So yeah, we haven’t recorded a podcast in about a month. Bad news is, this isn’t a new podcast. Good news is, thanks to James, Episode 9 was resurrected almost literally from the dead.

Where has music gone? Recently I have been listening to hip hop from the mid 80′s to late 90′s, for whatever reason. The more I listen to it, the more I realize that 90% of hip hop that comes out now is complete and utter crap. Now I am not someone that starts an argument and have no knowledge of the subject matter. I have the chops to back it up. Let me show you a little more of the reason why I say this.

An evil clown is on the loose. He is trying to run down other cars on the road in his ice-cream truck, his head is on fire and he is shooting out ice-cream cone missiles. No it isn’t the plot to some failed attempt by the Insane Clown Posse to break into NASCAR… its just part of the fun of Twisted Metal.

There will come a day, probably soon, where kids growing up will have no idea what being in an Arcade was like. It is probably hard for most adults my age, and a little older, to imagine such a thing, but sadly, it is true.

Back in the late 80′s there was a thing at Burger King called “Burger Buddies”. I don’t remember how long they lasted, but I know this, they were delicious when I was a kid. Well they are back, I guess in a way.

I had never heard of Rise of the Triad (ROTT for short) but i loved other first person shooters on the PC and was willing to try something new. Boy am i glad i did.
