Well I said that Batjew and I would deliver a full review of Herdy Gerdy today. It turns out that was a big fucking lie. What we did deliver though is something I think is even better. Really I do. We got together the other night to discuss our feelings about the game over messenger and then figured, why should we do any extra work? Let's just post the chat log. So that is exactly what we have done. It's a candid, behind the scenes look at something or other. Be sure and check it out.
To this very day I still get mail asking me the outcome of this VERY special Penny Arcade cartoon. Well, Not only did she say yes but today is our two year anniversary. I guess 25 years is silver and 50 years is gold. It turns out 2 years is rare video game hardware. So I really lucked out there. Thanks to eBay I am now the proud owner of a Neo Geo Hyper 64 mother board brand new in its original box. If you are not familiar with the Hyper 64 I can't say I blame you. It was supposed to be SNK's answer to games like Tekken and Virtua Fighter 2. However it too suffered from the SNK curse and floundered for a few years in arcades before being dismissed totally. They only released a hand full of games for it. Two of them happen to be 3D Samurai Showdown games. These are the ones I am desperately hoping to get my hands on. The best site I could find with info about the Hyper 64 is in French. So I hope you guys can read French.
I have good Penny Arcade related news to deliver today. You can all stop mailing me now the Wang Fu t-shirts will be available at GameSkins in all sizes this week. Look for them to go back on sale around Wednesday. New shirt designs are also in the works including the very popular D12 shirt that our dead roommate Jim sported a few months ago as well as Div and the Fruit Fucker 2k.
As you can see Sega is sponsoring the site this month and advertising their Free SegaNet Weekend. I would ask that you all go check it out and register if you can. Tycho, Batjew, Safety Monkey and myself have all registered and will be playing PSO version one all weekend on the 16th and 17th. If you have a DC and PSO register and meet us in there. If you don't have a DC, what the hell is wrong with you they are like 50 bucks for Christ's sake. Put PA or PA related stuff in your game name and we'll be jumping around trying to meet as many of you as we can. Nothing beats blowing an entire weekend building up your mags and killing monsters with a bunch of PA fans. I'm really looking forward to this and I hope to see a lot of you guys there. Check out this page for more information on the Free SegaNet weekend.
Transformers man. Trans-fucking-formers!
