  1. Oh, Derrick – how can you bag on Qix? Just get the MAME ROM and play – it can get pretty addictive. It’s especially satisfying when there’s two Qixes and you split them.

    It’s not as hard as you think.

  2. I remember the Chips & Bits website used to let people preorder “Duke Nukem Forever”, back in the very late 90’s. ‘:D (Cracked me up every time I saw the ad… and that was over nine years ago.)

  3. Its really great that you came up with the idea of facilitating a mini game to give away copies of plants vs zombies! yes i will sign up for starcraft II beta.

This is a Gaming Podcast lite episode, it’s got less calories because we’re right in the middle of travel plans heading to New Orleans for Tales of the Cocktail (conference). This is also the reason the show is going out late this week as I’m posting it from a hotel room with crappy wifi, but we did it… we got it done. I’m keeping the show notes simple this week because we’re rushed for time.
