On this week's show:

- Oh, Johnny, Did You Back the Wrong Horse

- Darth Palin Fails Her Stealth Roll
- The Worst Week EVER!
- The Phantom Review
- A Vaguely Special Request

We start by discussing McCain's strangely stupid plan to buy up bad mortgages to save the banks as opposed to saving homeowners, and Largo states that he likes big assets. Largo then digresses into how dead he'd be of alcohol poisoning if the phrase “my friends” had been part of the Debate Drinking Game and Sanguinist sets us straight on how the Town Hall setting is supposed to be McCain's strong suit. We then wonder why the Secret Service is failing to arrest the people making terroristic threats against Obama at McCain/Palin events. Sanguinist then gives us his stunningly clever conspiracy theory as to why Bush got the nod in 2000 and McCain had to wait until this election cycle.

We then move on to how Palin's comments about Obama's 'ties' to terrorists and playing the Reverend Wright angle seem a little hypocritical given her ties to the Alaskan secession movement and her own witch-hunting religious figure, then we touch on the guilty verdict in the Troopergate scandal. We also look at the strangely outdated mode of communication, the wink. Then the Boy hatches his plan to use bees to kill his enemies. We try to get back on topic, then get sidetracked again with the use of the Domestic Spying program to observe US Servicemen having phone sex with their wives. We close out the Palin topic by examining just whose bright idea it was to send Palin to Johnstown, PA, and why it's analogous to have Obama address the Klan.

We then watch the Dow go down faster than a well-paid prostitute. Sanguinist uses his part-time job as a barometer to gauge the market, and be place our bets as to how low we can go. Sanguinist takes one of his few remaining chances to take a pot shot at Bush, then we discuss the concept of being able to afford our next war as opposed to borrowing the funds from China. Sanguinist pushes yet again for another political party, and we posit using reality television to narrow down the field for presidential candidates.

Largo then brings up Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (because he's planning to run a Star Wars game), and he and the boys offer a review. Listen and share our pain.

We close the show by beseeching George R. R. Martin to please finish The Song of Fire and Ice before he dies so that we don't have to have someone pull a Robert Jordan on it (or a Stephen King, where he has to get hit by a van before getting back into gear.)

On the docket this week:

-Horrorfest Lives Again

-Palin in Comparison

-No Clever Title for a Bit About Clone Wars

-Feelin' a Little Gamey

Getting off topic right off the bat, Largo brings up the collector's set for Hellboy 2 and bitches a bit about the lack of quality control for the set for the first movie. As Largo searches the net for details about the gimme, the Boy tells a charming tale of a wandering mute who went door to door searching for alcohol. The Boy then goes off on a tangent about ChronoTrigger, inspired by the design for the members of the Golden Army. Largo then segues sideways over onto the Best Buy collector's set for Iron Man and the lack of good advertising on their part, then Sanguinist tells us of his love of tentacles (and we speculate about the Mythbusters making an Overfiend costume.)

We get back on topic by talking about Sci-Fi's airing of (most of) the Horrorfest films from last year (and talk about how this year's Horrorfest doesn't actually happen until next year.) We speculate over why Nightmare Man and Tooth and Nail didn't air, then we wonder if we really need a Saw V (and speculate about what a Saw/Hostel crossover would be called.) We then sidetrack on to... odd money making schemes to be able to afford a trip to Philadelphia for Horrorfest.

We sidetrack on to a story about a researcher who accidentally had a stream of particles pass through his noggin and how it could be applied to a horror film. Or a porno. Or a Rob Schneider film called Duce Bigalow: Undead Gigolo. We also sidetrack onto the topic of incontinence. We apologize for the sleep-deprived inanity. Incontinence segues over into continents, which segues over into Superman Returns, which segues over into Superpimp and some wonderfully un-PC ranting on the part of the Boy.

We start the Palin topic by talking about how talking about Putin rearing his head makes us think of Zombie Nation, and old NES game, and maybe a song by Rob Zombie (before digressing into a slightly more serious topic; the train disaster caused by a driver texting and blowing a stop signal.) We get back on topic proper by wondering how Palin not spontaneously combusting on stage during the debate turned out to be a victory (and sidetrack yet again by giving props to Keith Olbermann for a comment about a comment about Palin's performance and discussing a faux ad stating why voting for Palin 'cause she's cute is a silly, silly idea.)

The Boy then rants about SoulCaliber's 'spooky' Halloween costume downloads and how you're not even shown how many or what type before paying for them (and we also digress on to Ivy's breasts) as well as the ability to download weapons that you're supposed to unlock by playing the game. He then also talks about MegaMan 9, which is done in an amazingly old-school style. The Boy and largo both approve. The Boy then runs down his current wishlist, then we discuss fun stuff that could be done with Doom. We move on by extolling the virtues of good downloadable content, the downside of MMORPGs, and which Blizzard game will become their next MMO. We then close out by talking about Wii Serf and the problems inherent therein.

9/27/08 Show Notes

On this week's docket:

-That's Debatable

-Wile E. Cyote; Suuuuuper Economist

-Tanks for the Memories

-Feelin' a Little Gamey

We start by discussing how Janet Jackson must be an android because she has a metal nipple that you twist to charge her up then speculating just how horrible porn music by John Williams would be.

Using Darth Vader as the moderator for the presidential debate brings us to our first topic, and we then jump ahead to the vice presidential debate and how we are looking forward to seeing Sarah Palin self immolate. Largo moves back to the first presidential debate by admitting that, much as he didn't want to, the thing was pretty much a draw (though Sanguinist brings up how awkward McCain's body language was.) Sanguinist also brings up the ridiculousness of McCain's plan for a spending freeze on everything but defense. We then sort of defend McCain for not being able to say Ahmadinejad, then change our minds. We also lament the fact that Obama let so many shots pass by. Largo mentions that he both liked and disliked the debate format in that it let both candidates rebut but also showed a lack of control in keeping the candidates speaking one at a time. We postulate that, for future debates, the moderator should have either a mic kill switch or a taser. We then move again over to the upcoming VP debate after detailing the difficulties in cashing a large cardboard check. We set up the rules for the Sarah Palin Drinking Game in advance, hoping that she actually shows for the debate. Optimus Prime and Chulhu's platforms make us wish that they were actually running, and Sanguinist pledges to give us the cabinet positions that should be granted to the Great Old Ones.

Gears shift then over to the fact that House Republicans were the ones to kill Bush's Bail Out plan. The Emo Ticket then rears it's cutting head with the campaign slogan "D is for Depression.” Largo then mentions that WaMu has become the largest financial disaster in American history, but is at least consoled by the fact that Bank of America didn't buy them. Sanguinist then speculates on how the the market can be used as an indicator of how well the candidates did on the debate. Largo disagrees. We then point out that by the time you actually hear this show, you'll already know.

Sanguinist sidetracks us by bringing up female stadium football, then Sean Connery rears his head as the Ass Man, this week's new superhero who has the ability to use his telekinesis to molest women.

The theft of Ukrainian tanks by pirates makes out next topic sing, and we discuss hiding tanks in very, very baggy pants and the transdimentional anal space where Connor McCloud stores his sword. We drag the tanker back on task by speculating to whom one would try to sell tanks before digressing on to the difficulties the south is having getting gas. We close this topic by presenting the Bible converted to D&D 4.0.

We move into Gameland with the Boy mentioning that you can download Red Alert from Westwood's website, discussing how Game Stop's employees are morons, pointing out that the system has changes for the upcoming Legends of Wrestling, revisiting the suck that shall be Fallout 3, and pointing out how one can respec his character after the release of Litch King. We close out this topic with the Boy's gripe about lack of costumes on the PS3 version and various smart ass comments related to such.

Largo closes the show out by mentioning that he is almost tempted to break his Spider-Man embargo to buy the issue that Stephen Colbert guest stars in. The others tell him to resist.

9/14/08 Show Notes

On the docket this week:

-Something Vaguely Political

-Feeling a Little Gamey

-Blew into Texas Lookin' for Tina

We begin the show by explaining how technology and nature have conspired to screw SVR's ability to record and broadcast shows (we're still technically recovering from this almost a month later.) We also discuss leveling up using way too much caffeine and religion being the largest MMORPG in history. The Boy brings up a church that was also acting as a swingers' club that got busted because someone advertised in on the Internet, then Sanguinist introduces the bottomless restaurant. We then than R.K. Milholland for introducing Sanguinist to the concept of stitching sex toys into teddy bears. No, really, Randy, we thank you.

Then we finally get to our topics, beginning with the headline "John McCain's Wife HATES Sarah Palin!” Sanguinist then runs over the reasons why Palin has managed to close the numbers between McCain and Obama, then Largo plays the Hitler card, which would end this if it were an Internet thread. Sanguinist posits using kitten sacrifice to lower property taxes, then talks about how Neocons should be labeled as a separate party, thus saving the Republicans. We also look at how posting political plans on the candidates' websites isn't really a selling point, then Sanguinist pleads for someone, anyone, to lay out their specific plans in an open forum. We then look at the semantics between $250,000 and “a quarter of a million dollars” and explore the power of firearms in Western Pennsylvania, which sucks the funny right out of the show. We bring that back with a Photoshopped image of Sarah Palin holding a shotgun by a creek.

The Boy shifts over into Gameland by discussing his problems with World of Warcraft, having had his account suspended (he'd had someone steal his account through a keylogger) and the Admins playing a game of Blame the Victim. He then shifts briefly over to Disgaea 3, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, and Lego Batman. We then move over briefly to the logistics of Lego Luke carrying Lego Yoda, who is the same size as him, on his back. We then digress over into Yoda selling adult diapers, using the Force for both slow murder and sex. Fun stuff. We scoot back to Force Unleashed to discuss how the Force powers are utilized better in this game than in others. DJ Vader then makes a brief appearance before confusing his scratch board with his motor skills board. Sanguinist then brings up the impending train wreck that is Fallout 3, and the Boy and Largo lament with him before hoping that this year's Raw vs. Smackdown will be better than last year's. We then move entirely sideways by discussing who would win in a fight, Jedi or Saiyans, and discuss how the Frieza saga can be watched in about 45 seconds. Sanguinist draws us back on topic by discussing just why he likes Spore, especially since it's pissed off both the religious right, the militant atheists, and the DRM crowd. We also discuss Sporn briefly.

We then ensure our ticket to hell is fist class by making a joke about Ike blowing into Texas looking for Tina, which leads us to a pretty good scam or making money off of people's desire to go to heaven. The concept of mandatory evacuations and the less-than-literal interpretation of such brings us back on topic. We discuss how Ike was everything that Gustav was supposed to be and more. The Boy discusses the possibility of deflecting a hurricane with shaking breasts and porn from the 40's. We then close the show with the contents of Largo's garbage can, the spike in gas prices from Ike, and selling your kids' organs for fun and profit.
