Headshot Radio Podjockies Writing Stuff...
August 22 ... What's Your Favorite Chad Soul Calibur Character?
Yeah, I've got too much time on my hands at times. But after I saw "THAT" face, I couldn't resist in making a ton of Chad Soul Calibur Characters. He's my Mokojin. So I thought I'd throw up these examples and have everyone vote on their favorite.

July 1 ... Put The Controller Down: The Dark Knight Heroes
We are now just over 2 weeks away from the opening of the Dark Knight, and I thought I would take the next two editions of this feature to get hyped up for in a non traditional way. If you have been on the internet at all over the past few weeks, you have likely already been inundated with reviews, previews, trailers, and calls for Heath Ledger to get an Oscar. So instead of more of that, here are some older flicks you may have missed that feature some of the great cast of Batman Begins.

June 11 ... Changing The Game (Arcade Stick Editorial)
There’s something that I’d forgotten about until just recently. I absolutely love fighting games, online competition, and that “arcade” feeling. On the show, it’s not exactly a secret that I’ve picked up a new arcade stick for my 360. After doing so, I immediately realized how much it changed all arcade-style games for it. Of course it’s not going to change your RPGs, your driving-sims, or your FPSs, but for some shooters and fighters, an arcade stick is just what the doctor ordered. Actually, it probably would change those games as well, just not for the better.

June 6 ... Say Hello To The New Hotness: MYTHOS
I attempted to write this preview several times now, and each time it gets shorter and less detailed. The reason for that is simple: the average person seems to have too short an attention span for a 10-page preview. The other reason is that the original preview was basically a Diablo III parody to show off the similarities between the games. Then someone told me that comparing Mythos to Diablo II is like comparing your new girlfriend to your ex, and no one wants to do that. I disagree...

May 30 ... Chad's Guide To Being A Sony Fanboy.
New to current-gen Sony platforms? If you happen to just be getting into the game so to speak with a Sony PSP or a PS3, there are a few games that are worth your attention, and your hard-earned money. Not only that, there are also some applications that you should be aware of on each system. Being a long-time owner of both platforms, I’ve found more than a few reasons to invest in each respective system.

May 13 ... The Mother Trilogy Explained (By Listener Chase)
After being mentioned in the last podcast, I thought it was time to write a guest article for everyone about largely forgotten or unknown series: the Mother trilogy (Also known as Earthbound outside of Japan). Since the only game available in English to the public right now is the SNES incarnation of the series, known widely as Earthbound, I’m going to do my best to leave spoilers out of that part of the article.

Apr 23 ... Eric's Wedding Interuption, Derek Singing Meatloaf, and The Stuff We Missed.
We here at Headshot Radio Productions (which includes the Michigan Sports Show) had to take a short hiatus to watch our fellow podjockie Eric get married. We all wish he and his wife Shawn all the best but will in no way temper the relentless onslaught of insults that we hurl his way.
Sorry Eric ...

Apr 12 ... 10 Songs For Your Next Rock Band Party
When you’re at a party ... perhaps enjoying some delicious “adult beverages” ... there may come a point when someone says; “So what do you all want to do?” At this point take your pineapple daiquiri from your lips and suggest ... how about we play Rock Band? I’m sure everyone will thank you for this amazing suggestion.

Apr 11 ... PUT THE CONTROLLER DOWN ... Weekly DVD picks with Derek.
Welcome to "Put the Controller Down", a brand new weekly feature here on Headshotradio.com. If there is anything I am more of a nerd for than video games, it is movies (and musical theater, but we won't talk about that here). I literally own hundreds of DVDs, and every Tuesday I rent or buy just about every new release. Even the chick flicks, because my wife likes them. Seriously.

Mar 28 ... Headshot Radio The Difference Between the Site and the Show
I decided to write this editorial for various reasons. First, we’ve had some comments on our blog and some mails to the show that have made me realize how very different our show and site are. I’m more or less writing this to clear things up for people who come to the site and see nothing like the show. Or vice-versa, people who have listened to the show come expecting the same attitude on the website and assume they had entered the wrong web-address.

Mar 17 ... Headshot Radio Top 50 Games of All Time 2008
It’s that time of year again ... or at least we’re planning on it. It’s time to reveal the Top 50 games of all time according to the Headshot Radio Podjockies. We did this for our second show, and I want to make this a yearly thing from this point on. That way we can get the games from the previous year factored in and see how they match up against our favorite games of all time.

Mar 8 ... Greatest Moments In Video Games: Diablo 2
Moving on in the best Moments in video games list we have a game that Chad, Eric, and myself really enjoyed. In fact we liked it so much that a couple of us have been weary to get into another MMO since then. I am of course talking about the free online PC perfection that is Diablo 2.

Mar 1 ... Top 10 Video Game Plot Twists Of All Time
In the world of video games it is rare that we get a story that we truly feel attached to. It is even more rare for said video games to pull a fast one and leave you with your jaw on the floor. It does happen ... but these moments are few and far between for us gamers.

Hey all of you Headshot Fans ... I’m writing this to explain whey we jumped from Episode 17 to 18 without a care for the missing episode 17. We recorded episode 17 right before I had even put up episode 16 ... and in true Mike fashion ... I left it until there was absolutely no time to put it up.

Dec 13 ... The Real Joy of Christmas
Christmas is a great time of year. I've spent one Christmas overseas in Japan where I went to an arcade with my buddy Danny (together, as super-gaijin). I know what it's like to be away from friends and family on the big day and I can say that it's something that I don't want to experience again. Thankfully I'm coming home for Christmas this year.

Dec 1 ... The Integrity Police Should Investigate Gamespot.com
The internet is a flame with all of the news stories about the firing of Jeff Gerstmann, a senior editor at gamespot.com. Since I got into the world of “fake” games journalism … this is the most I’ve even seen the inter-webs talk about one gaming topic.

Nov 22 ... The Wii, throw in the towel already
The other day I was sitting around thinking about how shitty my Nintendo Wii is. The spark that caused this was when a British man came over to my place with a group of friends, mainly because he’d never gotten the honor the play anything on the Wii.

I, Mike of Headshot Radio, will tell everyone how to stop Piracy in 1 step … Call it Ass-Shovelry. The problem of piracy has been around since before there was recorded history.

Sept 13 ... Join the 6.5 Bandwagon
Let me pose a simple question to all of those video game fan-boys out there … what is it about review scores that enrages you so? What is the difference between a 9.0 and 8.5 really? Why do you feel betrayed by a 7.5?

Sept 10 ... The Headshot Radio Top 50 Games of All Time
I asked all of my co-hosts to rank their top 20 games of all time and then I applied them to a very simple formula where as I inverted the number of their rank and gave them points based on it. The top 50 here is what we got when all the games were complied together and it’s a damn good list ... Derek apologizes about #30 ... and we all feel bad about #48.
