• Drunkest Man ever (thanks @particle_6)

In this week’s podcast (from mid-october, I know, leave me alone. no really lay off.) we talked about our weeks (always awesome), Google Wave, Geeky Music, among other things. I hope you enjoy this podcast as much as I didn’t listen to it.

“The Netflix One” which is also “The New Video Games One”. We certainly loves us some games and video content, and this week, that’s about all we talk about. So if you hate those things, you probably hate us, so just stop reading this and go away. If you’re still here be prepared to enjoy a lively discussion on TV/Netflix/Hulu/Etc. and then a “borked”-style preview of the Fall 2009 video game releases.
