If you’re a Capcom fan, you’ll want to put down your joystick and turn up the volume for this one! Jim Zubkavich, Project Manager at UDON Entertainment, visits the show this week, and he’s no wet noodle. He tells the guys about the recently released Tatsunoko vs. Capcom endings, creating stories for beloved Street Fighters, HD Remix sprite work, lush art books and much more. After the interview, stay tuned for a Mass Effect Hyper Combo Finish. If you’re a little fuzzy on Commander Shepard’s first adventure, Tom, Nick and Kaz will get you up to speed. Justin and Tony also provide some gravity-defying VVVVVV love. Plus, RPG taxonomy (oh boy!) and heaping bowls of breakfast cereal!

This podcast is a celebration of the social aspects of gaming. We were “smash brothers” long before we became the ‘Pack, and we continue to game with each other on a regular basis. If you look beyond all of the media sensationalism and message board wankery, you’ll discover that video games can help form bonds that will last forever. We’re living proof of that – we’re not jaded journalists (not yet, at least), we’re not tournament players and we’re certainly not fanboys. We’re just folks who love to play and discuss games with each other, and we hope to extend this friendship to our listeners with every installment. 
In regards to the Street Fighter/Rival Schools/Final Fight continuity, add Mega Man to that list: http://www.siliconera.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/chunlimm9-thumb.jpg
CANON!
I love hearing your segment on the Gamehounds humpdate but I’m on the Zune marketplace and I can’t find you guys there, nor can I really figure out how to download the shows. It just takes me to the player. I would quite enjoy listening to you guys if you can put it up on the Zune marketplace! Thanks
