  • Critical Strike 16: Getting To Know Us Like The Palm Of Your Hand

    Josh thought it would be a good idea for this episode to forgo our

    usual fighty/shouty top five lists and the Video Game Music Challenge.
    Instead, we do what we do worst, we let our egos do the talking and
    tell how brilliant each of us is. We discuss our feelings and emotions,
    how we felt when we discovered that our princess was in another castle.
    We get in touch with our respective feminine sides (Josh can't keep his
    hands to himself!). Okay, that's not really how this podcast goes down,
    because no one wants to hear that crap. But we do talk a bit about
    ourselves, who we are, and what we like as gamers.

    Late in this episode we discuss a few games that we would like to

    see updated (as necessary) and brought out on either Xbox Live Arcade
    or the Playstation Store. At the end, Kyle and I give out this ep's
    Fail Award (guess who gets it!).

    So, without further ado, I give you Critical Strike Podcast, episode

    (pssst! josh, what episode number is this?) 15...16? Question
    mark?...The Nerd, the geek, and the sasquatch.

    Transition Music: Marvel vs Capcom, Final Fantasy 7, No More Heros
