  • The Plight Of The Modern Gamer
    This week Lando and I are discussing the nightmare that faces  the
    modern gamer, especially someone like Lando who is trying to get back into
    condoles after years without having one. Between hardware failures, a lack of
    software and the overall expense that is now necessitated by consoles doubling
    as computers the average person faces a tall order in selecting a platform.
    What happened? How did we go from the NES to this? We've got a few theories, as
    well as the usual criticism, so come on in and watch the fireworks.

  • Caveat Emptor
    After our last two lighter shows, we're getting into some meatier
    material as we mull over the concept of ownership. What does it mean to own
    anything? Has the idea of possession changed as our society has evolved, or is
    it merely our perception of ownership that has changed? Like so many of our
    topics that cover the less tangible issues, this one  becomes more complex
    the harder we look into it. In the end, is ownership even a viable concept?
    By the way, forgive the audio quality on my end, I had my mic positioned all
    wrong and never even noticed it.

  • Ozone Runway (Part II)
    And here's the finisher to our massive fashion show, as twisted as it is.
    We've saved our big fight for the end, which gives you some insight into how we
    approach our movie superhero entertainment. As always, we steer the train off
    the tracks a few times but we eventually get to the station. Enjoy!

  • Ozone Runway (Part I)
    Man, we got a big show for you this week and next. What started as a
    possible follow-up to our iconic weaponry show ended up as a massive deep dive
    into the memorable clothing that colors so many forms of our popular
    entertainment. We knew this would be a long one, but I don't think either of us
    expected over 4 hours of time devoted to clothing. It's a fun ride though, and
    like so many of our 'lighter' shows we butt heads about some of the most inane
    things imaginable. Enjoy the first half of the show, and as always let us know
    what you think!

  • A Clockwork Universe
    For the last week of my existence as a bachelor, we're examining an idea
    spawned by the ongoing struggle of how to approach the environment. Would the
    environment, and our world in general, benefit if we began to take a more
    'mechanized view' of how things work? Aren't there advantages to approaching
    life as a series of systems, similar to the mechanics of a car or a computer?
    We break down why we think that the 'mechanized view' in all things might help
    us reach what is truly essential to anything in in life: balance.

  • Scratching The Surfaces
    This week we're talking about what seems to be the latest trend in
    personal computing, the magical touchscreen. Microsoft has their table, the
    iPhone was the rage 2 months ago, and now the seemingly invulnerable iPod has
    gone button-free with the new iTouch. But is the touchscreen the future, or are
    we just seeing the latest in a long line of overhyped but underadopted
    technologies? Will touchscreens dominate our lives from now on, or are we
    looking at another product architecture that will fail to impress the masses?

  • Ban Spider Solitaire
    Now landing midweek, we're delving into the extremely complex topic of
    human reaction. Where do the responses we actively demonstrate every day come
    from? What makes one man cheer the death penalty as justice served and another
    view it as the failure of law? Are these reactions taught or intrinsic? It's a
    road that branches in as many directions as people choose to walk, but we take
    a stab at figuring out some of the signposts along the way.

  • Great Expectations
    Better late than never, this week we're going back a bit to look at the
    extremely incorrect assumptions we made about how our lives would turn out. The
    eccentric, moody artist in the expansive loft who hangs out in coffee houses
    being too cool all day and producing masterworks by twilight. The idea-packed
    writer cranking out brilliant novels by day before  sipping fine wine at
    night and discussing the finer points of Steinbeck and Hemingway. Oh yes, we
    were quite deluded. But why wouldn't we be? Isn't this the ideal we are
    presented? What are the roots of our delusions of grandeur in these careers and
    others, and is there a way to avoid the trap they present? Come with us as we
    balance the myth and the truth of what we expect out of life...see if you hear
    anything that sounds familiar.

  • Godhammers
    Show 55 has Lando and I exploring the iconic weaponry found in popular
    entertainment. Mjolnir, Batman's utility belt, the dual .45s employed by the
    Shadow...it's all here and more as we wind our way through the various
    armaments that our heroes choose. Along the way we find that these weapons are
    both new and old, creative and derivative, mixtures of classic myth and fresh
    creativity. Fire up that Batmobile baby, we're goin' for a ride!

  • Necessary Evil
    This week Lando and I are expanding on an idea that came from the
    preamble of show 53. We're taking that last segment of Lord Acton's famous
    quote and dissecting it, exploring the notion of great men almost always being
    evil men. Is evil a necessity of greatness, or is there something more subtle
    involved in the transition of an individual from meager to mighty?
