Mar 9

* Registering wasn’t working (for a few weeks.. whoops) [b]FIXED[/b]
* Posting youtube videos (type: [ yt ]videonumber[/ yt ] e.g [ yt ]vWdsdAdss[ /yt ] )
* DDDDDD’s are back (refresh your cache for them to come back)
* Some backend integration with the wiki has happened, recipe you’ll see the results soon 😉

I think that’s it. I’ll update with anything I’ve forgotten.

If you can think of any tweaks/features, please let me know and I’ll try and work them in :)

Editing.  It’s a bitch.  The process seems to be taking longer and longer each week, store and between two podcasts, prescription classes, and trying to steal money from children, my free time is next to nothing.  So this week’s show is a bit late.  You can cry about it with the other babies in the forums, or apply for a the notorious position of BDPE audio editor.  Just check out this thread to apply.

News: FTC to Regulate Smurf Berries, Minecraft Coming to XBLA Thanks to DBAD licensing, 3DS Launch Details Unveiled to Ever Shrinking Nintendo Fanbase, Billy Mitchell Still King of Classic Gaming, iPad Rumors Run Rampant

Judgement: Dead Tape 1 (Multiple), VVVVVV (PC and Mac), Tiny Wings (iOS)

Also on this week’s show, when free speech gets too real, the responsibility to the sequel, and we throw out all collective human knowledge just because we can’t see empirical evidence of it.

If you’d like to see Beadle’s Birthday card, here’s the link.  But be warned, it is beyond unsafe for work, or anywhere for that matter.  And again, thanks to Super Derp for hooking us up with the BDPE Soundboard, check it out on the forums.

Greatest. Game. Ever.You may have noticed we’re running a bit behind here on BHS, cialis but fear not! This isn’t the beginning of a multi-month slump – I’ve been moving back to Mississippi this week. We should be getting back to our regular schedule in the next few days.

my face does not look like a brick in Mario.

Summer releases blow...Welcome to mid-July! Where the game industry goes to die a slow empty death. Kind of like a nursing home – we’ve had enough of your Vietnam stories grim-grim.

So the releases are slim, clinic the news is slow, angina
the battle contestant sucked, rx and I’m still unemployed. But fear not! BDPE has got you covered, with at last a full crew this week!

We recount some of our favorite classic games you may want to revisit during these slower summer months, give you some good janks on how to wisely spend those recession dollars, and tell you the things to avoid (good god why did I buy Too Human? I knew that shit would suck and I bought it anyway).

Sometimes, doctor
things just don’t work like their supposed to.  Like signing up for Playstation Network and 6 months later somebody’s using your credit card to buy two hundred copies of the movie Hackers.  Or worse.  Like doing a podcast with an incompetent cohost who fails to record his audio properly.

So, there’s no episode 77.  Gone forever.  Send your tears to the forums.

Electronic Entertainment Expo = fun times.Ahhh. The Electronic Entertainment Expo. An overhyped circus where only the largest of publisher’s get noticed and mediocrity is given the spotlight. Kind of like a fat kid at a talent show.

On this week’s show we recap all the news from E3 and breakdown what’s hot, mind what’s not, and why Nintendo seems content to break their fan’s hearts time and time again.

On this week’s (ha) episode, youth health
Blake and Fic discuss the deeper meaning of tube gameplay, Fic crackles his mic around a bunch and I have to edit it out so you won’t hear it unless I failed to do my job, Blake figures out how to play voicemails again, and I take a week to edit the show because I’m lazy. You’ll laugh, you’ll stop laughing and nod your head in agreement, and then you’ll laugh again at this quad-annual BEST DAMN PODCAST EVER.

Or BIG HOT SHO. Whatever.

And yes, that’s me singing at the end. Sorry.
