The Clash At Demonhead!

news bomb: you gotta shoot 'em in the head!

Thanks to Kerry who made an appearance on the show and for reminding me how much of a super dork I am. Here are the news links for the episode of Get Back To 8-bit on 12/11/09:

I'll bet this is what your mum wanted to play after your dad took her to see Logan's Run and she got all horned up seeing Michael York in a silk shirt. The 70s were weird, dude:

SPECIAL DOUBLE 1970s GAME TRAVESTY BONUS: Did anyone at Mego seriously not get what was being said in this commercial? The whole premise is just like one enormous wink at the audience:

Contrary to what Kerry may have originally thought, the US army does not condone Panda murder. They do however create robot planes that feel ennui from the daily grind of human grinding:

That's weird because sometimes I feel like my clock is judging me and my toaster is a speaking in tongues:

Do regular Japanese vending machines only operate on the condition that you battle a tentacle monster violating some nubile co-ed before you can eat your bag of dried squid eyes? What other nation of Earth would so deviously place a challenge between yourself and cake-laden euphoria?

my name is justin bailey! videogame music week 2.

Hey there my bit-heads! On this week's show, inappropriate gaming, suicidal military automatons, coffee tables watching your dull-ass lifestyle and the Japanese making you fight for your right to dessert. All this news and a playlist comprising part two of Get Back To 8-bit's fortnight of chipbeat and videogame music. Joining me in the studio will be young Kerry, who knows nothing of the geek lifestyle and is in attendance as a control to gauge just how worthless this information I spew at you week after week is to those in the real world. I do believe Lizanne, Allan and Jamie are hard at work on completing Ep. One of StoneDEAD, hence their absence from this week's episode which they seemed to be taking up comfortable residence within, but fear not listener as I doubt we've seen the last of them by far.

Press Start to begin play!

it's dangerous to go alone! take this.

Attention Bit-heads,

The second part of Get Back To 8-bit's chipbeat and videogame theme hits this Thursday, with some old classics, lesser known offerings and some contemporary tunes thrown in to appease all generations of gamers. No remixes by geeks on their computers expecting kudos for other people's works, just the tracks as you remember them from the games. Join, join, join, listen, listen, listen!
