Episode 8: What Exactly is a Gradius? [Gradius]


Disclamer
***
First off, we apologize for the poor audio quality on this episode, especially on Tyler’s end.  We have a new audio setup, and he was turned down a bit further than he should have been, while Geremy was up a bit higher.  This should be fixed for the next episode.
 ***

Our zany adventures continue as we fight our way through hordes of wacky moai misfits and belligerent bionic battle suits in the arcade classic, Gradius!  This game has a record for being incredibly difficult, a testament to the adopted slogan "Nintendo Hard."  For the sake of this, we'll ignore that Gradius is on every system ever.  Listen in as we test out some new audio equipment and find out whether this game withstood the test of time.

  2. Yeah, the mic was a little... wobbly. Maybe also wibbly. At any rate, we're procuring mic stands and pop filters soon.

    Galaga is fun, but I find that I get bored of it quickly unless I'm in a particular mood.
