To Roger With Love – Episode 63

The fans have been clammoring (clammoring!) for Jim and A.Ron to sing a duet of the inimitable Garth Brook’s “Low Places” for over a year now. Actually, that’s a lie. But! You can still hear it if you stick around after the outro in this week’s episode! Leading up to the big finish, we give a bit of PSN update, I talk gearhead bullshit for a minute, we talk about the local board gaming scene, the mighty THOR not sucking nearly as much as we presupposed, and whether Chris Hemsworth could earn a spot in the badass pantheon.

Mel Gibson and the Magic Marker Kilt – Episode 61

The boys navigate dangerous waters as the PSN outage has been upgraded from a tropical shit storm to a full fledged fecal hurricane. It must be discussed! Jim and A.Ron break it down from a personal, gamer, and professional level. Also, watching a serial killer on a weekly basis has Jim pondering “what makes great TV?” A.Ron urges his fellow geek to live by a few simple economic rules, we celebrate Skynet’s birth day, and close out the cast with a review of Poral 2 from our forum’s own Darth Paxis and some Batmania from Stafa’s corner.

Better Yonder – Episode 60

In this week’s episode, the guys discuss the iPad’s destruction (ha-ha) of the United States economy, SOCOM 4’s furtherance of Madden ’84 policies, and A.Ron’s irrational anti-hoarding packaging problem. If it is a problem. I mean, it’s anti-hoarding, so it can’t all be bad.

Sodium Glow – Episode 59

This week we cover a lot of ground; stand up desks, Vibram Five Finger “shoes”, Cloud Girlfriends, a mini-review of Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch, nerd fitness updates, feedback from our listeners, update on the Blue Yonder Curse, and finally, Jim Jones makes an epic, not-to-be-missed accent debut in this week’s edition of Stafa’s Corner!

Cursed! – Episode 58

You ever feel like some days you just can’t do anything right? You wake up, stub your toe on the bedframe, cut yourself shaving, get your dick and/or vag caught in the zipper, proclaim the 3DS as a revolutionary break through in gaming, and declare nuclear power the safest thing since foam rubber? Yeah, we have days like that. And we record them for posterity.

Salty Freedom – Episode 57

Here’ the deal, loyal listener. I have no idea what this cast is about, cause I wasn’t a part of recording it. I’m sure there will be reprisals from bagging on Jim last week, so no matter what cock-and-bull story they come up with, know this: instead of casting, I was spending quality time with my progeny; introducing Star Wars to him for the first time. Try holding that one against me. Try it! You can’t. You can feel your black shriveled heart swelling 3x too big just thinking about it.

Quarantine – Episode 55

Jim has come down with yet another variation of Pax Pox, and the entire Bald Tower has been partitioned off by the CDC. And then… things kind of got out of hand. Something about generators running out of diesel, an irreversable self-destruct counter, and a high-impulse thermobaric fuel-air explosive consisting of a two-stage aerosol ignition… it’s all very technical, but the upshot is that Peter and I had to go old school and get the damn thing done via Skype.

Steve Jackson Interview – PAX East 2011

We’ve had a crazy weekend so far, and PAX isn’t even over! Join us for a bonus cast covering PAX East 2011, including a great interview of Steve Jackson, of Steve Jackson Games. Designer of GURPS, Munchkin, Zombie and Cthulu Dice, Steve was nice enough to give us about 30 minutes of his time to talk about game developing, table top gaming, and what great new products they’ve been working on, including a version of Munchkin with an Axe Cop theme. Hope you enjoy!

Dick Wolves Hunt in PAX – Episode 53

There’s a buzz in the air. No, it’s not the 2 cups of coffee you just bodyslammed into your bloodstream… or the cocaine. It’s the buzz of PAX! We’re one week out from PAX East 2011. The guys can’t stop thinking about it and now, neither can you. Jim and A.Ron wrestle the Dick Wolves controversy to the ground, pin it, and teach it a lesson before turning their sites on the PAX panels themselves with a rundown of the time-wasters and must-see panels.
