Well, we are more behind than entirely necessary it seems. We were waiting for 3PM to post the cast, turns out we could have done it earlier, but I decided to REedit the cast due to the HORRIBLE quality of the first attempt. Glad I did too. So no matter what you think of the quality of this weeks cast… I promise you it’s 100X better than it was.

Anyway… We have a special congrats in store which was the entire reason for us having the time delay.

Distractions as usual. Including some initial impressions on Crisis Core and Jason getting motion sick! Not to mention Chris wondering … why … he plays Warhawk. A bit of news, the gangsta edition. Then we touch on digital distribution and what we think of it. We have a load of GREAT emails from listeners so tune in!
New Releases… or lack there of.
A week without the infamous Nabo-mails.
Finally, the new question of the week. OMGZORZ, it’s Episode 19 of the Interactive Distractions Podcast!

Happy Easter and Happy Birthday to Jason (3/22).

Sorry we’re late this week. Jason was sick on Thursday so we couldn’t record then. Lucky for us, Jason is now fine. We recorded yesterday on Easter Sunday. We had to edit kinda quickly, so hopefully the quality is pretty good. Let us know ok?

Jason talks about our little adventure in his birthday!
Distractions as usual. A short bit of news. Then on to the feature. Movies from games? We go into that for a while.

A good week on the New Release list.
One of those Nabo-emails.
Finish off with the new question of the week, and hopefully you will enjoy episode 18!

There were a couple of people that mentioned that the volume consistency was a little off last week. As I said, I was attempting to edit a different way. I went back to the old way this week so hopefully it’s a little better. Also did a few things differently so let me know how it sounds.

This week, Distractions as usual. Chris vents a little about Mass Effect’s DLC.
Then on to news. It should be known that we talk about SSFIITHDR (wow) and how it’s “not gimped” on either console. It should be known that it was shortly after we recorded the podcast, it was announced that Capcom was allowed to exceed the XBLA limit.

After the break, it’s on to the feature. The One console future. Some of us were for it to start, but after some forum discussion and an even scarier hypothetical situation brought up by Geoff… now we’re a bit scared of the idea.

Then we have New Releases, listener email and the new question of the week (and Jason’s Jack-In-The-Box) and what do you get?
EPISODE 17 of the Interactive Distractions Podcast.

Well, the short show was short lived. But we did have a Dear X and a double feature, so please forgive us and our windedness. Also, we used a different method of editing this time around. Takes longer, but it should sound better.

This week, Jason has to vent about his problems with Lost Odyssey! We talk about our distractions this week. Then on to lots of news. Most of our listeners probably think that Dear X is something that’s reserved for ranting… well that wasn’t the original intent… Jason has a touching Dear X for us. Our first “rave” Dear X. And it came at the perfect time.

All three of us picked up God of War and felt it was worth a round table. So we discuss that… don’t worry… without spoilers.

Then it’s on to the confession booth. We got some GREAT emails from our listeners including one very ballsy voice mail.

Then we have New Releases, listener email and the new question of the week and you have the longest episode of Interactive Distractions we have ever recorded. Sorry, but listen to the whole thing… it’s good stuff!

Finally, a show that clocks in under 2 hours! Wow!

This week, Geoff and his roommates had a bad experience with some people working on their place and Chris did some PS3 controller surgery! We talk about our distractions this week. Chris gives some more info on Patapon and Jason joins him in talking about Professor Layton.

Then we turn on our fanboy switches and talk about our favorite gaming developers and publishers. Chris shows how much of a Working Designs fanboy and told us that he’s going to post his WD Collection in the VGEvo Collections Forum, so watch for that. Hopefully you will enjoy us gushing over our other favorites!

Follow that up with New Releases… the GOD OF WAR edition, listener email and the new question of the week and lookie there… you have Episode 15!
