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.
