Eddie and Noah were gracious enough to have me on as a guest for their latest episode of The Lame Show podcast. If you're interested in my thoughts on something other than video games for once (for the most part), then take a listen. Here's a quick preview of the show:
Ray from 2Pstart.com returns to debate the 2008 summer movie season with Eddie & Noah. You'll be SHOCKED to hear what they aren't looking forward to.
But first is the Lame List, featuring a summer movie that's already been released, a Nintendo accessory that isn't living up to its potential and perennial favorite Microsoft for Windows Se7en.
Picks for this episode include the 'Siskel & Ebert' of music podcasts, a music album that only Ray could recommend and the answer to the question 'Where does Eddie get his wonderful shirts?'
"When the Wii was first announced, Nintendo's focus towards an expanded audience came with promises of new and exciting gameplay through the use of innovative and intuitive controls. In that case, Wii Fit is the quintessential Wii title, as promised."
In this edition of 2P START! Live! we discuss our new weight management system, Wii Fit! Ray needs to gain a bit of muscle and I could stand to lose a bit of fat. Most importantly, my wife Sarah joins us to discuss her experience with Wii Fit as well as her reaction to her first appearance in our comic. Enjoy!
Ray sent me this pretty awesome replacement cover for Super Smash Bros. Brawl to share with you all. Ray's Mario Kart Wii replacement covers were a necessity since the official box art isn't very good. Brawl's box art is fine as is, but I must admit, I dig the sideways box art and the way Ray fit in every character! Keep in mind that he physically placed each and every one of the characters himself using ripped character art from the game, no small feat. The spine art is optional of course, so if you don't like it you can just cut it off and use the front. One more shot of the box art plus the download after the break!
[Update]: Ray made a version without the ESRB logo for non-U.S. gamers.
Listen as we discuss Nintendo's new Wii Ware and its missed opportunities, the warm reception for our Lego Indiana Jones comic, and the game that finally got Tim's wife asking to play video games! All this plus our regular segments jam-packed into a half hour podcast!
Someone wanted to see the current 2P START! friends standings on the Mario Kart Wii tournament going on right now, so here they are!
[Final]: Here are the final standings with Ray beating me out by an inch! Good job everyone, see you at the next tournament!
"Mario and his friends are back for their eighth kart-racing competition since 1992, and the core gameplay still remains intact after all of this time. Although Gamecube's Double Dash!! aimed high with two characters per kart and character-specific power-ups, the Wii installment scales everything back by operating as the follow-up to the portable DS title."
It's been awhile since I've done one of these, but see if you can guess what game this image is from! Also, Ray is back in town and is starting work on tomorrow's comic, let him know how much you missed him! If you're new to this little game, rules are posted after the break. Good luck!
[Update]: We have a winner!
Rokai is correct as he guessed Sega Superstar Tennis, way to go! Lots of good guesses on this one as it really could have been a lot of different games.
Ray will be back just in time to make this week's comic, so one final push to update the site before he returns. The code I wrote for custom logos to display with all of our archived comics is now FULLY functional, so feel free to browse the archives and see the matching logos with the comics. On that note, wouldn't it be really cool if Ray made custom logos for ALL our old comics? We only started doing that about 6 months ago, but it would be great to have the older comics with matching logos too. Anyway, I've also updated Ray's Brawl Album on the Brawl page to link to a cool flash-based polaroid album. It's just another fun way to check out Ray's Brawl snapshots, so enjoy!
