TCPS 24: EA & Ubisoft E3 2013 Wrap Up
June 14, 2013 21:12 - 79.3 MBWe talk the shows that EA and Ubisoft put on for us at this years 2013 E3. What games are we excited for? What hits are headed our way? Were we surprised or given the same old schpiel? We talk about all that. Take a listen!
The Super Smash Nintendo Change Up
June 13, 2013 17:13While Nintendo may not have had a press conference this year at E3, they still delivered on game announcements. And if we're being honest, it was probably a good move to save all that money, specially with the big guns of Microsoft and Sony an their new consoles. Nintendo came at us with a Nintendo Direct 40 minute showcase broadcast, a booth at E3, demos, trailers, and a couple of roundtables at the conference, so they weren't absent altogether at the Expo. So what did they show us and wh...
TCPS 23: Microsoft E3 2013 Wrap Up
June 11, 2013 16:37 - 89.3 MBHere is epidose 23! It's back the podcast is back! And we're kicking off with E3 and the Press Conference from Microsoft. Did they go a good job? Did they miss the mark? What about the Xbox One? We talk about all that and more!
Still Not Dead: E3 Edition
June 11, 2013 15:33As I type this I am currently editing our first pocast in a year. And it's the Microsoft E3 wrap up podcast. I'm also watching the Nintendo direct E3 announcement, but I would lying if I said I was getting any information from this. The lag is so bad, even in 240p, that it keep buffering every 5-10 seconds. This is not a good start for Nintendo to announce their titles. I want to think that I haven't missed anything since it's taking forever. I don't know how long this was supposed to take (a...
Revolver: Bullet Points for a Podcast
October 30, 2012 16:57*Presses Start* Friends, Romans, Countrymen. Small little updates for those of you who are wondering. *Extra Life earned $500 dollars this year. Thank you! *As far as I know, project hiatus/cancellations are all over the board, we just need to sift them out. Stay Tuned. *I'm going to bite the bullet and start updating the Youtube, regardless of my slow internet. *Ports: Episode 1 is finished, and is in the long process of editing. *Game reviews and Fight Nights will return, thinking ab...
No Excuses.
August 04, 2012 22:09*presses start* So, instead of saying why we haven't really been around (which we have, just check out the tube), I'll going to go ahead a put out there that there is a reason WHY we haven't been as pushed up about the blog and other things lately. Mostly because, holy shit, did games really blow it for me this year. Don't get me wrong, there are a ton of games that dropped this year. Hotly anticipated games that I expected to blow my mind away. Sequels and Series endings and.....well........
TCPS 22: E3 Microsoft Wrap-Up
June 04, 2012 19:31 - 31.9 MBWe had a few minutes to spare between the Microsoft Conference and the EA conference, so we decided to do a short podcast summarizing what was announced. We'll later go into detail about what was announced, about what it means, and what we think about it. But until then, we didn't want to leave you all hanging!
This Week In E3
June 04, 2012 03:16If you know anything about gaming, then you know that this week is Gaming's biggest time to shine. The World Series of Gaming. It's the Electronics Entertainment Expo! And once again we're going to be covering it, this time in blog post and podcast form. We'll do what we did last year, break up the podcasts, this time the Big 3 (Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo) into one, and Ea and Ubisoft into another. Or something like that. It will of course all depend on what kind of news we get. If you've l...
TCPS 21: Pre-E3 Ramblings
June 03, 2012 14:08Like usual, we're on top of things, and took the time to sit down and talk about E3. What we got from last year, what we were promised, and what we'd like, and what we Need to see this year. Enjoy. We actually got a little serious. Until the end.
TCPS 20: We're Not Dead
May 24, 2012 16:14 - 98.7 MBNo, we're not dead, we're back! And we somehow manage to cover short reviews of the games that have come out since January of 2012 up until just this week! And then there's some nonsense, but then we actually have some meaningful conversations about Sony and Nintendo and some Microsoft. Yes, we talk a little bit about Mass effect 3. Listen in!
Updates? In my Universe?
May 18, 2012 05:34Holy crapsicles, have WE been lax on this blog or what? To be honest, yes. We've been lax on the blog portion but not so much on the youtube portion. We've got Fight Night Videos, FF13-2 playthrus, Nintendo playthrus, More ridiculous stuff as well. Even if we've been quiet on the blog, we're still raising hell on the interwebs. There should be a amazing Witcher 2 review in the pipework and Batman has been slowed to coincide with the Dark Knight movie coming out, so expect that to be kicked b...
Did You Know That...?!
April 05, 2012 23:29Fans of Bill Nye the Science will appreciate the title, but I digress. I named it that because I was wondering if you all knew of some cool things that happened recently, like several hours ago. Ever wanted to play Fallout: A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game? Well you can play it for free, but only for the next 36 hours! (From the time of this post, of course.) If you go to GOG.com you can get the whole game, DRM-free, plus extras! What kind of extras you're asking? Extras like wallpapers, a ma...
Time for Another Update
February 25, 2012 21:56So, we're nearing the end of February, and things have been quiet around here, so that obviously means it's time for another update. Real life comes in at some of the most inconvenient times. Luckily though, no real important games came out, like The Darkness II, or Kingdom of Amalur Reckoning. Nothing like that. In lieu of updating with podcasts or blog posts, our YouTube page has been active with LP's, so you should check us out, (subscribe and stuff like that.) Worry not dear readers! We'...
Soul Fantasy 52?
February 04, 2012 02:25Christmas has come and gone, the 2011 game year is over and now we enter 2012. We're also entering one of the slowest release time of the year, but this week the video game industry dropped two games on us. Soul Calibur V and Final Fantasy XIII-2. For Soul Calibur fans this gave new characters, and the incredibly nimble, and lady-stealing, assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze, continuing in that tradition of guest characters. Most people aren't going to buy this game for the story, (the incredi...
Emotional Attachment to Virtual Adventure Seeking Avatars
December 15, 2011 15:43**Strife's notes: This blog post contains spoilers for the 2008 game "Tales of Vesperia for the Xbox360. If you have any interest in the near future about playing this game and reading what seems to be a conclusion to a story arc or a plot twist, then skip this blog. I'll have another one posted up this weekend. This is more so a rant filled thrilling end to my all nighter of the game. ~Strife** *Presses Start* I am a story driven guy. No matter what the game is, if a game has a pretty dec...
TCPS and The Internet
December 10, 2011 12:32Specifically YouTube. You can listen and watch the podcasts on YouTube now! (Well, as soon as YouTube uploads and renders. If you've ever uploaded a video you feel the pain.) That's right, no need to download them from iTunes or Zune, or however you do it! Just wait for it to load in YouTube. Let it play int he background if it's an audio one. My point is you can get us on YouTube now, along with some more original videos that will showing up later this month, and more after the new year (whe...
Online Shenanigans
December 08, 2011 03:10*Presses Start* First off, Megan's on a roll, isn't she? Give her a hand! *claps* Now to the good stuff. Nowadays PSN and Xbox Live are a gamers second home. It makes you feel welcome. Accepted. Quaint. Playing online with millions of people across the world, making them all eat whatever you can dish out, it's a phenomenal experience that people around the world lose sleep over. I can't stand it. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not a hermit, nor would I like my online systems disabled by an...
Once upon a TCPS Holiday Guide
December 07, 2011 17:03The holiday season is rapidly approaching and lots of people are thinking about gifts. Whether it be the person who's going out to buy them or the person being asked (or pestered) by their family for gift ideas because they can't come with something right away and they go through the same thing every year, and they're forced to make a- Sorry. Point is, it's the holidays. So what should you buy or want? Well, I Could give you a few ideas, but let me just run through some of the things that cam...

A talk about Games of the year, Final Fantasy, SWTOR, Dragon Age, Guild Wars 2, and some anticipations for 2012. Megan got to fangirl out, and she is a Very happy girl now.
Megara's Zelda Event
November 18, 2011 18:16Megan's most anticipated game of the year is coming out on Sunday, the 20th of November; The Legend of Zelda: The Skyward Sword. So in preparation, and homage, she's going to play some Legend of Zelda Games for all you, and livestream it on Twitch TV! And record it for later. She'll be playing Ocarina of Time, a kind of speed run, Twilight Princess, and some Wind Waker! She'll be starting tonight, Friday, around 11pm EST (8pm PST, 4am GMT) and throughout the day on Saturday. Sunday she'll be...
Gamers are Awesome, not Lazy
November 17, 2011 21:51That's right, Parents, Grandparents, bosses, I said it. We're not lazy, or anit-social, well most of us anyway. "But, Megan, what proof do you have to back this up?" I hear you non believers ask. First, I've been told that you should start a sentence with but, but I do it all the time, (you also shouldn't start a sentence with And, but I'm about to do it.) And, I can't give you numbers, or science, but I can give you personal experience, and what I have observed. When I'm not working wi...

The Blame Game. Available for all systems! Blame your game today!
November 03, 2011 00:44*presses start* (Note: Long winded Nostalgia run coming up.) As a kid, I can recall being super excited about getting my gaming copy of "Street Fighter II". The high definition graphics, the massive amount of kung-fu going on, the machismo of being the crap out of each other was so enthralled to me as a kid, It pretty much took over my entire time of being a 7 year old (and solidified my love of fighters) . I wanted so bad to be Guile. I begged my grandparents to let me grow out a afro, g...
TCPS 18: Retrogame Challenge! Part 1
November 01, 2011 17:54 - 788 MB VideoSo Megan was sick, and Antonio said "Let's play this game!" And Megan was like: *coughhackdie* "Okay!" *voicecrack* And they did. This is part one of that not so smart move.
All Game Reviewers Suck. Except Us. Well.....
October 31, 2011 06:00*Presses Start* It's been a long, long, long October guys. But we've been totally busy! From Extra Life to Left 4 Zelda to The First Impressions to some of the personal things we've gotten through, we've been doing a lot of stuff for you guys. One thing that totally comes to mind is the recent stuff for first impressions. Now, If you haven't listened to our first impression stuff yet, that's cool. I'll give you a quick rundown of the entire thing. We talk about games that have recently come...
November Upcomings!
October 28, 2011 15:21Halloween is coming, and after that is November. With November comes the beginning of some of the most anticipated titles. The Holiday gaming releases are upon us, folks. So what does that mean for TCPS? Well, you can expect more first impression podcasts of games coming out, and games that have recently come out. More podcasts of us playing classics in honor of new releases. Sonic, (the hedgehog, not the fast food chain,) is celebrating a milestone and a new game, and we're doing something s...
Extra Life for the kids!
October 14, 2011 20:18Starting tomorrow, October 15th at 9am EST (6am PST, 2pm GMT) Megan and Tony will be playing video games for 24 hours! Why? To raise money for the Children's Miracle Network. They'll be streaming almost all of it, and taking turns when they aren't playing together. All donations are IRS tax deductible (at least in the US), and you get to see two people who love to play games make it through 24 hours, if they can! What could be more fun than watching them start to crash? Makes things more int...
TCPS 17: Randomness of Random
October 11, 2011 18:21 - 288 MB VideoRecorded back in May, this podcast makes its way into the light of the internet. This is all random, literally. You'll See. Maybe too random.
The Greatest Games Never Sold
September 27, 2011 20:55*Presses Start* This game sucks. A phrase said all too often. We get a game home, pop it in and expect to be bedazzled with amazing graphics, a immersible story, and game play that will blow the socks off even the most stubborn gamer. Sadly, PS1 graphics, terribad story and horrible controls instantly brings out the worst case of "Buyer's remorse" that anyone will ever see. For every Call of Duty and Uncharted, there's a BodyCount and MindJack. What happens when the game that instantly gets...
Confessions of a MMORPG n00b
September 24, 2011 16:52I'm not Exactly a n00b to MMORPG's, I just don't play them all that often. I experimented with text based ones on my old Apple2. I have Guild Wars, I anticipate Guild Wars 2. I've played the trial versions of World of Warcraft, because I was too young at the time to even consider affording the monthly payments. When I was 17 I considered getting Final Fantasy 11, but other singleplayer games caught my attention first. I'm not adverse to trying out new MMORPG's, looking for a good one, and I l...
TCPS 16: Deus Ex: Podcast Revolution

Animus, TCPS Style! Part One: Looking Back
July 03, 2011 09:51So, we're going to hop in our Animus and look back at the First 6 months of gaming and tell you what was awesome, what sucked, and what was surprisingly good. Let's not kill anyone on the way. I'm looking at you, Desmond. And just because I look at Desmond, it doesn't exclude you, Megan. (I have No idea what he's talking about. I would never *stabs passerby* anyone. Damn! I missed my target! *runs) JANUARY: TOP: Mass Effect 2 - Finally, PS3 owners got their hands on the sci-fi epic that ro...
Apologies and Nostalgia
July 02, 2011 10:03*Dusts off controller* *Presses start* Hello. My Name is Strife. Remember me? No. Didn't think so. The truth is that I've been busy. Hella busy. Real life has actually stopped me from doing my duties as a TCPS co-host and blogger and for that, I am indeed sorry. Honestly, I thought about stepping down as TCPS co-host because it seems like I couldn't really keep up with the times. Then I sat myself down and decided that I really REALLY wanted to do this. I really wanted to give you guys ...

TCPS E3 Preview
June 06, 2011 18:05Today kicked off E3, the Electronic Entertainment Expo, and I couldn't be more excited right now. Antonio and I are making sure that one of us watches it live if the other can't. Presently, Microsoft has just wrapped up and I have a long list of notes that I took. What can you expect from this? Well up to 5 podcasts, that's what!The big 3 will get their own podcast, (Unless Sony doesn't give us a lot), and then Ubisoft and EA combined with other third-parties. You might get treated to Microso...
Steampunk Finally makes it's debut in Video Games?
June 04, 2011 00:22This past Memorial Day weekend, here in the US, I found myself a little further south of my home city. I was in Dearborn, MI, while Antonio was moving from his old apartment into his new living quarters. He'll have to fill you in on that, I know very little about how that went. What was I doing down in Dearborn you might ask? Why I was attending the second annual World Steam Expo! An assemblage of steampunk nerds far and wide across the whole world! And now you might be asking, why am I tell...
Objection! Video Games should stay out of my movie, damn it!
May 30, 2011 19:57*Presses start* So, I've been moving recently and I hate life. We've bee...... HOLD IT! There's been a recent announcement that the lawyer with a mission, Phoenix Wright, is getting adapted to the big screen. From the way it sounds, Phoenix, Maya, and Mia, and Edgeworth will all be represented in this long awaited movie. So....why is it that I have a huge problem with that? If you think about it and you've gotten past the first case in the first game, you'd know exactly why. I'm not goi...
TCPS 11: Rapturecast!
May 22, 2011 02:01 - 553 MB VideoRapturecast!!! Oh wait.... This is awkward, we're all still here.... Oh well, listen to our podcast! We play some..... Religiously influenced video games. Our last act before the rapture and we're stuck doing crappy podcasts in hell for eternity. *Warning: Listen/Watch with an OPEN MIND. Meant with Much Humour.*
TCPS 10: Carmen gets Random
May 13, 2011 17:21It's our 10th podcast! We decided to use a Randomizer to play a game, and get some, interesting, results. And then we find pure gold in the form of a V.I.L.E. henchman named after a place in California.
Late Update
May 11, 2011 17:52So there is a reason there was no podcast yesterday. I was busy. Planning stuff. Sunday was Mother's Day, and with Mother's Day is my own mother's birthday. Today, in fact, is her birthday. So I've been planning two things that really cause such distress because they are so close together, the podcast got neglected. But fear not! As I sit her staring at my cat that has cobwebs all over her face and whiskers (looking much she is an evil villain with a handle bar mustache), planning the delicio...
No More Heroes and the Waggle War
May 10, 2011 00:56*Presses Start* Suda 51 is the shit. For those of you who don't keep up with your game directors, Suda is the wonderful director for games such as Samurai Champloo: Sidetracked, Killer7, Fatal Frame IV and the wonderful No More Heroes. To give you a brief summery, you play as Travis Touchdown, a nerd whose new mission is to defeat the top ranked assassin in his new job of killing everyone in his way. It's rude, it's vulgar and best thing of all time, I love and it's one of the best games o...
Geeky Pleasures needs your help!
April 21, 2011 23:59*Presses Start* So, I don't usually do this, but this is a pretty special case. Juila Sherred, a good friend of To Continue Press Start, and really good friend of I, is trying to realize her dream of starting her own radio station. This is no small feat and indeed it is pricey. $3000 pricey and Jules doesn't have a Game Genie booklet so she can't get infinite money. This, loyal readers, is where you come in. Co-op this campaign for her sake. She's asking everyone to donate ten bucks to ...

April 21, 2011 15:21 - 61.5 MBWe're back with another Audio podcast! And we've got another guest, Shua, as we rant and rave about the PSN ordeal, talking about Nintendo, and generally getting off topic.
Podcast update
April 19, 2011 19:38So usually today you'd be treated to the weekly podcast! Well, it's going to be delayed today, sorry! That real life think has been a kick int he pants for the past few weeks, and it seems to only be getting worse. Whether it be insane kittens (and cats), insane weather, or moving (all three for me), it's doing it's best to delay me. Thank you for sticking with us, we have some awesome things in store like we said in the previous post, and stay tuned!
Tutorial Menu!
April 17, 2011 22:18*Presses Start* My Birthday was yesterday. It was shitty, thanks for asking. I'm going to answer some questions and hopefully make some things clear for anyone who keeps visiting the blog. Blog "What exactly is this blog supposed to be about?" This is essentially a gaming blog based off of random stuff we decide to talk about. Our number one focus is the podcast but I try to update the blog as often as I can. "Why aren't their more reviews on here?" There are a couple of reasons, but...
TCPS 8: Chrono Trigger Duex
April 13, 2011 00:07 - 1.16 GB VideoThis is part two of Chrono Trigger, the thrilling conclusion of how far we got in the game. Come back with us on the journey with Chrono (er, Kai) in the RPG Chrono Trigger. We're still on a mission to save the world (barring phone calls) and save the Queen, er, Princess, or was it a Kitty? Let's just hope we don't end up in prison.
