Kyle Orland, formerly of Crispy Gamer, comes on to talk about how he got his start and what happened this past week with the editorial side being shut down.  He also joins us for a really fun El Juego, based on the words Montage, Unabashed, & Misinform!  Following the formal show, Brendan and I chime in with a new segment called the Crunch Time Shit List; a collection of our thoughts on where we think sequels to established franchises should move in the future.  Again, as always, this is a chapter enabled show, so you can skip around as you please!

Welcome to 2010!  This should be our last show with technical issues, promise.  There are 3, one minute periods in the show, where the audio gets a little wonky, and there’s nothing I can do about that.  My iMac comes on the 22nd, so next week we should be all set to livestream and produce the video show!  Thanks for your support guys and gals, we’d love to hear from you!

Hey everyone! As you all know we haven’t necessarily been able to shake the technical hurdles that the show faces on the current 4 year old MacBook Pro rig. We hear you loud and clear! Mid January, I’m upgrading to a new quad core iMac with 8GB of ram in hopes we’ll be able to drastically improve our current performance. This should also give us the necessary power boost to start live streaming again! In preparation of that event, I spiffed up our Livestream Page to accommodate the new video broadcast of the show! I was pretty happy with how it turned out, so I entered into Livestream’s “Custom Channel Page Design Contest”. Turns out we made the top 10 and voting is going on right now!

Please support the show and vote for us! The top 3 finalists of the contest get a free year of Premium streaming which runs 350 extra dollars a month that we don’t have. We would really appreciate your support!

A heads up to this week’s upcoming show, we’re running our first annual year end awards show special on Thursday. Have a happy holidays everyone, and we hope you enjoy whats coming next year!

*Breathes In*  Ahh nostalgia.  We’ve got a killer show for you today!  Brendan and I take you down memory lane as we talk about our first gaming experiences ++ our thoughts on Auditorium and Stair Dismount for the iPhone ++ The Zombie Island of Dr Ned DLC for Borderlands in our review segment.  Our El Juego this week is something of a two parter, with some cool uncharted territory for games kicking it off, and ending with a solid, well developed conversation piece.  Really fun/interesting stuff this week!

We take on SEX in games today on Crunch Time, with our El Juego BAMF.  I think we’ve finally drilled it down to something everyone can understand: deep shame.  In addition, join us this week as we discuss Destructoid’s AC2 review, God of War: Chains of Olympus, and the Civilization series.
