2600's busy making videos and crap for your viewing enjoyment, so tonight I go back to my duties as occasional backup artist. Of course, due to my lack of actual artistic talent, that meant it was time for another hastily cobbled together hack job.
The idea for this one has actually been kicking around in the backlog as well for quite a while, in various forms, after Captain Treacherous and I brainstormed up some quick comics on various topics. This was one of the more polished ideas we had in there, but as I was putting it together I saw it was lacking something - as I was calling around frantically to the rest of the staff it became clear that the Captain and I wanted to take the last line in different directions.
That being said, it was Nick who came closest to what I finally went with.
The Return of The Coldguy Blog!

Hey folks, well we're back from Pennsylvania and it was another awesome Too Many Games. Big thanks to Chuck and everybody that helped make it great. While nobody got a t-shirt or even wanted to try out the Star Fox Super Weekend pack, we still had fun.
I'm going to have a huge review of it on Friday and 2600 should have a video ready on Friday as well. But for tonight we have two things for you. A video from FunSpot and the triumphant return of The Coldguy Blog!
Coldguy's Latest Blog is up, we're also going to add a spot on the boards so everybody can discuss his rants so they won't spill out on the rest of the forums.
The other thing we have for you is a video of a game from FunSpot. The one thing that drew me to the game was the name and the cabinet art. That game is Cheeky Mouse. Cheeky Mouse is pretty much a color version of the Game and Watch game, Vermin. It was made by Universal (The same company that made Mr.Do!) and I'm still shocked that they let the game go through with the artwork of the girl..
Cheeky Mouse!
Well, that's it for tonight. I was out watching the Yankees loose last night so I haven't played Earthbound since Saturday so I'm going to get back to that and try to finish the game by the end of the week.

Hey everybody! Nick back once again with this week's comic, and this time it's a very personal story. You see, I got addicted to Final Fantasy XI for a year. My friends got it and I joined in. I had fun, then I was seduced by the spandex lure of City of Heroes.
When I played XI I was a Taru Taru, I loved the idea of being the Black Mage and all of the other magic characters so I took the one with most magic power. While I was playing I teamed up with a lot of GREAT Bard players and fell in love with the class. I loved how they could take out a harp or flute and play a song that gave the team awesome power ups...FOR FREE!
So I decided to take the quest to become a Bard myself, the quest was a lot of fun, but trying to find a low level team when you don't know many of the good songs was pretty hard. Today's comic is about one such day I was out trying to find a team and this guy had no idea what a Bard was or how good they are on a team.
So this comic goes out to all my fellow Bards, if your in FFIX or any other game, keep on rockin' baby! Music IS the Weapon!
Don't forget we'll be attending Too Many Games this Sunday! So be sure to check out our table were we'll have my Star Fox Super Weekend game set up and we'll have T-Shirts for sale too!
Comic this weekend, Too Many Games this Sunday

Hey folks, Nick here. Just wanted to let you guys and gals know the comic is going to be late this week. 2600 is out tonight at a charity benefit with director David Lynch so the comic should be up this weekend or if not we'll have it for you on Wednesday.
Just to say yet again, we will be attending Too Many Games this Sunday in Pennsylvania. It's pretty much a gigantic swap meet of classic gamers for one day only. So try to check it out, it's worth the visit.
I'll have pictures of the event on Wednesday and some new videos will be coming soon as well, so keep your eyes peeled!
Too Many Games! This Sunday!

Hey folks, just want to let you all that the Press Start Crew will be in the magical lands of Pennsylvania at Too Many Games on Sunday. I'll be bringing my Star Fox Super Weekend cart I got from Nintendo Power years ago and will be holding a mini tournament. We'll also be selling the new Press Start T-Shirts we got printed up, so show some support and grab one while supplies last!
Last Friday we went to Jersey for an afternoon at 8 on The Break. We play a lot of pinball, including, Spider-Man, Pirates of the Caribbean and the new Wheel of Fortune. We were also greeted by panhandlers and a bum sleeping on the floor next to the Mrs. Pac-Man machine too...
After our trip there, we ended the night over at Richie Knucklez Arcade Games for his "Flashback Friday Night" event that he does over at his store. This place was awesome. We'll have some video footage of the place soon, but for now I got a video of Rich playing one of the two games NOT for sale, 720 on video.
720 at Richie Knucklez!
Well that's it for tonight, time for some Ghost Hunters, South Park and of course more Earthbound! Be sure to check out the guys over on Conami Kode tomorrow night! Check out the forum and find out how to listen to their show! It's always a great time!
