Lamecasts have returned after a two week break of holidays, E3s, and alien abductions. This week the crew presents oddly upbeat rants and fights to the death in order to determine which Mega Man is factually the best in the series.

Lamecast #8 – The clay pot the meat is cooked in must be broken
In this, the eighth videolamer.com lamecast, Christian discovers the unit of measurement for an R-Type (hint: it’s not a shit-ton), Alexis longs for an American port of Scribblenauts with a zombie patch, Casey makes sweet sweet love to Rolando 2 news and Don… Don doesn’t make any sense.
Lamecast #7 – Wherever you live, you must eat unleavened bread
In this special edition lamecast Christian, Don & Casey discuss the 3DR DNF WTF OMFG BBQ situation. There are tears in here, so if that kind of stuff makes you uncomfortable maybe you should listen to something else.
Lamecast #6 – They covered all the ground until it was black
In this, our sixth lamecast, Alexis wants to be a fat princess but doesn’t want to do it online, Casey rediscovers his tits, Don has difficulty with the day/night cycle and Christian agrees. YES!
Lamecast #5 – Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce, and their wrath, for it is cruel
This edition of the lamecast is all about online, which we assume you have in some capacity. MMOs and online stores bring insight, fierce debate, and lost wages (pay close attention for the secret Commodore 64 section) .
Lamecast #4 – And he will be as a wild ass among men
In this, the fourth of our lamecasts, Christian has a bit of fun with Killzone 2, Don takes issue with George Broussard and Jeremy Parish, Alexis discusses the finer points of perspective in games and Casey gets Sonic’d.
Also – ZOMBIES!
Lamecast #3 – When the dove returned to him in the evening, there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf
In this third edition of the lamecast, our hosts share rants, discuss iPhone games, voice OnLive skepticism and debate the merits of the Dreamcast controller.
The correct answer to last lamecast’s “Win all of Don’s games” contest was “chartreuse.”
Lamecast #2 – They were the heroes of old, men of renown
In this second edition of the lamecast, our hosts put Capcom’s two biggest franchises over the coals and EVE Online gets a new patch. In the thrilling conclusion, a discussion on in-game advertising erupts into violence when the importance of being told to buy Old Spice while playing Quake Live is questioned.
Lamecast #1 – Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array
In this, the premier Lamecast, Christian and Don discuss Quake Live, Fallout 3, Resident Evil 5 and the importance of keeping the Sabbath.
Remember – not only is this happening live but it works two way and they can hear you. Please be respectful by not speaking or making any loud noises.
A survey of 2007s role playing games
Last year was a fairly interesting one for RPG fans. Some of the biggest names in the genre finished their PS2 swan songs long ago, and went off in search of new platforms. This left 2007 as a year for new ideas and lesser known series to take root and grab the hearts and money of fans. 2007 may not have had a big new Final Fantasy, but perhaps that is a good thing, as it allowed these other games to stand out, rough edges and all. While it comes a bit late, the following is an assessment of some of 2007’s biggest RPGs from both Chris (vl’s resident RPG expert) and Christian (who continues to look for the genre’s masterpiece). We also included FF12 in the mix. It may be a bit old to us modern folk living in 2008, but it is such a major departure from Square’s usual offerings that it deserves a bit more discussion on the site. → 50 Cent: Readproof
