The latest from The Totally Rad Show: Episode 74 - Actoroids - Braid, Tropic Thunder, Bionic Commando: Rearmed, and ROGCon

this is too awesome to be in Jeff's Twitter :D

Tropic Thunder is totally worth the price of admission. One of the most enjoyable experiences I've had at the theater all summer.

The Ark of Truth was total Ass, and it's pointless to see unless you really need the ends of the show wrapped up. Continuum is actually a worth while movie and is well worth watching. If they could do another Continuum for SG Atlantis I'd be interested. To be honest they were out of ideas on Atlantis anyway. I'm glad it's moving on to a straight to DVD movie model, the good ideas they have may be able to be execute properly.

So I'm finally playing through Stalker and realizing that it's pretty damn close to what Fallout 3 will be. Post apocalyptic world with RPG and FPS characteristics. It tracks your relationships with NPCs and it's fairly open ended. It's likely not as nice looking as Fallout 3 will be, but it's available now, and it's only $20 on Steam.

so far the only "unfun" thing I've found has been the occasional room you get into where you can't win. There are just to many dudes. Of course there's no penalty for dying so if you beat your head against it enough eventually you'll get through even though you are dying every few seconds.

The game play doesn't seem to be getting old and I'm enjoying going through all the character classes trying to find the one I like the best. I kind of think there should be some kind of training location or tutorial or something. I'm doing pretty well with the Champion class, but I got no where with the...."healer" class whose name I can't think of. It would be nice to have some video tips from Silicon Knights or something, guess I'll have to wait for mycheats.com to get something together.

I would defintly suggest playing the demo. Get on the internet and figure out how to unlock all the classes on the demo. Play for a few hours and see if you like it. You won't experience anything in the game that's not in the Demo except the story. Gameplay wise its all represented in the Demo.

Sum up. I love the gameplay, character customization, and the story is hooking me. Especially Loki. So far Loki and Hel are the coolest characters.

Not so hot on the lack of training/tutorials, and the death system occasional makes it feel like your beating your head against the wall just to clear a room.

Fantastic game. Terribly fun. Once of the best for multiplayer FPS games for PC ever. I was a skeptic initially (being an old-school TFC fiend), but it's really top quality in every respect. Highly recommend!

"I'd always been sympathetic to those who had run out of space on their Wiis, but had never really monitored my own capacity and didn't expect I'd run out any time soon. Tonight, as I went to download SBCG4AP:E1:HR from the Shop Channel (Super Metroid, Mario Kart 64 and LostWinds being the only other three), I was notified I didn't have enough space. Luckily, I'd bought a 2GB SD card while away for use in a voice recorder for lectures and with the secondary (and far off, or so I thought) function of Wii backup, so over went Mario Kart before I returned to the Shop Channel and downloaded it.

Four games, and a smattering of channels. I mean, honestly? Nintendo better start letting you boot off of SD cards soon."

Yeah man, it really sucks to run out of space... The system has 512MB but only half is usable by the end user. I don't know if the other half is used for the OS, messages and such, or if it's just simply reserved.. If it's the latter, they could open it up if they wanted, but I think they would have done that already if it were possible.

But anyhow, I finally learned my lesson with the Wii. And it only took me 38 downloads before I decided to call it quits.

I wish I could get my money back for most of those games. I'd gladly delete them. I won't play many of them anymore, and the reason I bought them to begin with was due to the Wii being my only console and a lack of good retail games to play.

Well, Nintendo won't get anymore money from me until there is a solution in place, and even then, I think I might be done buying these things, for the most part.
