This time around we tried a few new things...we had a guest, we included background music under most of the talking parts, and we actually found some real VG news, instead of just talking about whatever we felt like at the time. We had a little issue with clipping on some of the talking bits, but we tried to smooth it out as best we could. PLEASE, send us any comments to contact@vgmmegacast.com.
