So, the details behind Left 4 Dead's survival mode were easily predictable, but it's still awesome to see some gameplay video. Can't wait!

Podcast Download Issues?
So I've heard from a few listeners who are having problems downloading the podcast. We can start posting the show to a separate location if we need to. Before we do that though, I kind of wanted to know how many people are having issues. It could just be Mypodcast acting up again, but, if you're having problems downloading, could you leave a comment and let me know how your trying to listen to the show (ex. Itunes, Downloading off Mypodcast, using player on Mypodcast)? That would help out a ton.
Thanks guys,

A deal that cannot be resisted.
So I talked about wanting to pick up Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts several shows ago. I've put if off not because of the price, but because I've had soooo many other games to play. Well, if there was ever a day to buy Nuts and Bolts. Today is that day, Amazon is selling the game brand new for $19.98. I just placed my order, you should do the same.

Beautiful things take time.......lots of it.
So I've been playing some Castle Crashers recently, and I came across a few boss and level development videos that Behemoth posted on Vimeo. It's really awesome to get a glimpse of the time and care that went into the project. The first video is a time lapse of Dan Paladin developing the Frost King boss, and the second is a time lapse of him working on the "Tall Grass Field" level.
Also, I've talked to a few people recently who are into Castle Crashers but haven't checked out Alien Hominid. I definitely suggest playing it out if you enjoyed Castle Crashers. It may be more challening and a little different as far as gameplay goes, but it's full of the same polish and charm. It's fairly cheap on XBL, and you can find it extremely cheap for PS2 and Gamecube.
Have a good week guys,

Official PSP2 News Coming Soon?
With new details of the PSP2 or PSP-4000 emerging, is their an guaranteed unveiling for the handheld for this years E3? I would like to think so at least. In my opinion it seems like the PSP is going downhill and Sony isn't really doing much to keep the system alive these days. Nintendo just launched their DSi not too long ago and its flying off the shelves in Japan whilst the PSP is slowly falling off the handheld bandwagon. I'm not trying to disown my PSP, in fact, it angers me that many games are not being developed for it but what does Sony exactly have in store for the current iteration of the PSP?
Just recently Sony announced games like Assassin's Creed and LBP for the PSP and theirs also talk about a new GTA and a new GOW but is it too late? I haven't touched my PSP since FFVII: Crisis Core came out and I always tell myself that I'm going to get back into some PSP gaming but I never do. I always seem to turn to my DS. Now that could be just because the fact that I am a RPG nut and the DS is literally littered with them but even when I played Crisis Core I fealt that the PSP was just too bulky to carry around. Now again, thats just my opinion but I really don't see anything bringing me back to the PSP.
Now the rumors are that the new PSP will be UMD-less and have some sort of a slidable screen. Nothing was mentioned about touch screen or an added analog stick but both additions would be greatly appreciated. I really can't imagine Sony not taking advantage of touch screen features and incorporating them into the PSP2. It seems like everything is going that way these days and the second analog stick would get rid of a lot of peoples complaints about the original PSP. Now everything mentioned so far is just rumors but the job posting from Sony for new hardware testers is pretty high for speculation.
I don't know, I would like to believe that the rumors are true. I'm ready for a new PSP. If Sony can solve the hardware faults of the original and put a better front up against the piracy issue, they can defiantly put up a fight against the DS and now the iPhone. I believe that Sony will unveil the new PSP at E3. I think its time and it would defiantly give Sony the talk of the show this year if nothing else. Anyways, what do you guys think? Is it time for a new PSP or should Sony keep pushing the original?

Hey peoples,
I've already mentioned it quite a bit during episode 5, but I wanted to make a post about our live broadcast project over at JTV. So far, I've played the majority of REmake, some Tomb Raider: Anniversary, Halo 3, Castle Crashers and Bioshock all live on JustinTv. It's been alot of fun, I've gotten to know and even played some games with people from chat. I wanted to give a shout out to some new friends who've made JTV super awesome for me so far.
I'm sure there are others that I've missed, and I apologize. We've had alot of fun so far, so check it out if you haven't! Special thanks to Fan for being the raddest mod ever and making a shload of highlights for me.
I want to get some people together to play L4D one night too, so send me a message over XBL if you're interested in playing or let me know in chat sometime.
Happy March!
