We are on the TV!

By Gabe – December 14, 2004

Morgan Webb from Tech TV showed up at our charity dinner and spent some time interviewing us. She also spent a lot of time looking for “that girl handing out Champaign” but I think she was just really thirsty. I gotta say, everyone on the Tech TV crew was super cool and we really appreciated them showing up. If you have G4-TechTV you can see the episode Tuesday night at 8pm PT. It’s my opinion that Tycho and I should never be video taped or photographed but if you really want to see us check out the show. Anyway, I think it’s on right after Judgment day where Victor and that other guy will be reviewing Halo…the first one.

The Sony Syndrome, Part One

By Tycho – December 13, 2004

Recently, I've begun to think that my periapt of proof vs. gadgets has begun to wear off as their lure has intensified. I need merely examine Gabriel's genuine cravings to throw my own occasional twinge into relief.

Wipeout

By Gabe – December 11, 2004

I just wanted to make sure that everyone saw these new screens from Wipeout Pure for the PSP. The Wipeout series has always had a special place in my heart. I can remember when Tycho and I got our first apartment all we had was a TV, a Playstation with Wipeout and a bean bag chair.

cool

Okay, so I was just on the BJ show. We yelled at each other for a couple minutes and then he hung up on me. That was super fun.

part 2

By Gabe – December 11, 2004

I heard that they were playing the BJ show from yesterday again this morning so I went down to my car to listen to it. They actually lied about how our phone conversation went. His producer claimed that he asked me what went wrong and I just babbled that I didn’t know what happened and refused to take responsibility. The truth is I told him that we dropped the ball and I apologized. I honestly don’t know what more I could have said. It was a mistake and I said I was sorry.

video killed the radio star

By Gabe – December 11, 2004

This year we had a couple different PR companies offer to help us spread the word about Child’s Play. They get us interviews on radio stations and in newspapers all over the country. Since Tycho is generally much better at that sort of thing it became his job to take all these interview requests. He’s been doing one or two of these a day practically for nearly a month and so I figured I should step up and take the next one. The next one as it turns out was with a Seattle radio station 100.7 the BUZZ on the BJ Shea show.

Custom shuttle!

By Gabe – December 9, 2004

Here are a couple of delicious shuttle PC cases that will be up for auction tonight. I’m sure we’ll have lots of pictures from tonight’s charity dinner/auction. If you want to go you can still buy a ticket. I’ll try and get some pictures posted for you this weekend.

As It Happens, With Randy Pinkwood

By Tycho – December 8, 2004

Doom movie indeed, sir. I'm not expecting Gone With the fucking Wind, but there's only two things you need to do in order to make something Doom or not and they couldn't handle it. It's just not that Goddamn hard.

Child's Play

By Tycho – December 6, 2004

A big thanks to everyone who donated in Hypothermia's latest drive, and congratulations to those who came away with the prizes. Steve's drives over there made ten thousand dollars for the hospitals, all by themselves. If this were another charity, we might be satisfied. For Child's Play, that's really more of an hors d'oevre.

So he likes Mario Party huh?

By Gabe – December 4, 2004

I don’t recommend playing Mario Party on a team with Tycho. Judging by my experience yesterday I’d say the fucker hates stars. I know it’s hard to believe but I watched him just give them away. He also likes to give the other team tips like “Hey don’t go that way! The star is the other way!” or “No No, throw the bomb back three spaces so it hits Gabe!” Thanks a lot asshole.

Drink! but don't drive please.

By Gabe – December 4, 2004

Div shot glasses are now available in our store. Personally I don’t drink…except for that one time in Vegas. Let’s just say the guys who run the bar at the Star Trek experience are big PA fans. Anyway, I’m not really familiar with drinkers and their customs. From what I’m told you are supposed to fill this tiny glass with the liquor of your choice. Then you drink the entire thing in only one swig. How exciting!

Child's Play

By Tycho – December 4, 2004

I think it's pretty amazing that the art auctions alone are up to almost five thousand dollars - take a look if you want. Those pieces of paper were just laying in a drawer, and now they could be anything - thirty consoles, hell, forty five if we went with Gamecubes. Grab some Wavebirds so you can get down from the hospital bed, maybe. We'll see where the holes are in the purchases and plug those holes with game systems.

PoP2

By Gabe – December 4, 2004

Prince of Persia 2 is a good game in spite of the fact that the developer tried to ruin it. It's like they did their best to burn the entire thing to the ground, but enough of the foundation remains that it's still recognizable. What that means is that the fundamentals of the first game are so good they can withstand being covered in layers of disgusting music, hack writing and monotonous combat.

On Discomfort

The Prince is back, apparently from rehab. He is beset on all sides by improbably garbed temptresses. The good news is that game we liked is in there, but it's underneath a bunch of crap I ordinarily wouldn't touch without gloves.
