Maybe it was the late night recording session, but this week's episode is a wacky one, with tangents and teasing a-plenty. When the game talk finally begins, Erich, Dave, Tim, and Adam chat about new DLC for Left 4 Dead and Street Fighter IV, the retro goodness of Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and The Typing of the Dead, Too Human, Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, Crackdown, Pure, Chrono Trigger, Peggle Dual Shot, the newest addition to the Asperschlager household, and a yard sale opportunity missed. An abbreviated news segment touches on the head-scratching possibilities of a game in which Mr. T fights Nazis, and the latest rumors about the next PSP. That last item leads into a discussion of dead video formats for some reason, followed by Dave surprising the group with this week's Symposium Ad Nauseum topic--an experiment in improvisation we probably won't try again.
