Today marked the biggest expansion ever to the biggest game ever, in the history of MMORPGs. Blizzard tore their entire World of Warcraft apart and re-shaped it, and even destroyed and revamped a number of game-defining mechanics.

What impact can this have on the gaming market as a whole? What’s the scuttlebutt from the trenches? Worth the price for a returning absentee from the land of Azeroth, or better to stay gone? And how does Blizzard manage to keep their siren call going after after more than 7 years of production?

Tonight is a smorgasbord of internet failures! We promised to talk about NASA’s “ground-breakingly awesome” announcement and boy we’ll do so!

And speaking of big announcements and failures, OnLive today announced their new “unlimited play” plan. Wah wah. But hey, yknow, we still think OnLive is rad, and we’re gonna tell you why. Then we’ll tell you about a major game-changer that’s landed in Star Trek Online, which we’ll spend our weekend playing with, AND we’ll tell you why this has the potential to change the landscape of online gaming in general.

Back in July, a little film was released by the name of Inception. The boys at J@N gave the movie a brief review at the time, but now it’s time to dig into the MEAT. Is the movie too smart? Is it symbolic of something more than dreams? What does that freaky ending mean!?

During our review we’re likely to dig into the ideas of lucid dreaming and why it is that humans feel the need to fall unconscious and hallucinate vividly for several hours a day, and why Inception is filled with bad science despite being a good film.

Waddya know, we take a few days off and the internet melts. First we get news of government seizures of questionable domain names, then the Net Neutrality issue boils over into a great big mess of internet-rage over a disagreement between Comcast and Level 3.

Well we’re back, and ready to give you our take on both of these situations, as well as share some interesting tidbits that seem to be getting glossed-over in the mainstream news.

Tonight we share insight as to how the traditions began, horror stories that’ve cropped up over the years, and wrap up the episode by covering Cyber Monday!

So, it snowed in the Seattle area. And as happens every year, everyone in the area forgot how to operate a car. Tuning into the news to watch folks skidding on ice, sliding into ditches, and complaining about the delays is usually one of the highlights of the first snowfall in this region.

BUT NO. This morning, North and South Korea decided to SHOOT at eachother, causing a flare-up in ACTUAL news coverage that’s gotten in the way of enjoying our annual “Metro On Ice” showing. So you get to share our pain. We’ll be discussing the Korean conflict as well, cuz we just can’t get enough!

It’s a ridiculously huge money-making franchise that even rivals that of Star Wars and Star Trek. No other series of young-adult books have ever matched it — even The TWILIGHT Saga.

As the first half of the final installment of Harry Potter lands in theaters this weekend, tune in to hear the thoughts of the J@N crew on this phenomenon, and the impact it’s having on the world.

Tonight’s show ROCKS! Wait, wh- oh we’re TALKING about rocks. Space rocks, to be exact. This week marks the high-point of this year’s Leonid Meteor Shower, and we’re gonna tell you all about our space rock stories, and include some tips on getting the best view.

We’ll also share some exciting space news about near-miss asteroids, Japanese space probes and anti-matter! Get SPACEY with us!

The recent introduction of full body x-ray scanners to several airports around the USA has gotten several folks up in a stink over it. It’s an invasion of privacy! A violation of 4th Amendment rights! Stop checkin’ out my junk!

We’re here to tell you why folks be hatin’ and what they’re doing about it, as well as lay out some truth on your faces and give you the skinny behind why this whole ordeal is even going down.

Tonight we discuss Amazon.com pulling down the new controversial book The Pedophile’s Guide to Love & Pleasure and if this is a sensible and responsible move, or censorship of freedom of speech!

Plus – Word is the movie theaters are investigating farcical recognition and behavior pattern monitoring to detect movie piracy in theaters… But how do we feel about the theaters watching us like that? Is this another case of the innocent majority paying for the sins of the minority? We debate!
