Read MoreI know what you’re thinking. This is the Blue Yonder crew. I’m NOT listening to any damn thing that is tagged “watersports!” I know! I know. But listen, it’s not about what you’re thinking. Mostly not. Maybe a little? But it’s totally in a video game context, so I’m sure you can deal. If not, I have several really excellent therapists I can refer you to.
Read MoreWhoa, whoa! Check out the big brains on Jim and A.Ron! We do the damn thing on technological singularities, the e-novella Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect, discuss the Little Big Planet 2 demo, touch ever so lightly on minecraft, declare total victory over Unwarranted Self Importants, and do some listener feedback. There’s some hot pillow biting action too. Something for everyone! Oh, and Amish Friendship Bread is a real thing. And terrifying.

Our old buddy Jim might have crossed the line in this one, but I try my best to keep things professional. Even when he got a bit fresh and grabby at that one point.

Read MoreThe guys get formal and get geeky in this week’s episode. Up front is a lengthy discussion of gaming mice, as Jim breaks down every aspect of the oft-overlooked HID-Compliant device. Breaks it down into its constituent atoms. Breaks it down so it’ll never get back up.
Read MoreA. Ron is back from the isle, soggy Game Informer in hand, to join Jim for the video game square down. What games have we been playing? What 2011 games are we excited for? What big games do we have no interest in? What does caffeine withdrawal feel like? Answer these questions and throw in a bit of funny and you have episode 40 of Blue Yonder.
