Critical Strike 87: Vita and Cripples | Its been a long time coming but something may have finally been able to pull me back to the handheld market for games, I've tried the Nintendo 3DS, iPad 2 and a few other devices but as you'll hear throughout this episode I recently picked up a PlayStation Vita!

Quite frankly we've had a whole heap of problems like the plague, a baby monitor screwing up someones internet connection. Either way its about time we got back to doing the show! This episode is a bit longer than normal, I wanted to keep most of the stuff in as it was just fun to do.

Critical Strike 83: Dickhouse Technologies | Thanksgiving is out of the way but having all that open time to play games and chat with everyone over skype was where the real magic came from.

Critical Strike 76: Rice Pudding!! | We're so close to being back on schedule and it was actually really fun recording this episode with Kyle but I think the thing that made it so great was his new microphone. Its funny how something so simple can mix up how you feel about a show after 6 years. Editing was easier and so was recording it. Here is what was discussed: Spotify, Killzone 3, Warhammer 40K: Kill Team, Dungeon Siege 3, Gatling Gears, NCAA 12, Galaga Legions DX, a very awkward story involving Kyle without a shirt on and 80's music playing in public.

Critical Strike 75: Explosive Birds | Well we've had a nice long summer break but its time to get back to recording on a regular schedule. Hopefully things calm down in both our lives so we can spend some more time on all this stuff as we've both missed it! Its also nice to know that Kyle's attention isn't any better after all this time because during the intro he said it was episode 74 even though its actually 75. Regardless of all that, here is what we discussed: Outland, inFAMOUS/inFAMOUS 2, Dungeons and Dragons: Daggerdale, Terraria, ilomilo, World of Keflings, Socom 4, Uncharted 3 beta.

CleanCritical Strike 74: Chiptunes Tres! | It's been two years since I visited this style of music, but now seems like a better time than ever to revisit the chiptune community. I've learned a few new things this time around, there are a ton of new artists who are doing amazing work and chiptunes seem to be getting better and better. I'm happy I took some time off from doing this type of episode because it just feels right now, hopefully everyone enjoys all the hard work these artists have put into their music and shows them a bit of support. Artists in this episode: minusbaby, syphus, criticalhit, The J. Arthur Keenes Band, Starscream, Cornbeast, Dr. Szliszka, Chetreo, SMILETRON, Nullsleep, Arcade Superstar, Wizwars | 6/2/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Critical Strike 73: Space Crabs! | We finally got around to recording a actual episode but the best part about it is we were once again joined by our good friend Bill from For Your FYI who has made several appearances in the past. It's always nice to get the guys from that show on here because we always seem to have more fun. It was nice getting together with the boys to do another episode and even answer some questions from twitter.

Critical Strike 72: Melting Faces Again | About a year ago I promised to everyone that I would do another music episode based on video game bands and for some unknown reason I just never did it. I'm sure that makes me a jerk, but at least its finally done now, right? Either way, I'm happy to finally get this settled and release another music episode since a bunch of new bands have emerged and released their own interpretations with the video game music we've all grown up and loved! I hope you enjoy all their work and that you seek them out to give them support so they may continue to give us these face melting tunes. Music in this episode: The Megas, Distorted Evolution, FamicomBit, The Protomen, This Place is Haunted, The Kode, Year 200X, Daniel Tidwell, VikingGuitar, Descendants Of Erdrick, The Advantage, Powerglove You can reach us at cstrikepodcast@gmail.com, leave a voicemail at (909) 278-7453 or Twitter at criticalstrike | 5/1/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Critical Strike 71: Robo-Fists | Finally getting back into the routine of doing a show, Kyle and I were a bit surprised that we had so many games to discuss to begin with that a few didn't even make it. That isn't exactly something that happens to us too often because we have such limited playing time, but it sure made for a welcome change! Here is what we discussed: MLB The Show 11, Marvel vs Capcom 3, Pixeljunk Shooter 2, Days of Thunder Nascar, Nintendo 3DS, Super Street Fighter IV 3D, Singularity, Fallout New Vegas, Beyond Good & Evil, Red Dead Redemotion, Rift Music in this episode: Danger Zone (H-Pizzle), Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII You can reach us at cstrikepodcast@gmail.com, leave a voicemail at (909) 278-7453 or Twitter at criticalstrike Direct Download [audio:http://traffic.libsyn.com/criticalstrike/Critical_Strike-71.mp3] | 4/12/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Critical Strike 70: PAX Wrap Up | if you aren't sick of hearing about Penny Arcade Expo East yet, well now you can hear all about our impressions about this years event! It was nice seeing Kyle and Nancy again but I'm pretty sure we were all overwhelmed by the size of the event this year. Thanks to everyone we met and all the great games we got to play but if you've never been, you should really try and go one year just to experience the pure chaos that is a gathering of thousands of nerds. Here is some of the games we discussed: Swarm, Duke Nukem Forever, Mortal Kombat, Super Street Fighter IV 3D, Dragon Nest, Child of Eden.

That Gamer Podcast, Pax East Coverage – Day 2 | The fine gentlemen over at That Gamer Hub were kind enough to invite Kyle and myself over to their quad-super hotel studio to record a post day 2 PAX East podcast. We were a little hopped up and Kyle might have been under the influence of alcohol after our little Super Street Fighter IV gathering with The Rumble Pack but it ended up being a good time! We'd like to thank That Gamer Hub for having and introducing us to John and Rachel (from Pixelated Geek). | 3/13/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Critical Strike 68: Behold LittleBigKyle 2! | This was an interesting episode for us as it marks the first time Kyle pretty much did the entire thing on his own.

Critical Strike 67: Wafting Joy | As promised and totally expected, we have stuck to our schedule and finally released a episode in a timely manner! It's been a good couple of weeks because neither of us were hit by a car or ended up deathly ill but most importantly one of my most anticipated games came out so I was very excited to discuss it to Kyle, sadly I think everything I had to say about it fell on deaf ears but we shall see! Here is what we discussed: Singularity, Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 2, Final Fantasy XIII, LittleBigPlanet 2.

Critical Strike 66: Spelunking the Splatterhouse | While its been a few weeks since we actually recorded, we're actually right on schedule with releasing the show because the last one was put out just a couple of weeks ago!

ExplicitCritical Strike 65: Enter the Cataclysm | So this episode has been sitting on my hard drive for a few weeks, I really can't explain why I didn't edit it sooner minus something that happened to me last week. I finally got a bit tired of being asked where it was so I took a bit of time, edited the show and now everyone can be happy! Its been a fun year for the podcast. We've made a lot of friends, met in person, went to PAX East and just played a ton of games together which is the most important part of it all!

Customer Reviews
Pew..Pew..Pew...
I have been shot down by this great P cast. These mo fos talk some good shizzit!
Love the intro Music!
One of our Co-Host(tee-tocks) recoomended I listen to this show, and I have been hooked since the intro music came on. These guys are just really funny. They honestly say how they feel, and the keeps the show fresh every week. I love the fact that they are Squaresoft lovers and if I need any RPG news, I know where to find it.
You crit my heart...
The podcast is great for many reasons. Whether you like video game music, video games, video game discussion, video game stuff...or just want to pass the time: seriously give these guys a listen. With a great cross-pollination of personalities, the dullness is kept to a minimum. You never know what a zinger is coming, and that alone rules. Recommend giving these guys a listen.
