Terrific show, guys. In response to Ben’s slam on Vermont (the state of my childhood days) let me assure you that the primary attraction factor for people using mobiles there is the ability of the device to generate heat.

Perhaps you could name the omnibus “I Don’t Want to Know” button the Tullet.

Special thanks to Brett for playing the part of Toby this week.

The episode reminds me I need to get on my knees and thank the Lord I don’t do anything with Facebook.

Torchlight looks like my kind of game! I’ll definitely sample the demo, thanks for the heads-up.
