The guys get together for a whole mess of gaming discussion: Borderlands 2, FUSE, D&D, Gears of War, Double Fine, KOTOR, The Starship Damrey, and Epic Spell Wars of the Battle Wizards: Duel at Mt.

We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did, and be sure to follow Courtnee on twitter (@Courtnee\_Draper). "Here... Catch!" Rated NA 106

The gang is back at full strength again to talk about the newly announced Xbox One.

On this episode we welcome the awesome Michael Biehn, whom you already know from such films as Terminator, Aliens, and Tombstone. We talk with Michael Biehn about movies, his directorial experience with The Victim, providing his voice to Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, and more. Also, Miellyn Barrows stops by to put up with Scott and Ash, while Matt and Hilary are out; and we told you so about ABC's upcoming TV show, SHIELD. See the future. Rated NA 104

A slow news week can't keep the gang down on this May the Fourth / Free Comic Book Day celebration.

Ash regales us with takes of D&D, and you tell us your go-to fantasy RPG class. Utini! Rated NA 103

The gang is back together again for the first regular podcast of the new Rated NA Century! We talk a little Hero Academy, Nintendo, New Xbox, Beyond: Two Souls, and Oxyana. We review Dark Arisen, Adera (ft. Ali Hillis) and Oblivion. SPOILER ALERT: Bioshock Infinite spoiler talk (54:20 - 1:08:07). Finally, a great NAQOTW where you tell us what you love about where you are! Wish you were here! Rated NA 102 Special thanks to @MrSlikk for the view on 102. Alternate podcast title: Beating the dragon.

We welcome the awesome and talented Ali Hillis back to the podcast. Ali was one of our very first interviews way back in early 2011 (linkage), and for some reason she actually kept in touch. This time around she takes us through her origin story, how she got into acting and video games, and her love of animal rescue. Our chat concludes in a rapid fire session we call the Lightning round... get it?! If you're a fan of Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Star Craft, Kid Icarus, Gears of War, or FUSE then you're probably already a fan of Ali. Finally, Rated NA responds to a challenge of our PC gaming cred. By the goddess! Rated NA 101 If you're a fan of Ali like we are, make sure you follow her on Twitter @missalihillis and harass her on a regular basis.

Episode 100 ! What else is there to say? I couldn't be more proud of how far we've come, more astonished that people listen... and continue to listen, and more energized for what we've yet to create. We forego the usual shenanigans to answer your questions about everything and anything Nerd Appropriate, and look back at the last 100 episodes. Also, in our NAQOTW, your responses to our signature question (we answer it too). Thank you for all of your tweets, likes, comments, and continued support, it means more to us than we can ever express in words. Rated NA 100   Bonus: Haven't deciphered our thinly veiled references to a certain character from a certain sci-fi film? Enjoy this bonus cover art, courtesy of @pL4tiNumfi5t
