Okay, so, firstly: Most recent episode was a Top Ten of Generation 7 Countdown. Did you watch it? Watch it.
Secondly: I've decided to start putting old(er) episodes back up on YouTube, promotionally. The show is still going to live on Blip, and new episodes will make their debut there. But after a month or so, they'll hit YT for the sake of promotion and also because I know some folks have issues accessing the Blip player.
Episodes 78 through 86 went up today, find links after the jump. Also, don't forget: I'll be appearing in person this Saturday (9/14) at ACAM/FunSpot in New Hampshire from noon to 3pm to sell and sign copies of "Brick-By-Brick," so if you're in the New England area please feel free to swing by - if you've never been to ACAM, it's pretty incredible.
Here are the nine episodes that went up today, in case you missed any:
EPISODE 78: "PRESS-PLAYED"
"Dorito-Gate" episode, plus a recap of the show up to that point and introduction of Mr. Phibb.
EPISODE 79: "IN PRAISE OF CLONES"
Different types of "originality" in game design, return of PyroThinker and CryoThinker.
EPISODE 80: "COLLECT CALLING"

EPISODE 81: "LET THIS BE THE END"
The need for a One Console Future, argued. Return of NecroThinker.
EPISODE 82: "NEVER GROW OLD"

EPISODE 83: "THE NEXT CRASH"

(NOTE: Due to the way YouTube's uploads work, the "play all" option will not play all episodes in order.)
