Games Bring Hope

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

Howdy Inc. is putting together a 24 hour game marathon on November 28th. Starting at 8am and running for a strait 24 hours we will be playing all kinds of games. Video games, board games, card games… any type of game you can think of.

But, that’s not the cool part. We are hoping that you will help out and make a donation to our Games Bring Hope marathon. Every donation that we get will be used to buy something great for the Child Life Department at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. Every single penny that you could spare will go a very long way.

You can donate the base amount which is $1 per hour that we last during the marathon. Or, you can donate any amount that fits your budget. Every single person that donates will get there name put on our website as well. Once we have our marathon completed and collect all of our donations we will be going out and spending all of the money on new games to take to Children’s Hospital. Just in time for Christmas.

We understand that times are hard with money right now, but we have to remember that there are kids out there that have it much harder than us. This is our way of helping them in there time of need.

If you have any questions feel free to contact us at gamesbringhope@gmail.com We will answer any questions you may have.

Also, if you would like to join us for the marathon please stop by and have some fun with us. If you want to hang out for 24 hours of just stop by to say hello, we would love it. We are also going to stream the entire 24 hours on Ustream, so that everybody in the world can see what we are doing.

Square2: 19

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

We had a few problems with the show this week, due to Skype. So there is a couple audio problems with the show, a couple sound drops and such like that. But, overall it’s only a few seconds out of the whole show.

This week we talk about the dude that leaked some of Chinese Democracy, news about Fedor going to UFC and a whole lot more.

Sorry, but there is no USTREAM video this week either. It will be back next week though.

Square2: 18

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

This weeks episode of Square2 marks a couple firsts for the show. This is the first show that we have done over Skype and it’s also the first show we’ve done without drinking beer during the show.

We really hope you can give us some good feedback on this one. With it being something totally different than we’ve ever done before we would really like to know what you think of it.

Also, because we did not do the show together there is no USTREAM feed of the show to post. Sorry about that, that is something else we’ll be figuring out for future episodes.

Have Another: Hefeweizen

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

Another episode of Have Another is now available. This week we drink and rate Samuel Adams’ Hefeweizen.

Here is what Sam Adams has to say about the beer:
Samuel Adams® Hefeweizen beer is a traditional spin on a classic American craft brewing style. The brewers of Samuel Adams® used both malted and unmalted wheat, and two row Pale barley for a clean malty, cereal note. This bright, fruity wheat ale is unfiltered, retaining a natural haze from malt proteins, crisp, bright flavors of wheat, and fresh, fruity ester complexity from our proprietary ale yeast. Accentuated with Noble Spalt-Spalter hops, Samuel Adams® Hefeweizen has an elegant and pleasant bitterness, finishing smooth and clean.

Here is what we have to say about the beer:

Also this week we feature our new theme song called ‘The Pub Song’ performed by long time Howdy Inc. friend Keezie. It’s a very cool song, and we’re happy to have it on the show. Keezie somehow always finds a way to get himself into just about all of the different Howdy Inc. shows!

Sunday, July 19th, 2009

Come hang out with the Howdy Inc. crew this Saturday, July 25th at 10.00pm and watch the Blu-Ray Director’s Cut of The Watchmen with us. We’ll be watching in full 1080p HD with DTS-HD audio.

Stop by, watch a very awesome movie with us, drink some beers and have a good time.

We’ll probably hang out afterwards, drink some more beers, maybe record a new episode of The Howdy Show and maybe even stream it all live on USTREAM!

It’s gonna be an awesome time, don’t miss it.

Square2: 17

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

This weeks episode of Square2 was awesome. We set up all of our equipment outside on Dave’s balcony and recorded the show from out there. It was so much fun that we didn’t want to stop talking. So, we ended up with a 90 minute episode, our longest show to date.

We had so much fun recording it, hopefully you guys will have just as much fun listening to it.

The Howdy Show: Fire Eaters

Monday, July 13th, 2009

Do you remember the last time Howdy Inc. released an episode of The Howdy Show? Well, we don’t so if you do remember, please send us an email and let us know.

Finally, we go back to our roots and give you a brand new episode of the show that started it all. If it wasn’t for THS this site, this post, none of this, would even exist today. So, we bring you a brand new episode to go along with our brand new website.

Enjoy it, it’s a pretty hot episode…

Have Another: Beach Bum

Monday, July 13th, 2009

The newest show from the Howdy Inc. crew is all about beer. Beer tastings and reviews, beer news, beer games… everything beer.

Our debut episode features Liz pouring up a nice cold Michelob Beach Bum for the testers Brandon, Adam and Dave.

Another Site

Friday, July 10th, 2009

I can’t even count how many Howdy Inc. sites that I have worked on over the years. The amount of sites that people have actually seen is probably only about half that I have worked on. Problem is, I get started on one, get tired of looking at it while I’m working on it, then assume other people won’t like the way it looks to. So, then it gets the delete button. Well, not actually I keep all of them for some reason.

But, I really like this new site. It’s completely perfect for what we are doing right now. Every bit of content is on here that I want on here, and it’s laid out very nice. I chose to use Wordpress for our site this time around instead of doing it myself, old school html style. Wordpress is the way to go for us right now. For one… it’s free. And two, it’s open source. Both of those things are pretty important to

me at the moment. Especially open source.

I hope everybody enjoys the new site. I know I’ve said a million times that we’ll keep the site updated alot more, and that is the plan, again, for this one.

Howdy Inc. is rocking right now. We ain’t had this much cool stuff going on in a very long time, so I’m having a blast with it. We got a new show that we are going to film tonight and I can’t wait to release it. It is not a podcast so we’re finally doing something different. We’re going back to our roots and doing a video show, I am very excited about it. And, there is a few other things we are talking about as well that I’ll give more information on as we figure out more details. It’s good times, so stay tuned.
