The Steam Podcast

Well, we’ve got some good news, and we’ve got some bad news. I’m a pessimist, so I’ll go with the bad news first

We’ll be delaying this weeks episode of the podcast. Unfortunately, we were a little too busy to get anything done, and as a result, we weren’t able to record a thing for you guys. Please don’t pitchfork me Ben

Now for the good news!

Next week, we’ll be bringing you the podcast on an earlier date ! Although, we’ll be doing something a little different next week.

Bob has graciously agreed to be our front man, venturing out into the sun in order to camp out for his pre-ordered PS3. You’re probably wondering, “How does this affect the podcast?”

Well, while Bob is out camping for his PS3, we’ll be calling him on his cell phone, and including him in the conference. We’ll still do our regular segments, such as the news, new releases, fan mail, and of course, our 1337 Cat of the week, on top of all that, Bob will also be documenting everything that’s happening down at the store. Who knows, maybe bob will even give the PS3 a test run on the air.

I hope you’re all as excited as we are for this weeks episode. We look forward to hearing from all of you. Remember, if you have a suggestion, or even a complaint, then send it on in! We read and reply to all of our fan mail.

Sorry again for the delay! Hopefully we’ll make up for it in our next episode.

So I guess Ramzy and I had a little miscommunication, and we didn’t end up recording the podcast yet. However, it’s no big deal because by the time I was able to get in line for the PS3 the measly supply of units within a 30 mile radius was already locked up.

That’s ok though, I’m not heartbroken. In all honesty I wasn’t going to keep it. I was going to resell it on eBay for $5,000,000 or whatever they’re going for now.

However, I have pretty much decided that I’m going to get a Wii. I’ve done a lot of research and there are supposed to be over 600 units available in my hometown on launch day. I do have something going the afternoon before, but I’m hoping that since single stores are getting up to 120 units I’ll be able to score one with little effort.

One more thing, and I know you’re going to hate me for this. I’m going out of town this weekend, and since I won’t have access to my desktop PC we won’t be able to record the podcast until early next week. However, I’ll hopefully be able to give you my honest opinion of the Wii after playing it all weekend.

Is that a fair trade? You better think so, because that’s the way it’s going down.

Thanks for hanging in there guys.

I was successful, and I now a Wii set up in my living room. I waited in line at Walmart for 8 hours and was #8 in line. Good thing too, because they expected 60 systems and only 29 showed up.

I also got an extra remote and Excite Truck. I have pics of the unboxing, but honestly I’m not going to give you guys the rundown for a day or two, because I’m having too much fun playing!

Suffice it to say though, that I’m thoroughly convinced that this will definitely revolutionize the way we interact with games.
