Sweet Kidneys of Columbus It's Been A While Hasn't It?

Christ I've been away for a while, and believe me - I didn't mean to neglect you, Pixlbit, you minx, but I have been extremely busy with real life - vacation planning, working my ass off, and of course, working on Season 3 of Retro Rampage.

The first big thing we've done is the Season 3 Opener - a fantastic introduction into what new and exciting shit we've got coming in the rest of this season, as well as some brand new ventures into various gaming worlds, and to top it all off, a Super C Redemption, where we wipe the game clean with minimal resistance.

With that - we're also working on a retro gaming trivia board game!  Imagine Trivial Pursuit, except not lame and it's ALL retro trivia questions, a whopping 210 of them - plus 6 super hard "hidden boss" questions, and 9 different powerups to aid you in your adventure!  It's 99% complete, just have to order the prototype, playtest it, make sure everything is kosher, and then it'll go live and you can bet your ass there'll be a sweet ass announcement and a video to go along with it!

After we knocked that out, we made our first in-depth live action Retro Rampage video, where we asked the question "What would real life be like within the control schemes and camera angles of Resident Evil?"  We answered that and enjoyed a nice beverage and a Jill sandwich with Resident Evil in Real Life.

It turned out great, and we got to test some of our new equipment and video editing software, so it was a learning experience and an enjoyable time filming, and so far people are loving it - including our own fellow 1UP refugee Abobo-san!

Our most recent release is of the fantastic TurboGrafx/PC Engine action platformer Ninja Spirit, complete with strange references to mall food-court faire "Orange Julius," and how fucking incredible the PC Engine Turbo Duo R is.

Once the board game comes out, we'll be putting all of our efforts back into videos of course, and I'd like to thank each and every one of you that watches the show, listens to our bullshit on Twitter, and of course subscribes, comments, likes, and shares.

Now that all of the RR news is out of the way - I'd like to say that I'm going to be continuing to port over my previous articles to PixlBit here for a 2nd round of gaming glory, and on top of that, we've got a guest post on HardCoreGaming101.net coming out (hopefully) soon, which we're very excited about!

So stay tuned for the coming days/weeks and expect some new (old?) content on this here page, and of course your YouTube feed if you're one of our fantastic, sexy ass subscribers.  Watch out PixlBit, I'm back (Duke Nukem 2 intro anyone? All I needed was to shoot a smiley face into a target at the range and I'd be set.)

Of course! It should be retailing for about 34.99 once it's released - we're ordering the prototype VERY soon to do some playtesting and making any final rule changes if necessary.
