Podcast goes here

Please Stand By

Episode seven of the flagrant3 Podcast should have been posted here.

In fact, we recorded it a couple of nights ago.

Unfortunately, due to technical difficulties (namely Anthony’s inability to use a microphone, and my inability to notice)  it will not be posted.

I know it’s been a couple of weeks since we released an episode; we’ll try and get back to recording soon.

And if everything works out to plan, we’ll be introducing a new video series sometime in the coming week.

In episode six of the flagrant3 Podcast, we talk E3 and break down the press conferences from Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony.

We discuss motion controllers, no controllers, remakes, sequels, dancing (yes dancing), as well as the brass tacks used by each of the big three to get your money.

And yes, vuvuzelas make an appearance.

Spoiler alert: this episode is mostly about video games.

Recorded June 16, 2010.

Topics include:

Watch us Watch – Dragonball Evolution

Watch us Watch - Dragonball Evolution

Guess who has a new segment? We do!

In this edition of Watch us Watch (WuW), you can watch us watch (get it?) Dragonball Evolution.

Why? So you can see what you missed out on, without ever actually going to see the movie.

We shot this immediately after sitting through Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li.

Best double feature ever? I think so.

Though footage from the film’s conclusion are not included, this video does contain spoilers; mostly from our commentary of how it disregards Dragon Ball canon.

Dragon Ball? Yeah, not Dragonball; but who cares about source material? These filmmakers sure didn’t.

Do I have any more questions to ask myself? No, no I don’t.

We talk iPhone 4 and Julian explains the only practical use of video-calling. I argue that Pairs Figure Skating is a more masculine sport than Mixed Martial Arts. My Smallville monologue. And we try to voice our opinions on the recently released Mortal Kombat teaser trailer; we try.

Watch us Watch – Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li

Watch us Watch - Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li

Yes, watch us, watch Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li… Well, at least watch some highlights of us watching it.

Why? If you’re actually reading this, chances are you have nothing better to do. (Really?)

Which is perfect since I didn’t have anything better to do than cut together one-year-old footage! (Good times.)

Watch and listen to our reactions to some of the more memorable scenes from this movie masterpiece; at least from the first-hour, since even the camera couldn’t last through to the closing credits.

This video does contain spoilers; but let’s face it, Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li was spoiled to begin with.

PS. This footage was shot when Michael Jackson jokes were still relatively funny.

Apple Doesn’t Hate Us

iTunes approved!

We’re iTunes approved!

I always thought we would be, but the wait time, combined with Julian and Anthony’s cynicism gave me doubts.

We should be recording (and releasing) another podcast at some point this coming week. And we’ll hopefully start cranking these out in a consistent manner.

Until then, please subscribe!

iTunes / non-iTunes

Later days.
