In this episode of the podcast Pandalicious lays bare her tale of woe concerning the temporary loss of her XBox Live account, and how the lack of connecting is affecting her life. From the bounce around treatment of customer care reps on both the XBox Live email and phone support, and quick response from the Windows Live ID groups to the soon-to-be-catch-phrase-of-the-end-of-summer, "...and then you get punched in the face!" Calling her segment a rant doesn't do it justice.
Bringing a little bit of tranquillity back to the show, NinJaSistah adds some gadget/peripheral stuff to the mix like Ion Audio's new $199 DrumRocker Core Rock Band kit as well as some info on the new Star Wars comics coming to an iTunes store [and Dark Horse hopes] and iPod/iPhone near you. Capping off the hour is a bit on the Square Enix PSP title Final Fantasy Dissidia and a heads up for your PAX attendees on a Tekken 6 tournament for prizes that you should jump on.

Today is the day people. Are your thumbs ready? Did you do your exercises? Were you able to decide between the path of the Jedi or the Dark Side? I hope you have, because today is July 29th which means that Soul Calibur IV has hit the shelves.
Ok, get ready for a mouthful... Namco Bandai Games recently released a new trailer for Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 2: The Phantom Fortress for the PSP system.
Don't make any plans for July 29th, because NamcoBandai will be releasing the sixth installment of their fighting franchise "Soul Calibur" with the new Soul Calibur IV title.
Returning to the franchise this go 'round are Talim, Rock, and Yoshimitsu which should make button mashers from East to West rejoicing. Talim is my girl. Whenever I'm down a round or two in a tournament, I resort back to her and open up a can of whoop the likes of which have never been seen before. Contrary to what Pandalicious will tell you, I don't cheat and pin people in the corner of the screen. Those of you who hide behind your blocking should also be aware that [like in old school
And no, your eyes are not playing any tricks on you, Yoda will be a playable character in the XB360 version with the dark lord of the Sith as the unlock-able character in the PS3 version. [Just in case you haven't been listening to me fawn over this title during the last few months. What you may not have noticed is that this latest SC outing there are more female characters than any of the series past. The ladies of SC include Amy, Cassandra, Ivy, Seong Mina, Sophitia, Taki, Talim, Tira, Xianghua, Hilde, Angol Fear, and Scheherazade. Yeap! This summer is going to be a fun one. See you online... let the ass whoopin' commence!
