If nobody has any games at the given times, we will use substitute games, so don't worry if you don't have these.  I know most of the games are played on Xbox 360, and that's mainly because that's what we mostly have.  We are also trying to stay away from the PC because I want to record everything and doing so on the PC takes a lot of storage.  We look forward to seeing you all there!

=(

I can't find the Maw, and of course, SOMEONE won't answer his phone. The one time I decide to play, SOMEONE has to hide it.

So, I stole SOMEONE'S Pringles. In yo' face.

Someone give Stephen a hard time on the stream tonight, for me. =)

-Becky

It's About Damn Time

This is what podcast 36 looks like while it is rendering.  It was a nightmare to do for several reasons which I will discuss on episode 37.

Editing...

It's going to take a really long time to get the whole podcast up and ready for listening to due my crappy full time job, being really sick, and the fact that I have over 5 hours of my own audio and 4 other audio lines to sync it up with.  You can look forward to hearing it sometime early Monday, or Sunday night if I can get this done reasonably fast.

Thanks to everyone who showed up or contributed in any way to the show. 

-Brian

Epic Podcast recap.

After an argument, at least an hour total of laughing, songs from Jamie, and some game reviews, we're finally done!

Oh, and let's not forget the "going back" moment, when we relived when Brian and Stephen met last year, and had a baby called Armageddongaming. =)

We had some awesome interviews with Sam, Ryan, Galming, Mike, Jake, and a debate between Logan and Harlan.

Voicemails were the most the podcast has ever had....Even though most of them were from Jake, but that's okay.

There's a whole ton of stuff that happened, too, but you have to listen to the podcast to hear it. =)

Thanks to all you guys to coming to the stream, and contributing to the madness!

A New Challenger Appears

A second Maw showed up today...

The Maw Maquette was sent to me by Jamie (<3).  It also showed up with a card.  Here's the front...
... and here's the back...
Here's two Maws making out.
Thank you very much Jamie. You're the best!

I'm sitting at Stephen's desk, on his computer, playing AudioSurf, and wearing his headphones.


So, for those of you wondering why his AudioSurf points shot up, that was me. =)

Ignore the silly face. I've been working with preschoolers all week. =P

Regularly scheduled posts from me should resume soon. Probably starting tomorrow night with the Epic Marathon of Epicness. Make sure to leave voicemails! We also want your "best of" 2010 podcasts, along with your Top 5 games of 2010. The show starts at 7PM EST.

Also, Game night is cancelled this week. The boys can't handle too much fun in one weekend. =P

See you guys tomorrow night!!!!!

Podcast Voicemails

This Friday's live podcast is the 2010 blowout and I want more voicemails.  We've received 4 already, but I want more. I would like it if everyone who reads this would just pick up the phone and call (917) 740-5379 and say something for us to play in the show.  You know you want to get involved.

ZOMG MINECRAFT BETA!?!!?

Yes, you read right. Minecraft is officially moving into beta on December 20th, 2010! Now, if you know me at all, you probably know i'm as giddy as a school girl over this news. A ton of huge updates that will make me lose another huge chunk of my life is imminent. This may make our Minecraft machinima that we are trying to make easier to do, considering all the changes that they are adding, but it probably won't have too much of an effect on it. Count down the days! 8 to go!

Preparing for the marathon.

It's December already. Where did the year go? I remember games coming out in January. Well, it's been promised, and promises must be kept. The official Armageddon Gaming 26 Hour Live Stream Marathon is coming! For those of you who don't already know, this marathon will take place on December 29th, 2010, starting with the live podcast and continuing for 26 straight hours. There is a post over in the (new) forums where you can list games you would like to see.

Last marathon was at the end of the summer, and it was a 25 hour marathon. Leave it to me to want to push ahead for that extra hour, to make myself think it will be more epic. I had a blast on the 25 hour marathon, and i'm genuinely excited for the 26 hours. Keep in mind, I don't know how many hours past 26 this will go for the next one. I urge you to come to the live stream this day, stay as long as you can and interact! This could be playing games with me, interacting with the chat, or any other way!

I can't wait for this marathon, and to spend a lovely day and change with you guys, regretting my decision at the 22 hour mark or so! I met a lot of crazy good people last year doing this, and hope to do the same this year. Can't wait to see you all there, bring your game face!

New Forums!!!! (pt 2)

THE FORUMS ARE LIVE!!!!!!!

just go to www.armageddon-gaming.com and click on the forums link!

Sadly, y'all have to make new accounts, but I think you'll live. =)

-Becky

New Forums!!!!

Okay, okay, so they aren't up quite yet. Stephen's still working on it, and getting the kinks and stuff worked out. Keep your panties on, it's getting there.


I'm special, so I get the sneak peek. And they are sweeeeeeeet!
I'll post a link sometime in the next week.

About this week...

I'm going to apologize in advanced from the lack of blogging on my part. This is my final week of school before break, and it's going to be crazy. Like Brian rapping crazy. Once I get home on Friday night of next week, it's going to be me and the Maw. Until I die, or the controller goes out the window....or I beat the game.

But! I will come back with forum info during a study break....when I get the okay, that is. =)

Until then, stay tuned for updates from hopefully Brian -hinthint- and I'll catch up with you guys on Monday night.

-Becky =)

Yes, that is a mudkip in the banner this week!  Try to make it through this video, which I'm listening to in the background.  Warning: not for the faint of heart.

Starcraft 2?

So I've been trying to get good at Starcraft 2 again... guess how well thats going? Not very as you can imagine. I have about a 50% chance to win a game in the bronze league, which isn't hot. Maybe i'll get better, any tips can help but I kinda know the basics.

Also, super steam deals make me super poor. This weekend I bought/received Left 4 Dead 2, Kane & Lynch 2, Audio Surf, and Half Life 2 for PC. So if you have any of those, feel free to ask me to play!

Other than that, just site work like a mofo. Keeping the work to play ratio good, with a heavy lean towards work.

Also, we are thinking of making a Minecraft machinima series. Basically each episode is going to be 2-3 minutes or so, and revolve around the same main characters getting into different situations. If you want to submit your ideas for episodes, email me at stephenfrueh@armageddongaming.com!

Halo Reach

We played Halo Reach with some people last night and it was streamed live.  I've got the recordings, and will be uploading them shortly, but here's a quick rundown of things I learned.

1) Chezy Puf uses hacks.  He can head shot my from across the map with a pistol.  He hates me and does this often, especially during infection.
2) Infection sucks.
3)Galming can handle a warthog like he actually has one in real life.
4)Lightning is really good at Halo and is therefore a bad person.
5)Galming and Chezy Puf have been playing team doubles for years
6)Disturbed doesn't hate me like everyone else does.
7)Everyone is better at Halo than I am.

Thanks to those 4 guys for showing up, and we hope to have more next time!

"I just wanna use the Maw as a big teddy bear."

So, I came home late Wednesday to some awesome new plushies from Brian.
...I have never been so freaking excited in my life.

These things are amazing, and very well made.


This Walnut is mine. I had to be different. =)

This is how my Walnut got half-eaten....by the Maw!!!!


 Stephen got a Maw and an uneaten Walnut. Stephen also refused to take a picture with me. The title quote....came from him. So y'all know. =)

And this is Brian's own Laptop Defense League.

The Plants Vs. Zombies plushies come from arixystix.com and the Maw from http://www.mawgame.com/

Tonight was Community Game night! Reports from Fraggs says it was good. The next Community Game Night will be NEXT Saturday night!

About Last Night

So we recorded the podcast last night, and I wanted to take the time to apologize to anyone who may have been affected by anything I may have said before we ended.  Our goal is to keep it light and entertaining, and I failed to do that.  We will try again next week.

Podcast Wednesday!

Okay, okay, it's not here yet. I'm jumping the gun a bit, but I won't be able to remind y'all tomorrow in time so I can get myself home for the Podcast recording.
...or at least a part of it.

Anyhow, head on over to the Forums, and respond to what we're featuring on the podcast. We're looking for the worst moment you've ever played in a game. You know, like the time you had to jump across two cliffs in the last second of the game, and missed on your last life?

Okay, that hasn't happened to me (so you think), but you know what I mean.

Make sure to call and leave a voicemail!!!!!!!! =)

See you then!

-Sistah Fraggs

Behind the scenes at Armageddon Gaming...


...This is Mr. Fraggs on too much Mt. Dew. 
And you wonder what happens behind the scenes...

Game of the Year 2010!

So we are totally having a Game of the Year segment on our end of the year podcast spectacular, so we made a page where you can vote for your favorite games in each category! Make sure to check those out.

Aside from that, expect a few new reviews coming up, as I think Fallout: New Vegas is almost done so that will be a review. We want to start using this blog way more often, so keep checking back!

Shiney new blog! (Take Two)

Alright guys, keep with us here as we go through some changes. Including the URL. It's still the same Sistah Fraggs posting, so don't go getting your panties in a twist.

We're going to hopefully be posting a lot more, so bear with us.

So, things will be changing a bit, hopefully I can work on the layout (I ain't no Mr. Fraggs, lemme tell you) the best I can.

So, stick around!!!!! =)
