09-23-09 Show Notes: 8bit Extravaganza
Hour 1:
Big shoutout to our special guests & newest addition to the 8bitX Radio Network Average Joe Gamer!

Also tremendous thanks goes out to Danny Danger for his guest picks of the week out of the new releases!
Danny's Pick of the Week: Halo: ODST
Danny's Weak pick of the Week: Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2

Our Pick of the Week: Zombie Apocalype
Our Weak Pick of the Week: Where's Waldo: Fantastic Voyage

Topic: Bosses & Enemies V
Minisite: http://www.8bitx.com/bosses/

We covered Mario 2 in this hour with 90% of the music from OC Remix's Mario 2 selection.

Hour 2:
We kicked it off with Steel Sterling spinoff comic reading, which contained one of the most gruesome visual depictions of violence I've ever seen... it was amazing!!

Creepy Craigslist came in from there, with a special list from IGN which creeped us out from Japan!!

Then we blew through Kung Fu's horde of enemies & bosses, and came into Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!

We looked at the time and knew that we could finish the game's opponents in this time, but to give it proper credit and do the game justice we decided to take our time...

Bonus Coverage:
All kinds of fun stuff happening after the bell!!
We had the debut of a new segment, though of by the 8bit wife, "The worst of the Web". This would be the songs that didn't make it onto the show, and the worst one gets the instant-fail Price is Right button treatment!
This week was a myspace contestant who screamed "Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!" over and over again in what is simply the worst song I've heard in a long, long time. Probably ever. You have to hear the podcast for the reaction.

Music was provided by many new bands found via myspace and also the usual suspects with the OC Remix, Minibosses, Neskimos, and the Dwelling of Duels. We ended the whole night with Duane & Brando's Mike Tyson's Punch Out via youtube!

Thanks to all those listening live and joining us in the chatroom.
Goodnight!

8bit Extravaganza Preview: History of Beat Em Ups
[UPDATE]
Ha! Renegade has fallen! Monday night I have conquered the obsession that was Renegade's hold over me. It all ended with a fist to the face of Sabu, who weilds a GUN and just shoots you. 1 hit and your are dead! I hope to have screens for you soon...

Renegade was not without gamer-rage though, as a classic controller throwing moment happened in the maze-like Mission 4.

Update on this line:
I must destroy Kim, who knows, she could be the leader of a huge crime syndicate who kidnaps small children for ransom to pay for her numerous operations to become Abobo in Double Dragon. According to this walkthrough, "She's the long lost sister of Abobo from the 'Double Dragon' series. " -HA! and a note I did NOT use the walkthrough during my quest, I almost did but could not live with myself if I used the walkthrough.

HI Score: 390,000+ (game doesn't store it after you win)


[Renegade captures the feeling of a street fight perfectly]
This week on The 8bit Extravaganza we will be going over the History of the Beat Em Ups!
Check out the research that we've been doing:

[Classic]
And since Renegade is one of the most under rated games ever, I will be attempting to beat this game by the time the show airs, during Justin's Radio Free Gamer!

[Check out the 8bitx twitter for updates on the progress of the Renegade quest]
Last Time on Renegade:
I found a staircase that led to a huge woman/man that just keeps kicking my ass named Kim. She is a beast, and the toughest battle yet. You can skip her but I feel like that is just avoiding the fight, and no true master of Renegade can look themselves in the eye and say they have defeated Renegade and the whole time there is a room with a Boss there without their head kicked in. I must destroy Kim, who knows, she could be the leader of a huge crime syndicate who kidnaps small children for ransom to pay for her numerous operations to become Abobo in Double Dragon.

I cannot let this happen.
