Theirs a lot of nanomachines running around this week as we spoil Metal Gear Solid 4's ending. Steven plays around with the Metal Gear Name Generator and finds the perfect nickname for Jason. Also, we give you what little news there was last week and rattle off our predictions for E3 as we play Press Conference Bingo.

A three hour show this week as we get caught up after a small unplanned break. Metal Gear Solid 4 sneaks up on Jason and knocks him out. Steven tells you about a couple movie game demos for the DS and returns to the Puzzle Quest addiction, this time on the PC. Plus, the news and a look into the Bargain Bin at a Devil that May make you Cry.

Wow that's a lot of WOW. Jason finally gives you the long promised World Of Warcraft rant, along with a counter point from our guest Richard of the Fallout Shelter fame. We also get soaked with blood in Ninja Gaiden II, go under the sea in BioShock, and rant about the new evil that is buying demos. In the Bargain Bin this week we give you the master piece that is Portal. Remember to look both ways before jumping into the blue portal, cause the floor will kill you if you touch it.

OMG we have a guest! This week we discuss the merits of destroying cities, eating PokeMon, and the demerits of fighting in your underwear. We find out that Steven's sense of humor is broken and shoot anything that moves in Star Soldier R for the Wii. Also we look inside the Bargain Bin and find a Gun. So, come on in for a good time.

This week we do the whole episode all over again, sans guests. Sigh. Jason gets hopped up on Nectar with Haze, detoxes with some Echo Chrome, and gets infected by Dark Sector. We have first impressions of Penny Arcade's first video game, dissect Jason's anger for Dragon Quest, and dig up yet more cheap games to look for in the Bargain Bin.
