Episode Notes;

A short episode this week for you. One you listen to over breakfast, nipping to the shops or whilst on the John, perhaps. We aim for convenience to fill those otherwise quiet spots in your day.

If no one believes me that even the latest Core2’s are loosely based on the old Pentium Pro’s read the Wiki!

12:30: “Just increase the speed and add more stuff on to it”. Honestly, what the hell was I on about?? If you know where I was going with that or any of this episodes rants drop me an email or leave a comment because I clearly don’t have a clue what is up from down.

The first two episode topics are more of a reportive style rather than a discussion on an issue. In future we are looking to do more of the latter and hopefully get more ‘industry guests’ on.

Clearly we care little about not offending women by referring to you as “all just playing The Sims”, which is about as much as we care for factual accuracy. When you do something, don’t do it by halves. Brett also snuck in more PS3 talk into this episode despite H’s adamant stance that we’ve talked about consoles enough.

Noise other than ourselves this week is provided by the incredible Chris Kline with his Necronomicon for the intro and Final Fantasy II Prelude fantracks as end. You’ll have to Google for his work since I found these weeks ago and as usual I haven’t bookmarked the link to his work, to provide for you. For my inadequacies, I apologise.
