My Take Radio-Episode 39-Recap: Austin Creed & Larry Oji from OCRemix.org
by Rich on Apr.23, 2010, under My Take Radio Episodes
I was joined this week by former TNA superstar Austin Creed aka Consequences Creed as well as OCRemix judge Larry Oji. We discussed Austin’s wrestling career and also picked his brain on wrestling in general. Austin being a fan of OCRemix.org had a lot of questions for Larry as well. Larry being a wrestling fan brought his knowledge out on this episode and asked some really great questions. It made my job easier hahaha. Nonetheless Austin being a gamer like myself had many fun and memorable stories to share relating to gaming and of course wrestling.Between being a gamer, pro wrestler and college grad I appreciated Austin’s humbleness and respect for the wrestling business. He is a knowledgeable and well spoken athlete and a great ambassador to pro wrestling. MTR wishes him luck on his upcoming trip to Japan
This month is OCRemix support month and as such I ask fellow readers and listeners to stop in to OCRemix.org and donate whatever you can. OCRemix provides great remixes and albums for absolutely free. Any help you provide will be appreciated.
Austin is wrestling across the country and can be seen at the following venues.
In addition Austin has the opportunity to appear in a movie based on the comic book Bad Kids Go To Hell. You can vote for him to have a part in the film by going to the bad kids go to hell site. You know our guest loves gaming when they dress up like this:
You can follow Austin on twitter @AustinCreed and also check his site as well. Larry Oji is also on twitter @LarryOji and of course his site is OCRemix.org

My Take Radio-Episode 32-Recap
by Rich on Feb.26, 2010, under My Take Radio Episodes
Coming off the momentum of last weeks show there were tons of things to discuss. MMA talk covered UFC 110 as well as some talk about the Frank Mir incident. Wrestling news covered WWE NXT as well the Elimination Chamber PPV. Gaming talked was rage filled as usual with gripes about the state of online play on the PS3 and the Wii. Also gave my impression on the DSi XL and the impact it has on the e-reader market. Last but not least were the movies news for this week. Another lengthy discussion regarding comic book movies and the right and wrong facets of Hollywood filmmaking.
Here is some media for a few of the items that were discussed

My Take Radio-Episode 31-Recap-GirlGamer.com Edition
by Rich on Feb.19, 2010, under My Take Radio Episodes

On tonight’s episode I was joined by H.B Duran, aka Angel Thanatos from GirlGamer.com. Angel fit in well with the MTR audience with her sharp wit and insight. She broke down the girl gamer stigma and shared her thoughts on X-10 and other gaming news that were discussed. Later in the broadcast, we were joined by Joanna aka Joylia, a colleague of Angel’s, who contributed to the game and movie discussions as well.
GirlGamer.com is not your average gaming website. In lurking around the site for the last two weeks I learned that they have a tight-knit, welcoming community that is not centered totally around the girl gamer mantra. They are knowledgeable and have a firm grasp at what gaming truly is. I recommend you stop by the site and see for yourself what they have to offer.
Here’s a little background on Angel: When Raccoon City Police found young Angel that day, no one could have imagined that this scrappy little girl in a Tanooki suit would some day destroy the entire city. She grew up to love EZ Cheese and shotguns and was loved by all. After a waffle breakfast gone terribly wrong, zombies infested the land and the locals gave her another name…Thanatos. But who is she, really? Some say she is the forbidden love child of Batman and Wonder Woman, but one thing is for sure — the power to move cheese with one’s mind is none to be reckoned with. Fitting in no where, Angel wandered from town to town; finally living in Silent Hill until a heated argument with Pyramid Head over a poker game sent her storming out. Years past. Hiding from the cops in Liberty City and yearning for adventure, she took a temp job on the USG Ishimura but for reasons the lawyer says she cannot discuss, she is living comfortably off of the restitution. Finally, a miracle happened. One day, the good folks at GirlGamer.com found Angel scaring employees at the local Game Stop and rather than send her back to live with the evil Ewoks, they gave her a job. Angel Thanatos is now the Lead Editor and Community Manager of GirlGamer.com, still scares people and rants about Pyramid Head being a no-good cheater.
Now that you got a good chuckle, here is her real bio: Angel Thanatos (aka GG Angel Thanatos) began playing video games when the soundtracks consisted of “boops and beeps” and you had to use your imagination to see what the hell you were moving around on the screen. She has had the pleasure of watching the video game industry grow from its infancy, and Angel has played and/or owned just about every console ever made. Although she specializes in First Person Shooters and anything Silent Hill, Angel Thanatos still plays a variety of genres…NONE of which involve cooking or ponies. Angel is the Lead Editor and Community Manager of GirlGamer.com; a definitive eZine and online community for women to game. She is also an artist, actress, screenwriter, singer/songwriter and all-around smart ass. You can follow her on Twitter at @ggAngelThanatos.
As you can see, she can tell a great story but knows her games. If you are on twitter say wassup or look for her on GirlGamer.com .
My Take Radio would like to thank Angel & Joanna for stopping by. They are always welcome at MTR.
My Take Radio-Episode 23-Recap
by Rich on Dec.11, 2009, under My Take Radio Episodes
This week was guest free and back to the usual lunacy that goes on for 2.5 hours every week. I discussed the new initiative in place by developers to adjust game difficulty on the sly as well as the repercussions that has on gamers. The TUF Finale was discussed at length as well as the futures of Brock and Hendo. I also discussed the passing of former WWE superstar Umaga.
Video game & movie segments were a gem as usual. My venom and rage was directed at Spider-Man 4’s rumored casting choices.
If you didn’t get a chance to listen live head over to Blog Talk Radio or Libsyn and of course Itunes for your MTR fix.
Art contest entries will be posted in the coming days on the MTR Facebook fan page as well as here so check back in a few days.
My Take Radio-Episode 22-Recap-MMA Hot Stuff Edition
by Rich on Dec.05, 2009, under My Take Radio Episodes
This week my guest was Rachel Frederick who owns & runs MMAHotstuff.com. She shared her insight on the sport of MMA as well as her thoughts on some of the upcoming fights. If you are a woman who is an MMA fan and wants a feminine perspective on the sport without all the fluff then MMA Hot Stuff is the site you need to check out.
Rachel is currently working on two other sites that are currently in the infancy stages in addition to MMA Hot Stuff. The 1st site is ringsidesocialite.com which much like MMA Hot Stuff looks at the sport of professional boxing from a woman’s perspective and educates female fans on the “sweet” science. The other site is mmasocialites.com which covers MMA but from a new unique and insightful perspective that allows fans to peer into fighters day to day lives.
Please stop by her sites and show your support. Also look for her on twitter for MMA Hot Stuff as well as MMA Socialites & Boxing Socialite

by Rich on Nov.26, 2009, under My Take Radio Episodes
This week I had the opportunity to interview Haydn Dalton (Lead Designer) & Han Randhawa (Art Director) who worked on the upcoming Darksiders game. I had the chance to play Darksiders at Comic-Con a few months ago and from the 1st few minutes of gameplay I was hooked. Between the great art from Joe Madureira and the great gameplay I knew this game was going to be special.
Haydn & Han gave listeners a look into the inner workings of game development as well as insight into making Darksiders.
Darksiders will be released on 1/5/2010. Make sure you pick it up!!
If you would like to keep up to date with Darksiders news and info head over to the following sites
