This week, we have Danny Baranowsky to talk about making music for video games. There's also quite a bit of discussion about Civilization Revolution since Alon just discovered how wonderful it is.

Evony may lie, cheat, steal, or flash a bit of boob, but they don't want you knowing about it. Scribblenauts is awesome, confusing, weird, cute, annoying, tricky, and a few other things, though we have no idea what it actually tries to do. Dirt 2, however, actually wants to be annoying... and Bobby Kotick, well, he's annoying whether or not he tries to be.

Back from PAX, Alon tells the story of embarrassing himself in front of Anthony Burch. Ara joins in the fun by telling a story about his first anime convention back in 1994. We chat a bit about the new and questionably improved PlaySwitch.com game trading service - Ara has mixed feelings about it. Also, get ready for some serious bitching about Argentinian news reporters and controller mod cheaters.

Like so many others, Alon and Rich are big fans of James Silva's "I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MB1ES 1N IT!!!1". James phones in to tell us about the grueling week-and-a-half he spent making the game that's currently at the top of the XBOX Live Arcade Indie Games rankings. Also, in preparation for this week's 2009 PAXevent, we pit him against Ara in a ChatterBox TreasureBox 2007 standoff.

It turns out Shadow Complex is actually kind of fun, but gay folks aren't totally happy with it. Instead, they're setting up internet boycotts. At the same time, there's another group running hijinx on Victoria and her secret. All along, Miss Bayonetta is playing games without you.
