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 [...]
It’s yours…….
Dear Leah,
I didn’t quite know how to tell you this so I figured I would just come out with it. I’m pregnant. I’m pretty sure it’s yours. I’m gonna go ahead and blame this on tequila because it seems like a reasonable thing to blame in this situation. Your mom is going to be [...]
PAX, Plague, and Shiny Things
I return from the great event that was PAX 2009. I’ve got lots of stories to tell, lots of avatar t-shirt codes to give away, and a need for some massive cold meds. I managed to avoid the evil H1N1 that struck at PAX but that didn’t keep me from getting a pretty horrible cold [...]
