This podcast is utterly awesome. I look forward to all of them! 
Thank you much, sgt_toasty!
Listened to a little bit of the Kiu one while at work. Will listen to the rest when I head home.
Thank you Crimson! I hope you have enjoyed it so far.
Look forward to next weekās episode! Iāll be attempting to maintain a regular weekly release schedule as long as guests can be found : )
Good shit. I enjoyed the rest of it. Iām glad the midwest has this podcast. It really helps the casual players know that the midwest actually has players. Kiu actually made me a TE Stick artwork display. I paid, but forgot to order with it. I will hopefully remember soon.

Dizzy, Slips and 16-bit join me to discuss their love for Mortal Kombat 9. The game is both loved and hated, celebrated and damned, and thatās only in the first half of the podcast. These three players represent a new, growing wave of Mortal Kombat culture here in the Midwest. This culture is not summarized in only these three, but by all MK players. It was great to have some of the top Midwest players on to talk with me about the game, the culture, and what they want in the future.
I just wish people cared to play it. We all own it, online was laggy when I did play it, and nobody in Nebraska takes it seriously. I will give it a listen though.
I really enjoyed this weeks podcast. Was nice hearing about things other than capcom games and TFA.
Thanks sgt_toasty! I had a vacation this past weekend so no recording took place, but look forward to a new episode in the coming week : )

Dream Cancel has come quite a ways from its inception a little more than one year ago. Administrator nilcam and global moderator Desmond Delaghetto come onto the podcast to discuss with me the trials and tribulations they have gone through as Dream Cancel has worked through its initial growing pains.

The Wichita, Kansas fighting game scene is being pulled out of its slump by the dedicated administrators of the WFGA. While only two out of the three admins could be on the podcast they still provided excellent insights into community building at the local level. Jorge (theanimefan101) and Manny (Megamanny) talk about the hurdles they and fellow admin Stephen (Affinity) have overcome and the challenges that still face the Wichita scene.
guess this is an ok place to say this
but I am streaming online lobbies for ssf4/mvc3 and even tournaments now at
im still in the infant stages of streaming but trying to improve and need your guys inputs
My XBL GT is Humbag and if I am online ill be streaming usually!
Good luck, humbag! More content creation in the Midwest is excellent.
Sup Midwest! The Southwest would like to invite you all to our regional tournament held in Central Texas. It may sound kind of far, but Iām sure there are some hungry, interested players in the Midwest who would like to take on Texas best and our neighboring states of course.
I know it may be a little short notice, but better late than never and I just thought to myself, āHey, why donāt I ask another region if they are interestedā.
Anyway, please at least check out the link. http://tinyurl.com/ktb-ctb

TFA SynKyller is on the show to discuss with me the ultimate direction of The Fighterās Alliance and what has been going on for the past several months. SynKyller is a man who has worked hard to properly manage his team and get them sponsorships that he feels will make them a recognizable force in the greater FGC. Well his persistence has paid off and in a complete surprise announcement I learn who TFAās major sponsor is.

Frosty Faustings is an event series that I learned about via word of mouth mere months after I got involved with the FGC, but even then it had a special kind of significance as a bastion of Guilty Gear passion. In fact, Frosty Faustings has been a strong supporter of games both large and small in the FGC. Elven Shadow is a well-known Guilty Gear player who moved to Japan but still maintains connections with the Chicago, Illinois community. Every winter since his departure he has returned to the U.S. to run Frosty Faustings with the help of many local players. That kind of dedication is what makes Frosty Faustings a very special event in the Midwest.
Awesome! Downloading now. Thanks for the exposure, Nathan!
Like Grog would say, āWhy isnāt there any good games?ā referring to HDR or ST
@Kobayashi: Itās what I do : ) Also Iāve heard one too many pops in the podcast now, so Iām investing in a nice pop filter. Gotta step my game up! lol
@Crimson: Lol true, true. ST revival needs to hit the Midwest more! Note sure if anyone here has seen the UD-CPS2 thread, but itās a cool project that may lead to games like ST and VS being at more major events, even if they can only be side games.
