office.  ; )

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
