Sun, 26 Oct 2008 21:07:08 -0700

This one isn't so much an episode, but rather an important message to our listeners about the state of the show, and some insight into it's future.

In a nutshell, the show is going on hold for the time being, but we'll be back before you know it, and better than ever.

Don't even think about unsubscribing!

Sat, 11 Oct 2008 21:06:17 -0700

Episode 35: Two Four One

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 23:23:08 -0700

smoger and mbstr are back to their usual jive, but dealing with some urban interruptions this time around. Noisy kids, pimped out rides, and even a mystery phone call mar the otherwise serene setting of this episode. mbstr seems strangely obsessed with smoger's relationships or lack thereof. Maybe it's some kind of weird man crush.. you decide! Aside from that banter, we discuss new online Hudson WiiWare titles coming soon, new information on the upcoming Spiderman Web of Shadows game, and cover all the newest releases on the Wii and DS.

NGO Podcast 34: Zombie Drinking Games

Fri, 22 Aug 2008 06:53:33 -0700

mbstr moves into a new house, and we break it in with our first podcast there. No furniture so the sound is a bit echoed, but we also got goofy once the fresh paint fumes seeped into the room, making for lots of hilarious, nonsensical banter and the creation of our very own Zombie Drinking Game.

Episode 32: Squidleg

Fri, 01 Aug 2008 06:34:28 -0700

mbstr tried his hardest to derail the show this week. He showed up completely uninformed and uninterested, and fumbled around with his Zune the entire time.

This episode is live from Vegas, and as you might guess,.. it has almost nothing to do with video games. This is clearly our most off topic episode ever, but listen up anyway! mbstr's audio sucks because his laptop is a vintage 1978 model that can't properly handle audio.

Not too much news this week, but what was there invoked some good discussion. mbstrlbstr is slacking on his show prep, and the new releases are totally chock full of Z's. That means they're extreme. And when I say extreme, I mean shitty.
