I’m afraid this isn’t going to be a very interesting post.
I say this because I’ve made this declaration before…. or, well, a version of it, anyway. It’s no secret to anyone that I have a bit of a backlog problem. Everyone has flaws, okay? I’ve even tried, on this very site, methods of spurring myself [...]

Hospital for iPods: Milliamp review
I can’t be the only one to find themselves in this situation. My iPod, a 30GB 5th generation black iPod Video, bought in May of 2006, had developed a problem – the headphone socket only producing sound via the left channel – due to nothing more than normal wear and tear, and it was naturally [...]
The Hiatus Drama Continues….
Okay this month blows. I don’t know any better way to say it. Due to epic snow Leah and I have been unable to record. We are trying to get you a delicious show over this weekend if the internet will cooperate with us enough to make that happen. For now you should consider buying [...]
Back To Rapture
As we’ve mentioned before, both Elaine and I were huge fans of the first Bioshock, so of course, being the good little consumer whores that we are, we both indulged in the collector’s edition of the second installment, which launched today. I imagine that many of you may have also picked up this gem, but [...]
Some Other Hiatus, Part 2: No, We Didn’t Die
Yeah, we know you’ve been waiting very patiently for a new hour of us being awesome. I promise we’ll be back next week, barring any further work emergencies/life-threatening illnesses/zombie attacks. In the meanwhile, please enjoy this Jesse and the Rippers video:

Sacred Cow of Duty 4: Opinionated Warfare
Nobody bats an eyelid if you say you don’t like Dragon Quest, or FIFA, or Gran Turismo, or Civilization, or World of Warcraft, or The Sims, or any number of other games or series’ that sit on or near the top of the heaps of their respective genres. Even if you like the genre overall, but there’s still this one marquee franchise you don’t care for, your peers probably don’t give you too much flak about it. They put it down to individual taste, and go on with their days. Sometimes, though, there is the sacred cow – the enshrined game that must not be treated with anything less than reverence.
Some Other Handheld: Atari Lynx, 20 Years On
Lost in the flap over the 20th anniversaries of the Nintendo Game Boy and Sega Genesis/Mega Drive in 2009 was the 20th anniversary (last month, in fact) of the Atari Lynx, the second-to-last console to carry the ill-fated Atari brand. The Lynx was, and remains, one of the finest examples of a machine that was both truly excellent and far too fatally flawed to succeed.
Some Missing Podcast
We hate to have to do this but it looks like there will be no podcast this week. Elaine’s job required super long shifts this week and she and Leah just couldn’t get the time out to record a show. The show will return at the normal time next Friday. Until then why not check [...]
