TODAY'S UPDATE : Work begins on Gaming Max Week 7


It's the last of the upcoming casts to be done, and I'm plowing right into it working all out. Hope to have it done by tomorrow if I work hard at it, taking time of course to look for work and get my writing off the ground again and so forth. We'll see. Update on Gaming Max Week 7's progress tomorrow, stay tuned!

A Career in Game Testing?

That's what I'm presently setting my resumes out to, looking for a career in game testing. I won't abandon the podcasting of course, we'll still have three casts a day... maybe less if I get busy beta testing games... but we'll still have casts! That I assure you!

I just need some work to do that brings in money that's all, so doing a job where I help beta test new upcoming games might be that job. We'll see. In the meantime I'm going to keep on working on Podcasts. Speaking of which...

Tomorrow is Gaming Max Week 6

Sure it's week six. Since it alternates between Jukebox Henshin Max week wise it's Week 6... technically it should be week 2 but whatever... ok, tomorrow we're putting it out so stay tuned! I already covered it so let's instead turn to Sunday and a possible new cast.

I'm still working on that but since time is of the essence I'm going to make up my mind by tonight and start casting it right away for Sunday release. When that'll come out information wise should be in a few hours. Stay tuned. Just have to cast up one more ending to a cast and then work begins and an update goes up. Stay tuned.

Final Fantasy Review Schedule for Game On Max


Here's the schedule so far, no cast selected yet but here's what we're reviewing...

Cast 1
Final Fantasy I-II : Dawn of Souls for GBA
Final Fantasy III for DS
Final Fantasy IV for GBA
Final Fantasy IV : After Years for Wii

Cast 2
Final Fantasy VII : Crisis Core for PSP
Final Fantasy VII for PSOne/PSP/PS3
Final Fantasy VII Movie PSP/DVD
Final Fantasy VII : Dirge of Cebereus for PS2

Cast 3
Final Fantasy X-2 for PS2
Final Fantasy XII for PS2
Final Fantasy XIII for XBox360(?)

(?) - I hear it'll be for XBox360. Have to see if I can get one for XBox360.

Today's Update : To PSP or Wii?

Well we review both but I was more considering which to pursue with a dollar slash point card next time, the PSP or Wii? Maybe I'll make it a thing to vote on next week. How does that work out?

If it's the PSP then I'll pursue mini games and PSOne classics for review, get the most I can out of the card (and it'll get used to prepare for my second Final Fantasy week review in preperation for reviewing Final Fantasy XIII.

If it's the Wii then I usually split the card and use my half for review. This time out I'll use it for my first Final Fantasy week review in preperation for reviewing Final Fantasy XIII.

So really either way it'll go into preparing to review Final Fantasy XIII.
I need to pull some Final Fantasy images for putting up. That's something I'll do today for certain. Stay tuned.
