Shanghai Six sits down with Glowing Stars’ chiptune cherub and GamesRadar’s favorite little sister (that everyone wants to have sex with), Miss Lizzie Cuevas! Lizzie talks about what it’s like working at the black vortex that is GamesRadar, how it feels to be asked to open for Anamanguchi, and answers your questions…including explaining in painful detail what “trunk butt” is!
Eight months and fifty-six emails later, Shanghai Six finally harasses “gaming jarnalizm” industry legend Jeff Gerstmann into borrowing a cup of sugar…oh, and an interview. This 20-year industry vet has seen it and done it all, and those are some of the stories you’ll hear about on this episode, including the infamous Kane and Lynch/Gamespot debacle, the creation and foundation of Giant Bomb, and whether or not the “NintenDownload X-press” will be making a return appearance!
Quietly, gaming retail lords Gamestop has been holding an annual mini-convention/conference prior to the glut of holiday release titles coming out, where big game publishers are all too happy to fight to the death against one another to jockey for shelf space in Gamestops across the United States. Shanghai Six heard about this conference and interviewed district Gamestop manager Michael Rung to get all the juicy details about this gathering of thousands of Gamestop employees, they take a surprise segue into Gamestop’s purchasing of Apple products, and why he only gets back $6 when trying to sell back a used copy of Driver: San Francisco.
"Once upon a time back in the year of our Lord 2009, there was a reality show on the SyFy network called the World Cyber Games Ultimate Gamer. One part reality show, one part Survivor style competition, the show focused around folks doing both live action challenges and video game faceoffs to eliminate one another."- Shanghai Six
Yet another great show by the gang at Front Towards Gamer.
