A new superfan, Colin, came to the studio to listen to Ara tell his triumphant tale of XBOX customer support and to join in the great debate of Ebert vs the gamers.

Joe, the Super Fan, sits in on this week's show. During his time with us, Joe must endure endless self-indulgence, controversy surrounding additional, but unsurprising, antics at Gamestop, a party to which no ladies were invited, and repeated screaming of his feminazi friend's name while she refused to call in to speak her mind. Go Joe!

The Infinity Ward exodus; the looming threat of network censorship and control that stands to shatter the very ground you walk on and ruin your life forever; why Ara hates it when people suggest we need more of X in games today.

We've received a lot of email lately so we took some time to go over it. What joystick to buy, how to stump Ara, what Wil Wheaton thinks of MMOs and the Skinner Box. Also, an impromptu visit from BaconSandwich, Omeganaut 2010.

In this episode, we relate toilets and game design. It's such a feat that Ara puts forth an ongoing challenge to the listeners. We also continue the discussion of addicting elements in games. Based on current news, it seems games are so addicting that at least one guy couldn't help himself from stealing code right off the PAX East show floor.
