What the heck does this title even mean? It's a prank phone call gone wrong. Or rather, right. It couldn't be a prank because Skype obviously shows who's calling who. And who were we calling? You'll just have to listen to the bagopoop to find out. Also, snippets of GDC news and listener questions. What was our favorite news? Still Alive in Rock Band? Gears of Woah 2? The half-assed announcement of Portal 2? The fact that you can shoot Uwe Boll in Postal 3? Hmm. Tony bows out for this episode, but our prank phone call means that we do have a third snake head for a healthy 20 or so minutes. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the ex-lax.
