Powetcast 147: Feet Don't Fail Me Now

We're long overdue, but that is what you get with a holiday break. This episode was recorded a few weeks ago but I assure you the title and image header would've made no more or less sense then. We'll talk Safety Not Guaranteed, Mega Man X Street Fighter, Spider-Man 700 and more. Its a surprisingly fun show to listen to. Panel is Captain Genius, Adam, Will and myself.

powetcast 145 late and incomplete

Better late than never? A few days before the American Thanksgiving holiday we recorded a podcast talking about the Wii U and shared some Thanksgiving and Black Friday stories. Unfortunatly due to some kind of recording error (likely I forgot to hit a button to save) we lost the second half of the show. All that survives really is most of the Wii U stuff. Sorry! We will try harder next time, I promise. http://powet.tv/powetblog/?p=28981...

Our semi-annual roundtable debate series continues!
