THIS EPISODE’S MUSIC
“Chasing Satellites” and “Nerd Rock” by Nathan Meunier, from his new album “Robots. Lasers. Awesome.” Download it here: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/nathanmeunier














Is it wrong to say Pathos before playing the other two? Damn. I need more of those dark, strange, story games. Not my answer yet, btw.
Oh, so nice of you to mention corpse craft. Came up with that relationship all by yourself did you?
Also, thanks for putting the voting form on the right there.
Also… 3 videos a week?! What did you do to free up your schedule. I don’t see any corporate funding of Bytejacker all over. How you going to do that? I can’t wait.
Ha! When I saw you hunting for the name I was like “Oh, man, Joe is totally on the ball here.”
Ads will return. But not every episode, and there will only be one, shorter ad per video. I think it’ll be a much better fit for the show.
Oh yeah, looking for it on twitter. So why didn’t you give send me the name? I just about made the video comment I did with “That one game, with the zombies, you know… someone help me out here.” I found the name just by dumb luck.
Thing is that little episode and others like it put me in the existential mood where I contemplate the shear volume of games that I play these days. When I was a kid I’d play one game to the end, then play it again and again because it was all I had, all I could afford. Heck, I mastered Tooth Invaders on the commodore 64, the only game to have the ADA seal of approval. MASTERED.
Now I got to Armor games and go “sigh, no new games today.” It’s so bad that even a really great game changing game I can’t remember the name of because I was on to something else a few minutes later. I suppose I shouldn’t say “bad” because it’s neither good nor bad. Just what it is right now.
Best news EVAH!
I registered just to tell you the increased show time is awesome news Anthony.
I’ve really missed the weekly shows. Through the Rev3 links I found Destructoid which has become a regular staple, but more Bytejacker was a major missing piece in my week!
Looking forward to the extra videos!!
<3 the Dtoid guys so much. They're amazing.
Yeah, this'll be good. It's probably going to start slowly, but we'll be building up to covering a much broader scope of content and in a lot of new, interesting ways.
It’s awesome to see you out of the studio! I like the postapocalyptic, rustpunk, industrial wasteland you’ve found to film in.
You would. You like things creepy. You’re like ‘all creepy, all the time.’
AAAAAAWWWWW YEEEEAAAAAAHHHHH
And I thought the ‘big’ announcement was shutting down the show. I approve of this news, despite being worried how you’ll cope from doubling the content, and looking like without no corporate sponsorship. But you’re outside of the studio! In some kind of rubbish dump? You’re outside of the studio!
Awesome news is awesome!
And ..also hold your horses in..Europe? YES PEOPLE IN EUROPE ARE ALSO WATCHING THIS (don’t know how many though). It’s not always only America.
QUESTIION FROM THE FLOOR! YEAH, DOWN HERE! TRY NOT TO STEP ON ME OKAY?
So, is there any chance these might be added to itunes as well?
Yep. Once we lock down the format, we’ll be back on all the regular subscription feeds.
Great to hear! I was getting a little worried when itunes didn’t update. But this is good news!
[...] Hey! LISTEN! Did you know there’s a Free Indie Rapid Fire happening RIGHT NOW? Check it out: http://www.bytejacker.com/video/free-indie-rapid-fire-03172011 [...]
The “Add video comment” doesn’t want to use my camera. It only wants to use my google camera setup. I think I’m having an issue. Hopefully I can get a comment in this week.

Ps, hated Nina.
Play
FIRF:
Antimatiere – unfinished ending and tainted play experience. Why wasn’t this game given a download.
Pathos – Don’t try to make me feel bad for doing something when I’m given no choice.
Nina, Have Faith – Eversion ( http://zarat.us/tra/offline-games/eversion.html ) did the multi-layered thing better, but Nina made me feel like a foreigner in a land where I barely understand what’s being said around me, and I liked that because it heralds back to one of the best times of my life. So Nina, Have Faith gets my vote.
