Issue 121: The Third Strongest PB & Jason


Posted on 04/24/2013 at 08:05 PM | Filed Under Feature

Today's will be a day late. I'm feeling lazy. Expect it tomorrow.

And, Mr. Step, that's because the air conditioner in my apartment can be very loud sometimes. I'll alter the mic's sensitivity next time around, and maybe it'll more difficult to hear the air conditioner relative to me.

Well, bad news. This PB & Jason was going to be about Mega Man, so Capcom cancelled it. There'll be one the regular day next week. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Space Invaders Infinity Gene! (so good)

I reviewed this one back when it came out. A lot of a fun, a solid game for a geat price. If you like Shoot-'em-ups, this is probably one worth considering, particularly because of all the different ships. I'll be mentioning this on the next PB & Jason, memory permitting. :)

I have bad news again, gang. I'm just not in the PB & Jason mood this evening, so I'm postponing the next PB & Jason for tomorrow. Catch it then!

I would exactly state it like that. The biggest of the three actually want as many people in as possible, as best as I can gather. At least, that's the case at E3. In 2011, I went to the show and was able to get into Sony and Microsoft's press conferences without issue without an invitation or anything along those lines. I had proper credentials, sure, but I didn't have to prove anything about readership. I did have my E3 media badge at that point, though.

However, that's where the mystery kind of goes. It makes Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo look good if they treat the little guy well, even if they don't care anything for or about them. Whether they do or don't, I don't know. However, if an organization like the ESA is the one making the tough decisions at the request of the gaming giants, then it is possible for the giants to squash sites like us through a proxy like the ESA without sullying their names.

And, really, I'm not saying that's the case. At the same time, though, the ESA does stand for a lot of things these companies, individually, say they don't agree with (Remember SOPA and PIPA?), which suggests the ESA is being used that way to some degree, although that doesn't mean anything direct about the relationship between publishers and the media.

I'll get into a fun story about E3 registration in 2011 next week. It's on an older podcast, don't get me wrong, but it's certainly striking.

N64 Glitching Out

I would guess that the issue is actually one involving the pins in the N64 that connect to the cartridge. Some of those things resemble things that happen when cartridges aren't inserted correctly, and such, I believe.

I have bad news! I'm postponing this week's PB & Jason until tomorrow. Sorry! Things can always come up to stall me, and it's sad to say one of those things happened. Tune in tomorrow night for the show.

While we're at it, was there any interest in a regular, live PB & Jason? Leave a message, and perhaps it can happen. I imagine recording would start around 8 or 9 PM EST if we did something live, so let me know if you'd want to attend!

Well....

I haven't written all that many blogs here on PixlBit, but the blog posting page seems pretty similar to the article posting page, though it isn't exactly the same, don't get me wrong. I've not once had something disappear on me. I wish we knew the problem so Nick could resolve it! I really feel bad whenever someone's hard work just disappears.

I have a question!

Back when the Wii U was waiting on a release date, we made a bet. For pizza. Now that you don't live in Florida, when will I ever be able to pay for that pizza that I owe?!

I can answer this one, I bet!

He plans to get the kids to start with the NES, with things like the Mario titles, and then he'll work his way up from there. That said, games like "Once Upon a Monster," would be exceptions he'd have them play sooner, since they're age appropriate!

^That's from memory from talking a while back, though. And my memory can get some details wrong. So yeah, don't be surprised if the answer Nick gives is different. >.>

As far as the ESRB goes, I imagine he mostly ignores it. I don't think this is a discussion the two of us have had, but if someone's knowledgeable about video games, the ESRB is a bit unnecessary. If Nick didn't follow games, he might rely on them a little bit to make purchase decisions, especially now that they actually detail what content caused the game to receive the rating it received.

Although, I suppose that's more my answer than his, so I'm cheating there. What can I say? I like to nab a little bit of the spotlight here and there.
