Ray's snowed in, Tim makes his return to the podcast (thankfully), and even Eddie shows up in this very special episode. We discuss our Games of Christmas Past, Consoles of Christmas Present, and Games of Christmas Yet-to-Come! Plus: Ray's very own version of a Christmas song!
Happy Holidays, everyone!
Ray just pointed out this site, which has dozens of simple flash games to play with some impressive style and great music. Check them out if you're bored and let us know which are your favorites so everyone knows which to try out!
I just saw the release calendar for Nintendo's Wii and DS, and I'm blown away that the only Nintendo-published games coming out between January and March are the two GameCube remakes Pikmin and Mario Power Tennis, and they are coming in March. Now I am pretty excited about Mario Power Tennis, but give me a break! The last two releases from Nintendo were Animal Crossing on November 16th and Wii Music on October 20th! Those two games weren't exactly must-have titles for me either. So December, January, and February will see no Wii releases from Nintendo. Fortunately there are a couple promising titles from Sega (ironic?), but I sure hope we see some fireworks from Nintendo soon because my Wii is really collecting dust!
Ray has posted his reviews of BOTH Sonic Unleashed versions in one MEGA-REVIEW!!! It's a must-read, so read it!
SALEM, ORE. --- Informer staff have been investigating leads on what could be the first case of graphical-plagarism by a political party. “I believe the technical term is called ‘tracing’,” says Ray. “The Obama campaign clearly hoped to change the symbol I designed over 11 years ago without credit or compensation - and what do I get for it? The first black president? Big deal.”
Insiders believe it was part of Ray’s plan all along. “He’s been trying to sneak his symbol into everything for years,” says an anonymous relative who requested that his real name of Eddie Hargreaves not be used. “After landing that graphic design job in Salem, he most likely used his connections to secretly design the logo in the hopes of finally getting some national attention. He loves attention...”
But Ray denies the allegation. “I get all the attention I need through my gaming webcomics and podcasts at 2PSTART.com,” Ray explained.
“If he’s desperate enough to do weekly comicstrips with a total stranger he met over the internet, then it’s clear Ray can’t be trusted with anything,” said an anonymous ex-girlfriend.
Ray’s father was less than excited. “I don’t approve of Ray putting so much effort into a side project that... wait... you actually make some money off these comics?”
When pressed for answers, 2P START! co-creator Tim Harding declined to comment, but continued to do cannonballs in a swimming-pool filled with money.
But Ray isn’t giving up. “If my logo is what helped earn Obama the $745 million dollars for his campaign, then the least he could do is give me his old Senate seat. Is there someone I’m supposed to talk to about that?”
Chris over at Indoor Heroes contacted us recently about doing an interview for him and we happily obliged. He asked some great questions and the interview turned out to be a pretty extensive take on how 2P START! began and how we do things week to week. Check it out if you're interested!
In this episode, Tim and Ray do nothing but argue! We've got Comic Talk, many comments in our Suggestion Box, and much more!
Ray heard you loud and clear as the call for a wallpaper of the Oil Panic comic is now a reality in a variety of resolutions. Be sure to let Ray know if there are any other wallpapers you guys are looking for!
