Drinky Talky Thingy Podcast 110: The Return of the Random Words

Gow insisted on this picture, Who am I to say no to such a happy elephant

In the early days of the podcast Gow would ask on Facebook & Twitter for random words that he had to try and fit into the show.

That habit has seen a return and I will have to say the break has certainly helped as the words suggested were good.

As if to compliment the return of something old we also balanced that out with something new – Video!

As an experiment while recording this weeks show, I fired up the webcam and recorded the behind the scenes footage and it will be uploaded separately to our YouTube Channel. It should be quite interesting to see what we normally hide from the Audio show 😛

Aside from all that you can expect all the usual gaming news, reviewed with our own slapdash style and lack of research. For example: we cover the ongoing failure that is SimCity despite never having played the game, we discuss the fact that Richard Garriot basically said everyone but him and a few others were crap at designing games & even found time to have our usual pop at American media and politics due to things said in the Sandy Hook investigations.

Anyway all that and much more in this episode of the Drinky Talky Thingy.
