R3match just released show 4 of the “R3match Radio,” podcast for you guys to take an ear to.

The official word from the site:

We see the return of Juan, “the kid,” Perez on the show this week and we dig into the latest gaming news. Carlos talks about some of the exploitin’ he’s been doing in Pub Games, Juan’s “The Last Guy” on PSN, and Jason flies high in the remake of 1943. News is a bit Gears of War 2-flavored with some Sony updates trickled in and we end the show with a some site pimpage.

Pictorial Discussion this week (Fail?):

Halo 3’s “Mythic“

Inside you’ll find a few details on how you can get to workin’ at Kezins.com and we exchanged a few fanboy-ish words.

I started Kezins.com back in March and have been developing the project ever since. We’re currently in need of some volunteer bloggers who would like to get their feet wet in online blog journalism. I started out blogging on a volunteer basis myself until I moved on to work as a news editor and marketing assistant for Ziff Davis Game Media. I have since returned to the world of freelance blogging, but have enjoyed every moment of it.

If you are a gamer interested in having your opinions heard, we’re certainly looking for you. Kezins.com isn’t a strict site like most corporate outlets. There wouldn’t be any deadlines and we wouldn’t limit your creativity, as long as the material isn’t grossly obscene.

We desperately need some people who have interests in the following areas:

• Nintendo DS
• Sony PSP
• PC Gaming
• Retro Gaming

If any of those fit your interests, email kezins@kezins.com with what you’d be interested in doing and we’ll get back to you. While we do run some ads on the site, we’re not quite profitable yet. Once the site builds up and we begin to grow, some paid opportunities may open up.

Surprised by our own persistence and dedication to keeping a podcast up and running on a weekly basis, we bring you Show 3 of “R3match Radio.”

The word from the site:

After ONE show co-hostin’ with Jason and Carlos last week, Juan took a quick vacation out…somewhere in the East Coast. But the show must go on and the super-duo brought it this week with some Mercenaries 2 talk, Xbox 360 motion-control rumor-mongering, as well as “Red Ring of Death” reminiscing.

Pictorial Discussion: Halo Wars Box Art

We threw in the following song, from our favorite ad at the moment, for some added affect:

‘Mercenaries 2′ Ad Lyrics

Oh, nooo…
Oh, nooo…
Oh, nooo…

Yo, yo, yo.

Oh, no, you didn’t,

Sucka try to play me,
But you never paid me,
Never,

Oh, no, you didn’t,

Payback is a-comin’,
You will be runnin’ for-e-ver,

Oh, no, you didn’t,

Until I get my vengeance,
I will never end this may-hem,

Oh, no, you didn’t,

I’m a mercenary,
You ain’t got a prayer,
You owe meeee

I’ve seen some great Zelda pieces over the years, and this has to be up there with the best. ‘Ocarina of Time’ was perhaps the best of all Zelda games and the Sheik had a little something to do with that.  The character is as mysterious now as he was back then.  ”The Sheik” by First4Figures is currently selling for $99.90 on Play-Asia and will probably not remain on the site for too long.

For some reason our eNews & Updates form at the top of the site wasn’t working, but we have it fixed for your viewing pleasure. If you’d like to receive updates from our site, this is the easiest way to get them. Subscribing to the feed will send our daily content to your inbox, which is a lot more convenient than having to check an RSS feed or browse the site each day. We’d still appreciate a comment here and there though. You can use the form at the top right of our site or the one I posted below. Thanks for checking out our site!

If you are a fan of the site, then you probably read our original ‘7 Greatest Video Game Urban Legends’ post, which quickly became our most popular article ever. We thought it was about time to bring back the post with updates and new information.

We all have heard of them, swore to have done them or know someone whose cousin has. That’s right, I’m talking about Video Game Urban Legends (VGUL). No, we’re not going to talk about the munchkin in the back of “Wizard of Oz” who supposedly hangs himself from the tree. We’re not talking about how there is a ghost in the window in “3 Men and a Baby” who died in that house. Not Bigfoot or Loch Ness. We’re talking Video Games…. We’re talking Urban Legends in Video Games.

We searched high and low to bring to you, our latest redux installment of these Urban Legends, and hope you enjoy what we have come up with.

This was one of the best weeks we’ve had on the site in a long time. As far as traffic, it was probably the best week we have had in 2 months, which makes all of us happy. We’d like to thank our loyal readers and random visitors for making things happen. Hopefully we can expand and make some bigger things happen if we continue the way we have been.  Our top article received over 15,000 unique views this week and covered the topic of the famous “Wilhelm Scream”.

Let me warn you and say the link is NSFW.  But this chick really knows how to get with the hottest character in Halo.  The Master Chief!  Owen Good over at Kotaku, linked this story back to GamerFetish.com.  But be warned the site is very (Not safe for work)

I’ve never been a big fan of Halo 3, I know I’m nuts, but if anyone would get me to play, Ann Angel could help charge my Xbox controller.  Kezins would like to ask you gamers, do sexy women featured with video games help sell the game?

Again, listen to Tony Clifton, this link is very NSFW!  Gamerfetish.com

Love the smurfs shirt, I wonder if she’s an 80’s chick?

Before Kezins, this writer got his start on R3match.com. We started a podcast on the site, but busy lives and conflicting schedules made it possible for only a few shows last year. Finally, we’ve got our “ish” together and have brought the R3match Radio Podcast back!

Listen in as Jason and yours truly dissect the latest in gaming and ramble on in this special “Resurrection Show.” 23-minutes of awesomeness awaits you here.

Unfortunately, we haven’t gotten ALL the kinks worked out yet, so to download you might want to try Internet Explorer instead of Firefox. If you just want to listen, any browser will work.

Please let us know what you think of the show in the comments below.

We decided to start a new segment on the site called “Word of the Day”. Our challenge to you is to find a way to use each word of the day to enhance your life. I’m a huge fan addict of Dictionary.com’s “Word of the Day” but we’ll be choosing terms that you are unlikely to find there. Today’s word of the day is “bitchassness” coined by P Diddy on Making The Band. I find that this particular word is appropriate for the gaming world as well. If you play a lot of online games, you certainly run into numerous people who fall into this term.

The term basically refers to negative actions towards others through words and expressions. If you think you are better than those around you, like to lie or are just a shady individual, you probably suffer from bitchassness.
