Articles from March 2010

Playing through Mega Man 10 reminded me of this old video. Someone modded Mega Man 2 so you have to fight every robot master in the game at once. I don’t even want to know how hard this guy had to practice to pull this off.

I just finished tallying up all the wins and losses from this years Oscars. Not that this comes a surprise to anyone that listened to the episode, but Walrus King won. WK guessed 9 awards correctly while I guessed 6. I also noticed some of the movies I went “wild card” with won.

Walrus King correctly guessed:

• Best Documentary: The Cove
• Original Song: Crazy Heart
• Short Film: The New Tenants
• Sound Editing: The Hurt Locker
• Sound Mixing: The Hurt Locker
• Visual Effects: Avatar
• Costume Design: Young Victoria
• Supporting Actress: Mo’Nique
• Supporting Actor: Christoph Waltz

While I correctly guessed:

• Make Up: Star Trek
• Original Score: Up
• Visual Effects: Avatar
• Animated Film: Up
• Leading Actress: Sandra Bullock
• Supporting Actor: Christoph Waltz

So far the only two ideas for the loser are do a video blog dancing or wearing cat ears. Any other suggestions?

Another year, another Oscarcast. However this year there’s a twist, the loser has to do something. We couldn’t decide what it would be, so once again we default to you guys. Leave a suitable punishment in the comments section and we’ll act on it as so as we can.

Okay I can’t think of anything else to type. Enjoy the episode.

Hey guys I just added some new features to the site to improve happy fun time enjoyment.

Firstly I fixed the glitch where the the page layout went nuts if you accessed the comments section while not logged in. Still not sure what caused the bug in the first place, however after moving some files and code around it’s fixed.

Secondly I made it so an account is no longer required to leave comments on the site. I figured this was pretty inconvenient to casual listeners of the podcast, so I made it so you no longer need one. Existing account members can now log in using the handy box in the right hand sidebar.

I also added a feature that makes it so people who don’t have avatars can easily get one from Gravatar. I’m not sure if this one works yet, but supposedly if you don’t have an avatar the next time you post a comment it will give you the option of getting one with a little check box. Let me know if this one’s working.

And last but not least I’ve added some subscription buttons so you can subscribe to the podcast in your music player of choice. There’s iTunes (which I’d recommend), Zune (who finally accepted our feed into their database after A YEAR of trying), or the raw RSS feed (if you’d rather subscribe to the show using a feed reader).

We’re still working on the problems with the podcast player. If we can’t get them resolved we’ll be switching to a different one soon. I’ll try not to make it a flash one (because no-one really likes flash, we just tolerate it), but we might have to.

Douzo!

Brooklyn Rage was my song pick last episode, so here’s the original video that littlekuriboh uploaded a while back. The song is already funny, but the visuals really knocks it out of the park. Enjoy!
