The website that I am about to discuss my very well be old hat for a lot of you out there in internetland. I know for a fact that one of the articles has made its way around the nerdosphere quite some time ago. That’s all well and good, and should not deter your from reflecting long and hard on the clicking of the following link to get one step closer to ending this sentence and fully learning what the heck I am even talking about.

If you happened to watch our 100th episode, you might have heard – jokingly at the time – that we were taking a couple of weeks off. Well, now that we have put some thought into it, a short vacation is not a bad idea.

Basically, the next two weekends (and possibly even Memorial Day weekend) will be filled with all sorts of pleasantries that will hinder or outright block our ability to do a show. For example, this weekend I will be out of town (seeing Conan) and next weekend is the second Hardmode.org charity event. There will unfortunately be little time for Pressed & Bound shenanigans for those weeks. Definitely check out the charity event, though, it will be awesome.

And that is the long and short of it. Episode 101 may be a few weeks yet. JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU GUYS A HEADS UP.

Episode 100 of Pressed & Bound is online! Sweet sassy molassy we have been doing this for a long time. Thanks go to everyone who has watched us over the years!

I have been again invited to discuss things of the digital nature over at Nintendorks. This week we talk about Starcraft II while PLAYING STARCRAFT II. Listen to us yell at people who are way better than us at this game.

It’s time for another edition of Nintendorks Radio with your hosts Travis Woodside and Garret Evans. You can get your episode now on iTunes (search for Nintendorks Radio in the iTunes store) or right here.

Episode 056 – Well Burn My Biscuits
StarCraft II discussion herein. Biscuit burning and flying buildings. Also, apparently Super Mario Galaxy 2 is out soon.

Apologies for some sound issues in this episode. Though I was wearing an overly expensive headset I accidentally recorded all of my sound through an internal macbook speaker. It’s not awful sounding, but its not ideal and it picked up some lovely background noise at times including, but not limited to, mouse clicking and typing.

Other games discussed: Super Mario Galaxy, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Cave Story

Disclaimer: We kept saying “Well burn my biscuits!” but the quote in game is apparently, “Well butter my biscuits.” It’s spoken by a SCV in StarCraft II.

Head over here to check it out.

Today I was stumbling here and there, down some stairs, Bananas in Pajamas-style, when I came across this list from what could only be some sort of bloggy thing from Random House. The page in question is entitled Modern Library. Research has yet to lead me to any results regarding the nature of the site, but I did find a “Cart” link so I assume they are trying to sell you something. Be that as it may, they do have a very interesting list of books in this post. What kind of books? Just the 100 BEST BOOKS, durr.

Ok guys, here’s the deal: This week there are only two movies to choose from. One is going to be good, one is going to be bad. I will not try to push you towards voting for what we would like to see, as the IRONclad bond we have made for this segment will still hold true. But, MAN, one of these films will be drastically more interesting to watch than the other.

Seriously, don’t screw this up…

Episode 99 of Pressed & Bound is online! There is one more week left until episode 100! Furry Vengeance is so bad we completely forget to talk about a book or a DVD.
