We’re legit bro. Just like pro skateboarders and up and coming musicians, the biggest turning point at the beginning of any fledgling podcast is getting signed. And we’ve done it. This week is very back-to-basics with news, an interesting top 5 list and a tale from the Mamba Moose all before the break. But that’s not all. Even the break is snazzy. Young Marcus from Sony told us to step our game up, and we did. The game of the week was a nostalgia trip for me, Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie’s Double Trouble!. Try saying that 5 times fast without getting wicked bored. Next week is a bullet-hell shooter from the revered shmup creators, Cave. If anyone in Oly needs me, I’ll be downtown at Old School Pizza playing the DoDonPachi on their multicade machine.
Show notes as well as contact info after the break.

Somewhere in here I think you were trying to think of the S.T.U.N. Runner cabinet.

*shrug* don't know if that will show up…
Anyway. As to your discussion about the evolution of the xbox 360, between the falcon and jasper units, I think there is enough precedent for "upgrades" to this platform. True, there might not be a XBOX720 or otherwise, but I definitely think it will advance. 'Sides, that jtag business will force them to do something.
