thebancast: Get your Mini Flipping Table at MiniFlippingTable.com. We’ve hit $2,500! Amazing! Almost half way there. As a way to celebrate, I’ve attached the work-in-progress art for the Deluxe Box, if we reach that tier. The art in question is done by (Crikey) Dave Smith, animator for Does a Thing (youtube.com/doesathing) and artist of GG-Guys (gg-guys.com). In the event of us not getting enough to do the deluxe box, we have a new tier available for $20 which will include a small art print of the final version of this image. If you already donated $20 or more, don’t worry, we’re adding it to your order free. And if you didn’t donate $20 but you still want the print, just upgrade that donation! We’ve got 4 weeks left, but with your help, we can buck the curve and get this whole thing started early, getting the tables to all our backers all the earlier. Be sure to tell your friends about www.MiniFlippingTable.com I look fantastic y’all.

Rather than beg for it, I’m listing a few items for sale that will hopefully help the dent this production is going to make in my wallet. Hit the jump for the full listing.

Episode 46
The Planet Asia

On this week’s Bancast, Levi, Mike, and Fred talk the Wii U, the year 2013, and Levi finally learns what an anime is. Also, lots of talk about the Oculus Rift.

—————————————-

We’re now streaming these episodes LIVE on twitch.tv/theBancast every Monday night at 10 Central / 11 Eastern. We’ve found that when there’s an audience, we have to try harder.

—————————————-

As always, please write into the show! We need questions to answer so we can have the spark of creativity that allows us to be funny. We’re also curious, what game would you ideally like to play on the Oculus Rift? Write in and tell us what, why, and how!

“EAT YOUR HEART OUT”

Here’s a game that I made along with two other people in the span of about 20 hours. I did all the music and sound, as well as the “cutscene” elements pictured above.

The object of the game is to raise your cholesterol high enough to cause a massive heart attack so that you can get a heart transplant. It should be noted that none of us are doctors.

You can download it here for free: http://globalgamejam.org/2013/eat-your-heart-out-0

Thanks Chris and Alfred, it was fun.

2012’s Best Albums

Another year has come and gone and, therefore, we must be inundated with Top Ten lists from every person who think they’re some incarnation of a mixture between Roger Ebert and Jesus; doling out praise for indie/alternative gems while simultaneously trying to smote anything that breaks the Billboard Top Whatever. They’re the type that cry fowl at radio stations for playing things that people like to hear instead of things they found on Bandcamp after 3 hours of digging through genres with at least 5 modifiers (Post-Hardcore Rockabilly Drum & Bass Instrumental, I’m looking at you). Yes, we’ll see many lists from troglodytic, basement dwellers who have no real experience making or understanding music, much less critiquing it. Sorry, got sidetracked describing this exact situation that I’m in.
