STAShow 2.0

All the time spent getting the first 52 Episodes edited for the Season One DVD, and doing non-podcast stuff ended up delaying this episode by almost two days. We promise that wasn’t on purpose. Either way, here it is, enjoy! Unfortunately, because of the delay, the show notes aren’t very complete, but you were going to listen to the whole episode anyway. Right? This week, we talked about: Twisted Metal Capcom The Super Bowl Electronic cigarettes Intro Lowash – Those Aren’t My Pants (STAShow Theme) (www.soundcloud.com/lowash) Outro The Static Cult – Birth of a Nation

In this episode… After last week’s slow episode, this week was a triumph full of win and awesome. This is the way things should be. This week, we talked about: Zombies New rules for sports The Hungry Owl NFL Pro 2012 Steam Mobile Beta Party of Sin Our RetroBlazer interview The Season One DVD Spicy ketchup Google Currents Back To The Future Telltale Games Saints Row: The Third XenoCube Resident Evil: Revelations Twisted Metal Formula D The used games market Our new crazy food show idea Intro Lowash – Those Aren’t My Pants (STAShow Theme) (www.soundcloud.com/lowash) Break (Kinda) A Day To Remember – A Second Glance Outro You Me At Six – Stay With Me (Acoustic)

Recently, Adam and Cris had some time to talk about RetroBlazer with the game’s creator, Amil Parra. He talked about how the game has progressed, other games he’d like to make, and what plans he has for RetroBlazer, among other topics. Remember to check the game out at www.RetroBlazer.com, where you can download the current alpha build for free. Be sure to let him know what you think of the game so far, and be on the lookout for more updates on RetroBlazer as they develop. Enjoy the interview!

This week’s episode started off a little shaky, but evened out by the end. Pretty normal stuff for an STAShow episode. This week we talked about: Indies and Undies Let’s Get Fiscal DLC Quest Dead Pixels Contre Jour Adam’s TV died Get rich quick schemes The Season One DVD Trying to make Formula D Cris in a music video Pizza Hut and McDonald’s Intro Lowash – Those Aren’t My Pants (STAShow Theme) (www.soundcloud.com/lowash) Break Secretions – Boner Sloppy Meateaters – Shonka Tonk Outro Dishwalla – Counting Blue Cars

In this episode… Can you believe it? It’s the LAST episode of Season One. The good news is that even though it’s been two weeks since we hit the studio, we haven’t missed a beat, and got right back to it. We can’t wait to start Season Two from MAGFest X next week. We’ll keep you updated on what we see while we’re there. This week, we talked about: Get-rich-quick schemes What we played Christmas Bumper Stickers MAGFest X Holidays 2012 Steroids Our favorite moments of gaming in 2011 Intro Lowash – Those Aren’t My Pants (STAShow Theme) (www.soundcloud.com/lowash) Outro The Word Alive – Heartless

In this episode… It’s Christmas! Well, when we recorded, it wasn’t… but it probably is now (if you download this right away). If not, it was some time in the past. This week, we talked about: Christmas Christmas gifts Christmas cartoons Christmas movies Christmas music Christmas video games Video game cutscenes Santa The Tooth Fairy The past The future MAGFest Intro Lowash – Those Aren’t My Pants (STAShow Theme) (www.soundcloud.com/lowash) Break Eazy-E – Merry Muthaphuckkin’ Xmas Outro Taking Back Sunday – Merry Christmas (I Missed You So Much)

In this episode… Can you believe it’s been FIFTY EPISODES? The power supply on the PC Cris uses is dying, so it wouldn’t work for the first few minutes of the show. Once it got better, things were a little closer to normal. We were so blown away, that we could only come up with a really crappy title, because nothing was good enough to represent our 50th episode. So, sorry about that. This week, we talked about: Our Game(s) of the year Skyrim Portal 2 Bulletstorm Bethesda Valve Batman Adam finished Rage GoldenEye 007: Reloaded Sonic Generations Tribes: Ascend NFL Week 15 insanity Packers lose, Colts win Tim Tebow Dan Marino’s single-season passing record Longest field goals Video gaming habits Do kids play differently now than 20 years ago? Speed runs Intro Lowash – Those Aren’t My Pants (STAShow Theme) (www.soundcloud.com/lowash) Outro Blink 182 – The Party Song

Why do we even do this? What the hell kind of title is “Stink Finger?” Well, it’s the title for Episode 49. That’s what kind of title it is. Don’t question us! This week, we talk about… The VGAs Our Game of the Year nominations Adam meeting Bobby Bowden Mythbusters The NBA trade madness The NFL playoff picture and more… Intro Lowash – Those Aren’t My Pants (STAShow Theme) (www.soundcloud.com/lowash) Outro Reliant K – The 12 Days of Christmas

In this episode… We did some reworking of the studio last week, to try finding a more streamlined system for recording. Unfortunately, we didn’t get all the way there. So, we hooked most of the stuff back up, and did what we could. Things sounded a little weird here and there, but it wasn’t anything major. Hopefully we’ll get it all worked out before Season 2 starts. This week, among other things, we talked about: The Dark Knight Rises Other Batman movies Willy Wonka Game of the Year The BCS Debacle Gatorade MAGFest Intro Lowash – Those Aren’t My Pants (STAShow Theme) (www.soundcloud.com/lowash) Outro Terror – Your Enemies Are Mine

In this episode… For better or worse, Jeff has left the show. This is the first episode in the post-Jeff era. We did what we normally do, but with a smaller number of people. That’s really all there is to say. This week, we talked about: Jeff leaving Modern Warfare 3 LOTS of Skyrim GOTY Nominations Metallica and Lou Reed STA Studios 2.0 Adding a new member of the show Intro Lowash – Those Aren’t My Pants (STAShow Theme) (www.soundcloud.com/lowash) Break Mest – Until I Met You Outro Fenix TX – All My Fault

In this episode… This one went okay, but there were some unexpected changes in the recording software, so it ended up recording too loudly, and there was a pretty noticeable buzz in the background. Most of it has been edited out, but it kinda sucks. Sorry about that. Because editing took so long, there’s not a great deal as far as notes go, so that sucks. This week, we talked about: More Assassin’s Creed More Skyrim More Modern Warfare 3 More Halo Anniversary More Saints Row Cute Things Dying Violently Game of the Year ideas Games that could take a new direction And a few other things Intro Lowash – Those Aren’t My Pants (STAShow Theme) (www.soundcloud.com/lowash) Outro Goodness – Electricity, Electricity

In this episode… There were lots of big releases this week (that’s what she said), and amazingly, we were able to play most of them in time for the show. It’s like we’re real journalists or something. For whatever reason, about halfway through the episode, everything got really quiet and required a lot of cleanup during editing. Hopefully everything sounds okay. Anyway, there was a ton of stuff going on the day after the show, so the notes aren’t very detailed. This week, we talked about: Skyrim Modern Warfare 3 Battlefield 3 Halo Anniversary Assassin’s Creed: Revelations Saints Row: The Third Dead End Thrills (http://deadendthrills.com) Answer Pants and Rampant Radio (http://rampantradio.com) Game sequels The autotuned porn segment Intro Lowash – Those Aren’t My Pants (STAShow Theme) (http://soundcloud.com/lowash) Outro Buffalo Rodeo – All The Same (http://buffalorodeo.bandcamp.com)

In this episode… This week we went full-on video games. There were some debates, some thoughts on where the industry should go, talk of upcoming games, and tons of other stuff. There was a weird static sound happening in the background for about 10 minutes in the first part of the episode, but it went away. We still haven’t figured out where it came from. Aside from that, this was probably one of the best episodes so far. In fact, we got so into the show, we didn’t take any breaks, and ended up running 30 minutes longer than normal. Now THAT’S impressive. This week, we talked about: (0:00) Intro It’s been almost a year… Adam went camping Raccoons Our YouTube channel (5:00) GooTube Danica Patrick Asshole Mario What we’ve been playing Sneak King, PocketBike Racer, and Big Bumpin’ (10:00) Burger King’s Cheesy Tots and BK Mocha Joe Cris is focused DC Universe Online DCUO F2P Adam talks about DCUO DCUO vs City of Heroes (15:00) More on DCUO Sonic Generations Haze BOOSH!
