It's a Fleshpound! Recorded 3/22/2012
Introduction:
Welcome
Greetings fellow nerds, it is March 22nd, 2012, and welcome to episode #5 of the Instagib podcast, the one stop shop for multiplayer gaming goodness. This week’s show is brought you by my burning desire to see a Hunger Games themed FPS mod. 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)”
We’ve got some great stuff for you this week, including Blizzard news, zombies and, as always, fragging.
