Articles from August 2010

You’re walking down a hallway. You look to your left, there’s no one there. You turn to your right and you see an envelope on top of a table. You open it only to find it full of sand. Then you wake up with stains on your crotch and bedsheets.

The question is, how do you know if you’re still dreaming? Are you dreaming now? DID I BLOW YOUR MIND!?!?!

So yeah this episode we talk about Inception (or did we? KICK). We also want lots of comments about the people you would jump into to (listen to the episodes for more info). We also answered a Canadian’s questions. Silly Canadian.

Also I’m finally opening the creation of our opening theme song to our listeners. I was going to make a new Halloween opening, but decided to give all of you a try instead. You’ve got till October 1st to send in entries, and the one we pick will be our new Halloween opening. Get your musical juices flowing! Do not fail me again Starscream.

Get ready…..FIGHT!

Congratulations everyone who has waited these long months for a new episode, your patience has payed off. After a long hiatus of making episodes (self imposed because there were a lot of games I wanted to play) we’re finally rolling out new ones.

This week I’m joined by M as we discuss all the summer movies we’ve watched. We hit almost all of them except one, which will be discussed next week. The movie that gets discussed the most this episode is Toy Story 3 (just in case you didn’t get that from the episode title). We get pretty in depth, and there are spoilers galore so be warned. However if you haven’t seen the movie, what’s the matter with you? Go see it!

Also HOW THE HELL DO VAMPIRES WORK NOW?!? HOW?!?!?!

Click the link in the sidebar or refresh your player of choice to listen. Hope the episode has been worth the wait. I let it go about 20 minutes longer than a normal episode since we haven’t had one in a while.

Funny story. This weeks episode was all recorded and ready to go out. Then I started playing Starcraft,  I’m playing through the first one since I recently picked it up from Best Buy. “It’s okay,” I thought “I’ve got four hours to edit the podcast. I’ll just play about thirty minutes of Starcraft and then edit the show. After all the mission can’t take that long.

Three and a half hours later I was still trying to take out the ion cannon and the episode still hadn’t been finished.

Moral of the story? If you make a podcast NEVER play Starcraft. The games just go on, and on, and on. Just when you think y0u’re ready to make your big push the computer counters with eighty siege tanks and a battle cruiser, leaving you a battered imitati0n of your original strike force.

It is a sad feeling friends. But it is war, and war is hell.

Speaking of Starcraft who picked up the squeal? I know Sir Michael did and we haven’t seen or heard from him since the game launched.

If you’ve been listening to Villainy INC for a while now, you know that for some odd reason summers are murder on this show. We usually go on hiatus, audio quality takes a massive hit, and I resort to drinking to dull the pain.

Well worry not our faithful listeners because it looks like the worst is behind us. I’ve just recorded a couple episodes with M and I’m going to try and schedule recordings with WK and SM (I’m far too lazy to type the full names) soon. I’ve also got my mixing board and microphone here, so I don’t have to use the “ghetto” setup of having a crappy logitech mic and turning the sensitivity up all the way.

Also the booze finally ran out so I’m finally sober enough to edit.

I don’t want to give a definant date, but they’ll most likly start airing next Friday. If not, the next Friday.

While finding a job and getting my paperwork in order really contributed to our absence, listed here are the real culprits behind the massive delay in episodes:

1. Super Mario Galaxy 2
2. Final Fantasy XIII
3. Mass Effect 2
4. Team Fortress 2
5. Transformers: War for Cybertron
6. Sin and Punishment: Star Succusor
7. Resident Evil 4

Shame on you vidja games! Especially you Final Fantasy XIII! You took me 2 months to beat. That could have been 2 months of editing podcasts!
