It looks like everything went smoothly. As far as I can tell everything is back up and working. It seems faster for me and with fewer videos on a page, I'm not getting the annoying Revver errors. If you guys find anything out of place please let me know, but I'm gonna call this update finished.
Now I can get back to making the show :)
Remember to update your iTunes feed if you didn't already.

Site Update / Maintenance
My main site over at RetrowareTV is going to be changing a bit. Nothing drastic (in fact you may not even notice), but it does have the side effect of killing the old video links on the page. So if you follow an old link on a message board or something, it'll probably end in a error message. I know it sucks, but from here on out things should be faster and every video will have it's own page (making them easier to navigate and getting rid of those Revver errors I hope).
The big thing that does effect some of the viewers though is that the iTunes feed will be changing. Up till now I've been doing it manually, but I need to find more time to make the show and less time to update the feed, so I'm switching it over to the Revver feed. i know it's kinda a pain to switch it, but on the up side now all the Game Quickies (that I make) will be on there too.
I know it sounds like a bunch of complicated stuff, but it's really going to make it all easier in the end.
So two main things:
1. The site may have some hicups for the next few days (please report them)
2. The iTunes feed is changing and you need to change with it if you want to continue to get VGTO on your iPod. (btw the iTunes feed looks great on an iPod, but the flash version looks better on PCs. Just a little tip)

Amazing Adventures
I've been super busy with work lately, and haven't had a chance to actually work on anything of my own for a while. Recently i picked up a great book called "Sci-Fi Poster Art", and I couldn't get enough of the old 50's and 60's sci-fi/monster movie posters. I thought it would be fun to throw a quick one together.

Fable II Pub Games
I've been addicted to this game lately. Admittedly I got it for free so I may not be so happy about it if I had to pay $10, but as a free game that goes along with my eventual purchase of Fable II, I'm enjoying it.
My favorite by far is Fortune's Tower. It's a simple card game that focuses more on betting and knowing when to get out, rather than knowing specific hands or complicated rules. For some reason I'm super addicted to this mode. The other two modes are alright, but neither one has held my attention for more than a few rounds.
Plus the money and items you earn through playing transfer over to Fable II (once it's released).
I'm not sure it's worth $10, in fact I'm almost positive it's not, but I do think that it's a cool idea to have a mini game outside of a bigger game and I'd like to see more games use it. I'm almost positive you can get this game for free by pre-ordering Fable II, so if you're at all interested in Fable II I'd suggest you get it that way and save your Microsoft bucks for some of the other games that are coming soon like Castle Crashers or Galaga Legends.

EPISODE ELEVEN: "Can It Happen To Us?"
A decade ago, a onetime "niche" industry for the young and the geeky "grew up," conquered the world... and then lost everything. The OverThinker remembers how it happened, and wants to know if the gaming biz is heading down the same path.
I'll try not to let a month pass between installments again - fortunately this one was actually a pretty quick job. What slows these things down is the image-hunting: Some material you'll find TONS of stuff to work with, others... not so much.

Hey You Pikachu!
The show's going well and everything seems to be on track for a new VGTO and a new Quickie in the coming week. But I was talking to some of the guys on the forums and they reminded me of an old VHS tape I had from Nintendo Power. I couldn't seem to find a copy of the video online anywhere so I thought I'd share with you guys. It's the hilariously bad promo video for Hey You Pikachu, enjoy!
