Incoming Pull has leveled-up! To fit in with the range of topics that we cover on our weekly radio show, we have decided to change the program and site's name to 16bit Radio. The new site — which is going live today — better represents what we have been trying to do here at Incoming Pull. Given that we highlight and discuss more than just MMORPGs, we found it important to give the radio show and site a name that would better reflect our content, thus 16bit Radio was born.Upon visiting the new site, readers will notice that we now have different pages for game reviews, radio show notes, opinions and more. We also are streaming a chosen video game trailer, as well as a Quarter-Note Corner short. Now for the details.
Quarter-Note Corner is a feature that I started at Incoming Pull a couple of months ago. It has either included interviews with musicians or a short review on a particular piece. Aside from that, there are also full reviews that people can listen to. 16bit Radio is continuing this feature and expanding upon it. As you will see upon visiting the site, the sidebar on the right contains a media box with two tabs — Featured Trailer and Quarter-Note Short. Both of those will be updated regularly, giving readers something new to watch and listen to each week. We will be archiving some of the old Quarter-Note Corners from Incoming Pull on 16bit Radio.
Another feature that we started at Incoming Pull was the iPlay! feature, which included me playing through some classic video games in an unscripted and live setting. I've gotten some very positive feedback regarding this feature (I'm glad my misery amuses you), so we will continue this feature as we move to 16bit Radio. You'll be able to see future gameplay features in our 16bit Radio Arcade section. We will be archiving some of the old gameplay videos from Incoming Pull on 16bit Radio.
Admittedly, the focus of the change is centered around the evolution of the radio show. Since we have leveled up, we will be able to have guest interviews and a stronger program in general. But also, the site will be more media-driven. This means more videos and more music. More importantly, we will be making it even easier to listen to us live! Each Wednesday night (9 p.m. EST) visitors to the site will see a "Listen Live" icon appear at the top of the 16bit Radio Web site. Clicking on this allows visitors to instantly listen to us, streamlining the experience for all of our listeners.For anyone who is currently following us on Twitter and Facebook, please follow the links at the top of 16bit Radio to continue following us under our new name. Also, please let us know what you think about the new changes and any topics or videos you'd like us to cover or that you want to see by emailing us at 16bitradio@gmail.com.

Maybe the guy who keeps saying PC gaming is dead hasn't looked at a console lately. Online functionality, keyboard attachments, Internet browsers, Twitter, Facebook and LastFM -- hey, who turned my console into a PC?
