This week we've got a 3 hour tank of a show for you, covering a lot of ground. We're discussing our current 'Best Of' list, which covers all forms of media and hopefully doesn't tread the same typical ground as other 'Best' lists. Some of our choices will be pretty easy to predict, but others may surprise you. I originally thought of splitting the show up into parts, but honestly there was no natural break in the flow of the discussion so I opted not to force it. Also, congratulations to our winners for the wallpaper contest! Both winning entries are linked below for you to download and enjoy!

This week Lando and I are discussing the increasingly thin material that constitutes the truth in this day and age. With the advent of blogging, Wikipedia, and the amazingly malleable nature of all web content is it any wonder that the concept of fact is losing all meaning in our world? And the situation in the real world is getting just as dicey, with reporters dropping to their knees ready to abandon all honor before the beauty of the Mighty Ratings. Can there even exist words like 'fact' or 'truth' when things seem to be true one day and a hazy memory the next?

Hey guys,

Joe here with a quick request for our excellent community. I'm in a contest on the Mimobot site to win one of their new custom USB flash drives, and I need your help to do it! How can you help?

Just go to the contest page on the Mimobot site and scroll through the entries until you see this one:




Yeah, it's corny, but I was in a rush to get an entry in early. In any event, just move your mouse over the clovers and when they're all highlighted like in the above image, click! That's it! You've done your part in helping me get closer to winning a Mimobot!

As always, thanks for being a part of the show and particularly for helping me out with this!

Joe

This week we're taking an alternate look at a topic that we  touched on once before: the environment. As before, though, we're not debating the issue of whether we are damaging the environment but rather whether we even can damage this planet of ours. Do we as a species possess the power to alter the planet, and within that question can we do anything to improve it?

This week it was tough to categorize the show, since we covered a lot of various ground. In essence, though, we started with the idea that nothing is sacred anymore. The starting point for the show was the abominable progress on the American version of the anime classic Akira. Early details on the production have driven us both insane, as they show little regard or understanding of the source material. This started us wondering if there is any reverance for anything on this planet anymore. We're also going to post the wallpaper contest results so keep an eye out!

Here's the page of 300 gifs I had a heart attack laughing at.
