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.
