On this week's show: -You Can't Patent That! Okay, but We'll Still Use It-Let the Facts Moo-ve You-A Super-Sized Something Vaguely Entertaining We begin by fusing HAL and KITT into some bastard fusion (as well as David Hasslehoff and Kiefer Sutherland) while Sanguinist treats bees as Pokemon. We also look at the difference between dead guys and Dead Guy Ale. Getting onto our topics, Sanguinist leads off with a story about a denied patent for a RF chip that is tied to a cyanide capsule. Limitless, applications for those: parenting, sex offenders, controlling the Hulk...(and we also look at both Vitamin Duh, Vitamin G, and Vitamin Aw, Fuck!) We also bring up the old story about the guy who went in to rob a place with a bomb strapped to his head (and the under-publicized resolution to that story.) The Boy then states categorically that he is not a Cadbury Egg , Sanguinist points out that a little bit of penicillin will clear up that nasty case of Super Saiyan, and we discuss ways of defeating Mustache-Twirling Bad Guy (and we introduce Photosynthesis Smurf.) Continuing with the digressions, we look at the SVR crew's secret weakness, the Dream Police Care Bear, fashion police polar bears, and the return of '80s fashion. We then (finally) move on to our second topic; the waterboarding of Chicago radio host Mancow. We wonder briefly if we have to waterbaoard everyone who thinks it's not torture to get the point that it's drowning across. Starting out Something Vaguely Entertaining, Sanguinist runs down of Robin D. Law's Gumshoe, as role-playing system that sounds like a simple and fun way to run a detective game in a variety of different genres (we also look at Tensor's Floating Mammaries, Bigby's Clenched Anal Cheeks, and Milf's Anal Arrow as a useful D&D spells as well as T-Rex sex habits.) The Boy then gives us a report of PC Gamer's 365 Free Games (some of which are cooler than others) and then takes a look at Prinny: So I Can Be the Hero? (and look at the relative merits of the girls of The Breakfast Club and just why Ninja Gaiden was a bitch to beat.)Largo then reviews Resurrection: The Insurrection Edition from Oni Press. It's good, especially given that it's almost 200 pages for six bucks. While he's plot light to try to avoid spoilers, give it a listen and see if it's your cup of tea. We close out Something Vaguely Entertaining with a review of Terminator Salvation, another movie that makes us wonder if we saw the same movie that the critics did. Give a listen and see whose side you fall on, ours or the critics (warning: minor spoilers abound.) Largo ends the show with a set of small tributes to both what is likely the last episode of Transformers Animated and the Burger King Kingon ads (and a promise to try and catch Drag Me to Hell before next show.)
