James "jimb0" Logan, the purveyor of Nerd Alert, the video revolution found on such establishments as YouTube and Gamespot, joins us -- his hair intact -- for our discussion about the petition to end Uwe Boll's filmmaking career, single- versus multi-player games, Rock Band pricing, and a whole new host of bad segues. What's up with Microsoft, Blu-Ray and Wii-remote ripoffs? Did Activision really mess up Guitar Hero III's DLC, or was that even the intention in the first place? What's up with Games for Windows Magazine shutting down and EGM head honcho Dan Hsu calling it quits? How short does an opening sentence have to be for Slunks to read it and understand it (just kidding Boso)? Which "sanbox" game will be the game to beat in the coming months? All that, your daily allotment of fiber, singing monkeys, and more in the Trigames.NET podcast. Order your episode today, for free! OR DIE!
Sign a petition -- see if Boll stops making movies!
