For the past few weeks now I’ve been co-hosting on the Noobtoob community podcast, myself and Shane (Gameshark) have been inviting guest speakers on and I’ve really been enjoying it. The past few days I’ve been working on getting the feed sorted out and today I finally got around to submitting it to iTunes, hurrah!

Next episode is due out at the weekend, until then here’s the last ep.

Recently my new graphics card has been playing up a little bit when it boots up into windows, I’m pretty sure it’s just a driver problem but I really hate it when crap like this starts to happen with some of the newer gfx cards on the market, i suppose that is the price you pay for new technology.

Other than that small hitch I am really loving my new computer it’s been really fantastic whilst I have been making and editing some new youtube videos and has made me want to be a bit more creative where as in the past I might of not wanted to because it would be too much effort.

This week I joined in NoobToob’s Community Podcast to cover Sloth and even edited it together, and it really was nice to go through that process and join in on some discussion, I have really quite embraced being part of the forums over there recently as it’s good gaming with fellow gamers that are passionate about games. I’ve added an audio link to the podcast below.

Other than that I really have been in a bit of a gaming funk, pretty much playing bits and pieces here and there but not really settling on any one game, I think mainly because of my anticipation of GTA4 next week. I know I’m going to be playing that a hell of a lot, and have been trying to stay away from as many spoilers as possible.

But one thing I did try this week was the new Mario Kart on the Wii and I must say it really surprised me how true to the franchise it remained and how the Wii remote and Racing wheel was so easy to use, I didn’t need any time at all to get used to it, within my first race I was already firing off red shells and doing stunts over the jumps for extra speed bursts. That kind of intuitiveness in games really makes me happy. I really should save up for a Wii sometime.
