The 8-Bit Show – Posing Like a Female Superhero

8bitshow@classicgamerbrain.com (Classic Gamer Brain) — Fri, 11 May 2012 06:24:28 +0000

First off, I want to apologize for the quality of the podcast, while I did get our audio issue resolved, I guess I didn’t apply the right setting, meaning our master audio was recorded at the lowest possible setting (Why the hell would it default to that?). Anyways, it’s actually far better than the crap we had before, and it was a very fun, albiet short podcast, so I thought I’d let you non-live listeners enjoy. We will be back to full quality next week, but for now, enjoy our Welch’s Grape Wine!
