This is really cool. Good job! This Liberation Maiden game sounds pretty good, too.

Ha, yeah Liberation Maiden is a blast. I'd really like to see a full version of it the future.

Keep up the good work Tizona, and it's good to see you back on the Chartz as well. ^_^

It's great to see some game discussion and creativity on here, so keep on rocking. :D

Glad to back Smeags! I'll try and contribute more....for at least a week or two until WiiU comes out. After that I may be distracted. HA!

FINALLY. Now, I can check it out.

Just for you my friend! Let me know what you think!

You guys sound very professional and knowledgeable.  It was a little longer than I expected but I just put it int he background while I did other things.
All in all, much better than I ever expected.  It could use a guy for "color commentary" (aka a jokester) but that's just me and my need for humor every 17 seconds.  That would probably get old.  Either way, I enjoyed it.  Looking forward to the next one and I may actually go back for some of the older episodes.

Awesome! Thanks for the words! We have been trying to get it a little tighter and faster paced (aka shorter) but it's hard when we have so much fun doing it! Maybe I'll just add a clown horn honking every 17 seconds to keep you going. Ha ha! Glad you liked it.
