It's been a while since the Error Machine crew has recorded an episode, chalk that up to hectic schedules (we do have lives, you know). Anyway, things should be back to normal in the near future.

Anyway, this week Chris and Erik take the reigns with the talking beard we know as Dustin makes a celebrity cameo. Topics discussed include Chris' new Xbox Juan, Resident Evil HD Remaster sales records, Heather's trip to the hospital, and the new Error Machine YouTube channel!

Games of the Week:

Chris - Halo: Master Chief Collection

Dustin - Rogue Legacy

Erik - Lego The Hobbit

Then after the break, Chris and Erik discuss the discontinuation of Club Nintendo.

Welcome to the beginning of a very exciting time for us. We're branching out, into uncharted waters, with upcoming video content (you can find us on YouTube under the name Error Machine, obs), and we've also decided to go with a new format for the podcast.

Don't worry, all that's really changing is that we will be eliminating our topic discussions, opting instead to keep things short and sweet and to get you on your way. We discuss everything more in depth in the beginning of the podcast.

You'll also hear the voice of Erik Snedegar, who has come on as a new cast member.

Greetings Error Machine listeners. Due to some recent goings-on, Christopher Craig Cramer was not able to join Dustin and Luke this week, so they took it upon themselves to record the second edition of their "Backlogging" series. This time Dustin talks about his recent adventures in Super Mario RPG, and Luke tells a gruesome tale with Splatterhouse.

This was also our first venture into video podcasting, and you can find those on our YouTube channel.

Super Mario RPG talk begins at 3:15

Splatterhouse beings at 22:00

Merry Christmas everyone. Luke, Chris, and I certainly hope that all of you are enjoying your holidays. And what better way to celebrate than by sitting back and listening to the three of us recount some of our fondest memories of the cherished holiday.

We talk about some of our favorite presents from the past, the joys of seeing our families open their gifts, as well as our favorite Christmas movies. It's guaranteed to be the best half hour of your Christmas season.

It's a little later than normal, but what topic would be worth waiting for more than the PlayStation? We conclude our discussion of the classic system but talking about how it opened up the west to receive a ton of RPGs like Legend of Dragoon and Suikoden II, how Silent Hill brought a different type of survival horror to the table, the myriad fantastic franchises that began on the system, some of the hardware flaws, and a bunch of hidden gems.

But before we do that, we of course have to update you on Luke's Amiibo hunting, Chris singing the praises of Amazon, and Dustin talks about one of the most underrated and amazing moments ever in gaming: the first time you see Mario do a front flip with the star power-up.

We also discuss the new releases like Guilty Gear Xrd - SIGN -, and that's about it. We describe what the game Kalimba is, apparently it's a Jumanji type game where you play as pro wrestler Kamala. Sounds pretty awesome.

Games of the week

Dustin - New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Luke - Titan Attacks!

Chris - Dishonored

There was so much to talk about in this episode that we actually have to split the discussion topic into two episodes. It was the 20th anniversary of the original PlayStation, and we wind up talking for a good 45 minutes about the console without even scratching the surface.

We share some of our favorite memories and games, as well as going over a bit of the history of how the consoles came to be. We cover Final Fantasy VII/VIII/IX and Tactics, the Resident Evil Trilogy, Metal Gear Solid, Twisted Metal, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, and so many more. That discussion begins around the 50-minute mark. Be sure to come back next week for part 2.

Luke also shares a story about how he basically waterboarded his 6 year old daughter in the bathroom of a Taco Bell, Chris hates eBay, we discuss the rumored discontinuation of certain Amiibo, the unfortunate passing of gaming icon Ralph Baer, as well as a brief discussion about Diamond Dallas Page and the best parts of the movie Commando.

Games of the Week:

Dustin - Far Cry 4

Luke - Super Smash Bros.

Chris - Darksiders II

This week it's a two man team as Chris has a wife and child whose heads are exploding with vomit. So Luke and I bring an aimless podcast where Luke talks about his family getting into a fight at Wal Mart on Thanksgiving, and Dustin gives some Black Friday stories.

Games of the Week

Dustin - Secret of Mana

Luke - Dillon's Rolling Western

As always we cover the new releases this week like Secret Ponchos, The Crew, Captain Toad, and Luke describes GetClose: A game for RIVALS.

News topics this week include Xbox hands down winning the Black Friday battle, the two-cannon Samus Amiibo selling for over two-grand, the ridiculous Samsung $120,000 television, and a very fiery discussion about how poorly Ubisoft has handled Assassin's Creed Unity. All that and more in this episode of the Error Machine Podcast.
