Podcast 25 – Mass Characterization


Part 2 of our Black History Month podcast. I get together with Jeff, Raph, and Marcellus to talk some ish about black characters in games. We go across a wide variety of games and mostly complain about Japanese characterizations. Of course, we get into Native Americans, Asians, and wonder whether or not Abobo is Filipino.

PS Vita PreLaunch Party by Shifted2u


Last Friday night in Santa Monica, the 8-Bit Cubist crew got together with Shifted2u and GameFanatics to host a PS Vita PreLaunch party. They know how to put on a party, so when they asked us to get involved, we were there. This is our record of that event.

Art by Raph and Mr Benja. More on this soon.

Team LoveHate was on hand to show off their Infiniti G35 Panty & Stocking Itasha. This thing was pretty dope. At one point, we started blasting the radio, and all the building owners ran outside and started yelling at us. We laughed. We laughed so hard that we decided to do some projects in the future.
