99 Bottles The Mole on the Wall

99 Bottles The Mole on the Wall

You've probably all read the Murphy post below, so this shouldn't come as too much of a surprise, but the second half of our current show, #128, will be just a little late. Hopefully it'll be up Monday night, but you never do know what's going to happen around here.

I finally beat Metroid Fusion over the weekend, and man, what an awesome game. Yes John, even on my itty-bitty screen, GBA games can still be awesome, and this one definitely is. Beating this game got me thinking though. I believe on IMDb, you can keep a running list of movies that you've seen. Does anybody know if there is a similar website for games that you've beaten? I've always wanted to go back and see a list of all those old SNES and N64 games that I've actually finished, y'know? If anybody knows of anything like this, leave us a shout in the comments, I'd love to know about it.

Now, for next week's Episode #129, we're going to be talking about physical media vs. digital media. In today's world, it's becoming more and more commonplace to be able to download games directly from the 'net instead of buying a disc at a store. Certainly this has advantages; less environmental impact, less junk around the house, the ability to patch games, the list goes on and on. But should physical media disappear completely? What are the advantages of still providing a physical game disc and a physical box?

Here's some specific questions for you to ponder on. Shout out in the comments.

1. How often do you buy a new game?
2. Looking at your current gaming collection, what percentage is physical media and what percentage is digital media?
3. If given the choice, is there one option you'd choose over the other 100% of the time? If so, why this decision?
4. What are your favorite and least-favorite things about physical media?
5. What are your favorite and least-favorite things about digital media?
