If Guilty Gear X2 had Jazz Music, would you have played it?  The Midwest Marvels discuss the Top Five Music-Driven Games in existence.  ...and yes, the Metal Gear Solid series is in there.  Also, news about the upcoming CPNK XX, the forums, and why Billy Idol poses a grave threat to Cyberpunks Gaming.

FROM THE DESK OF SIMON D.I.

So as you all remember, a few months ago I erased/shut down/destroyed our forums, as I was absolutely disgusted at SEVERAL forums, pricks on XBOX LIVE and the internet in general.  Also, I didn't really see a point to forums, as the Podcast itself IS a forum for us and fellow Cyberpunks to communicate on.

However, I have received no less than two dozen emails asking me to bring the Cyberpunks Forum back.  I stand firm in my decision to have nothing to do with forums, as they are nothing more than a breeding ground for terrible grammar, bad attitudes, trash talking, racism, sexism, homophobia, ignorance and plain-old dumbassery.

So anyways, Mike and I will discuss this on CPNK XIX some more, but if you are dying to have a Cyberpunks Forum to post on, let email me at cyberpunksgaming@yahoo.com or just let me know here in the comments section!

See you folks Saturday morning!  Until then, Stay Hi-Tech and Lo-Life!

This week, the Midwest Marvels, Simon D.I. and Mike D.I. discuss what Comic Series' need to become video games.  Comics listed are the Secret Wars, Marvel Zombies vs Army of Darkness, Simpsons and Futurama, Marvel/DC Amalgam and Spiderman 2099.  Also, why MGS4 is CYBERPUNK AS HELL!

What's up, Punks?  I just wanted to throw a few quick things out there since it's only Tuesday, and I figure I'd give all the Cyberpunks a few things to do until CPNK XVIII.

First of all, here are a few sites to check out a.s.a.p.  These are all close friends of mine, and they do a great job running their respective businesses/companies/podcasts.
www.twenzor.org
www.chasingculture.com (I forgot to mention this on XVII.  Sorry, Chase)
www.streettech.com
www.cyberpunkreview.com
www.gamehounds.net
www.cheapassgamer.com

Also, just as a reminder, make sure to check me out on the UAV JAMMERS Podcast @ www.twenzor.org, and on the weekly Gamehounds Humpdate Podcast @ www.gamehounds.net!

So, I don't know whether or not to be morally conflicted with this, but here goes;  If you leave us an iTunes review, your name will be entered into a contest to win a Cyberpunk As Hell prize. 

And finally, in the comments for this post, if you would like to be a part of this week's OVERDRIVE segment, just post your "Most Embarrassing Video Game-Related Experience."  Mike D.I. and I will do ours, and then we'll mention fellow Cyberpunk stories.

You can also email us at any time at cyberpunksgaming@yahoo.com

O.k., Punks, until Friday morning,
Stay Hi-Tech and Lo-Life

The recent Midwest storms passed right through the D.I.s residence...taking their internet, their porn and their livelihood.  Thankfully, all is well tonight, as the Hi-Tech Lo-Lives discuss FIVE CROSSOVER FIGHTING GAMES THAT WILL NEVER, EVER, EVER HAPPEN, who, what, where or when "Tatsunoku" is, and why the Iron Maiden show on Wednesday was CYBERPUNK AS HELL.  Another CPNK Award is also issued!

The Cyberpunks land a HUGE interview with an influential Gaming Industry Icon.  Simon and Mike D.I. present the questions that fellow gamers have been waiting to ask!

NOW WORKING ON iTUNES.  Mike D.I. hooked up his Ps2, ran some emulators, and got the best footage from the best Castlevania games, compiled them, and brought this beautiful retrospective into the greatest video game series of all time.

Enjoy.

WOW.  We debut RAD (Random Ass Discovery) in which Mike helps you discover something you probably didn't know about!  The first CPNK AWARD is given to www.streettech.com.  We discuss the FIVE GAMES YOU'VE NEVER PLAYED.  Also, Danielle from Episode XI returns for a guest appearance.

Intro song is "R.S.V.P." by the legendary "Pop Will Eat Itself."  (and the Ps1 game "Loaded."

What's up, Punks?  As you know, I'm a huge fan of shouting out Podcasts and just Websites in general that I love visiting!  So because of this, I've decided to create the official CPNK AWARDS!

Every week, Mike D.I. and I will award one of these beautiful Trophies (ah...well, a jpeg of a beautiful Trophy) to a Website that we f'n love!

We will, of course, add the URL to the nameplate so that the website can display their proudest accomplishment on their front page.

If you have a website or KNOW a website that you think should be nominated for a CPNK AWARD, just post a comment, send an email (cyberpunksgaming@yahoo.com) or catch me on XBOX LIVE (Simon D I)!

Stay Hi-Tech and Lo-Life!
