We’ve been a little late a few times, so we thought it was about time we were early for a change.

*looks around*
Wait… where’s Geoff? Oh… there he is.

Anyway, Remember around 20 years ago… well… those of you old enough to remember 20 years ago… there was that … other 8-bit system… The Sega Master something or rather. You know, the one that nobody bought. Well that system also produced the best RPG of the 8-bit era. Phantasy Star. We talk about all of the proper Phantasy Star games, as well as go into where the franchise has gone since then.

That should be more than enough reason to listen to this episode. But if you want more, we also have current distractions, gaming news, new releases… ummm… sorta, and listener email! Follow that up with a new question of the week… And you know what you have…

The LONGET episode of InDis EVER! Sorry.

Episode 28, to be exact. And we pulled off 2 things we’ve been trying to do for a while, in one show… Revisiting the Classics Vol 1 and CAST SWITCH! Enjoy.

Are today’s shooters lacking in innovation? We’re glad we asked because we cover that and so much more in this week’s Feature! What a coincidence!

And if that wasn’t enough reason to tune in, we also have a little chit-chat about our current distractions, gaming news, new releases and listener email!

Why, looking at that list, it almost seems like an episode of InDis!

It IS an episode of InDis! Episode 27 to be exact. Enjoy.

Well, we talk about our distractions for the week, and what the hell is an OTC game? Oh well, whatever.

After the intermission we tell everyone what games are collecting dust. Not to mention an idea we have to help us and our listeners with all of those games in our pile of shame… or dust… or backlog… or… whatever.

Short email segment and then the new Question of the Week and then we are done. Enjoy teh InDis!

Sorry we’re late… You’d never believe what happened… For real, we were on our way to the strip club and whatdya know, Geoff just had to do a drive by. And then Chris wouldn’t shut up about the handling on the car we were driving… and all we kept hearing from Jason was “Wow! This city is alive and breathing!”. We think he was on something.

In any case, short show this week and we truly apologize for the wait. We’ve got a lengthy GTA4 feature followed by listener email and the announcement of our new QotW. So yea… short show… say THAT 5 times fast - you’ll likely stumble upon an accurate description of our podcast.

Thanks for listening!

24! God I love that show! I hope it comes back soon… Damn writers strike!

Anyway… shorter episode, but still good stuff. First… we must announce… “Uncle Chris.” Yup, Chris is now “kinda” an uncle since his Fiancee’s sister had a little one on May 1st!

Distractions this week. Chris is back into Rock Band apparently and lets everyone know why he missed Warhawk Wednesday. The trio all got GTA4, so we do a little first impressions round table on the game.

Then Geoff has some news as usual.

After the intermission we talk about the Piracy and how it’s hurting the industry. Sure… we may all be guilty of it one way or or another, but it is hurting. And we have some news stories as well as some emails that help us explain how.

Short email segment and then the new Question of the Week and then we are done. Enjoy teh InDis!
