Up a Paddle - Episode 61 - The Protector of Stuff

This episode I go over the official Up a Paddle 2008 Awards, talk about new years resolutions, read out email correspondence, bandy about a few shoutouts and review The Tower of Druaga: The Aegis of Uruk.

The Up a Paddle Best of 2008 Awards:
Wherein I discuss the games and movies that won the coveted UAP Seal of Approval.

The royal seal:

You know you want one. 

The Resolutions:
Wherein I discuss my previous New Year's resolution (to learn the words to Yo Ho Yo Ho A Pirate's Life for Me - I succeeded - Woot) and I also discuss my resolutions for this year.  One of them would be quite easy if a talented anime podcaster in my area started up a con of his own, possibly centered around 80's anime, perhaps.

Stuff I'm looking forward to in 2009
Street Fighter IV.  It's almost here too. 
City Hunter Live Action TV Show - Get Wild and Tough

Stuff I'm not really looking forward to:
Street Fighter the Legend of Chun Li - I just don't see how it could top the finest live action performance of Chun Li ever:

 Still better than the Van Damme version

The News
Funimation licenses everything, ever.   

Funimation laying off employees, along with Bandai and most other anime distributors in NA.

Nintendo reveals online video service in Japan.

Don't have an engram, man!  Bart Simpson used as a marketing tool for Scientology

The Shoutouts
I gave a shoutout to a lot of the podcasters on the right sidebar there.  If I didn't give you a shoutout or felt the quality of your shoutout was lacking, I apologize.  Please contact me and I'll fix it.  Just so we're clear, I won't play your promo or link you if I don't listen to you regularly and enjoy what I'm hearing.  So if you're on the side bar, I think you're just nifty and other people should too.

The review - The Tower of Druaga: The Aegis of Uruk
Here's episode 1:

Also, please note the Tentacle Grape link on the right sidebar.  If you click the link and buy the pop, you get pop and I get money, so good deal.  Tentacle Grape Soda - Violate your Thirst.  (I came up with that slogan btw, but you can use it too).

The promos played were:
The RPGLamer Podcast: http://rpglamer.com

Spiraken Manga Review Podcast: http://spiraken.podbean.com

The song played was Ya Famous by George Hrab
