Episode 58A: Star Trek & Mass Effect

Posted on May 11, 2012 by jbegley

This is actually only the “news” section of the episode. We discussed news for about 40 minutes and I figured it would be a few more days before I managed to finish editing the entire podcast. I also know that it had been awhile since the last Trektinis, and I really wanted to get something out to you guys. I will have the full Star Trek & Mass Effect discussion posted next week.

Skyrim

Posted on April 10, 2012 by jbegley

John and Jessie dissect the biggest RPG to ever be released on consoles, Bethesda’s Elder Scrolls V, Skyrim. (okay I might get some flack for that comment)

At one point it sounds like I’m strangling my cat. I promise you I’m not. He’s just really loud when he wants attention.

Outtakes:

Random bitching about Facebook.

We are still yet to play Mass Effect 3, but we are well aware of how upset many are with the ending. We speculate.
