Substance TV

Sunday morning I’m awaken by my alarm. I turn it off and after I get up and around, I go check my e-mail. Once I log onto my Gmail account, I am greeted by quite a sight. Over 40 e-mails over the course of the night. Now as much as I’d love to say I get that many e-mails that aren’t spam or penis enlargement ads, I can’t. This was an unusual thing indeed.

The e-mails were subscription notices from YouTube, and if you’ll recall from last time I experienced this, it was from a feature on a website. So I go to the first likely suspect. Good old ScrewAttack. And what do you know, Substance TV episode 7 is featured! I gotta say, that made my day. I even got a chance to call Erik up and tell him the good news.

So yet again, I heart Craig. Well, in a strictly non-sexual way. I mean he’s a good looking guy and all, I just don’t see us together in that way. Maybe if things were different and…….oh yea, sorry, got a little off track.

It’s good to see ScrewAttack still featuring content by average joes. Because of the g1 Sunday Submission, shows like 2-bit Gaming, Still Gaming, and many others have been thrust into the limelight and given some much deserved attention. I’ve been exposed to a lot of great videos, podcasts, and just plain awesomeness thanks to ScrewAttack’s Submission Sunday. I also enjoyed reading everyone’s feedback and comments. I’m grateful you folks enjoy our little show. It means a lot to know that people out there appreciate the work you do and honestly enjoy it. To all the old and new fans of the show, thank you so much. It’s been said a million times by a million people, but without you, we wouldn’t be where we are. Sure, we’d still do the show, it’s what we love to do. But to have fans that come back every episode is an honor.

So enough of the sappiness, it’s back to work on episode 8.

Another episode means another lineup of games. Now for the faithful and diligent viewers who watched all the way till the end of episode 7, you got a little bite sized Metal Gear treat wrapped in gooey gaming innuendo. Three small clues about each game were given. Some of you figured it out, while others were left scratching their heads. The three clues given by our friend Ocelot were:

“A flying kid who shoots lazer beams”
“A winged girl with a crystal spear”
“A boy who battles evil with the help of a bird”

As cryptic as some of those clues were, a few of you guessed correct. Want to see if you were right? Then click on!

It’s no secret that I do loves me the boys at www.pineconeattack.com. Why’s that you ask? Well, they play a mean game of Left 4 Dead co-op and versus (that is when the other team isn’t using t4h haxors!), they heart pinball, they have some great articles about anything and everything, but most importantly, they were one of the first websites that gave Substance TV some lovin’.

Now the boys have gone into the land of podcasting with their show “PineKast”. Even in the first podcast, they cover some interesting topics from Street Fighter 4 and one of the member’s obsession with multiple consoles. So enjoy!

EDIT: Now the show is up on iTunes and ready for your listening pleasure.

Over the past few months, I’ve had some folks wondering if there were any plans to release Substance TV on DVD. And to be honest, I’ve had the thought every now and again. If the demand is there, then I’d be more then happy to give out the lovin’ on DVD. As far as cost goes, I would only charge what it cost me to produce it. Pretty much the cases, printing, and discs themselves. They would be relatively cheap (I’m guessing under $10).

So, simply put, would any of you fine folks be interested in a DVD for Substance TV? Post comments, questions, or concerns below and cast your vote.

It is a blessed time my children. After months and months of toil and heartache, I have a PS3 and am happily playing Metal Gear Solid 4. I haven’t had much time to play this in the middle of finishing episode 7 and starting episode 8, but slowly and surely I’m getting through this gift from the gods.

So in between work, family, life, and Substance TV, I’ll be spending some quality time with my love Metal Gear. Well, back to the killin’!

Since the last episode covered Strider 2, I thought what more appropriate time to share this little story.

It’s a well known fact that Erik and I enjoy our fair share of video games. But, there’s much more to us then just video games. Well, maybe not much more. Maybe not even a whole lot more, but small bit more.

Ya see, long ago Erik and I met for the first time in a small, cramped, rundown art room. It was our freshman year of college. I’m not sure what art class it was, but it sucked royally. Both of us grew up doodling, drawing, and sketching. Over the years we’ve both done our fair share of it, but we never really collaborated on anything. That is until just a few years ago.
