We are the game debaters. We debate about games.... thus the name of the site..... Duh!
Gamedebate Site Update + Non-Skyped Show!
Just thought I would give a little update here. Last night I spent a good chunk of the night upgrading our site to WordPress 2.9.2 which, if done manually (which is how this site is setup) is a pain in the ASS! After updating it seemed that the database which I set this up with (MySQL 4.0.2) was outdated. Little did I know when I initially created this site from raw WordPress code and having no clue about DBs I ignored the “MySQL5″ option when creating the database. So long story short I had to create a new DB that is 4.8 compatible or higher, import the old DB, test it, update the PHP code and run this puppy. So here you have it! Now with less spam. 
All I know is I will not have these DB problems again on the next update thank god!
Now to the more important stuff. Victor and I are recording a show live. No not over skype and taking calls but instead recording it live with both of us present in the same room. Equipment was tested yesterday and I should have taken a pic of the setup then but Our silent 3rd Member Jason came by and wanted to chill. But this is what we got so far, this is the setup:
- My Vestax PVC-175 Mixer
- 2x Sony F-V220 Microphones
- My AMD Laptop for recording since we are doing this in my Living room as there has been no dedicated recording space set yet in my room
- One of our iPhones connected as an audio input for intro/outro music/soundboards
- Various RCA Cables to hook all this up
- 2x Random desktop Mic Stands
You are reading that right! We have something that is as close to a legit setup as you can get considering that all this equipment was already present. I think it will work great I have not yet figured out how we are going to get the headphones in there. But I have a 2 way splitter and some adapters where I can use the DJ mixers Monitor input to hear everything. I will test this on Monday to ensure all goes well for Tuesday. This is going to be a double header show so we are recording 2 shows in one day! Please send us any feedback or things you want us to discuss on the show here in the comment thread or in the Facebook group comments. See you guys Tuesday!
With Peace and Humptyness forever,

Yes! This is in fact, my FAVORITE trilogy of old school, side scrolling Beat ‘em Ups for the SNES. I had very fond memories of these games. I remember the first time I played it and that was actually “Rushing Beat Ran � Fukusei Toshi” which of course I met initially as “Brawl Brothers”. I played this with my Friend Ariel (yes that’s HIS name) and I must say it is the most fun I had playing a 2 player game since Street Fighter II at the time. Now I do not recall if I played “Rival Turf” aka “Rushing Beat” first. I also do not recall when I played “The Peace Keepers” aka “Rushing Beat Syura”, maybe 1995 or so. Anyways, but it was not until many years later in the late 90s that I found out these were a trilogy in Japan. I played “Brawl Brothers” until 2002 on my SNES straight from 1995 when I acquired it from the same Blockbuster that I rented it from initially for $14.99. I bought it with my allowance which was paid as a lump sum as we were in Germany that summer for over a month so I collected my weekly allowance (which I had forgotten about cause of all the summer fun) and saw it in the used games bin and bought it without thought. I do not know where this original purchased game is (nor my Street Fighter 2 Turbo) but once I do I will make a video on these “Lost Games”. As there are about 3 of them. Anyhow here is the Video! Enjoy!!!!
PS I know that I spelled the URL wrong. I’ve since re-edited this vid but did not re-up it as it has been embedded in some other sites I still need to find.
