Description

<p>This was a bit of an odd week for us. Not a lot of playing games and not a lot of news. (That interested us.) But the show must go on. And really, “I have to talk about videogames but I’m not completely prepared” is about the most awesome problem you can have in this life. I mean, it’s a pretty mild affliction compared to hunger, ticks, migraines, or stubbing your toe.</p>
<p>Hosts: Shamus, Josh, <a href="http://www.chocolatehammer.org/">Rutskarn</a>, <a href="http://www.errantsignal.com/blog/">Chris</a>, <a href="http://bluescreenofawesome.com/">Jarenth</a>.</p>
<p>Additional note: <a href="?p=19757" title="Coming Soon: Tomb Raider">I mentioned before</a> that the new season of Spoiler Warning would begin this week. Various technology problems have pushed that back. We’re basically throwing out our entire production pipeline for Spoiler Warning and starting over. We’ll try again next week.</p>
