Wherein we discuss BlizzCon 2009 (lots of stuff -- including the big World of Warcraft and Diablo III announcements), Ryan's goofy musical tastes, WWE SummerSlam (because wrestling is SO nerdy), and the sheer awesomeness of Batman: Arkham Asylum. Starring Ryan Scott, Karen Chu, Mike Cruz, Andrew Fitch, and Ryan Higgins.

Wherein we discuss Yoshitaka Amano, cosplay, Champions Online, stupid game critics, District 9, Ponyo, Quentin Tarantino and the Inglourious Plummers, Game Center CX, and the impending BlizzCon 2009. Starring Ryan Scott, Andrew Fitch, Justin Haywald, Ryan Higgins, and Jade Kraus.

Wherein we discuss Karen's weekly porno comic fix, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, bad '80s cartoons, Burn Notice episode 3x09, awesomely misleading Internet ads, Civilization Revolution for the iPhone, the latest World of Warcraft expansion buzz, Xbox 360 games on demand, shady iPhone apps, web comics, and the death of old media (and boy, what a tangent this one is...). Starring Ryan Scott, Karen Chu, Mike Cruz, Andrew Fitch, and Ryan Higgins.

Wherein we formally welcome new permanent co-host Mike Cruz, introduce our listeners to the God of Shamisen, talk about a bunch of baby games, rave about the League of Legends beta (well... ONE of us does), get psyched for the big World of Warcraft patch, mourn the passing of The Matrix Online (not really), ponder the art of murder in Hello Kitty Online, tell stories of Animal Crossing-related near-breakups, sound off on Burn Notice episode 3x08, consider Futurama's future, and rock out with some Final Fantasy Attack. Starring Ryan Scott, Karen Chu, Mike Cruz, Andrew Fitch, Ryan Higgins, and special guests Kevin Kmetz and Mark Thornton.
