TheBBPS Episode 05 - The Slow News Week Edition

[audio:http://www.thebbps.com/podcast/Bitcast_Episode_05.mp3]

This is what happens when we skip a couple weeks. We all get constipation of the mouth that only gets relieved when we start talking to each other about what we've been playing. Next thing you know almost an hour has past and you're severely off track. It comes back together and though some things fall apart you can at least rest assured that it all gets rushed in the end.

Be sure to include your comments on what Xerxes3rd would like us to ponder!

This week we talk about:

• What We've Been Playing
• Halfie's Review
• BitCast Byte Back

Song: Spoonman

And now, the exciting conclusion to our Grand Theft Auto IV show. It says something about the game that we could have probably kept going and done a three part show, but I think we cover a pretty good amount of territory. Be sure to hit up our forums or the comments below and chime in on your thoughts about what we had to say!

This week we talk about:

• Grand Theft Auto IV, Part 2

This Week's BitCast Music:

Song: Been Caught Stealing

Artist: Jane's Addiction

Album: Ritual de lo Habitual

We're finally back after a couple week break that we didn't plan on taking, but that's how it goes sometimes! In the midst of recording our return show we quickly realized that we were going to run WAY long and some of us didn't have that time to give. The problem was that we were having a pretty good talk about GTA IV and didn't want to rip off all our faithful listeners so now we're presenting the first part of our very first two part show! Part 2 should be recorded this week and hopefully posted near the end of the week, if all goes well.

This week we talk about:

• What'cha Been Playing?
• Grand Theft Auto IV, Part 1

This Week's BitCast Music:

Song: Been Caught Stealing

Artist: Jane's Addiction

Album: Ritual de lo Habitual

Got the Humanoid!

Come with me and take a look behind the curtain won't you? This week's episode has a little behind the scenes chatter leading up to our "start" of the podcast, mostly because we thought it was funny and since we actually came in under and hour figured what the hell. Funny story, we thought this podcast as fucked cause of some audio glitch but closing and opening the files seemed to fix the problem... thank god we tried that.

Show Notes:

• Want to buy our fearless leader a present? Dan could definitely benefit from My French Coach.
• Ryan likes to turn his TV sideways while playing Ikaruga. He also wears his shoes on his hands and lives in Rand McNally, where hamburgers eat people.
• Jimmy bought Drumshhh based on Ryan's review and whole-heartedly endorses the product. How did you quiet down your drums?
• Three words: Ultimate Flash Sonic. Stop reading and go play now.
• Jimmy's playing an obscure little PopCap produced Qix-clone called Cosmic Bugs -- check out the trial here.
• Third-party guitar hero controllers kick ass, like this -- The Simpsons: Otto's Axe.
• Importers be warned: MarioKart and Freeloader don't mix.
• And now the latest in last gen news -- Nintendo announces the white GameCube controller.
• And now... StrongBad for the Wii.
• ...oh wait? We've had that before? SNAP!!
• and let's not forget the long-abandoned Homestar Runner RPG for the Atari 2600.
