JKP! Ep.59: Who’s the Other Butt?

Jump Kick Punch!

After two weeks’ worth of failed attempts and delayed recordings, our heroes Brandon, Tom, and Josh rally together to talk about some damn video games, damn it! Will Brandon ever play anything other than Arcade mode in MvC3? Has Tom become a master of shooting hovering bad guys in the butt? Can Josh stop playing fucking Tetris on his new spacephone long enough to give a damn? The answers to these important questions and more await you in this exciting, extra-late episode!

Show highlights:

0:06:12 – Marvel vs Capcom 3 is finally! Out! No one enjoys playing it, apparently! Wait, what?

0:29:22 – Heidi walks around the group to avoid derailing the recording, inadvertently resulting in a total derailing of the recording.

0:35:00 – Josh has been playing Assassin’s Creed 2 for the first time, and he is quite taken by it. You guys heard of it? You should try it.

1:03:37 – Intermission! …featuring “Audio Avenue” by chiptunes virtuoso FantomenK!

1:04:54 – Internet sweetheart and “Your Own Show” finalist Zach Anner is Tom and Brandon’s personal hero! (UPDATE: On the very night of this recording, he went on to win the final competition! Sure it was a tie, but winning is winning! Congratulations, Zach!)

1:12:50 – Josh has been keeping up with Conan, who is basically kicking ass to no great surprise.

1:21:42 – Charlie Sheen had the world’s greatest celebrity meltdown this week, blasting into the next stage of celebrity evolution and becoming a being of pure, self-absorbed energy. Fucking amazing.

1:33:04 – Tom and Brandon both have Bulletstorm! It is not as filthy as advertised! Shame on you, advertisers! Good for you, Bulletstorm!

1:52:44 – Listener Emails! Nik, having celebrated his birthday earlier this month, writes in with a (now belated) birthday wish and asks about which birthdays we remember the most. Hooray, birthdays!

2:06:35 – Billy asks us what we mean when we refer to a game as “charming.” (This special answer brought to you by the Dave Matthews Band!)

2:21:36 – Crowley Cwestion Corner! This week, Tyler inquires as to the origin of our name, “Jump Kick Punch.”
