Big thanks to Adam & Nick from MagFest.org for coming on the show!
Another HUGE thank you goes out to Larry "Liontamer" Oji from OCRemix.org for also coming on the show to discuss the 10th Anniversary of Overclocked Remix!

Now down to bracket business:
Last Night we went through Zelda 64 vs Parappa, Sonic Jam vs StarFox 64, and Doom 64 vs Final Fantasy Tactics.
When Doom & Final Fantasy Tactics squared off, we were nearing the 3 hour mark.
A decision was made to PAUSE the tournament at this point. Here is where we stand:
Doom 64 = 4 votes
Tactics = 1 vote
