Private Notes
After interviewing people at other stores, Caleb and Sean stand in line at Target for two of 111 available Wii consoles. As they do, they learn something about themselves... and about life.
Straight from the Tokyo Game Show floor, Vinnk reports on some exciting Wii news from SNK.
Miyamoto wins the Taisho prize for Super Mario Bros. from Game Center CX at the Tokyo Game Show! His prize? Playing World 1-1 in front of a crowd of adoring fans!
Vinnk and Sean discuss No More Heroes, Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, Wii Family Trainer, and Doko de mo Yoga at TGS 2007.
Vinnk and Sean discuss Soul Calibur Legends, Oneechambara-R, Final Fantasy IV DS, and the Sony presser at TGS 2007.
Vinnk and Sean discuss the Microsoft booth, the Retro Video Game Awards, PixelJunk Racers, and their final thoughts on TGS 2007.
The first music video from 1337band. Subtitles added so you can understand Vinnk’s (often wrong) Japanese. Featured on the Season 1 DVD.
This promo is an outdated relic of that time. But it's still entertaining, and features the first appearance of the talking, split-personality Wii!
A.K.A. “Stuck Behind a Table”
Sean and Vinnk highlight the many uses of the new Famicom Dojo Season 1 DVD.
It's hard to get a drop on a Dojo Master. If your game is weak, train it at the Famicom Dojo!
Season 2 has begun! Have you trained your game?
Sean talks about his sweet haul from the MAGFest 2011 Marketplace.
Sean catches up on an item he missed from Thursday (and re-enacts his experience at the DJ Cutman booth), plus a couple of other goodies. Not as many things as yesterday, but today has a POTENT find!
In a newest wrinkle expanding the size of Sean’s annual convention circuit, he find that more and more that he’s confused for Noah Antwiler, a.k.a. "The Spoony One."
While waiting in line to pre-register for MAGFest 2011, Sean noticed that many fine gentlemen had lovely locks of hair growing from their faces. To kill time, he decides to interview them, and enlists JewWario to help!
It's the day before Tokyo Game Show, and Sean has gone to Akihabara to increase his stock of awesome retro games!
Sean got his hands on Mass Effect 3 and Sonic Generations. Vinnk tried out Puyo Puyo. Both were able to score some time with the PS Vita, playing Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and Ridge Racer respectively.
Sean played a lot of fighters (Street Fighter x Tekken, Soul Calibur V, BlazBlue), and Vinnk got his hands on Monster Hunter -- as well as the new control extender that everyone's been talking about!
Sean plays a Mass Effect 3 demo at Tokyo Game Show 2011. Does it stack up to the previous installments? Not a lot of surprises, but some interesting facts about the squad points selection process and ongoing Mass Effect storyline.
Sean and Vinnk get their respective pairs of hands on a couple of PS Vitas, give their reviews of the games played (Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and Ridge Racer respectively), how the PS Vita handles, and what they think its chances are against the 3DS this holiday season.
Vinnk reviews Monster Hunter 3G (pronounced "Tri-G"), and gives his impressions of the new 3DS control expansion, which adds a second circle pad and two more shoulder buttons.
See what Asuka Langley Soryu and Rei Ayanami have to say about their new mobile Neon Genesis Evangelion game! No sign of Mari Illustrious Makinami.
Sean and Vinnk talk about the two public days of the show from their loving hovel at Retro Game Friends in Akihabara, how absolutely crowded it is on the show floor when it's not just members of press, how little can be done, and what they DID manage to do while there.
Sean plays Soul Calibur V, and tries to bring his existing Soul Calibur experience to bear to understand the mechanics of the new game... and at least PARTIALLY succeeds!
Vinnk interviews the reps at the Gloops booth, and tries out LegendCards on an iPhone!
Vinnk tries out the 20th Anniversary edition of Puyo Puyo on the 3DS, and Sean plays Sonic Generations for PS3 and 3DS -- all of them in 3D!
Vinnk gets strapped with a contraption by the Kanagawa Institute of Technology that simulates the ups and downs (oh, the downs!) of pregnancy, including: bigger boobs, a punching/kicking baby, weight gain, inability to bend over, and the societal pressure of finding a husband to raise your child. This is "serious game" indeed!
Sean brings his not-so-considerable skills to bear in Street Fighter X Tekken (that's pronounced "Street Fighter cross Tekken" for those curious), and manages to beat a Capcom employee who has probably been playing the game all weekend by this point. Vinnk tries out Street Fighter IV Volt for iOS, and liked it enough to buy it when it went on sale for $1 a few weeks back.
Vinnk interviews an Angel about this digitally-based collectible card game... without any actual cards!
Vinnk interviews Wizards of the Coast Japan about a PSN-only Magic: The Gathering video game.

Sindra managed to get prime viewing for the Earthbound Papas performance at MAGfest X, and captured their entrance and first song!
Sean stops by the Random Encounter Booth in the MAGFest X marketplace to talk to Careless about their "friendly" competition to beat the Descendants of Erdrick to 2000 Facebook likes, how much more awesome their music is, and why we shouldn't like other bands spawned from evil creatures.
MAGfest X was a fantastic festival of gaming and music for almost all involved, but for a certain vampire hunting professional, it was a quest to regain the honor of the Belmont family after it was questioned and poked-fun at in lyrical-form by a certain video game parody singer. This was the clash that resulted.
Sean is looking for some retro game goodies at the Mad Gear booth in the MAGFest 2012 Marketplace, but Earl Gray III walks off with the best haul! What's a retro video game reviewer to do?
Sean chats with Benjamin Howard, proprietor and principal talent behind Fizz Man Industries, and just what it takes to create such sweet gaming-based sculture art that just tears your heart out when you have to sell it to someone for money. Also, we talk about the importance of spelling.
Grandpappy shows us how to limber up our most important gaming appendages. Avoid serious finger-sprain with these tried-and-true exercises for training your game!

Sean is away at the MAGFest 2013, and once again has left Vinnk behind. What he doesn't realize is that every year at the same time as MAGFest is Vinnk-Con!
Like previous years, Sean finds a great haul at MAGFest this year. This one is the Famicom Data Recorder (and Keyboard, which is required to use the Data Recorder), which can be used to save game data for a selection of games before the Famicom Disk System came along. Also included with the Keyboard is the Family BASIC cart, which can be used to write programs that can run on the Famicom. The data can also be saved on the Famicom Data Recorder.
Sean stopped by the FanGamer booth to pick up some sweet Legend playing cards (and they are indeed sweet!), plus a token to win a... what, Gashapon raffle? Gahsapon roulette? And, if he does, he can go back to the booth to claim a prize! How will Sean's luck turn out?
Sean takes a break from MAGFest 2013 for a little dinner: a 5-patty high Vertical Burger. Can he finish the whole thing?
Sean and Vinnk reflect on how the show has changed since those halcyon days of YouTube, and where Famicom Dojo is going in 2013. Announcements, jokes, and general fun!
