Pokémon fan or not. This game was great.

Not because of the stadium battles.

But because of the mini-games.

Watch us Play Pokémon Stadium.

The Wayne Gretzky’s 3D Hockey franchise was one of the reasons to own a Nintendo 64.

It was the NBA Jam of hockey games.

But does the game hold up 10+ years later?

Watch us Play to find out.

Recorded August 19, 2010.

I know it’s been a couple of weeks since we released an episode; we’ll try and get back to recording soon.

And if everything works out to plan, we’ll be introducing a new video series sometime in the coming week.

In episode six of the flagrant3 Podcast, we talk E3 and break down the press conferences from Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony.

We discuss motion controllers, no controllers, remakes, sequels, dancing (yes dancing), as well as the brass tacks used by each of the big three to get your money.

Spoiler alert: this episode is mostly about video games.

Guess who has a new segment? We do!

In this edition of Watch us Watch (WuW), you can watch us watch (get it?) Dragonball Evolution.

Why? So you can see what you missed out on, without ever actually going to see the movie.

We shot this immediately after sitting through Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li.

Best double feature ever? I think so.

Though footage from the film’s conclusion are not included, this video does contain spoilers; mostly from our commentary of how it disregards Dragon Ball canon.

Dragon Ball? Yeah, not Dragonball; but who cares about source material? These filmmakers sure didn’t.

Do I have any more questions to ask myself? No, no I don’t.

In this uncensored episode of the flagrant3 Podcast, we try our best to get kicked off iTunes.

We talk iPhone 4 and Julian explains the only practical use of video-calling. I argue that Pairs Figure Skating is a more masculine sport than Mixed Martial Arts. My Smallville monologue. And we try to voice our opinions on the recently released Mortal Kombat teaser trailer; we try.

Recorded on June 9, 2010.

Topics include:

• iTunes Podcast approved!
• The Blackhawks (and Sac nation) rejoice
• We name-drop Native Canadian tribes
• Julian’s a fan of riots
• Jed boycotts the NBA Finals
• Anthony gets drunk off non-alcoholic Apple Cider
• Apple and iPhone 4
• WoW and FaceTime
• Jed defends the need for a theme song
• Julian gives someone’s girlfriend an 8
• Two-thirds of us share our ring-tones (here’s Jed’s)
• Jed’s Smallville monologue
• We contemplate going more Filipino
• Jed argues that Pairs Figure Skating is more masculine than Mixed Martial Arts
• Webster defines Homosexuality (and inmates and UFC fighters in the process)
• Mortal Kombat! With Captain Planet and Power Rangers mixed in
• We plan a new Watch us Watch segment, revolving around the Mighty Ducks

Yes, watch us, watch Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li… Well, at least watch some highlights of us watching it.

Why? If you’re actually reading this, chances are you have nothing better to do. (Really?)

Which is perfect since I didn’t have anything better to do than cut together one-year-old footage! (Good times.)

Watch and listen to our reactions to some of the more memorable scenes from this movie masterpiece; at least from the first-hour, since even the camera couldn’t last through to the closing credits.

This video does contain spoilers; but let’s face it, Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li was spoiled to begin with.

PS. This footage was shot when Michael Jackson jokes were still relatively funny.

I always thought we would be, but the wait time, combined with Julian and Anthony’s cynicism gave me doubts.

We should be recording (and releasing) another podcast at some point this coming week. And we’ll hopefully start cranking these out in a consistent manner.

Until then, please subscribe!

iTunes / non-iTunes

Later days.
