Put your gnarly butt in that inner-toob, radical dood and toobe a toobular river! Or, something like that. You know you are in for a most non-heinous journey down the Okefenokee when the programmers of the game eschew the proper spelling of Tubing for something like TOOBIN’.
Welcome to the poster side, young Padawan. Get ready to blow up my death star in this weeks Feeling Motivated!!!

It is kind of hard to believe that in three episodes we will be recording our 50th show. Most podcast’s fizzle after a few episodes and here we are on the verge of celebrating our 50th! It’s crazy!
This week we had our superfan Peter joined by newcomer Justin on the show. Justin was a bit timid about being on the show but I think he did a great job. That’s not to say Peter didn’t do a good job either. The man brought his “A” game. We also this week named the lightning round the Warp Zone! Seems like the most appropriate name for the newest feature to the show. Also, I like that it reminds me of our very first episode.

This really brought the Lulz for me. I especially loved that it was in 1080p as well.
If you listen to our podcast then you know how much we love game music. In Japan game composers are treated with the same level of respect as film composers. I know I maybe more of a film dork than most but I would bet if I ask everyone to name as many film composers as they could they would come up with at least five just off of their head. But if it was game composers maybe we could remember one and it probably would be Nobuo Uematsu. Even though we probably can hum more themes from video games than we can from movie’s we’ve seen 1000 times.
My Mom was a piano teacher when I was growing up. She had something like 1.3 billion students and she taught out of the home. She love’s playing the piano and loved teaching it. Sadly I can’t play for crap (except for the Top Gun theme). My sister really doesn’t play and my brother probably can play a few songs he heard in movies only because he is OCD. I just didn’t have the patience to learn how to play Für Elise on the piano. But this was back in the early 80’s early 90’s when gaming was still in it’s infancy and my Mom didn’t have access to stuff like this. Some lady named Rachel Bell has taken it upon herself to create sheet music to some of the best games of yesteryear and today. Her website contains over 100 pieces of music that she has transcribed into sheet music. Man if my Mom had access to this stuff when I was a kid I may have been the world’s greatest pianist. But sadly all I am is someone who can’t stop laughing at the word pianist.
It’s no secret that I am a big Marvel comics fan. They are just hands down better then DC comics. Just look at the crap they’ve done with Batman and Superman in the past couple of decades. I also love Mega Man and the 8-Bit style of art. So the combination of the two equals a quantifiable nerdgasm for me. Click the above picture to see a ton of Marvel characters in 8-Bit glory!
This might be the worse week Nintendo has ever had in regards to downloads. Seriously go take a look and tell me of another week that was worse. This week brings Scott Pilgrim to the PSN and Monday Night Combat to the XBLA so it seems like it’s time to pull out those wallets!

Here’s a video I found on YouTube based on the old PC game where you, as settlers, must travel from Independence, Missouri, to Oregon’s Willamette Valle. The Game was made as edutainment to teach kids about the trials and tribulations of a 19 century pioneer. It was a game loaded with cheap deaths like your settlers getting dysentery or loosing wagons to high waters.
Apparently these guys have taken their fandom to the next level with a movie trailer to Oregon Trail. Man you Americans are fucked up.
