To celebrate the release of the long, long-awaited strategy game Stacraft II, Dom gathered a crack team of experts: Lawrence, Danny, and someone who is Hung. Hear Lawrence's Battle.net war stories about being a jerk to confused newbies! Listen to Danny as he talks about the game mere minutes after touching it for the very first time! And who's Hung?

(Note: This podcast was recorded before the Starcraft II beta ended)

Shakespeare

This week we get a bit cultured with Shakespeare, a topic many literature fans have been asking for and one that Dom got overly excited for. We discuss our favorite works, our thoughts on various adaptations, and get derailed every once in a while. It's a long one, but it's also got a lot of friendly banter. Enjoy!

We go through pretty much just the Mailbag in this episode. Albert's sexy voice is requested once more. Soung gets a little pride boosting. Kevin mentions his blind-box figure strategy. And you might also want to stick around for a discussion on food poisoning and Danny's real-life Shenmue experience!

Serenity (a look at the Whedonverse)

suberunker — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 06:54:14 +0000

[We're recording at a new place and there's a heavy level of echo. It doesn't hurt the sound too much, but it does sound weird at first. We should have this fixed by next week.] We go with a six-man discussion and take a look at one of the bigger topics on our list: Serenity. We made sure to take this opportunity to examine all of Joss Whedon's works and have a great time doing so. We hope that you find it fun too!

Stuff & Suggestions #21: Tread the Fine Water

We had some awesome ribs for dinner (as well as some beers), so some of us (Kevin) were a bit more casual during the show than others. Regardless, we went through a ton of your emails and suggestions to give you more of that on-the-side, super-casual, sometimes-ridiculously-off-topic Stuff segment mayhem that you crave. Enjoy!

Scholastic

[Warning: There is some discussion at the end of the show that is a bit more PG-13, though it's not like something you wouldn't hear on the radio or on TV.] We finally get back on track with the schedule with our look at the very established childrens' book publisher of our childhood, Scholastic. Not only did they provide many of the books we read in our youth, but they're also the publisher of the very popular Harry Potter series that many of our listeners asked us to discuss. We kept this one brief, but there's a little bit of silliness once we realized we were near the end.

This week it's just three of us chilling on a Sunday afternoon. We go through a huge pile of mail that you sent us and we made sure we enjoyed it. Thanks for writing in and we hope you continue to write in more!
