Substance TV

Eirk, or as he’s known on them there internets “Cavetreasure”, has been a big part of Substance TV from the start. Even before it was created, he’s the guy who got me back into gaming after years of being out of it. The idea of Substance TV was sparked from our Friday nights of gaming. And now that the show has actually become a reality, Erik has been the backbone of many aspects of the show. From the graphics, intro, outro, and everything in between, I couldn’t do it without him.

But he’s no one trick pony. As was covered in an earlier post, Erik created a show called “Old Games, New Sound”. Like the title says, Erik takes old games and puts new sound effects and music to them. The results are fantastic. As you can imagine, it’s quite a bit of work.

It seems I’m not the only one to notice this as Screwattack has featured him on their weekly Sunday Submission for his work on Castlevania III. Again, this is a great honor and just all around full of awesomeness. I hope to see him continue this series down the road. For those that have already seen it, well, watch it again. For those that haven’t, behold the beauty that is Castlevania III.

P.S. You rock Erik!

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.
