Friday Night Gaming

We take a look at Wii Sports Resort with the new Wii Motion Plus peripheral to see if it makes a big difference. During this time, we talk about the download codes in EA Sports games screwing over used game buyers (and retailers), and if Glen is going to get arrested for modifying game console hardware.

The King of Fighters XII on the PS3 is the game of choice at CC Gaming in Kennesaw, GA. We play offline (more of you need to come online for our PS3 weeks!) and take a look at the newest 2D Fighter from SNK. We also take a look at the newest CC Gaming employee, Amanduh. We also take a look at the NXE preview on Xbox Live and some of the new features...Including a technical difficulty on our part. But it gets fixed without stopping the show...much. In an impromptu CC Gaming Hardware Spotlight, we clean a Genesis cartridge with a nail file.

Chinese knockoffs, hard drive enclosures, and destruction of buildings highlight this week's FNG live from CC Gaming in Kennesaw, GA! We take a look at the "Power Games" console - a Chinese Famiclone that looks like a penguin, complete with pirated games that are mislabled or hacked. It's a sight to behold! Then we look at a real game on the Xbox 360 - Red Faction: Guerrilla. We play some singleplayer and then head onto Xbox Live near the end of the show. During the CC Gaming Hardware Segment, we do some free repair work for Bobby and take apart an Xbox 360 hard drive to swap out sizes. We also take calls about franchising, fighting sticks, and where Mableton has been.

Live from our new partially built stage in CC Gaming in Kennesaw, GA, we take a look at Battlefield 1943 and play against the world...and die repeatedly. We take calls about a Yu-Gi-Oh champion, IGF winners on Steam, and curious video game patents. We also ask you to vote for The Gamer Beauties to get sponsored for MLG Dallas.

Live from temporary digs (again) at The Gaming Hub in Kennesaw, GA, we check out the latest 2D fighter from the Guilty Gear guys, BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger. We play locally and then take on challengers on Xbox Live who use us for powerlevelling. (We win twice.) During this time, we take calls about BlazBlue and Penn & Teller's recent curse-filled episode about video games. In the CC Gaming Hardware Segment, we bring on Nick to talk about his controller modifications, and discuss revenue streams for the show because we are greedy like that.

Live from temporary digs at The Gaming Hub in Kennesaw, GA, we begin the next chapter in our evolution, introducing ourselves to a new audience in a new city. We also challenge our online listeners in Halo 3. We die repeatedly. We also discuss recent news about no LAN Support in Starcraft 2, as well as The Pirate Bay being sold to "new" owners.

Live from the Computer ArenA in Roswell, GA for the final time, CC Ivory comes in to perform 8-bit chiptunes LIVE. We also show exactly how he does it! We take calls about tracking and also show off some of the old PC Demo scene by showing portions of the Mind Candy Volume 1: PC Demos DVD. Then we boot up Fight Night Round 4 for the Xbox 360 and our chatters thoroughly thrash Mableton. We also give details of where we will be - both physically and virtually - going forward. A big thanks to everyone for inviting us into their homes for the first six months, it will only get better from here!

Live from the Computer ArenA in Roswell, GA, we take a look at Ghostbusters for the Xbox 360, both the singleplayer campaign and the multiplayer modes. As a special guest, Chris Rickwood joins us live at the ArenA - he worked on music for a lot of games, including doing the boss music for Ghostbusters! We give away a signed copy of Ghostbusters to one of our Twitter followers who so dutifully helped us in our shameless #followfriday request. We also discuss the No Elves campaign from Action MMO Global Agenda. In the CC Gaming Hardware Spotlight, we show you how you can replace your DVD drive without having to flash firmware or get banned from Xbox Live. Next week is our final show from the ArenA featuring a live performance by CC Ivory!

Live from the Computer ArenA in Roswell, GA, we check out Prototype for the Xbox 360. Is it really what it's cracked up to be, or will it bore our audience before the end of the show? Plus, we look at videos from E3Coverage.com from Brutal Legend and The Beatles Rock Band.

Live from the Computer ArenA in Roswell, GA, Glen and Bobby are fresh off of their trip to E3 2009 in Los Angeles. We wrap up what we thought of the show, as well as premiere an interview about Split Second from E3Coverage.com, and profess our undying love to Scribblenauts. We show the new motion controls from Microsoft and Sony and give our opinion on them and ask if a controller with buttons is really a hinderance. We discuss the new offerings from Nintendo and ask if they have lost touch with their audience. We then show off some swag from the show floor and give some away to our live audience while playing the demo for Overlord II on Xbox 360. Then, we show Rock Band Unplugged for the PSP with some Freezepop lovin. (Probably not the best thing to listen to on the audio podcast - sorry!) This isn't a normal show - we'll be back to playing full games next week!

Live from the Computer ArenA in Roswell, GA, we take a look at inFAMOUS for the PS3, but not before going over E3 excitement as well as showing some "exclusive" video from E3 1999 - a wrestling match in EA's booth promoting the PS1 title WCW Mayhem! In the CC Gaming Hardware Segment, we show you how you might be able to fix your Xbox 360 DVD Drive and make it read discs again. Be sure to check out E3Coverage.com for Bobby Blackwolf's interviews from the show floor!

Live from the Computer ArenA in Roswell, GA, we take a look at Punch-Out!! for the Wii, bringing back fond memories of the original. We make it almost all the way to the end of the World Circuit in exhibition mode, but decide to take a look at some Head On action. In the CC Gaming Hardware Spotlight, we take apart the aftermarket NES that CC Gaming will be stuffing in a Mario doll. We also talk about the upcoming E3, and you can find Bobby Blackwolf doing interviews on E3Coverage.com!

Live from the Computer ArenA in Roswell, GA, the challenge has been laid down by our viewers and we respond. First up: Burnout Paradise for the Xbox 360 - we show the Legendary Cars and get taken out by our viewers. Then - Street Fighter IV for the Xbox 360. Everyone lined up to get owned by "Mableton" Andrew, including one particular broken man. Glen then reveals the next console modification project for CC Gaming - one that we will be detailing step by step over the next few weeks! Plus, we reveal that our planned hiatus isn't going to be a hiatus after all!

We start off the show mixing Bobby Blackwolf's two favorite things - video game music and drumlines. Bobby calls up old friend Greg Haynes, lead instructor of the Kansas University Winter Drumline, who just made blog waves by doing a 10 minute drumline show all about Mega Man 2. We ask Greg about his inspiration, what the hell the guy was doing in front of the line, and if he has any Rock Band tips. Then, we pull out X-Men Origins: Wolverine (Uncaged Edition) for the Xbox 360 and give it a bloody decapitating spin. Glen deflects calls about why he never answers his email. We finish off by comparing it with the Genesis version of X-Men, as played on an FC3.

In this lightning filled episode, Xenocore from The Ultimate Quest joins us to play Demigod while we interview Mike Marr, Lead Designer at Gas Powered Games. Listen as Xenocore dies...repeatedly! On the CC Gaming Hardware Spotlight, we show another Xbox 360 repaired by another company - 360-pros.com - that used food and drink coupons as heat sinks...We're not kidding! Then we try to play a few games of Bionic Commando (the multiplayer demo) with our listeners, but the lack of a friends only lobby option kills that.

This week, we provide a live translation of (most of) the recently released Japanese Final Fantasy XIII demo for the PS3. We also discuss some of the backstory of Final Fantasy games in general, including no less than three mentions of Mystic Quest. Sadly, our PROTIPS were not listened to by our live audience playing the game, hence why we say "most of" the demo is translated... Then, in the CC Gaming Hardware Spotlight, take a Nintendo DS Lite that isn't powering on and repair it live on the air with just a multimeter and a soldering iron. And then we open up Excitebots: Trick Racing for the Wii, learn that we can't play Multiplayer out of the box, but unlock the mode anyway and have some local races.

Live from the Computer ArenA in Roswell, GA, we begin with stories of store robberies, late deliveries, and peoples who works as a cooks in a Waffle Houses wanting to works in a gamings store. Then, we showcase the unreleased Sega CD game Penn & Teller's Smoke and Mirrors, which most people think of Desert Bus but it's really much, much more. We take apart a Sega Dreamcast and tell you why YOU are killing your own controller ports. Then, we play OutRun Online Arcade over Xbox Live with our live audience.

Tornado warnings and hailstorms don't stop us from bringing you some Friday Night Gaming from the Computer ArenA in Roswell, GA. We take a look at The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena for the Xbox 360, which includes the original Escape from Butcher Bay game remastered. We actually pull out the original Xbox game and do compares to see how much they really remastered. Then, we break out a Nintendo DSi and even show it next to a DS Phat and a DS Lite to see what's new and what isn't new with the console.

Live from the Computer ArenA in Roswell, GA, we take a look at Monsters vs. Aliens, a licensed movie game for the Xbox 360. Bobby doesn't think it's that bad, will the live audience agree? Then, Glen shows us his prized possession - an Xbox Prototype Dev Kit, complete with an incomplete game! Then the show turns into a big joke against the southerners not knowing what snow is.

Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection for the Xbox 360 is put through the test on this episode live from the Computer ArenA in Roswell, GA. We compare Sonic the Hedgehog with an actual Genesis to see how accurate it is. We go through several of the games on the disc, and then show off Beggar Prince by Super Fighter Team, a game officially released in 2006 for the SEGA Genesis. Unfortunately, our video archive was cut off after 52 minutes for unknown reasons, so this is all we have...
