The riffs this week sounded a bit... echoey?

Is it me, or did Nintendo just gut all sales of the Wii U between now and September 20?

Brian Fargo isn't even an OnLive employee -- so how could they lay him off? http://www.linkedin.com/pub/brian-fargo/0/139/4a9 I suspect the story is attributing a quotation from the forwarded email to Fargo. Getting it right would make the story more believable, but it still needs to be...

In addition to DVD, several episodes are available for purchase or rental via Apple's iTunes Store.

Maryland is the eighth smallest state. They got it backwards. It's like saying Alaska is the fiftieth smallest state, or the winning team in a game of baseball came in second-to-last.

One of the few times popular media gets the 'AD' placement correct, and Escapist has to wrongly criticize them? Boo, hiss. Great episode otherwise :-D

I think this is the first time I have paid for access to online content since CompuServe. But your LRR & ZP videos are worth every cent.
