For those of you who missed the live show or couldn’t tell what anything looked at due to faulty camera work, I just happened to take some pictures that evening and thought I might show off the hotness in a better light. Enjoy!

From our live DGR show on Saturday.
Please excuse the ending.
Hey folks! To celebrate the release of The Complete Shmopera, I decided it would be pretty cool to record a video of my favorite track in the entire collection, “The Spacebot Is Me”. This was a pretty epic track that just has a certain magic about it – I haven’t worked it out just yet, it could be a number of things:
1) Hilden screaming like he has his balls in a vice
2) Awesome Flugelhorn solo
3) It’s a Guns n’ Roses piss take
4) The line “I watch the weapon systems come online”
5) BURN BURN BURN BURN
Well, either way something about this song just worked for me, and like an inspired badger on a mission I improvised the following guitar solos after only hearing the track once. One take to record. It was 6am and I was late for a train.
Frankly, this is the easiest guitar lead I’ve ever written and I still don’t know why. It’s also my favorite.
And with that, I’m gonna sign off for now, please feel free to check out my personal website www.philhaymes.com for more music and the occasional DGR/Robot Panic related track. Oh and for all you guitar freaks, yes that was a whammy pedal.

Masters of all things retro in the world of gaming and Certified Patrons of the Drunken Gamers Radio Podcast, The GOAT Store has been a Robot Panic community favorite for years. No matter what you’re looking for in terms of your favorite old videogames, chances are the GOAT Store has it.
Dan Loosen and Gary Heil, the men behind the GOAT Store, have announced a relaunch of their web portal. I’ll let them fill you in on the details. This was taken from a post made at the VGEvo.com forums:
Gary and I just yesterday night relaunched the new GOAT Store site! It’s still *very* beta, but it should give everyone a good idea of what we’re working toward. What is working right now is:- New product listings with the game title only listed once, icons display what you can get with that particular game
- New individual product pages, showing the exact variations of the game that we have in stock and what they containIt may not seem like much, but it was quite a lot of work to transfer our database over to this point. It still isn’t 100%, but we’re going to relaunch this part (and allow ordering again ) while we complete some other stuff. If anyone wants to take a look at it and tell us what you think (post on here, PM or email me), I’d greatly appreciate it — the site is at http://www.goatstore.com/
We intend on adding in the near future the following features:
- Collection tracking. You will be able to track your collection of any console that we carry, including packaging that you have for games. We’re then going to work on making this mobile so you can have it on your phone when you walk into the local game store and are wondering if you need ____ for whatever console you collect for.
- Reward Program. Each time you make a purchase at the GOAT Store, you will get a certain number of rewards points that you will be able to use toward special bonuses, exclusive items and more!
- Game pictures. The plan is to add screenshots or cartridge shots through time to various items.
- Updated search and filters. You’ll be able to search for games that contain exactly what you want them to. Let’s say you collect boxed SNES games, so you only want to see SNES games that include good boxes. As a member, you’ll be able to filter it so that you see any SNES games we have in stock with good boxes, and what the starting prices are just for those.Enjoy! And please do tell us what you think!
Congratulations to Dan and Gary on the relaunch. Everyone should stop on by and give some love to the GOAT Store. And by love, I mean all your cash. You can find the GOAT Store by following the link in the sidebar or by clicking here.
Hey folks. Since it’ll be a few more days until our next show is up, I figured it might be a good idea to post this up.
Last weeks show was a long one, but it would have been good bit longer without a few edits. Sadly, one of the things to go were the emails that many folks sent in regarding their E3 thoughts. So, here is the segment that was cut where we read and answered all the E3 letters we received.
Enjoy and we’ll see you later this week with our full episode of DGR.

Those of you who follow us on Twitter have probably already discovered this latest foray into self-indulgence. We’re calling them DGR Audio Shots and they are, essentially, little audio clips about whatever the hell we feel like talking about. Think about it as those little off handed comments you hear us making in the opening segments of DGR. For instance, when John and Moe were busy taking “shots” from the tree in John’s front yard, you could have heard the ensuing conversation as an Audio Shot.
Ok, maybe that isn’t such a good idea.
Anyway, we’re posting them automatically to our Twitter Feed whenever we make one. I’ll also find some new fantastic way of posting them here in the sidebar. It’ll just take a bit for me to chalk out some time in order to make the various web-magics work. Until then, I’ll post them in the main blog for you to listen to, if you so chose.
Here are our first two:
Hey everyone! We’re going to be doing a segment of Drunken Gamers Radio, Live from the Midwest Gaming Classic and we’ll be streaming it live via uStream!
Here are the details:
When: Sunday, March 22
Time: 11:00 CST (or so)
Where: Ustream.tv (follow the link at the top of the page or the sidebar)
