What up playas?! This week for your listening enjoyment we answer listener email, and then settle into a nice conversation about Twisted Pixel's crazy new downloadable title Comic Jumper. And because TP and Shotgun love you so much, we've decided to give you a chance to WIN Comic Jumper for free! Just listen to the show for details. Jim also gives us his impression of Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock, and we give you an angry yet definitive rant about what constitutes "rock". Finally we have a rousing conversation about this weeks Evil Epilogue question about whether Valve implementing micro transactions into Team Fortress 2 is a bad precedent for PC gaming. All this, and your weekly releases on this weeks Shotgun!

Oh yeah, and Pwnophobia beat the hell out of someone this weekend (http://www.youtube.com/pwnophobia)!

Games Discussed: Comic Jumper, Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock, Out of this World, Iji, Front Mission Evolved

That's all you liked? ;)

FF: 4 Heroes of Light is turn-based. It's a reboot of FF1. Magic and Attacking requires action points. There aren't MP.

Also, Adam: Mechwarrior was/is supposed to be rebooted (There was a trailer released) by Smith & Tinker studios (former FASA developers ie. Mech 3/4, Crimson Skies, SOCOM) paid for a license to use the IP for video games (Microsoft still owns vg rights IIRC, WizKids owns the rest). Piranha Games was/is slated to co-develop it. Not much has been heard since the Macross/Robotech fellows reopened the copyright infringement can o' worms in a lawsuit against S&T. I hope they can settle for stripping out the offending mechs in the new on, although there are some pretty badass designs.

Battledrome from Dynamix was what sparked my interest in Mecha. Not Anime, not Mechwarrior, not Shogo, but an arena-robot combat game. One Must Fall might have helped.

One Must Fall was also incredible. I forgot to toss that into my Mechwarrior/Virtua Onz/T-Mek diatribe about giant robots shooting one another.
