It's that time of year again. Where there are too many great games and not enough time to play them. That means, of course, that with each new release we're just adding to the backlog. But that won't keep us from playing a level or two and discussing them. This week! We're joined by Sega producer Ethan Einhorn to talk about the games we've been playing in the last seven days. That includes: Fallout 3, Little Big Planet, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, Mega Man III, Gears of War 2, Valkyria Chronicles, Resistance 2, Left 4 Dead, Pinball FX, Banjo-Kazooie XBLA, Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts and...we probably mentioned a couple other games in there too but you'll just have to listen and find out.

Due to technical difficulties (explained at the end of this week's podcast, if you're interested), we're publishing this episode a wee bit late. But we talk about a lot of games. Among them--Dragon Quest IV, Speed Racer, Portal: Still Alive, Snoopy DS, Transformers Animated, Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, Dead Space, Fable II, Guitar Hero World Tour and Little Big Planet. Yes there's some spoiler talk about Dead Space. No CJ didn't like Fable II much. And we spend the last 20 minutes of the podcast not talking about games at all. But there you have it. Episode 105, people!

Who would've thought two years ago that when we started this podcast thing that we'd still be going 100 episodes later. Yet here we are, and thanks to listener probune and some of the fine people on our forum (thanks to Mudron for the sweet art!) we have a clip show for you this week featuring some of the finest moments of those past episodes. Whether you're new to the podcast or a longtime listener, you might get some larfs out of this 90-or-so-minute stroll down memory lane.

And yes, a regular episode is still coming today in addition to this. Stay tuned.
