[WOAH: FORMAT CHANGE! Episodes appeared on Thursday AND Mondays now, and they gave the viewers a chance to vote for the pick of the week. Thus it was born. For 014 only, they started with a review on Monday and gave you 3 indies without telling you anything about them and after the vote on Thursday, they would reveal the places they scored at and give a more in-depth look at each of them. This was quickly scrapped and changed to the free indies on Monday and a review on a game and the results on Thursday.]

Thanks again!

Thanks! It's good to see it stickyed and retweeted for all my hard work as well. Thanks again.

In other news, I CANNOT find the edit button. It must be around here somewhere... :(

EDIT: Here it is! Must only appear on recent posts, unfortunately.

EDIT 2: Sorry, that big edit button is taunting me so bad. Any moderator status's you could push me up to, so I can edit any of my posts or not?

Hey, guys, just so you know -

We now keep an organized and sortable list of all the games that have ever been on the show here:

http://www.bytejacker.com/games

So you can head there for up-to-date game info.

mopsical
04-20-2010, 10:36 PM
Wait, something's going on here again?

Whatever, I suppose this is a cool list but it has ultimately failed; due to a lack of communication or something. The new list obviously has had a lot of work on it and it is awesome, so you probably should check that out instead. http://www.bytejacker.com/games

Just kill this one, guys. Go on without me.
