The podcast is fixed. Digi found that the musical interludes were out of sync. Sometimes Audacity does that and I don't know why. I may have deleted some piece of the other audio tracks without selecting the interlude tracks -- I dunno. In any case, this post is now relevant again and you can download from there after reading the summary.
Not Trigames.NET related, but Darrogamer06 tagged me in this community-wide effort to have everyone say 5 things about themselves that we might not know. So, here's my obligatory entry. I've tagged m0zart, Shenlongbo, SophinaK, the_antipode, DrFish62 and Yeah_Write (though that last one is cheating since I'm only supposed to tag 5 people). You losers! GET TO WORK! ^_^
Finally, I met up with edubuccaneer at the Nintendo World Store. He was visiting all across the United States for the past seven days or so; he hit up Blizzard, EA, and Gamespot, then came down to New York where I took him around China Town and the East Village on a hunt for some old gaming goodies. The Nintendo World Store dealie was so that we could attend the launch event for Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword, where the game's director, Yosuke Hayashi (also of Ninja Gaiden Sigma fame), was signing autographs. I was fortunate enough to get some face time with him and conducted a short interview with him, and edu was kind enough to hold the camera for me. The video is below, and the text of the interview -- if you don't want to sit through Japanese waiting to be translated -- is here.

Finally, at that same event, I shook hands with Brian Crecente from Kotaku (as well as Andrew from joystiq -- please forgive me as I can't place the name of the gentleman who was taking video for him; I apologize). In a turning of the proverbial tables, I decided to ask Brian to JUSTIFY HIS BLOG!!!!!!!! IN15SECONDS. If you don't know, Kotaku always does this "Justify Your Game" bit wher a developer or publisher or PR person or WHOEVER has to pimp his/her product and successfully "justify" it within 15 seconds. Brian's results are below.
