As you may be expecting, we at retropixels will be pushing out our initial podcasts in the next few days. Both ITGeek and myself have finally recieved the last of our equipment, and we are in the process of figuring out what works best for recording. We'll be using Behringer C-1u mic's that in my opinion are excellent mic's, if only because they are USB and don't require a mixer or seperate phantom power (and they make me sound good on playback, so that's something). I'm also working on a retropixels song, but you'll have to wait until I'm done to get any hints on what that'll be like.

I've played through Ready 2 Rumble: Round 2 on the Dreamcast, as I'm about to release a review for it in the next day or two. Although I've played it many times before, it is as always a fun boxing game that has style oozing out the sides (but it is not perfect). I've also played some more Dynamite Cop (even though its been reviewed) as a test run with ITGeek for doing game commentary while playing games worked/sounded. The results aren't in yet, but I think with a little tweaking we'll be just fine.

In addition to all that, my Dreamcast video cable seems to have taken a dump as I'm getting no video or audio. My Dreamcast hasn't been working for a while, so when I went to see if it was working yesterday, the sides of the plug on the video cable fell off, leading me to wonder. All that goes through is static, so I'm pretty sure the problem is with the cable and not the system. I'll borrow someones cable for now to see if it decides to work again, otherwise I'm just going to go buy the cheapest Dreamcast I can find.

As always, feel free to e-mail me any questions or concerns. The new email address for me is: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
