Episode 35: Uwe Boll’s Punch Out!

Uwe Boll, Congress in Second Life and how to use the term “gamer” in modern society. Take these topics, add a pinch of Dragon*Con, simmer in the Olympic Torch’s carbon footprint and you’ve got another episode of WhatTheCast. It will all make a lot more sense after you download this episode and read the show notes …

Petition for Uwe Boll to stop making movies (but Uwe wants 1 million!)

WhatTheCon?
Dragon*Con 2007 DVDs available in the store
Expanding into the Hilton Atrium ballroom … what to expect?

Is the term ‘Gamer’ played out? Is it even applicable any more?

A congressional subcommittee held a hearing about Second Life and discussed internet regulation. They also held a simulcast version of it in Second Life. I take it the government is here to help you, even online?

Final Thoughts
Patrick: The Onion writers, writing greeting cards (someecards.com)
Stephen: Beamz (no wonder The Sharper Image is going under)
Crispy: Coldplay puts you to sleep (duh, we needed a study to confirm this?)
Brian: Olympic Torch Emits 5,500 Tons of CO2 (but what about Tibet?)
