Join arrr us arrr as arrrr we arrrr read arrrr your arrrr contest arrr entries arrrr aloud! Ok, no more "arrrr" from me. After discussing why Ebert is wrong about his view on games, Resident Evil 5 isn't racist, and Guitar Hero III's newly announced and hot-to-death tracks, we take in Ish's bag o' deuce game and then... read everyone's Pirates Versus Ninjas entry on air! I think we have a few clear winners but we're taking these few days to sleep on it. Look forward to the actual prizes being handed out on Episode 58. In the meantime, enjoy everyone's humorous and valiant attempts at convincing us which pirate or ninja would win control over the whole world. And, Tony finally answers: why all the Sony and PSP hate? Juicy juicy.
Warning: The Legend of Zelda final battle spoilers, in two spots in the podcast. You will hear beeps marking the beginning of each spoiler segment and they last 30 seconds.
Please note: My sound file got terribly warped during the mailbag section, and skips like a scratched CD somehow. So we're using the lower-quality backup file for the mailbag because I'm otherwise unintelligible. Apologies for the quality snafu.
