I know, we said it would be The Thing! And it will be! Next time! We felt that it would be best to give people more time to acquire the game to play along, given that it isn’t an easy title to find at this point. In the meantime, we have Crimson Skies for the original Xbox, which came out of nowhere to grab our interest as a selection for Game Club.
Yeah, sorry everyone, but the swine flu has really kicked my ass this week and I don’t think we’ll be able to record a “real” episode of the show until this coming week. I’d like to have certain people over for a show right now, but I can’t in good conscience ask them to come over and get plagued with what I got. So we’ll be officially re-starting the standard Game Club on Tuesday, RFM on Thursday schedule next week. For RFM, since we won’t have a main topic, I highly encourage all of you to write in to letters@eat-sleep-game.com, because we’re going to do an extended letters segment (more of a letters clearinghouse, really. -ed) hopefully with a special guest.

In case you missed it on our last podcast (and shame on you if you did!), our new Game Club selection is Star Wars: Republic Commando. Just recently re-released on Steam and backwards compatible on the Xbox 360, Republic Commando puts you in the armor of the Clone Army of the Galactic Republic’s most elite unit, the Commando. As part of Delta Squad, you’ll take part in events spanning from the end of Star Wars Episode II through to the beginning of Episode III, starting with the battle of Geonosis. You’ll want to play through the Geonosis campaign for our first episode, which we’ll be recording tonight. Apologies for the delayed post, which won’t happen again. May the penis be with you!
PS. There are some graphical issues with the PC version of Republic Commando; if you have questions or solutions, post them here. Currently, the fix for most people that have problems running the game starts with setting bump-mapping to “low” in the graphics settings.
Sad faces all around. As our good friend and man-crush Matt Chandronait has come down with the Area 5 death plague, we’re going to be postponing episode 3 until next week. Sorry for the late notice, but, well, a week long break at least once during Game Club is sort of tradition at this point.
We’ll be recording the first episode Monday afternoon for a Tuesday morning release! So, get your comments in for the first section here if you want them read on the show.
After a day of quite a lot of voting (over 1200 people in about 24 hours), you listeners have spoken, choosing Hitman: Blood Money as our next Game Club selection (if you chose Heavenly Sword, don’t worry; we still want to play it, and it very well might be our pick in the near future). For the first episode, you’ll want to play through Mission 3, Flatline (it’s the rehab clinic). I’ll update this post once we huddle together and decide when we’ll be recording our first episode, but in the meantime, I thought I’d give you all a little input as to why we chose it in the first place.
Hello all! So as you may have noticed from Matt’s twitter, we have in fact recorded our end of the final episode of our Game Club for Gun. Unfortunately though, events conspired to delay my interview with peeps at Neversoft with your question until this Thursday, so the episode (with interview included) will be up Friday. In the meantime, we’re still recording Rebel FM tomorrow for a Thursday release. Sorry for the delay, but I hope that it will be worth it for you guys. In the meantime, if you didn’t submit a question for the folks at Neversoft about Gun and still would like to, by all means, post it here by Thursday at noon for consideration, and hopefully I can get it answered. Now, if you’ll excuse me, inFamous is calling my name…
