Be prepared for an epically inappropriate podcast this week as the ladies reunite post-PAX (and post-Hamthrax as well). Then again, if you aren’t usually prepared for such things, we’d be pretty surprised. You HAVE listened to us, right? This week we chat about Scribblenauts’ problems with genitalia, what we would do with EA’s $200 check, and zombies. Aren’t there always zombies? We also want your suggestions on a few things, so listen in to find out what they are.

I would like reviews and I’m not picky about how they come. BUT I don’t care if you play the games in a timely fashion. Infact I wish you wouldn’t….that’s why I love your podcasts so much because you wildly love (or not) the games you play. I never pay attention to reviews by the major video game websites because the reviewers are “forced” to play the games so fast and in many ways they sorta end up being bitter and ironic about games. Does that make sense. I like it that you talk about games 7 years old, strange japanese games and contempary games that are good enough to get your interest. Play at your own damn speed, have fun and tell us about it, we can get crammed reviews in a dozen places.
I’d like to vote for talking reviews in the podcast or in an extra podcast but if that takes too much of your time then text reviews are fine. Don’t get burnt out…you guys are doing a great fun job as it is.
Of course I would like to suggest a blog post on good books now and then as like Leah I loves the reading.
An internet handshake until I figure out if you like the internet hugs from the lesbo’s
We are 100% non-prejudiced about our hug sources. In fact, I almost named an episode “Whores For Hugs” until Elaine convinced me that iTunes would probably have an issue with it…
please stop talking about people having giant hard drives, and “stuffing them full of stuff.” Quite possibly on level with cake and a certain princess.
Suggestion for a horrible vidya game movie: Double Dragon; my dad is an extra in it; look for the guy standing on a car, squinting through a ninja mask. He even gets a close-up. Yes, yes, he’s young, whatevs, sure, I’m young, ess tee eff you, buggoff, etc.
Also, I’m the guy that sent in Storm Huggle last week.
