<p>A long time ago, in a galaxy very far away&#8230; In podcast #16, I believe we ran the Contest Contest Writing Contest where you had to write a story using the list of words below:</p>
<p>Commander Video<br />
Harry<br />
Noba<br />
Gail<br />
Aaron<br />
Bo<br />
Mary and Chris (Must be used together exactly like this)<br />
Apophenia<br />
Slattern<br />

<p>We were a little remiss in that we said we would post the runner-up of that contest. So here it is, in its entirety after the jump. It&#8217;s a little long, so you might want to clear out appointments for the day. Thanks again Alex B. for your epic entry to our contest. We hope to read more about your writing endeavors in the future! Enjoy!</p>

<p align="center"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Aksys Nation Players in: &#8220;Millennium Battle 2009: Sexy Turbo Edition&#8221;</span></p>
<p align="center">By Alex Barry</p>
<p>It was a beautiful spring day in the enchanted land of Southern California.  After an especially harsh winter filled with deadly blizzards and even deadlier yeti attacks, none would have contested the notion that this glorious day put all the days of the year before it to complete shame.  The light of the sun shown down upon the land like trillions of tiny flying gnomes clad in robes of gold, laughing and giggling and having nothing short of the merriest of times playing their magical silent ukuleles and dancing joyously within the warm, humid sky.  A feeling a pleasure wafted through the air that day, contaminating all who inhaled it like some thick cloud of deadly neurotoxin.  Had this actually been the case, none would have been in more indescribably hellacious pain than loyal Aksys Games employee <strong>Harry</strong>, who was enjoying the beautiful Saturday afternoon watching TV inside his suburban home.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ll return to <strong>Commander Video</strong>: Renegade Paranormal Detective after these messages from our sponsor!&#8221; proclaimed the television announcer.</p>
<p>&#8220;Ah yeah, that&#8217;s some good watchin&#8217;,&#8221; said Harry to no one in particular, sighing contentedly and taking a puff from his corncob pipe.<br />
Suddenly, a chime from the nearby grandfather clock carved to resembled the likeness of Teddy Roosevelt broke Harry from his relaxed daze, and his eyes shot to his watch like two hollow point bullets.  &#8220;By Odin&#8217;s great beard!&#8221; he exclaimed.  &#8220;It&#8217;s already three o&#8217;clock!  My fellow Aksys employees will be here for the party any minute!&#8221;</p>
<p>With the speed of the most steroid-fueled of Olympic athletes, Harry sprang to action and quickly prepared for his guests, dusting off his PlayStation 2 and setting out a cooler full of refreshing Zimas.  A second later, the doorbell rang.  &#8220;W-Who&#8217;s there!?&#8221; Harry screamed, terrified for his life.</p>
<p>&#8220;Open up, it&#8217;s <strong>Noba</strong>!&#8221; a voice came through the front door.</p>
<p>&#8220;How do I know it&#8217;s you?  Prove your identity!&#8221;</p>
<p>A moment of quiet stillness followed.  Then, without warning, a resounding <em>crack</em> rang out as the door flew off of its hinges, thousands of splinters of wood and metal exploding into the house and blanketing the carpet as the heavy door smashed into the floor with enough force to shake the entire house.  On the other side of the doorframe stood Noba, her right foot still suspended in midair.  At once, Harry felt a wave of calming relief overtake him, and not only because of the involuntary urination.  &#8220;Noba!  I was so worried you were that UPS guy who&#8217;s always trying to kill me!  Please, come in.  Can I offer you a biscotti?&#8221; he chirped enthusiastically.</p>
<p>&#8220;No thanks,&#8221; Noba said as she carefully stepped around the remains of the ruined door.  &#8220;I had some Cheetos and half a bottle of gin earlier.&#8221;</p>
<p>Behind Noba sauntered <strong>Gail</strong> and <strong>Bo</strong>.  Gail carried a large boom box on his shoulder, and within moments of him entering the house, the infectious tune of &#8216;What Is Love&#8217; by Haddaway blared so loudly that the sound was nearly deafening.  &#8220;What&#8217;s up bitches?  Let&#8217;s get dis party started!&#8221; Gail yelled over the music, flashing gang signs with his free hand.</p>
<p>&#8220;Hold up, bro,&#8221; said Harry in a serious manner.  &#8220;We&#8217;re still waiting for a few more guests to arrive.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Did someone say laundry detergent in my urethra!?&#8221; asked <strong>Aaron</strong>, who suddenly jumped through the open doorway and into view.  The studio audience immediately recognized his beloved catchphrase, and punctuated his entrance with roaring laughter and thunderous applause.</p>
<p>&#8220;Aaron, you ol&#8217; son of a <strong>slattern</strong>!&#8221; Harry quipped, playfully giving his friend a jab on the shoulder.  &#8220;It&#8217;s good to see you, man.  Hey, do you know where <strong>Mary and Chris</strong> are?  I never heard back from either of them.&#8221;</p>
<p>Aaron twirled his robust handlebar moustache in thought for a brief time before answering Harry&#8217;s question.  &#8220;Oh, yeah, that&#8217;s right.  Mary and Chris are in the hospital.  Motorcycle accident or food poisoning or something.  I fast-forwarded through most of the message.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Ah,&#8221; nodded Harry.  &#8220;In that case, I guess we can go ahead and start this thing up&#8230;  Ladies and <em>germs</em>, welcome to the first monthly Aksys Crew Guilty Gear Isuka Tournament, where we will be competing with one another in fierce two-dimensional combat for bragging rights as well as fabulous prizes!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Ooh!  Oooh!  Does the winner get a podcast!?&#8221; Bo asked excitedly, his trembling hands clutched together in hopefulness.</p>
<p>Harry reached into his vest pocket and produced a pair of black sunglasses, which he slipped on before angling his head downward so that the light reflected off of the lenses and obscured his eyes for dramatic effect.  &#8220;The winner, my good man, shall receive&#8230;  One.  Dozen.  Podcasts.&#8221;</p>
<p>The air was immediately sucked out of the room as everyone gasped in awe.  &#8220;Sheeeeiiit,&#8221; Bo said in mystified astonishment.</p>
<p>&#8220;I know,&#8221; said Harry, basking in the afterglow of his own awesome announcement.  &#8220;Now, if you&#8217;ll all be so kind as to try and guess which number I&#8217;m thinking of, we&#8217;ll determine the order of the match-ups for the tournament.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I bet it&#8217;s&#8230; sixty-nine,&#8221; said Gail.</p>
<p>&#8220;Yeah, it&#8217;s probably sixty-nine,&#8221; agreed Noba.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s sixty-nine, too,&#8221; said Bo.</p>
<p>&#8220;Sixty-nine,&#8221; said Aaron.</p>
<p>Harry closed his eyes and shuddered visibly before grabbing a pillow from the couch and screaming into it for the better part of eleven minutes.  &#8220;God Q. Almighty!&#8221; he yelled angrily after regaining his breath.  &#8220;You can&#8217;t ALL guess the same number!  That won&#8217;t work at all.  That won&#8217;t even come within pimp-slapping range of working!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;His knowledge of mathematical physics and quantum superposition must be quite limited if he truly believes that,&#8221; Bo whispered to Noba.  &#8220;Not like <em>this</em> scholarly individual,&#8221; he said while pointing to his &#8220;Licensed Cooch Inspector&#8221; t-shirt and chuckling proudly at his own <strong>vainglorious</strong> comment.</p>
<p>Aaron saw that his coworker was obviously distraught.  Recalling what he had learned from his mandatory workplace sensitivity training, he thought that the best course of action was to say something calming and reassuring.  &#8220;Out of respect for you as a person, I change my guess to sixty-eight.&#8221;</p>
<p>Harry grit his teeth with fury and leaned in close to Aaron.  &#8220;I swear I will CUT you!  I will cut you DEEP!&#8221; he hissed.</p>
<p>&#8220;Now Harry,&#8221; said Gail, &#8220;Aaron was only trying to help.  You can&#8217;t let your <strong>apophenia</strong>-fueled paranoia make you think everyone is against you.  I know it may seem like this tournament you&#8217;ve put your blood and sweat and tears and other assorted bodily fluids into is ruined, but we can still make this work.&#8221;  Gail&#8217;s smile beamed with the bright innocence of a child&#8217;s candy-filled dream.  &#8220;Turn that frown upside down, champ!  I know we can save the day!  Why, if we put our minds to it, I&#8217;m sure we can come up with an even better—&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Kitchen&#8217;s on fire,&#8221; interrupted Noba.</p>
<p>&#8220;Oh sweet Jehovah,&#8221; screamed Harry, &#8220;I left the Chex party mix in the oven too long!&#8221;</p>
<p>* * * * *</p>
<p>Some time later, as the last of the fire engines was driving away, the Aksys crew stood in Harry&#8217;s front yard, gazing back at the smoldering pile of debris and rubble that was his home only hours before.  Seemingly out of nowhere, dozens of cattle wandered onto the lot and began grazing on the grass.  After what seemed like an eternity of silence, Gail finally spoke.  &#8220;Well, I think we all learned an important lesson about the true meaning of friendship,&#8221; he said with a knowing smile.</p>
<p>Harry blinked twice and shook his head as if coming back to reality after watching a really trippy-ass movie.  &#8220;I&#8230; What?&#8221; he asked with a confused look.</p>
<p>&#8220;No, Gail&#8217;s right,&#8221; said Aaron.  &#8220;Harry may have lost his house and all of his possessions, and we may have all gotten second-degree burns and a lifetime of chronic respiratory problems from inhaling so much smoke while we tried in vain to save his priceless collection of clocks shaped like dead presidents, and Bo may or may not have been touched inappropriately in the back of that ambulance by a clown that no one else saw, but the important thing is that we&#8217;re together.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re right,&#8221; said Harry, wiping a tear from his eye.  &#8220;Thanks, you guys.&#8221;</p>
<p>Everyone engaged in a group hug while onlookers seemed genuinely disturbed, with one man crashing his car into a light post as a result of being distracted by the odd spectacle.</p>
<p>&#8220;Come on everyone,&#8221; said Harry with renewed faith in the world, &#8220;let&#8217;s go get some ice-cream!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Wait,&#8221; said Bo. &#8220;If the tournament is canceled, then who won the podcasts?&#8221;</p>
<p>Harry smiled warmly, then turned his gaze toward the distant sunset.  &#8220;We all won the podcasts, Bojangles.  We <em>all</em> won the podcasts.&#8221;</p>
<p>The friends and coworkers shared a tender moment, then walked together toward the far-off horizon, their forms becoming dark silhouettes against the beautiful pollution-filtered light of the setting sun.  All of them lived happily ever after.  Until Monday.</p>
<p><strong>The End</strong></p>

<p>Hey everyone! I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who participated in our inaugural Battle the Aksys Crew and win a 6B T-shirt contest. We had fun and hope you guys did too! For those that weren&#8217;t picked this time, keep practicing since we&#8217;ll be keeping the entries from this contest and choosing some more victi&#8230;.err I mean contestants to battle us for free BB merch. We wanted to stream the matches but due to technical difficulties we had to skip it this time. We&#8217;ll definitely get our $&amp;@! together next time. Thanks again!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With BlazBlue and its taxing production cycle now firmly behind us, we can return to our (semi-) regular podcast updates! As I am sure you are aware, this is our second show since the end of what we have come to call The Dark Times, and it contains several announcements. You will have to listen to the show (or click the &#8220;more&#8221; link and read the show notes) to find out more. We <em>also</em> touch on a number of contests, such as the currently-ongoing Battle Fantasia trophy-naming contest (which can, incidentally, be found <a href="http://www.aksysgames.com/bfonpsn/">here</a>), and the soon-to-commence &#8220;Battle the Aksys Crew in       BB and win a 6B shirt&#8221; contest (competition?). For further details, I direct to you to the podcast, which you can find at the bottom of this post, or on this friendly <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/aksysnation">RSS feed</a>. Please use caution, however&#8211;it also contains Aaron talking about certain <em>things</em> which you may or may not want to hear about.</p>

<p>If you guys haven&#8217;t heard, BlazB&#8230;Battle Fantasia is finally coming to Playstation Network! When? This coming Fall 2009! And to celebrate this announcement, we&#8217;re gonna run a little contest.  The contest is simple. We added additional trophies for the PSN version of Battle Fantasia and we honestly don&#8217;t know what the hell to name them. So instead of us bonking heads and 300 kicking girls in the back for idle ideas. We&#8217;re gonna let our loyal fans do the creative work for us. So for those of you that wanna go down in gaming history again, (those that missed out of the Drive contest) check out the contest after the jump:</p>
<p><span id="more-2912"></span></p>
<p>To commemorate this special release, Aksys Games have added additional trophies to be named by the fans of the series! Below are the trophies that are up to be named:</p>
<p>1. Outside of training mode, dish out a total of over 1,000,000 damage.</p>
<p>2. In single-player arcade mode, seduce every character with Ashley&#8217;s taunt.</p>
<p>3. In single-player arcade mode, get 25+ hits with Coyori&#8217;s Cat Storm.</p>
<p>4. Outside of training mode, as Death Bringer, defeat an opponent with a single move.</p>
<p>5. Outside of training mode, win a match with only 1 HP left.</p>
<p>To enter the contest, head on over to <a title="http://aksysgames.com/bfonpsn/" href="http://aksysgames.com/bfonpsn/">http://aksysgames.com/bfonpsn/</a>! The best name of each trophy will be included in the game!</p>
<p>6B for the Win Folks!</p>

Firstly, the Character Designer for Battle Fantasia, Ms. Emiko Iwasaki, graces us with some answers to some interesting questions. Also, we announce the winner of the &#8220;Most Awesome Word&#8221; contest, as well as announce a new contest, one that we surely won&#8217;t regret, and I came up with a new censoring scheme.

<li>We got a post asking about shmups&#8230;what are the chances of us bringing more shmups to America?</li>
<li>Shooting games just aren&#8217;t all that popular these days.  Niche market.  Better as a download.</li>

</ul>

<p>In case you haven&#8217;t heard, or even if you have heard, this is a shout out to all you folks out there who wanna make some easy dough. We&#8217;re currently running a Cash Money cosplay contest: All you gotta do is dress up as your favorite Guilty Gear or BlazBlue character—hell, dress up as ANY character from ANY of our titles, like Castle of Shikigami III or Jake Hunter—and you&#8217;ll have a shot at making cash money! If your cosplay kung-fu is strong, we&#8217;ll hook you up with Harry&#8217;s Cash Money, 100 bills. So, do you have what it takes?!</p>
