The return of the poll! I need help in determining what filesize (which relates directly to video quality) we should use to appeal to the largest number of people. We currently have a guideline not to pass the 1.5GB/video mark. The main considerations are how much disk space people have (if they can store it), their internet download rate (how fast they can get the episode), and their internet download cap (how much they can download in a month). So please answer our simple poll so we can figure this out and deliver the highest quality to the most people.

Welcome to another episode of HPAW. This week we had a plan but that plan changed when WorldGone Awry showed up. So join Alex Mercer and a great cast of Mempf, Teclis, Kaisuke, Dark Elf and WorldGone Awry for a mission of vengeance.

This episode was not filmed live so don’t worry people you didn’t miss out. But this episode does have a few surprises.

Welcome to HPAW’s first live episode! Massive amounts of blood and gore for everyone. You see Jack doesn’t fight people he kicks their ass, with a chainsaw! We welcome a full cast and our live audience on Justin.tv for this epic and historical game on the Wii, Mad World.

A couple of side notes. No one in the studio before this episode had ever played this game. There will not be an HD version of this episode (Wii does not output in HD).

This Wednesday we will be filming an HPAW episode featuring Mad World for the Wii. We will be starting the live feed around 5:00PM PST. So at 5:00PM or whatever local time that may be for you head over to http://www.justin.tv/mempf/ and check it out.

The cast of the episode has yet to be confirmed but this post will be updated when it is.

And for those who miss the live episode or just don’t want to watch it live (there is still a good chance the live feed will be a webcam again) we will of course be recording the episode and it will be released hopefully within 24 hours.

I remind everyone the Wii does not output in HD so don’t expect an HD version this time.

So once again here are the details:
What: Live HPAW episode on Mad World for the Wii
Where: http://www.justin.tv/mempf/
When: Wednesday, May 13th 2009 at ~5:00PM PST
Who: Mempf, Teclis, Biske and Kaisuke

Part 14 has been released. Marathon complete! Thank you for watching!

Welcome to the Resident Evil 5 Marathon. For the first time ever we will be showing an off screen live feed of the game. The screen used will be the Sheva screen. The quality kinda sucks so make sure you get the HD parts when made available later. We are also of course filming our regular segmented marathon in HD simultaneously using Chris’s screen.

Welcome to another HPAW episode, this week we have two games, Katamari Damacy amd Noby Noby Boy. Both are crazy games from Bandai Namco so try not to make too much sense of this episode.

Quality is kinda low on the Katamari section (upscaling sucks) but the Noby Noby Boy section looks amazing. In addition I was really sick for the filming of this episode so sorry about any disruptions caused by that.

Hello and welcome to another special HPAW project on one of my favorite games F.E.A.R. Just like the FEAR M.E. project, FEAR M.E.

Hello and welcome to a special HPAW project. As some of you know I (Mempf for you new people) am a huge F.E.A.R. fan (enough to use the .’s most of the time apparently). And although I was initially a little disappointed with F.E.A.R. 2, the more I think about it it really is a fantastic game.

So what is FEAR M.E.? It is a marathon of sorts. Not of our traditional kind though. For F.E.A.R. 2 a group of people would ruin the mood and immersion the game so well creates. I will however be using the HPAW microphone to capture my feedback and comments of the story alone with other things.

I do plan to play through the whole game (Monolith I promise this will only make more sales!) however my time frame for completing this is currently unknown. Oh and FEAR M.E. means FEAR the Mempf Experience so please enjoy.
