We also cover some games like Vanquish and Alice The Madness. It's amalzing!Phone it in here!

The X-Men Episode
Previously on The Uncanny Gamers. This episode is kind of like a flashback to the 90's. Phoenix and Gemini use their Saturday night to chat about Netflix, the X-Men cartoon, and how much we like gumbo. We also talk about Spider-man Shattered Dimensions, Zuma, and Women's Murder Club. We finish it all off with some cat loving. It's more than our claustrophobia can handle!

Treyarch > Bungie

I'm as shocked as you are, but I think it's true. I have been playing some Black Ops multiplayer because of the double XP weekend and discovered the render feature. I knew you could save clips and screenshots much like the theater in Reach and Halo 3. I did not realize you could render clips up to 30 seconds FOR FREE AND HAVE THEM IMMEDIATELY POSTED TO YOUR YOUTUBE ACCOUNT!
Yea, I know!
So, I paid for Bungie Pro when Reach came out. I was given 5 render minutes a month. The way render minutes work is a joke. I wrote up a feature on Bungie Pro for Platform Nation a while back. I signed up because I thought it was the easiest way to get my clips to my YouTube account. And when I complained about it costing, all I heard from Bungie apologists is that it costs money to render the clips because it uses server resources, etc. Apparently it's worth it to Treyarch to eat that cost in order to give buyers of Black Ops this feature at no cost. This totally blows the apologist's argument out of the water.
Why's everybody gotta defend the devs when they make decisions like this that are only designed to pick our pocket? Drives me nuts!
The KitKat Tooth Episode
This is the quietest we've ever been on an episode. Gemini Ace and Phoenix are recording on a late Saturday night, being very very quiet. Phoenix regales us with tales of a postal demon, mariachi bands, and CSI: Murder. The question is, do you choose option A or option Bb? Always option A! Can you keep it down?! Shhhh!
Gamefly Avatar

Phoenix: But deep down you love the mail. So you try to stop gamefly.
Gemini: Then you have a fight with the gamefly CEO. He's in a mech and you just have whittled down trays. You had to capture your mailtruck at one point by puttkg your hair on it
Phoenix: I blind him with stamps and I have a truck made of flat rate boxes!
Gemini: But you can't breathe the toxic mail air! Then you fall in love with the handsome mailman that taught you how to sort gamefly envelopes. You lost your legs in a freak mail sorting accident Or no! A freak gamefly envelope test gone wrong!
Phoenix: They were too sharp.
Gemini: You learned that the hard way The cardboard pieces flew out at you. In slow.motion they slice into your kneecaps. Your arms are like tree trunks!

RIP MyGamerCard.Net
It's hard to believe it's been five years since the launch of the Xbox 360. A lot has happened in my personal life, and my life as a gamer. One of the most significant sites that helped shape my community experience with the Xbox 360 is MyGameCard.net. A lot of sites have come and gone, but MGC.net has remained the constant. In the earliest days of the 360, it allowed us to share our gamercards on sites, forums, and e-mail unlike the basic Microsoft version. I would argue that the whole gamercard phenomenon would not be as popular as it is without MGC. Think of it as getting achievements without being able to share them with your friends.Unfortunately, MGC has shut down. Morgon, the site creator, had to pull the plug because it's just not financially feasible for him anymore. I totally get that. Anything I do online I do for free if at all possible. If something requires payment, I immediately break into a sweat. I can only imagine what maintaining the site cost on a monthly basis. It's sad because such a valuable resource would be easy for Microsoft to step in and help maintain. Unfortunately, there will probably be no such luck.
This further proves what we've been seeing from Microsoft for some time, which is the steady pulling away from the community aspects of their business and their focus on the milking of the brand. Now, I know what you will say. They're a business. They want to make money. I got that. I also know that the Xbox 360 wouldn't be where it is without the involvement of the community. All of the community developers, podcasters, and supporters of the console helped push it back in 2005. We were podcasting about all things Xbox even before the 360. Not to mention the laundry list of forums and blogs we created in order to bring together this massive group of like minded people.
Microsoft has been pushing away from the community table for quite some time, too. The dissolution of the Gamerscoreblog was the first major sign. Everything else has been a gradual shift. Not posting community playdates on the Xbox dashboard. Trixie360 resigning from her job. She was the last true link we had to how Microsoft used to work. And say what you will, but I find it hard to believe that anyone would leave a job with the Xbox division of Microsoft unless they saw the writing on the wall.
At the end of the day, it's the community that matters most. We are the ones that buy the games, DLC, and avatar gear. Sure, Microsoft could get by with a steady release schedule of movie licensed games, Madden, and Call of Duty, but who's going to be there when the Xbox 720 finally comes out? It's those of us that are dedicated to the platform that will be there on day one.
I plan on leaving our gamercards on the site just as you see them now. There's no good replacement for them and I would rather show my support of MGC than to just change them. I remember how we got here and I thank Morgon for his hard work. Unfortunately, I question whether Microsoft does the same.
