Hosts:

• Bex Bradley
• Bruce Carr
• John Noonan

Our illustrious Show Producer Bruce managed to lose the first recording of Episode 49, so as punishment we made him join us on our retaping.

Basically, Bruce John & Bex talk about the games we’ve been playing, and muse about some of the announcements that were made at the Spike VGAs, talk about shiny new Windows Phones, and generally give Bruce a hard time.

Our next episode is our semicentennial! That means 50. RAD! We’re going to talk about our favorite games of 2010.

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.  ; )
