After the interview, Justin continues mining for Mass Effect 2 space dust, Nick readies his earplugs for Sands of Destruction and Tom chimes in about Chime. *Woof!* Plus, the Dante’s Inferno Superbowl Truffle Shuffle, cautious optimism for Sonic 4 and the wackiest furniture commercials Cleveland has to offer.

**Correction** Apparently Nintendo quietly took down WiiWare demos last week without telling anyone, so your only means of play BEAT is to pay the six bucks for it. Again, totally worth it.

About the Author

This podcast is a celebration of the social aspects of gaming. We were “smash brothers” long before we became the ‘Pack, and we continue to game with each other on a regular basis. If you look beyond all of the media sensationalism and message board wankery, you’ll discover that video games can help form bonds that will last forever. We’re living proof of that – we’re not jaded journalists (not yet, at least), we’re not tournament players and we’re certainly not fanboys. We’re just folks who love to play and discuss games with each other, and we hope to extend this friendship to our listeners with every installment.
