Broken Embargo — Thu, 10 May 2012 21:06:37 GMT

After technical difficulties and scheduling conflicts, we are happy to announce that yes, we are still alive! This week, Eric and Caleb go it bravely alone. We talk about the Firefall Beta and the appropriately named Awesomenauts (it's pretty awesome). Meanwhile, in news, we cover the shifts in G4 staffing and the benefits/detriments of a subsidized Xbox. Also, Eric raves about Ernest Cline's "Ready Player One". You should really go read/listen to it. It's great! Oh, and we ramble. A lot. It happens.
