At the time of this recording, PixelVerdict.com had been down since Saturday. Still, Erich, Dave, Tim, and Steve soldier on, cramming a week’s worth of content into an hour and forty minute podcast. Not having a site to write for means the boys have been playing some games, including PS3-import Demon Souls, Fallout 3, Gears of War 2, Left 4 Dead, Street Fighter IV, Peggle, Rock Band 2, and a little too much Braid. In the news segment, Erich opens up the DSi launch to podcast scrutiny, Steve wonders whether it’s too soon for Six Days in Fallujah, Tim rants about Time Warner’s tiered bandwidth caps, and Dave throws his support behind Steve Wiebe’s upcoming attempt to set the new Donkey Kong world record. The show wraps up with this week’s Symposium Ad Nauseum: “Nostalgia Ain’t Worth @#$%”—consider it your gaming fix while Pixel Verdict was being fixed.
