Introducing The TMMN… Minicast?

A couple weeks back we unveiled our new podcast program on TMMN, the Megacast. However, though the show was only intended to run once a month, and for good cause, I felt that might still be too sparse to keep the show relevant to listeners. And thus was born the Minicast. This no frills, just […]

Take a Servbot Head Home Today

From the outset, it has been clear that Capcom’s Dead Rising has more in common with Mega Man than creator Keiji Inafune. Of course, it is likely because of the Inafune connection that a number of nods to Mega Man fans have been present in the zombie-bashing title. In the original game, protagonist Frank West […]
