Critical Strike 88: Return of the Music

Critical Strike 86: The Three Shades of Tim
Its about time we finally got back to doing the show, but its not like we didn't try for the past three weeks to get one done. Quite frankly we've had a whole heap of problems like the plague, a baby monitor screwing up someones internet connec...

Critical Strike 83: Dickhouse Technologies
Thanksgiving is out of the way but having all that open time to play games and chat with everyone over skype was where the real magic came from. Its been a fun week of creating more inside jokes, poking Josh for games he wouldn't normally play ...
Critical Strike 82: Lords of the Poppycock
We're finally into the thick of the season where it seems like every game comes out all at once but we seem to be handling it well by skipping most games to just play Battlefiend 3 and Skyrim! We're not quite sure if we'll be recording within t...
Critical Strike 81: Stranger Danger!
Our third chair Mr Bill finally joined us in his first episode as a member of the podcast, it'll be nice to have that extra person on the show who plays some games that Kyle and myself probably wouldn't get around to play and discuss. Here is w...

Critical Strike 78: Fading Away
Its been some time since I sat down and just did a music episode without a theme and frankly its quite nice to not have to stick to any type of restriction like that. This one covered a few requests we've had lingering around over the years so ...
Critical Strike 77: The Holy Hotline
Its about that time of year that our little summer vacation break from the podcast begins to wind down so we wanted to get together finally and cover a bunch of the games we played since our Funspot trip. Now that we're back from vacation I hop...
Critical Strike 76: Rice Pudding!!
We're so close to being back on schedule and it was actually really fun recording this episode with Kyle but I think the thing that made it so great was his new microphone. Its funny how something so simple can mix up how you feel about a show ...

Well we've had a nice long summer break but its time to get back to recording on a regular schedule. Hopefully things calm down in both our lives so we can spend some more time on all this stuff as we've both missed it! Its also nice to know th...
Critical Strike 74: Chiptunes Tres!
It's been two years since I visited this style of music, but now seems like a better time than ever to revisit the chiptune community. I've learned a few new things this time around, there are a ton of new artists who are doing amazing work and...

We finally got around to recording a actual episode but the best part about it is we were once again joined by our good friend Bill from
Critical Strike 72: Melting Faces Again
About a year ago I promised to everyone that I would do another music episode based on video game bands and for some unknown reason I just never did it. I'm sure that makes me a jerk, but at least its finally done now, right? Either way, I'm ha...
