21/03/08 - Battle Royal: Game Over.
The final episode of Battle Royal. We recap the results of the final four battles, talk about contest highlights, and reveal the final leaderboard and tell you who won the top 3 prizes. Also, find out who everyone picked as their champions, and hear how Joshie roasts you all for picking who you did. We get a surprise guest toward the end as well. You'd be really, really foolish not to download this final podcast!
15/03/08 - Battle Royal: Week 8 Recap.
Join us four as we recap the Semifinals and Division Finals, in addition to providing silly commentary and hilarity. Our first 4-person podcast this contest, and it was a doozy. Blame Josh entirely for the length being as it is. However, it's one you won't want to miss--with 4 battles left to go, it's still almost anyone's game. Find out where you stand as we head into our Tournament Final.
07/03/08 - Battle Royal: Week 7 Recap.
The unlucky 7th podcast breaks down all the Quarterfinal action, including its usual mix of results. However, Murphy and his law once again reared their ugly heads as this one ended up being recorded with just myself...falling victim to hosts never materializing, bad Internet connections, late start, and MediaFire being absolutely shitty. However, there indeed was a 40 minute block of time where I managed to get just myself. Listen to how EyesOfATragedy has surged from 6th to 1st, and also find out where everyone stands in the full leaderboard.
29/02/08 - Battle Royal: Week 6 Recap.
With Joshie and Ben bowing out at the last second to bandwidth failure and domestic duties, respectively, I bring on our defending champion to make sense of what happened during the second half of Round 2. We try to answer once and for all if Joshie really is a woman, but I don't think we actually get there. A note: this was recorded using Sound Recorder, so while the audio is decent, I take no responsibility for the whims of Windows XP. Also, I snuck in an Easter egg after the closing theme, so be sure to listen for it!
21/02/08 - Battle Royal: Week 5 Recap.
With 40 days of the contest now in the books and 48 battles left to play, things are beginning to heat up. The leaderboard has begun to spread out as more and more characters drop out of the contest. With the points now doubled, which of you benefited from fully correct battle predictions? The leaderboard may surprise you. Also, who advances to the Quarterfinals? Join myself, Ben, and Joshie for the usual hilarity (with a hint of real seriousness, including some actual important information regarding the state of the contest as a result of Fantasy World's downtime) and commentary as we recap the first half of the 2nd round.
10/02/08 - Battle Royal: Half Time.
Flying solo this time around, having shot my previous guests, I recap the first half's major highlights, and provide results for the Fourth Dimension division. In addition to putting out a call for guests for later podcasts and for fan art, I also run off the full and complete leaderboard so you know where you stand at the halfway point. Have some good music too, while you're at it.
01/02/08 - Battle Royal: Week 3 Recap.
This week, Ben, Nick, and I recap the Third Quest division. Some contest history was made in this division, and said history caused what amounts to be a surprise at the top of the leaderboard. Also, listen as Ben verbally bashes my opinion that Sakura should have beaten Rayman, as well as our thoughts on the first contest tiebreaker--did breasts have a role to play in the outcome? Combine that with the usual hilarity and commentary, it's a podcast you're not gonna wanna pass up on.
24/01/08 - Battle Royal: Week 2 Recap.
Back once again, here's the second in the series of podcasts for Battle Royal. With Ben and Sir-Not-Appearing-In-This-Podcast, we recap the first round of the Second Chance division. Full results, commentary, some Joshie bashing, and the full, up to date leaderboard lists where everyone stands after the first two divisions.
16/01/08 - Battle Royal: Week 1 Recap.
Join myself, Ben, and Joshie as we recap the First Donuts, Round 1. Results for every battle is in here, including our take on them, plus matchups for First Donuts, Round 2. Also hear where everybody stands after the first 16 battles. Plenty of hilarity, comments, and off-topic remarks. Also, we honor the birthday of Nick (iamaredmage), including a special easter egg hidden after the closing theme.
01/10/07 - Generation Seven conclusion podcast.
And so ends the Bard's Tale--I mean, ends my 7th character battle contest--the Generation Seven Character Battle Contest. Old school went up against the new classics, and now it's come to completion. 128 characters began, 1 survived it all. And now we present it to you. There is a written version of the final recap if you can't listen and/or download the end of contest podcast starring yours truly, and Kinie. Enjoy!
13/08/07 - Generation Seven halftime podcast.
We're here! We've reached the halfway mark of the Generation Seven Character Battle Contest! Staring myself (S.Roth) and running for 31 minutes, I run down how the contest has run thus far. A podcast correction: I mention an upset in the Nintendo Division between Marth and Ryu. Ryu was actually the winner there; it was the first tiebreaker of the contest. Toward the end, I mouth off the battles of Round 2, and I said Marth goes against DK. This is wrong: it is actually Ryu vs. DK.
