We head back to Magicant to get the trophy, and do our fucking nerd voices for half an hour.

URA Snatchcast 019

We continue on talking about the same games that we still haven’t really finished, and cover a little bit of news including Nintendo’s press event and our PS3’s turning into one-day paper weights. We go in depth about the kinds of foreigners you might meet while in Japan. (Inspired by Tim Rogers’ article, “Japan, It’s Not Funny Anymore.”) Lastly, we’ve turned Knock It Off into a weekly segment and there’s more rage than ever. And Alex goes blind.

Snatchcast 033

“I don’t call it Final Fantasy. I call it Fainaru Fantaji because that’s the true name.”

URA Snatchcast 018

There’s even more bitching than usual this week on Snatchcast. Brandon gets back on his high-horse, and Alex just pulls him back down.

Playlist:

 - Witty Banter

 - Braid

 - Ryu ga Gotoku 4 demo

 - Yakuza 3 cut material

 - More Witty Banter

Snatchcast 032

Apologies for the wind in the mic. Magicant was being attacked by a wind storm. On this episode of URA Snatchcast, Alex recounts his trip to the Filipino bar, and Brandon gets picked up by a couple of old guys.

URA Snatchcast 017

This week’s Snatchcast was a little late due to some scheduling conflicts but I’m sure you’ll find it worth the wait. 

Playlist:

• Assassin’s Creed II DLC: Bonfire of the Vanities
• Dragon Quest VI
• Noby Noby Boy for iPhone

Our discussion this week takes aim at gaming journalists. Alex hates Squall, fan fiction writers, and pretty much everyone else. Brandon hates the Western games press (all of it), and Pixelsnatch as a whole burns a lot of bridges.

Snatchcast 031

Phoenix Wright for iPhone and Dragon Quest VI for DS are back again. We run down our top five weapons. And we discuss love in games in honor of Valentine’s Day.

Snatchcast 030

Huge show this week. We finally break the two hour mark, and deliver a massive dose of ‘snatch. We team up to demolish Streets of Rage 2 for Genesis, Alex can’t remember who was in Tim Burton Batman, we tackle part two of the Dragon Quest vs. Final Fantasy debate, read some reader letters about Assassin’s Creed II: Discovery for iPhone and Brandon’s hatred of other gaming podcasts. Sit back, crack open a tall cold one, and get ready!

Snatchcast 029

We get on the couch this week, and do some therapy. We find out about Alex’s sexual frustration and Brandon’s lack of morals.

URA Snatchcast 016

Snatchcast 028 is here, and it’s action-packed. We cover new Assassin’s Creed II DLC, Professor Layton, and Shiren the Wanderer on DS. We talk a little bit about what kind of gaming we’re looking forward to over the course of this year, and lastly, we do Part 1 of a Dragon Quest vs. Final Fantasy debate, and how they target different markets. We promise to get to Dragon Quest VI next week.

Snatchcast 028

This edition of “Drinking By the Fountain” includes talks of Batman, marching band, and Alex’s lack of religion. We also taste test some chocolate beer.

URA Snatchcast 015

Translator Gabe Glick joins us this week to talk about Bayonetta. Alex and Brandon talk about what they’ve been playing as well, and we do a mini-review of Avatar in IMAX 3D. This week’s Top 5 is about side-scrollers. We wrap up with listener email.

Music in this episode includes:

• Scent of Sweet (The Pillows)
• You Make Me Feel So Young (Frank Sinatra)
• Forest for the Trees (Marielise)

Jew jokes abound this week!

Snatchcast 027

Magicant is brimming with jokes again on URA Snatchcast. There’s a weird cut in the middle where the recording got cut off, but it’s Brandon’s turn to pull a Fraioli, so please forgive him.

URA Snatchcast 014

This week on the Snatchcast, we talk about Nintendo’s DSi joke fighter Photo Fighter X and puzzler hacolife. Alex played Batman, and we can’t shut up about it. In the second segment we run down our Top 5 Female Characters. It’s another week, and another great episode of the Snatchcast!

Snatchcast 026

Alex and Brandon have been married for 25 episodes of the Snatchcast, so they celebrate by exchanging copies of Lunar Silver Star Story for Sega Saturn. They also talk about New Super Mario Bros. Wii (which they finished after the show was recorded), Muramasa, and the worst five games they played in 2009. The show is rounded out with a piece of listener mail. Enjoy the show!

Snatchcast 025

This week on URA Snatchcast, we resurrect an URA Snatchcast we recorded last month, but never put out. It was the week after the first episode with Gabe Glick, and we’re apologetic about our drunkenness. 

URA Snatchcast 013

This week, we talk about Canabalt a little bit since Alex actually got around to buying it, and we talk about multiplayer New Super Mario Bros. Wii. We cover our top five games of the year. Brandon brings up his hatred towards Japanese games being marketed to Western audiences, and we thank the fans.

Music includes: Hunting Bears (Radiohead), Batman: Arkham Asylum Credits Roll, Guadia Quest Saga’s main title, and Ryu ga Gotoku 3’s theme song, Loser (Yazawa Eikichi).

Snatchcast 024

This week’s Snatchcast is a shoddy imitation of the usual Snatchcast. It was recorded on Christmas night, and we were in a foul mood. But our gloom makes for hilarity. Learn German, hear about lame boss fights, and watch Brandon and Alex’s relationship deteriorate even further.

Snatchcast 023

It’s a special episode of the Snatchcast this week. It’s our holiday extravaganza. Alex and Brandon are joined by Gabe again, and we run down our top five games we got for Christmas (and Hanukkah). There is some Playlist stuff as well. Gabe talks Batman, Brandon talks Assassin’s Creed II and AC: Bloodlines, and Alex continues his bewilderment with Final Fantasy XIII. Enjoy some 8-bit Christmas music and pop open your Cola Shock Zero. It’s Snatchcast!

A Very Pixelsnatch Christmas

This week on the Snatchcast, Brandon talks about the latest update to Canabalt on iPhone and talks more about Assassin’s Creed II. Alex talks about Final Fantasy XIII, and we might just be the first English-speaking podcast to cover it. Our top five is on crossover titles we’d like to see, and we read comments from listeners.
