All you long-standing GameHounds listeners will be pleased to know that, this week, GamerEdie Sellers holds down the fort solo with special guest Elaine Garbarine (aka: etDragon) from Some Other Podcast.

You'll be thrilled because you'll remember that Elaine was the partner in crime with Edie in the infamous Estrogen and Alcohol episode, wherein both got extremely ripped on the podcast.

This time, they're a year older and a year wiser. They only brought caffeinated drinks. But there was so much news this week, there was no shortage of sweet, sweet gaming-news lovin'... with a girlie twist.

They bring home the bacon, fry it up in the pan... you know the rest.

No, Edie and Commander Tim didn't record this episode in an aviary. It's just that, only after we recorded, did we notice that we had a third host: The bird.

And we also had a bunch of other guests. Because it was another Guest Roulette night due to a scheduling snafu with the Very Special Guests we promised last week. But no worries, we did chat about these topics:
