Hey folks, it's podcast time. We are back in our original studio at YOUmedia this week or as we call it the Homeland of Soundproofia. This week we are talking about the "Girlfriend Mode" debacle. In short, it's another discussion about feminism, misogyny and video game culture. Below the SoundCloud player we have links to all of the articles we referenced in the episode. In Personal Choice we talk about our favorite puzzles!

After a couple week break from normal podcasting we return with a rusty yet enjoyable discussion of Stanley Kubrick's 1955 film noir Killer's Kiss. We also introduce a new segment "Soapbox" where we discuss an issue related to film or a film we are not discussing that is important to us. Enjoy!

We held our very first live episode this week at YOUmedia Chicago at the Harold Washington Library Center. We want to thank the audience at YOUmedia for being incredibly awesome and we hope that this is the first in a long line of live episodes. Unfortunately we lost the first half of the podcast due to a computer malfunction but were able to salvage the last portion which was a special personal choice where we suggested two games you should buy and play right now.

We apologize for the less than stellar audio (especially Byrdie who sounds like he is in a wind tunnel). We will try to have much better audio quality next time!

In this podcast we say farewell to Aaron Eckart-Frank who is leaving Chicago and the podcast for Grinnell College. To commemorate his departure we let Aaron run every single segment. That includes a game preview of Spy Party from developer Chris Hecker. Then we talk about the impressive success of the Arma 2 mod Day Z. Finally we finish off the episode with an Olympic themed personal choice. We pick video game characters we would want to see compete in the Olympics. Enjoy!
