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.

The long awaited finale of the Critical Music HippoMix has finally come! Sorry for the delay folks, I had a lot going on and I also just didn’t really feel up to working on this in the last few weeks but finally I’ve finished it up and now you can all listen to it!

Arthur Keenes - Automobiles, Killer7, PixelJunk Eden, Rocket Knight Adventures, Gareth Morris - (Atari ST) The Ancient Art of Chiptune, Castlevania, WipeOut Pulse, Zone of the Enders 2, Earthbound, Final Fantasy, Sonic CD, NHLPA `93, Boogerman, Tales of Symphonia, coda - Chocolate Rain 8Bit Remix, The Black Mages, The Go Team!, Tekken Tag Tournament, Double Dragon, Castle Crashers

• Top 5 games we were hopelessly addicted to
• Why we think video game movies are full of fail

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!
