Episode 3: Baby, Baby, Baby, Oh! (Recorded 3/1/12)

 Introduction:

Welcome

Greetings fellow nerds, it is March 1st, 2012, and welcome to episode #3 of the Instagib podcast, the one stop shop for multiplayer gaming goodness.  My name is Jason Thomas and I'm joined, as always, by the perpetual player 2, Aidan. “I’m plugged in and ready to play! (Aidan)” “That’s what I like to hear. (Jason)” Not only are we here, but we’ve brought guests to enhance your audio experience! First, the cunning, the cruel, the slightly effeminate, Cody.  Also, we have the large, the in charge, the local Bieber fan club president, Etienne.  Cody, Etienne, welcome to Instagib.  ___(guest host responses)____.

We’ve got some great stuff for you this week, including __release day DLC__, __free Killzone_ and __some hot roleplaying action_.
