Digital Scribbles Episode 4 Now Available

Digital Scribbles Episode 4 now available! Reviewing...

DigiFail - This episode the topic of the Dabel Brothers.
Ghostbusters IDW
Commentary - Comics over Candy
The X-Files Volume 1 (Devil's Due)

New episode this August covering free comic samplers from Devil's Due (leading to a vote asking you what you want to see reviewed). Coming Mid August!

3DS Update : Big Brother Mode engaged

This may be a first for a handheld, but as of this new update it is now no longer possible to graph unauthorized hardware to the 3DS, or unauthorized software as the 3DS now is enabled with a killswitch to shut it down if you try to mod it with software amd tech forbidden by Nintendo.

I'm going to take it, then, that the makers of PSPVC might as well scrap plans for a 3DSVC version as no doubt that'll trip the killswitch. Ditto with anyone's plans to mod the 3DS, all sniped in the bud before they could launch. Oh well, sorry.

But still this wasn't unsuspected. We knew the 3DS was going to be region locked, we just didn't know that would require a virtual gun being pointed at 3DS owners heads.

Next update should be Nintendo Video. Stay tuned.

I gave it my all (submissions for video game reviewing work)

Finally had a chance to try and prove my merits as a reviewer. Presently it is a volunteer reviewing job, but it is work once again so that is quite important. Most important. So fingers crossed as I await my fate, please cross your fingers for me please. Thank you.

So what am I reviewing? For Nintendo it is the DS/3DS and commentary coverage of the Wii U as we spend a year counting down to release, as well as Somy's PSP. I plan to add back Nintendo's Wii in October knock on wood.

Update on my fate in this regard coming one day, stay tuned.

Visiting from Square Enix Members?

By now everyone is locked out for the time being. Please, if possible, become a follower of the blog please.

Sorry I'm so late updating. Been cleaning. I'll try to update tonight.

Next episode we catch up with Power Rangers Samurai and Supah Ninjas storywise, and where the series are now... and what you can get on the Playstation Network.

Also reviewing Disney's Kickin It, and why it might be worth watching... once you know what your getting into, and how you need to be a little forgiving when considering it.

I will then work on finishing Digital Scribbles Episode 4, and put work to put out 3DS Life Episode 4 out this week... I have a commentary you need to listen to in light of the newest press conference by Nintendo concerning their lack of concern regarding free gaming slash social media gaming (aka the 800 pound gorrila in the room Nintendo refuses to speak of) and Nintendo's future with free downloadable demos.

Stay tuned for updates!

Podcast Update for July 8th

Well here we are and the start of a new weekend... only due to circumstances beyond my control nothing got done yet except for that I could control, script writing... but the rest, including the assembly of the casts?

3DS Listeners Check Out Power Rangers Henshin Episode 6

Somehow I ended up commenting on Nintendo's reasons behind no plug-ins for their systems, which is logical and sad since their bottom line is more important than their fanbase as you'll see. Check it out once its out.

As for a cast update? Today I should be working to finish it, so it should be out tonight knock on wood and all that. Stay tuned.

Lockout the Review Cast?

A couple of review casts with the theme of the present double lockout now going on? That might be in the cards.

3DS Life
Got a few sports games, but might try to find a few more for the cast.

Game As You Go
I have to look again, I know Madden is available but what else... well, maybe just Madden is fine... not a big sports fanatic as you probably guessed.

PSP DLC Life
Hmm... have to think about it.

Anyway looking for reviewers for the casts, stay tuned for more info as we (and the situation) rolls on.

July 2011 - Minisodes

Working all this month on minicasts of 20 minutes... an experiment to see if smaller bites of cast prove popular or not. We will see.

Anyway we started the Independence Weekend casts with a double release, Game As You Go (mobile game reviews) and Arcade Jukebox (gaming music cast). A full version (both casts together as originally planned) is coming at the end of the weekend. That'll be one of the indicators of whether or not minicasts take off, but again we will see.

Updates on other casts in the work this weekend coming up shortly. Stay tuned.

July 2011 Vote - Minisodes?

Putting up a vote shortly. The question is about the size of casts. Would you be more inclined to download casts if we started putting out 20 minute minicasts? That's the question posed. Make new 20 minute casts or not? Vote today, thank you.

And as always we are looking for new followers to follow the blog so please recommend us please.
