We’re back! In this thrilling episode we discuss:
1) The 3D movie tax. Now that every movie is going 3D, every movie ticket automatically becomes $2.50 more expensive. Lame!
2) The Apple iPad. What and who is this for?
3) Actors who haven’t lived up to their potential AKA Come on Dwayne Johnson, pick up a machine gun already!

It’s that time of the year again! In this Christmas special podcast we have our long-gesturing “Mel Gibson’s Nativity Story” intro (not for the easily offended), followed by each of our picks for:
Finally we spend a far amount of time discussing the most revolutionary, woodenly acted, game-changing, generically plotted, astounding movie of all time AVATAR! Enjoy…

For additional fun, here’s a link to Jones’ review of “Avatar” on his website.
In this podcast we discuss game ratings and the double standards that exist between that and movies, morality in games and how the advanced storytelling can affect the way we feel, and finally we go on for quite a while about how the government / nation should get back into the space race.
We’re back again! In the last podcast we forgot to talk about the Xbox Dashboard update beta that Jones is participating in. Thus, we cranked out this new podcast quickly so we could discuss these changes before the update goes live.
We also – once again – discuss how Robert Zemekis needs to ditch the motion capture and make real movies again, other things we’re tired of in movies, and of course Modern Warfare 2.
Hey we’re back on a sort-of-regular schedule again! (Must be all the fiber)
In this episode we discuss:
We actually rambled on for quite a while in this podcast and completely forgot to talk about the new Xbox Live update which Jones has had for a while. If possible we will try and get the next podcast done before that actually comes out so we’ll still appear timely.
We’re still here after 62 podcasts with #63! Granted we don’t always get them out as regular as we used to, but hey, they keep coming don’t they?
In this podcast we discuss the Zune HD versus iPod Touch, Zune Marketplace versus iTunes, Uncharted 2 and Jones’ foray into the amazing experience of Fallout 3. As always, enjoy! (Or not, your choice)

Addendum to podcast: Having beaten Uncharted 2 now I’d say it is worth the praise heaped upon it. While the variety of enemies remained lame throughout, the ingenuity and scope of the setpieces is amazing and puts all other action games to shame. Also the storytelling, motion capture and cutscene voice acting is top notch and I really cared about the outcome of the characters.
Ever see the under-appreciated Disney movie “Atlantis”? Well the second half of Uncharted 2 is basically like that movie but in the snow. (That’s meant as a compliment by the way) It’s a great game and one every PS3 owner should seek out. Sony may not have as many exclusives as it once did, but the ones they do have are excellent and more interesting – to me at least – than the exclusive titles seen on the Xbox.
We’re back! In this exciting episode we discuss Wisconsin’s dowloadable content tax (lame), The Beatles Rock Band (awesome) and new upcoming games this fall and spring (numerous).
