Hooray for more Dan!
Wow, I never thought my link would make it on Dai-Cast… Sorry it had to come from the crappy Wai Wai source, but it was the only one I could find at the moment.
On a lighter note, to help the drinking game along (and since Beej is pushing the whole 4chan memes and references thing), here’s a helpful guide to the memes and milestones of 4chan: http://www.wikiworld.com/wiki/index.php/4chan Enjoy your alcohol poisoning and subsequent stomach pumping.
Miyamoto may have brought us Mario but it was Koji Kondo who wrote the music! And by the way the Acappela was horid… Nothing beats NES Mario!!
Oh, do you want me to pick up a DS for someone from Zellers…I can get one(maybe).
All hail NINTENDO

Never let it be said then, that we don’t listen to our fans! But don’t worry about wai-wai we love (w)alliteration in our titles. As to the 4chan link, we will enjoy that as we enjoy our aids!. The good aids. The one with the candy…

All Hail Sir Miyamoto as well! And god bless Koji Kondo, how could we mention his music without him.And notice who held back on the Acappella. I can smell bad singing, in the same way that I can see Dai-Cast. Actually, I probably am the only one who CAN see Dai-Cast. HaHA! (Seriously, don’t stick your earbuds in your eyes; it hurts.)
And as to the DS, no worries; we’re all salivating here for the DSlite. Nothing will satisfy us until then!
We love you Dan! *mad flag waving* We love all our Dai-Casters, yes we do! ^_^ *ahem* Anyway, another great episode, as usual. The acappella may have been bad, but it was amusing, and that’s what counts.
Just curious, Ian, did you guys get my second bad Photoshop submission in the Dai-Cast inbox? I never got a reply last week.
And lastly, can I make a recommendation for a link? You guys mentioned AMV Hell 3 a long while back, and I thought it might be cool for you to take a gander at the current AMV Hell: Championship Edition contest that’s going on at the moment. There have been several good winning entries so far, my favourites being rounds 2, 4, 6, and rogueintellectproductions’s round 10 runner-up. This is a link to the official information thread on AMV.org: http://www.animemusicvideos.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=779827
Don’t say I didn’t warn you Begis!
