  • Hammers Hurt, Sinkholes Sink, Lost Luggage, The Tetris that Hates You Back GIS846
    RobChrisRob achieved enough signal integrity to link up to talk about the ISS astronauts having to take cover in their escape pods b/c of another 'Event' in space, we played Super Moxio Bros, a mario clone with graphics and sound effects based on an ancient piece of tech known as a 'typewriter', the gamer who flew a thousand miles to hit a fellow gamer with a hammer, only to be defeated by a parent, Paul Allen's living computer museum is getting sold off, Wizards of the Coast accused of using Hillary as a Paladin model, a giant sinkhole opened up in a soccer field, a korean ISP installed malware on 600k customer PCs to stop bittorrent piracy, a live ranking of airlines by lost luggage... and finally getting the world record in 'Hatetris', the tetris clone that always gives you the worst piece. Chris got a 0. He's doing great.
