Substance TV

When you get older, birthdays tend to come and go without much notice, but I’ve forgotten one important birthday this year. No, not my Aunt Themla’s. She’s an icy cold corpse of a woman who’s beauty and wits faded away long before we threw her into that mental institution. I’m talking about this website. One year ago on April 2nd, this site was born.

And I want to thank everyone who has been a part of this whole thing. The site started as a simple, and quite crappy, static frontpage. Now it’s, well, a little less crappy. All I wanted is a place to host high quality versions of my videos, but now I’ve got a readership as well, who for some reason beyond my understanding, enjoying reading my ramblings as well as watching the show. I’d also like to thanks sites like Superior Version, Pineconeattack, Screwattack, and RetroWare TV for plugging the site and giving us views.

So happy late birthday www.substance-tv.com. Don’t get wasted on cheap bandwith and easy servers. You’ve still got work to do.

So I’ve been a little absent from the site as of late, but it’s all for a good reason. Now I’ve teased you all with some sort of announcement in my last update. And, as promised, I’ll let you in on my little secret.

From the creators of Press Start and Substance TV comes your bi-weekly dose of gaming goodness that you won’t get anywhere else, it’s Pixel Pill! We’re kinda like video game fiber. Though I’m not sure if I want to see anyone taking a pixelated video game dump.

That’s right, I’ve teamed up with Nick and Gerard from Press Start Comic to create a new podcast about all things gaming that not many people talk about. We had some much fun BS’ing over Live that we decided that we should just record it and maybe people will listen to it. Plus the need for quality podcasts is much needed. Our friends over at Pineconeattack are one of the few podcasts I listen to on a regular basis, so we hope to bring more goodness to the table.

We’ll be recording the first show tomorrow night (Friday) and have it up to download soon after. We’ll cover some gaming news that interests us, introduce ourselves and then jump right into our first topic, The Games of Cave. If you’re a fan of Bullet Hell SHMUPS, this is the show for you. We’ll be talking about our favorite games from Cave, and then talk about their newest game set to release on the 360 in Japan, Death Smiles.

Below is the new fancy smacy logo. Keep it tuned here for the link to our first show!

Well the boys at Pineconeattack are back in action…..yo! This week I’ve been patiently waiting for Pinekast 9, and it has finally hit the nets as they say. This episode the cover a few interesting topics including the Resident Evil series. Follow the link below for more goodness.

*WARNING – THERE BE RESIDENT EVIL 5 STORYLINE SPOILERS AHEAD YEE MATEYS!*

Pinekast 9

THEY SET US UP THE BOMB!

The servers for Pineconeattack got a nasty virus, from what I hear the server had been interfacing with some old virus ridden Apple II’s. But as their song remix so poetically and perfectly phrased, “WISE FROM YOUR GWAVE!”, they came back to life. I’m not sure how much work was involved in said recovery, but as a Wordpress user myself, it would not be any fun.

I have to say my work week was empty without a Pinekast podcast to get me through the day. STREET FIGHTER IV WOOOOOO! Glad to see them back in business.

Pineconeattack is back baby!

Long story short, the forums here suck. With my limited knowledge of Wordpress, it’s the best I can do. My website programming skills are pure weak sauce. Because of this and our recent joining of forces with RetroWare TV, the forums will now be over there. John was kind enough to give us our own forums, so it makes sense for a few reasons. One because there are already a good amount of posts, but mainly because their forums work and don’t have the odd formatting issues ours do.

Out with the old and in with the new. So from now on, visit: Substance TV forums. The link to the new forums will also be in the top bar as well.

End of line.

BTW: Episode 9 is in production. Look out for details in the weeks to come.

Episode six of Pinekast is up and running. This episode is all about Capcom fighters, with a special guest star. Oh, and a little game called Street Fighter IV. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! So, um, yea, go listen.

BTW: Tenno, go buy Street Fighter IV!
