Substance TV

We’re not guys who likes to be late, and as much as we’ve tried to avoid it, Substance TV 7 is not out on October 1st as previously set. Yea, I know, it’s no biggie, but it bothers us. I’ve been working on it on my side as time permits, but some technical difficulties have hampered the progress. That and having every in-law known to man come and visit hasn’t helped either.

So instead of ignoring it and trying to push on without bringing it up, I figured I might as well let you fine folks know what’s going on. There’s no need to panic or kill a goat and sacrifice it to the gods of gaming. All is well. Once these small hurdles are resolved, things should be quickly wrapped up in the next few weeks. As such, I won’t be on here much posting witty comments or interesting stories as I want to devote any free time I have to working solely on the show. After that I’ll continue to bore you with my dull wit. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Now, back to work…

Over the past few months, I’ve had a few viewers ask me why don’t I give “scores” or “points” to games I review. While this may be popular in other video game review shows, magazines, or in general, I find it annoying and useless… Read the rest of this epic article! »

As promised, the games for review in Substance TV episode 7 are revealed. Yea, I know, there’s a picture that shows them all up there anyway, but here’s a list for kicks and giggles (in order of review even!).

Mega Turrican – Sega Genesis

Strider 2 – Sony Playstation

Power Stone – Sega Dreamcast

Thanks for all the suggestions so far, and I’ll be keeping many of them in mind for future episodes. As posted before, episode 7 will be out on October 1st, 2008. While I could wax eloquently, I think I’ll get back to work on episode 7.

P.S. – Thanks again to all the fans of Substance TV for all your support! You folks rock this world upon which I stand.

With episode six in the bag, it’s time to move onto episode numero seven. We are already in production. And before you ask, yes indeed, we have all three games picked. Oh, you’d like to know what those are? Well why didn’t you say so, we will be review-ahhhh you almost got me. You’re good. We’ll be officially announcing the list of games to be reviewed on Wednesday (9-10-08).

What we can tell you is the seventh episode will be released on October the first (10-1-08)! So until then, stay tuned for more updates and check back Wednesday for a full list of games.

P.S. A big thanks to all of those who have signed up, e-mailed, posted comments, or posted on the forums. It is greatly appreciated!

Over the years, some of you have said, “Brian, we love the games you review, but we can never find them, and even if we do, they are insanley expensive”. Yes my child, I have heard your cries, and now I answer those hunger pains. Suckle on the sweet nurturing teet of Gradius 5.

As announced in episode six of ‘Substance TV’, I will be giving away a complete copy of the game, including shipping, for free. What do you have to do, it’s simple. Just register her at www.substance-tv.com and you will be automatically entered into the contest. You’ll see the link at the top left of the website on the sidebar. There’s no gimmicks or hooks. You won’t be on some Russian goat porn e-mail list, unless you’d like to be. Just a good old fashioned contest.

I’ll announce a winner in episode seven. If you’re already registered for the site, well, then you are already good to go. Thanks for all your support and look forward to episode seven in the weeks to come.

As promised, Substance TV Episode 6 is out! Although it’s technically a day or so late, we’ll just say it came out on time for kick and giggles. I had a small technical problem which held up production for a day, but that was quickly resolved. Up for review is Jackal (NES), Ninja Warriors (SNES), and Gradius 5 (PS2). I could go on and on, but it’s pretty much pointless. Go and download the goodness.
