Hey!  It’s an episode!  A swarming pile of potential controversy!  Enjoy!

We talk about games and lousy news this week, and a sick Alex hopped up on Nyquil gets surly, hence the explicit tag.

Alex is trying to overcome Fat Gamer Syndrome by playing The Biggest Loser on the Kinect.  Will he be booted off the game he paid for?  He’s also been disappointed by Deadly Pemonitions, a B-game that ended up providing an F-experience.

Jonathan’s only had time to get in some more time on Kirby’s Epic Yarn.  The co-op multiplayer isn’t as compelling or entertaining as New Super Mario Bros. Wii, but it’s still fun, and the game is still challenging.  Jonathan gives it a verdict of Purchase.

Sam talks about finishing up Dead Space 2, starting up Dragon Age Origins… again, and some thoughts he has on the differences between Assassin’s Creed 2 vs. Brotherhood.  He’s also picked up a chunky hard drive for his 360, and Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, much to Alex’s chagrin.

Following the game talk, the guys realize they’ve got more time to fill, and so talk about the death of Guitar Hero, and the death of satire.  Alex gets even more surly.

Finally, we discover that it’s a terrible idea to play Name That Game when the host of the game is high on Nyquil.  It gets painful.
