Otaku 5-0: "Bonus" Episode

Aloha everybody,

After looking at the episodes in our archives, I was surprised to discover that there is one episode there hasn't yet been posted to this website. Let me take this opportunity to rectify that by presenting the special "bonus" episode, originally intended for individuals on our (now-defunct) podcast mailing list.

This episode is the first (and so far, only) appearance of Neko-X, the podcast Video Game Correspondent. The episode also features our first interview segment, where we talk about the organization that Neko-X runs (The Hawai'i Video Gaming League) and their efforts to bring positive change to our local video-gaming community.

Producer's Note: This episode is of a lesser recording quality than previous episodes. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to our listeners, but rest assured that this problem has been (in some ways) rectified.
