HUGE NEWS!

Wow, this is cool. I've had to wait awhile to tell anyone about this, but now that I can I'm still pretty overwhelmed by it.

"The Escapist" (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/) is best known these days as the website home of video-game critic Yahtzee Croshaw's hugely popular "Zero Punctuation" weekly series. But it's ALSO a full-blown webzine of it's own with lots of other content. As of this week, that content now includes a weekly gaming/geek-culture news series called "The Escapist Show." You should be watching, it's awesome.

Anyway, "The Escapist Show" features along with it's regular content and contributors short humor segments provided by independent web guys, and next week (episode #2, tentatively planned to air on November 4th) the contributor will be... ME! I'll be doing a movie review - can't tell ya which movie yet. Cool, no?

I encourage everyone to check this out... ESPECIALLY all you Game OverThinker fans, since it's YOUR enthusiam for my goofy content that's had alot to do with getting me noticed at this level. I CANNOT thank you guys enough. But don't see it just for me - the series looks really good and off to a great start. And if you like seeing my stuff on there, send some feedback over to Escapist telling them so, and maybe I'll get asked to come back for more. Look for it next week!

It lives!

Computer working again... mostly. New episodes plus something pretty big forthcoming as I make them and complete things. Thank all for patience.

Popmatters Interview

QUICKLY before this crashes again:

I've been interviewed by LB Jeffries of PopMatters about the OverThinker series. How cool is that? No time to even be faux-humble snarky about it (that was on the other blog, and even that was abbreviated.)

Wonder about how I got to be deemed newsworthy later ;)

A memo to the fans

Okay. The reason there hasn't been a new video for almost a month is twofold: Firstly, my PC is apparently in some kind of death-throes, so my ability to get online OR edit is sporadic at the moment. Secondly... I can't say much officially at this time, but I have a few other projects taking up some time right now.

Rest assured that new material is on the way, and that I'll be saying more as soon as I am able to.

Things are looking up

My vacation is almost over, but it's been a pretty good break. First off the Mother 3 translation was released, which is awesome. Also I got to see my sister for a few days which was cool because I basically only get to see her about once a year.
Another big thing is that I was finally able to get the Mega Man II episode up on all of the video services, So that's good. And last but not last I'll be done with my vacation soon, so that means more VGTO in the coming week. :)

See you in a few days

Some problems and an update

Well it's been a crazy week. For whatever reason I can't seem to get the show (Mega Man II) to upload to either Revver (old problem) or Youtube (New and annoying problem). I'm hoping to have it up soon, but in the mean time RetrowareTV will have to do.
Also Yesterday was my Birthday. I didn't really do anything special, but it did kick off a week long vacation that I plan to enjoy to the fullest. So far I have to say I'm off to a bad start lol. Today when I was eating something (I think it was a taco) one of my back teeth broke. So I had to spend a large part of the day at the dentist's office getting it repaired. :(
Hopefully the rest of my vacation will go better. I plan to record some audio for the show once my mouth feels better. I just wanted to keep all of you up to speed on where the show is at and let you know why I may not be as fast with my Email and stuff. Thanks for reading this and I'll be back to posting videos and answering questions in no time. :)

All the best,

-Ben
