And Lucha on drums!
After being away for a week in Vegas for CES, and another week due to some scary ass health issues, I’m more than ready to come back to Mash Tactics tonight and have some fun. I’m still damn near blind in my left eye, but that’s not going to stop me from hanging out, and playing some Sanctum with the live crowd. As well, I have ten copies of the game to giveaway at the start of the show, so make sure you get there early, and get you some!
Another highlight of our weekend content has to be what’s happening on Rad Show: Get There this Sunday. Join in on the madness with the always amazing Johnny Luchador, as he shows off his skills in Ultimate Marvel vs.Capcom 3. If you think that sounds just a tad too dry for a Rad Show broadcast, well, you’re thinking correctly. Lucha will be playing UMvC3 not on a regular controller — oh no — but with a set of Rock Band drums. That’s what’s up!
