As some of you know, we have this thing called the Pants Digest, a weekly email newsletter that we put together to let you know about things going on on the network. Due to Evan’s wedding, we put the newsletter on hold for a bit. But I am happy to announce that next Monday, November 7th, Pants Digest returns with new features. The first will be an exclusive deal on select merchandise. What is it? The only way to find out is sign up and find out next week.

We’ve also got some other ideas like Ask A Gangster, Favorite Fan and more coming, plus all the show highlights and sponser and event info you’ve come to expect. If you are a fan of Fancy Pants Gangsters, you should really sign up. It’s better than a kick in the face, we promise.

Courtesy of our friends at Relic and THQ, we’ve got 5 Steam codes for the new Warhammer 40k game Space Marine.

But life isn’t easy in the grim darkness of the far future, so if you want to win, we need you to be creative. Your holy mission is to come up with a Space Marine Chapter that would accept the YAGS crew. If you are unfamiliar with Space Marine naming, think football teams named by theater majors, or you can get inspiration here. We’ll pick the best and announce them on next week’s show, so you will need to enter by 5PM CST on Wednesday, September 14th to be eligible.

Those of you who follow the various feeds and friend pages of our erstwhile show Twin Cities Tank may have been a bit shocked to see a brand new episode appear down the pipe. Well it’s not terribly new, having been recorded in March, but it’s new to you guys. Pete & Brent got sucked into that terrible pit called Real Life, which made producing the show a bit tricky. But luckily for everyone, the guys are coming back to Fancy Pants Gangsters!

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be posting the backlog of shows created before the Great Tank Drought began, and starting September 7th, TCT will be bringing all new shows to the internet on the first Wednesday of every month. There will be some minor changes, but everyone who dug the raunchy humor, comedian and musician interviews, and everything that made Twin Cities Tank one of our favorite shows to distribute won’t be disappointed.

So welcome back Pete And Brent by flooding tct@fancypantsgangsters.com or the various Facebooks and Twitters with your love. Just watch for Brent though, he can be a bit handsy.

Huzzah and cheer, for our two newest shows Locust Lecture and Out Of Step are now available on iTunes! We’ve got the links below for clickage. Be sure to subscribe and review the shows, it helps our rankings and our exposure. Thanks in advance!

Locust Lecture

Out Of Step

Some of you may be aware of Extra Life. For those that aren’t, it’s a yearly charity where gamer participate in 24 hours of gaming to raise money for Children’s Miracle Network hospitals. This year, the Yet Another Gaming Show team will be putting our bodies and minds to the test for the children.

The main date for the marathon is October 15th. Unfortunately for us, this is also the date of Evan’s wedding, which would otherwise occupy most of the YAGS crew. We are still working out details to do the marathon sometime before the 15th, so stay tuned to the show and the website for more details.

How you can help now is by signing up to sponsor the Yet Another Gaming Show team and pledge at least a buck for each hour we game (that’s $24 for you math majors out there). 100% of all the proceeds will be donated to the Children’s Miracle Network, and it’s 100% tax deductable.

We were going to do this last year, but fate conspired against us. Luckily we are 1 year stronger, so I have no doubt that we can make a real impact this year. Thanks in advance for your support, and keep an eye on the site for more information.
