Nothing much more to say. It’s Extra Joy!, it’s April 2nd, and it’s 2010. Oddities ensue. Enjoy!

You may remember an arcade game released in 1999 simply called L.A. Machine Guns. And as Hollywood has already whored out most major video game intellectual properties, and the pickings are getting pretty slim. This brings us to the newest video game to get the silver screen treatment. I present to you, L.A. Machine Guns.

It’s late, but I just had to post this. For you fans of the Neo Geo, you’ll all remember the Neo Geo Mini arcade cabs. For those not familiar, here’s a picture of the little thing:

Now as tiny and cool as that is, there’s a Neo Geo cabinet that’s even smaller still! Now this isn’t just some ROM box thrown into a system, it’s an actual one slot MVS! Add to that, it can hook up to your TV as well. So pretty much it’s a miniature consolized Neo Geo arcade machine. Here’s some of the stats on this beauty:

- It’s 17×33 cm
- Uses a PSOne 5″ LCD
- Taito Space Invaders Play TV stick
- Mini Sanwa buttons
- Neo Geo MVS mv-1b as board

It took 5 months to make. Yea, ummmmm this is not practical and completely over the top, but it’s so insanely cool I’d gladly get a Brazilian wax for the chance to touch it. Check it out!

I’ve had this idea in my head for about two years. Worse even, I had this video 99% percent done. Then my Mac decieded not to power up one day. I pretty much said screw it and moved on, but the dream never died. Fast forward to today. I had some extra free time and went for it. The result is this video. The series is called Virtual Virtuality because it’s a stupid series with a stupid name. Enjoy!

BTW: Sorry I haven’t posted in a bit. My internet has been screwy and I may have to buy a new modem and router. For the time being it’s on the fritz.

After much delay, the third dose of Pixel Pill is ready for your consumption. In this episode we talk about our fond memories of arcades. This isn’t so much about one particular game, although we do talk about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles beat em up quite a bit, it’s more of what we remember best. From the social aspect, to vultures, kinds of arcades, food, the decline of arcades, and everything in between, we pretty much yap about it all. Enjoy and make sure to take on a full stomach.

BTW: Since things have been delayed, the fourth episode will be out within the next week in order to catch up a bit.

P.S. If you enjoyed the show, subscribe to us on iTunes. Even better you could rate the show and leave comments. Why? Well, because we’re egotistical self loving sick guys.

Pixel Pill: dose 3: arcades

Whew, it’s finally finished. The premiere episode of Pixel Pill is up and ready to go. This episode, or dose as we like to call it, we cover the video game company Cave, one of the finest makers of shoot em ups (shumps). Not sure who Cave is, then listen to this podcast. Heard about Cave but know very little about them, then listen to this podcast. Do you know everything about Cave and love them like the son you never had, then listen to this podcast.

This took a little bit longer then I expected, but the process should be faster as time goes by. So lay back, relax, get yourself a tall glass of water, and enjoy the smooth goodness of Pixel Pill.

UPDATE – iTunes link is up!
