Episode 27, and Colin’s half in the bag before we even start. It’s up to Carl to discuss how AOL is committing extorion, how Steve Jobs kills puppies, and how TiVo got a TKO against EchoStar. On the Gaming Table, Carl again pulls through with a review of Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and a quick take on UbiSoft’s smart decision to ditch russian gangster front StarForce. Colin surfaces just long enough to help talk about the nude hotties of Girls of CS and White Wolf’s Wiki. On Boston in Brief, we take a quick look at the Dresden Dolls new album “Yes, Virginia…” and discuss their upcoming concert. We also remind people about IFF Boston and the free 3-month subscription to XBOX Live Gold we’re giving away.

Colin, you should drink more often for the Podcasts.
Oh and Happy Birthday bitch-nuts.
slackers.
Happy belated bday Colin! Who-hoo!
Yeah, I think there should be a drunk episode of BG podcast.
Which makes me wonder… do you guys have a blooper reel?
Also… I’ve been trying to find the flash bit that the “I want to cast magic missile” is from…. can you help a brotha out?
There is no permanent gag reel, but maybe we should start saving the scraps and make a ’special edition’ as part of a milestone ep, like our 50th.
“I want to cast Magic Missile…” is from the Dead Alewives, from back in the day. If you google Dead Alewives, you’ll find the MP3 of the original sketch eventually.
Then some wag went and created the flash movie. Here is a link to it on iFilm:

Enjoy!
Actually, it wasn’t flash. Near as I can tell, someone just animated it with a game engine.
