Dear Mario,It has been a few years and I never said anything, but I feel like every time I see you, it’s there. It’s in the back of my mind and it’s really bugging me. You know, I’ve gotten over it, so it’s not that big of deal anymore, but I think we need to talk about it. You really hurt me.I’m talking about Super Mario Sunshine.What the hell were you thinking?When I was in grade school (a Catholic one, keep in mind), I once got in trouble and was sentenced to clean every pew in the church during recess for…

No, not that kindA majority of society doesn’t view video games as an art form and the mainstream video game industry doesn’t do much to change that perception. For every Braid, there are a handful of different games trying to replicate the success of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. The mainstream video game industry, similar to the major studio movie industry, practices a business model that is preoccupied with satisfying target demographics, because it has proven to be profitable in the past. In other words, games that have artistic value and merit will likely not have same production value,…

So, I’ve had very little time for Bayonetta, but from what I have played it is amazing. If you have a 360 and like action games, buy this title now. Also, what have you all heard about Global Agenda? It reminds me a lot of Tribes.

So, I suck.  There will be no show on account of my unavailability today again.  I’m editing an Advanced Directing project during break, which is a lot of fun, but it has left me unable to broadcast today.  The bright side?  We should be broadcasting next week, no problem. I thought I should also say that we are not dead and that we are not closing down or anything like that.  Is has just been a crazy busy time for me the past two weeks.  Back in the days of BreakmanX.com the only time I cancelled a show was when…

Sorry guys, midterms and a technical issue on my latest editing project have really kicked my ass.  No show today, but we’ll be back next week!

I know we said one to two weeks, but you can blame me for this week’s lack of show.  Long story short, I’m extremely busy this semester and only have 1.5 – 2 hours on Tuesday to be at home and it is my wife’s birthday. She will not allow a show during her birthday.  Also, I’ve updated to Snow Leopard (OS 10.6) and my broadcasting app is not currently compatible with the new OS.  I’m an absolute OS freak, and must have the newest version the second it releases.  I’m not really sure why, I just do.  I’ve never…

Don’t think we’ve gone anywhere. The staff has been discussing the new showtime, and it looks like it will be just an hour earlier on Tuesdays, 6 – 7 Central, 7 – 8 Eastern, 4 – 5 Pacific. We’re going to take a week or two off to feel out this timeframe, but if all goes right, and I think it will, we will be returning on September 1st or September 8th. I will keep you updated here and through the Padinga mass E-Mails. See you all soon!

Tuesday is my 2 year anniversary with my wife, so I will not be broadcasting live, via Shotcast RAD-io.

I know you’re all excited for The Game Show next week at 7:00 PM Central, but there’s an additional reason to get excited now.  Stemage from Metroid Metal will be joining us LIVE, so be sure to be there to ask him whatever questions you are wondering, Besides being one of my favorite video game music interpretations, they are also playing at PAX this year.  PAX’s video game concert is always really cool, and they only invite the best video game musicians and nerdcore rappers.

Waiting to hear back from the other cohosts, but we may be broadcasting live tomorrow.

The hell known as moving is almost over so we should be announcing the time of the next show soon.  Did I mention that I HATE moving?  I’ve landed an internship, but should still have time to do the show, just probably on a different day.  A lot of people couldn’t make the Friday one, anyway. See everyone very soon.

So, admittedly, I was in the sky yesterday when Microsoft was doing their media briefing (which they apparently did at USC’s Galen Center,) but I did catch Nintendo’s. We’ll have more talk on the show this week, but I just had to give a holy shit for the new Metroid trailer. 3rd person Metroid has returned! It was definitely the highlight for me. I was kind of left with meh with most everything else, but who knows as more info about the actual gameplay comes out. The press conferences were always my favorite part of E3 and I can’t wait to…

The Game Show will be broadcasting LIVE this Friday at a new time.  Tune in at 8 PM Central, 9 PM Eastern, and 6 PM Pacific.

I’m going to be back in Lawrence to do the show live with my fellow cohorts, so look forward to a fun old time!  We might start a little bit later due to the “away” nature of the show, but we’ll try to stick to schedule as much as possible.

Hey everyone, let me be the first to welcome you to Padinga! A couple weeks ago I was playing games with CptCluster and he asked me, “Why don’t you do that radio show anymore?”  It made me think about it in a whole different light.  I responded, “You know, I should really do that again.”  The drive home that night began a flurry of thought about exactly how to relaunch the show.  My time is still really limited, but you make time to do the things you really love.  I started talking to the old crew, and I got good…

Super Metroid is one of those games.  You know, one of those games.  A game so drenched in quality that it appears on many “Best Games of All Time” lists along with titles like Chrono Trigger, Ocarina of Time, Super Mario Bros., Final Fantasy VI, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and Metal Gear Solid.  I purposely stretched out this list so you could see just what level this game is on, because it is on the highest level possible in gaming. I remember my first experience with Super Metroid.  Shortly after its release I rented this game from Blockbuster.  I…

I’ve just spent my first half hour with the new Sonic game, and I have quite a few impressions on the title.  First of all, I feel exactly how I felt after I played the first Sonic for the Genesis.  There’s a marvelous wow factor that permeates you with the gameplay and the sense of speed, but there is also a slight feeling incompleteness.  Sonic for the Genesis is one of the “almost perfect” games, but I still always felt as if it wasn’t quite as complete as the Mario lineage of platformers.  Not because there’s a clear reason for…

Click HERE to start the broadcast. Be sure to catch us today, Friday May 22nd, at 6:00 PM Central Time on The Game Show. To write in questions, go to the IRC chat. We will also be accepting call ins via Skype. Please send a message to padingacallin on Skype describing your question or comment and we will get you on the air.

For Windows users: First, you need to download the FREE program Winamp.  After you’ve clicked its glorious name and it has installed the Winampian presance on your glorious PC you must point your browser to Padinga.com.  There are two links that you can click that will get the job done, there is Live Stream on the scrolling menu and Listen Live! on the top menu.  If you’ve installed Winamp correctly, it should automatically open the stream.  If it asks you to save the file, simply save the file where you know where it is (such as the Desktop) and open Winamp and open the file from there. For…
