We have a bit of a shorter show this week. Cort tried to sabotage us with a locked podcast questions thread, but we manage to push on anyway! The best part of this show has to be the story about Personal Trainer: Walking, and a toilet. Listen in to hear that one! Download the show here (work it, Mac…work it!)

It’s the weekend before E3! Are you getting pumped for all the news that’s sure to head our way? Do you have a press conference party planned?! You better get your wheels in motion, you don’t have much time left! While you’re contemplating how you will avoid work/school to check out Nintendo’s conference, I am going to head to bed. I’ll see you guys in a few, short hours! Normally the weekends are relaxing, but this Saturday is going to be a different story for me. It’s the day before I fly out to California for E3. It’s going to be, without a doubt, the most hectic week of the year. Don’t get me wrong, I’m very excited for the whole week. I just know that I’m going to end up dead tired after about the second day…so I’m not too sure how I’ll make it through the full week! I guess I’ll have Cort carry me around in a backpack or something. For now though, I’ll pretend it’s a weekend of relaxation, just like any other. That means that I’ll kick back and check out this weekend’s episode of Viewtiful Joe, and then head to bed to catch some sleep. Sounds like a great start to a Saturday!

GoNintendo ‘End of Day’ thoughts - Viewtiful Joe: Ep. 4

Direct link here More screens and art in this Flickr set More information at SEGA’s official blog post EVERYBODY’S Super Sonic Racing… or they soon will be. We’ve just announced a new title coming to PS3, 360, Wii and DS in 2010 - Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing. Check out the trailer: In a frantic battle to the chequered flag, Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing sees Sonic and friends speed around tracks set in mediaeval castle ramparts, lush rainforests and bustling cities, all taken from the visually rich and varied universes of Sonic and SEGA. Fan favourites such as Dr. Eggman, Tails, AiAi, Amigo and many more will join Sonic in their custom built vehicles, revving their engines and jostling to stay ahead of the pack. Each character will race around the track in cars, planes, motorbikes, and in AiAi’s case - a banana mobile! Secret short cuts, swift handling and avoiding strategically placed obstacles are certainly the best way to get to the top of the podium. “Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing is no ordinary racing game. Its huge variety of characters and vehicles, plus the ability to play both online and off set it apart from other games of this type” commented Gary Knight European Marketing Director, SEGA Europe Ltd. “The team have pushed the boundaries on what you would normally expect and created a different and unique party racing title whereby you really can’t take anything for granted!” And winning is only part of the fun in Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing! Each character has a specific All Star move such as Super Sonic, Banana Blitz and Tails Tornado, allowing a quick way for competitors to get back into the race! Power ups and weapons can also be collected around the tracks and used against the opposition to ensure they don’t become a threat to that number one position… Players can battle it out in single or multiplayer mode, allowing up to four friends to race in frantic split-screen action, or up to eight players to compete online in the ultimate racing showdown. Thanks to Dan for the heads up!

Don’t you get tired of hearing the same PR spin on every game announcement? The press releases are filled with tons of buzz-words…terms that won’t stick with the industry for more than a few months. Then when you try to get a developer interview, they spout the same type of nonsensical rhetoric. Wouldn’t it be refreshing to hear game developers speak to us like we are people, instead of mindless consumers? Article here

No matter how much testing is done before a game releases, there’s no way the developers can find absolutely every bug and glitch. When that game does hit the market, there are hundreds of thousands, even millions of players that are approaching any and all game situations in all sorts of different manners. Along the way, someone is bound to find something that doesn’t work right. There are legions of gamers that pride themselves on finding and exploiting these glitches. Sometimes the elements of games that were never intended through programming end up being some of the most compelling aspects of a game. Article here

There’s only one thing I can say about this week’s show. We were lucky enough to have Deux Michaels join us this time around. Make sure you have a listen, because he doesn’t know the next time he’ll be able to return! Download the show here (after you’re done being hypnotized) Pic link

Due to the earlier podcast recording, I wasn’t able to go for my walk yesterday. No worries though, I can easily grab one on Saturday and Sunday. I’ll be back with more Personal Trainer: Walking data before you know it. Right now, I’m off to get some sleep! See you all in a few, short hours. This is how I know that the weekend has truly started. I get to post up another Viewtiful Joe episode. I hope you guys are snuggling up to your computer monitors, bowl of your favorite cereal in hand, and ’sleep’ still crammed into the corner of your eyes. I hope something as bright and colorful as the Viewtiful Joe cartoon will help you jump-start your weekend into being the best it can be! Isn’t it nice to just sit back and watch some cartoons? For that short half hour, you can feel like you don’t have a worry in the world. I think that’s why I love video games so much! Direct link here
