Well, I gotta say listeners this show seemed on the precipice of being lost to the digital ether there during the editing process. One of us ended up with a corrupted file after outputting and while we’re not naming names (cough, Dan) luckily a re-export cleared up the wacky problems.

cue sigh of relief.

Turns out THE MACHINE WILL NOT BE STOPPED.

Intro Start – 3:20

What’cha Been Doing? 3:21 – 38:04
Ryan broke out his PSP, and once powering it back from the grave took a shot at the Patapon 3 multiplayer demo and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. Then, since it’s Wipeout…. Ryan ventures into the hell’s den known as Sony Home to enjoy the new Wipeout Space.

Dan talks about the enjoyment of not knowing how an MI game plays out as he checks out the new special edition Monkey Island 2 that came out last week. Then he and the wife enjoy the hell out of Lego Harry Potter. And no Dan list would be complete without a little tabletop action and this week it’s Zombie Dice (full review on Friday!).

Kevin jumped all up on some Back to the Future 2, and having never seen it before schooled us on some of the things that actually came true from it.

Geek Spew 38:05 – 1:01:51
Kevin educates and astounds with tales of the Canon Wonder Cam concept. You’ll never be out of focus or caught not smiling again! Dan brings info about the latest TF2 update as well as good news for Android phones as a gaming platform. Ryan brings the megaton topic this week that was the kerfluffle of Blizzard’s toe dip into social networking and the forum riot that ensued. In the end we all agree on this one, it’s a huge fucking mess that sadly isn’t going to just go away. It’s like BP took over Battle.net cleanup over here.

5 Hit Combo! 1:01:52 – 1:26:45 (Two of us battle for supremacy as we compare and debate our Top 5 lists. The winner plays again the next show, while the loser can only sit and judge as a new challenger appears! Play along with us, choose who you think does a better job.)

• Top 5 nerd pranks you could conceivably pull on friends
• Ryan vs. Kevin, Dan judging. This was a tough topic and as always it’s insanely interesting.
• Next Topic: Top 5 things that today’s teenagers probably don’t know about that they should. I.E. Hey you kids get offa my lawn! (from listener @Gloqwi on twitter)

Homework 1:26:46 – 1:36:23
This week we recap and discuss Dr. Who Series 1 (2005), Episodes 1-6 (discs 1 & 2). Varying levels of enjoyment here, but I think we all agree on one point… it ain’t no BSG.
Next homework assignment: Deathspank (XBLA and PSN) Releases July 14th. Download it and play it on your console of choice, then meet back here in two weeks to discuss it!

Listener Feeback/Outro/Goodbye 1:36:24 – 1:38:38
