RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!

-Trojan Dynasty Warriors?

-The next leg of the Super Robot Arms Race

-And a new frigging JAM Project album!

All that, and (an attempt at) THE FRIDAY ACE E3 SPECIAL!!!, in this week’s Friday ACE!

 

SHOW NOTES:

Mike here… and I really do wish I were going to E3! Unfortunately, the desire to get a college education (and a skill set that will allow me to escape the layer of hell that is retail) has put a damper on any con/event plans for the summer. I can only watch the awesomeness from afar. Don’t cry for me, I’m already (in debt)…

However, if you are like me with finding yourself on the outside looking in next week, I suggest staying tuned to the insane E3 coverage that’ll be coming out of the guys from ScrewAttack. I know, I mentioned them in the Watch List already, but trust me when I say that they’ll have you covered and then some; I wouldn’t speak that highly of them if I didn’t believe they were worth your time.

Until the next, drop me a line at [email protected], spread the word, and take care!

Mike Dent

 

PS: Seriously, congrats to Kaela Kimura on the impending marriage (sorry for botching the months–you’re FIVE months pregnant, not three) and thanks to Kara for filling in at the last second!
