Don't worry, we're still alive

videogamingisgood — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 17:39:24 GMT

Hey all. Just letting you know that VGIG is still alive, just that with Sclozza and myself being real busy with RL, we hardly get a chance when both of us are free at the same time, let alone time to even chat to each other. We'll try to get a new episode asap, but can't promise anything. Thanks for the continued support, its all very much appreciated. - Ammo
