Damn that was fast.

No editing, really. We did a straight shoot.

Great show so far, I'm about 25% of the way through.

On the Boktai series games (the ones with the solar sensors), there were three GBA games that all used the solar sensors and built in clock--Boktai: The Sun is in Your Hands and Boktai 2: Solar Boy Django were released in the US while Boktai 3: Sabata's Counterattack was a Japan only release. All three games were for GBA.

What started out as the fourth game in the series (and the first one for DS) ended up getting scrapped and a new IP was layered over what had already been done before it ended up getting released as a completely different game. That game ended up being Lunar Knights.

It's been said they changed the IP due to the lack of solar sensor on the DS cart, so who knows, Shane's idea about the cameras being used as light sensors could actually become a reality for a future series installment.

The original Boktai: The Sun is in Your Hands is a fun GBA game, btw--highly recommended for GBA fans. The solar stuff doesn't work in emulation though, so you'll need to get your hands on a cart if you want to play hehe.

Man, why did I keep thinking Boktai was a GB title...I mean I knew there were GBA sequels. Damn that isn't like me, I should have known that.

I for some reason thought the first was a GB Color game with the sensor and the GBA one came later. I guess I'm just not as familiar with the series enough.

I actually played a lot of Lunar Knights. They basically took the day and night cycle and incorporated it into the game without a sensor, kind of ruined the point me thinks? heh.

I have both Boktai 1 and 2 carts. Actually still haven't played 2, never enough time

.

Started playing 1 and had alot of fun with it.
I thought having the solar sensors and having to be actually in the sun was a great concept. My only problem is, I found out I don't like playing out in the sun much.

Every once in a while though, I grab the cart and play a little more. One of these days i'll actually finish it.

Syncing it to my Zune now. I can't wait to listen to it! Also are you planing to do a 2008 game awards? Hope so, maybe I missed it? If not I'm looking forward to it!

Whoa... Another show... The Apocalypse is coming! Anyways I am downloading now. I had wanted to hear Chris's thoughts on the DSi but then I got one. Interesting anyway :P.

Very entertaining show, guys. Lots of fun with the AC apps

.

BTW, Shane, you can't directly convert from volume of a fluid (gallons) to weight. You need to know the density of the fluid. For instance, water is 8.43 pounds per gallon (231 cubic inches). Oil will be less, which is why it floats on top of water--it's less dense.

If you want to be really picky, the density is dependent on temperature as well.

/know-it-all rant

:b

EDIT: Holy crap do you guys to sh!tty Aussie accents!!
