Every time we try to do a low-key short show, we seem to find weird (and non-sequitur) reserves of energy. It's the usual three man love fest (wait) this week as Anthony Gallegos, Tyler Barber and I (Arthur Gies) talk about how weird it is for us to love a golf game, leaks in gaming media (of which we are apparently not immune!), and end with letters. That ask about poop. May the Goddess of the universe exchange twitter followers to bestow a fatter penis.This week's music, in order of appearance...

Welcome back to Game Club! As previously mentioned, our new pick is Hitman: Blood Money. For our first episode we covered the tutorial and acts 1-3. If you haven't had a chance to play along yet, the video below should get you caught up in the meantime (though it certainly doesn't cover everything). For the next episode, play through and complete act 6, "You Better Watch Out", colloquially referred to as the Playboy Mansion level. Post your stories and strategies by next Monday afternoon for inc...

It's late, but I'm happy to bring you all our wrap-up episode for our Game Club series on Gun.

We're on round two of our Game Club series on Gun, as we talk about stagecoach chases, train hijackings, old-west style street justice, and wonder about the inherent violence of the local Chinese laundry (and somehow leprechauns wander into the discussion as well). We're going into a two week break between this episode and the final episode of this series, so you shouldn't have any trouble finishing it up in time. However, you should also email me (or comment) with questions for the developers o...
