Substance TV

As promised, Substance TV episode 8 is finished and ready to go. To be honest, it's been done for a few days. So obviously you're asking why isn't it uploaded? Good question indeed.

About a week ago, Erik and I were contacted by John D. over at RetroWare TV. Long story short, he asked us if we would like to be a new show on the site. I talked to John over e-mail and even on the phone about all the details. Afterwards, Erik and I talked it over, and a few days ago we we accepted their offer.

Now what does this all mean and what has changed? Nothing really. The only major change will be that all future episodes of Substance TV will now premiere on RetroWare TV's website http://www.retrowaretv.com. Then after a few days, the show will be on our website, Youtube, and all those other places. So you'll still be able to download high quality versions of the show, watch episodes through the podcast, and even Youtube. It'll just be a bit delayed.

And no, there's no big cash payoff or exchange of money in some secret Swiss bank account. And there's no change of ownership or change in what we can and can't review. This joint venture is good for both sites. For RetroWare TV, it gives them another show to add to their lineup and another reason to check out the site. For Substance TV, it gets the goodness out there to more people. We've always enjoyed RetroWare TV's stuff, and they're a good bunch of guys who just enjoy playing video games. So we're honored to be a part of it all.

I'll be the first to admit that episodes of Substance TV have not come out as fast as Erik and I would like. All that will change with this move as we will be putting out a new episode of Substance TV every month. Substance TV will still be committed to putting out the same quality review show each and every episode.

Episode 8 will premiere over at RetroWare TV's website on Tuesday (3-10-09). I would have loved to get it out this week, but both us and RetroWare TV needed time to make the changes and get things ready.

Both Erik and I want to say how much we appreciate our fans and folks that have given us support over the years. I want to say a special thank you to Jangofatt and crew over at http://www.pineconeattack.com. They always throw some lovin' our way whether it be in the form of articles on their website or mentions in the podcast. They were one of the first websites to give Substance TV notoriety. Plus they themselves have great content as well.

And this news is exclusive to you few fine folks who visit our little site. We wanted to give you a heads up and let you know what was going on.

Well, that's about it. Remember to check out episode 8 on Tuesday at http://www.retrowaretv.com. And we're already working on preparations for episode 9.
