Thanks to our good friends over at The Fanboys Lunchcast (whom you should be listening to by the way), we have a new set of forums over at their fine community of old time friends.

Please head over there and join in the discussions, meet the fine folks and hopefully hook up and play some games with them.

Also we have a official Critical Strike Twitter account, Kyle and I both have the info though for the most part it’s mainly just been the site updating it, but if you want to follow we’ll start to communicate through it as well.

It’s pretty well known that in these parts of the great vast interweb we love our good friends The Megas and Entertainment System. After meeting both bands last year during their Megatainment Tour and hearing afterward that both bands decided to get together and work on a Mega Man 1 EP, you could easily say I was very excited for it.

Well the time has finally come, both bands have finally completed their ends of the EP and it’s available for public consumption! The EP is a four song face melting session of Mega Man goodness that is–in my opinion pretty fair priced at $5 if you so choose to buy it via digital download or a additional $3 for shipping of the cd!

I’d like to see our listeners support these two bands as they’ve given me some awesome tunes to play on Critical Music as well as being part of a growing list of video game based bands!

So if you’d like to hear a song from the album then go to The Megas myspace page or to buy the album head over to The Megas website and show them your support

Of course, it seems to have become a trend that we only do a main podcast episode when Kyle gets injured in his daily life. So after he got rear ended while driving the company truck, we just knew it was finally time to regroup and discuss simple things like video games! Here’s some of the stuff we discussed: Lost Odyssey, Braid, WiiFit, Wolfenstein 3D, Kyle being horrible and not playing Quake, Shadow Warrior, inFAMOUS, Ghostbusters, Tiger Woods 10, Bubble Bobble Plus, Bit.Trip Core, Killing Floor, Street Fighter IV, Blazblue, Zenonia, NCAA Football 10.

Music in this episode: Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

If you enjoyed the first song we played on episode 33 of the podcast, do yourself a favor and get over to OCRemix.

These fine folks were selected by Capcom to do the official soundtrack for the newely released Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, which of course you can download for free!

Show your support to OCRemix and this album, they did a wonderful job and it’s nice to see a company like Capcom recognize the remix community.

Wow!  This will be our fourth release this month.  I’m rather impressed! The whole crew is back together again, and well, this is the result.  Sorry.

Short Mr Keith yet Kyle remained making it all good! This episode was kind of weird, Kyle and I seemed to go off on little ramble bits and of course at one point it ended up being a commercial for The Megas (go buy their album!) but thats alright by me!

Special thanks to mik and the pong world champion “announcer guy” from The Fanboys for the opening clip.

Hey folks, sorry but unfortunately episode 25 is delayed like most things in the game industry. We had some issues such as power outages, a wedding etc, but we’ll have a new release after this weekend.

Hang tight and check out some of our other favorite podcasts listed on the site.

That’s right folks. We here at Critical Strike have been invited to join a swell group of other podcasts known as Platform Nation.

Platform Nation is a site dedicated to gamers and podcasts. They have a great community that you can always count on to find someone to play a game with. If you ever want to know what’s going on in the game industry, then you should check out the podcasts that are  affiliated with the site.

Do yourself a favor and check out Critical Strike and the other podcasts over at Platform Nation.

Hello faithful listeners, I’d like to take this time to remind you that we will be recording our one year anniversary show on May 11th. We’d like to have some messages from our fellow podcasters and of course our listeners.

If you’d like to take part in this, then it’s pretty simple. All you need to do is record a short message with some well wishes for us in a mp3 format then just mail it to me at cstrikepodcast[at]gmail[dot]com. Just try to do us a favor and get these to us by May 9th.

Pretty simple? Yeah and it would mean quite a bit to us so please take a few minutes out of your busy schedules and hook us up with some encouraging messages.

First I would like to apologize that we have not released a new episode of the podcast in the last couple of weeks. It's not that we didn't want to, it's more Kyle wouldn't let us!

Kyle forced me to have a back injury, have a death in my family and other sick things he can do! He also seemed to have gotten to Keith as he was forced to take a business trip, have to work weekends, while having other sorts of problems.

That damn Kyle is really a evil one, but we hope to suppress his power and come out with a new episode soon!
