Also want to add... I can't believe I forgot the theme song! 
Then again... it was 4/20 XD
First off sincere apologies for being late with this episode but we do make up for it. This episode is a bit of a doozy at an hour long. Ralf Jones is missing in action again but there are two guests who fill in. One being theincrediblejeff and the other being Angel Cruz aka Terry Bogard. Also this podcast has an explicit tag for a reason... you have been warned!
This episode we discuss what games we'd like to see updated and the two guests give a short list on their favorite games. We'd also discuss what we'd like to see from Nintendo at E3 since out of the three Nintendo's moves are what's been troubling us the most. (Don't let out comments fool you though we do love Nintendo still)
We also get on a bit of tangent with movies with comic books and comic book movies. :D I did say this is a fandom podcast not just video games.

So this week's episode Clark Steel is recording alone. Is this a bad sign? The co-host is already leaving his partner to record alone? I wouldn't take it as that but I tell you I hate recording alone. I try my best though. In this episode I give out a bit of news and discuss my top ten games of all time. The top three in the top ten list have themes before I announce them.
As for the bit of news
Hideo Kojima's keynote speech video (which I highly recommend watching when you have the time)

OnLive's challenges:
http://g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/694375/GDC-2009-Four-Challenges-For-OnLives-Gaming-Service.html
These are the challenges g4 said:1) Internet Service Providers (ISPs): This is the biggest issue I see with OnLive. A few North American ISPs are already using bandwidth caps, bandwidth throttling, and bandwidth shaping. Several others are experimenting with these "features", with plans to roll out limits in the near future. I don't care how revolutionary OnLive's compression scheme is -- delivering 720p graphics requires a lot of bandwidth. For many customers, this would either limit their OnLive play time or make it very expensive.
2) 2) It's Easier to Sell a Box Than a Service: Yes, I know OnLive has a cute little microconsole. That's just one delivery mechanism and not really what OnLive is about. It's a service. It's more difficult to market and sell a service than a physical box. While I'm sure gamers that are interested will do the proper research, I doubt general consumers will. Casual gamers can see that Nintendo's Wii is different and easy to use. They can see that Sony's PlayStation 3 offers high-quality gaming and Blu-ray movies. They can see that Microsoft's Xbox 360 offers better graphics than Wii and a lower price than PlayStation 3. Explaining what OnLive is, what it offers, and why it's worth paying a monthly fee for will require a ton of work. Furthermore, the company is establishing a new brand that doesn't have the benefit of playing off of a household name like Nintendo, Sony, or Microsoft.
3) There Are No Exclusives (Yet): It's going to be hard for OnLive to differentiate itself without any exclusives. I don't care what David Reeves says -- exclusives are still an important way for consoles to differentiate themselves. While OnLive is a service, it will compete with PlayStation 3, Wii, and Xbox 360. Those platforms have established franchises that can only be found on their systems. Why should a gamer go with OnLive when it can play all of the same games on a traditional machine, as well exclusives?
4) Competing In the PC Market: As for the PC market...that's a different battle. PC gamers are a dedicated group that spend a lot of money on their rigs to play the latest and greatest games. I don't see many enthusiast PC gamers abandoning their upgrade cycles and taking a risk on an unproven service like OnLive. As for the millions of PC owners that are casually interested in games, will the titles that OnLive will offer appeal to them? Or are they content with something like Diner Dash 2? If they fall into the former category then is OnLive really worth it? The monthly fees will likely add up to the cost of an annual graphics card upgrade and a few games. Unless they're totally taking advantage of the variety OnLive will purportedly offer, I don't see the value.
What is OnLive?
