Now I have to apologize for this episode being a week late but here’s the deal, my upcoming work schedule forces me to work every other Saturday until the end of the month. So by me holding this back a week it allowed us to reset the two week recording schedule so it falls on the weekends I don’t have to work on, so I hope you all understand! Since that’s out of the way, this episode was fun because it was good to have Kyle back, we kind of missed each other since last month’s Funspot trip and his vacation. Here’s what we discussed: Kyle’s trip to his vacation, Final Fantasy XIII, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Halo ODST, Crackdown 2, Max and the Magic Marker, Killing Floor, Left 4 Dead 2.

Music in this episode: Samurai Showdown, Crackdown

Thanks Billy for allowing me to fill in for PSNerds and thank you for filling in for Critical Strike! Here’s what we discussed: My trip to Funspot’s classic arcade tournament, Joe Danger, Modnation Racers, Lost Planet 2, PSN+, Rainbow Six: Vegas.

I’m not sure if we’ll do one again but either way, thanks for everyone who checked it out. Here’s what we discussed: Kyle’s relationship threatening birthday gift, Final Fantasy XIII, Bioshock 2 multiplayer, God of War 3, Pokemon HeartGold, Battlefield Bad Company 2.

After our fun experiment with the PSNerds where we played White Knight Chronicles while talking about it, Kyle now returns to the show and is a bit under the influence.

With Kyle gone, we decided to try something new and discuss a game that not many people in the community have been paying attention to. With that we’ve decided to call in BillyBillBlack and Pete Dodd from the PSNerds podcast to talk about White Knight Chronicles while playing the quests online so if you have no interest in this game, I’d skip this episode. We’d like to thank those who left us iTunes reviews and the normal show will return in two weeks with Kyle’s return.

Music in this episode: White Knight Chronicles
