This podcast is really late, but it's also a really good episode, so just friggin' listen to it. We blame Audacity and computer problems that rendered half of our initial edit useless.

We talk about reviews and the internet frothy fanboys that read / use them for the wrong reasons; some trash talk from Master Will Wright about what IS and ISN'T next-gen; et cetera, yadda, oh just listen to it already. Oh, and bag of deuce. Can't get enough of that. Anyway, hurry up and get on with it before it gets old and crusty. By posting this so late we're not giving it a healthy-enough gestation period, so gobble it up before it becomes irrelevant - which is to say, never, because we are always non-irrelevant. We rule you and your little dog too. And so forth. Blah blah. Transmission obo.
