2PP Episode 11: Literally Hours of Moderate Fun
We start off by introducing our new pundit, Brian. Then we explain why we don’t care about Metal Gear Solid 4, and Bucky admits he is clinically insane for not liking Ninja Gaiden. Daniel is disappointed with the Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit demo. We attempt to explain Yen to Dollar conversion for some reason. Daniel explains to Netflix how to expand their business, by adding video games to their catalog. Brian has purchased and played Wii fit and he thinks it is creepy. Bucky and Brian think Will Wright doesn’t know what he is talking about, oh and Bucky thinks Daniel is a Jack @$$. And amazingly we made it through the whole episode without burning Michael. Daniel is sick of the internet cloud, and everything on it.

Episode 10: Off the Reservation
We discuss Wii Fit and how it tells fat kids they are fat. Bucky explains again why legislatures need to get over it and make parents do their job. Daniel believes the new breed of gamers want work not fun. GTA breaks entertainment records, Yeah! Is PC hardware classification a good thing?. A good Brit proves that video game violence does not cause real world violence…nanny nanny boo boo! Daniel asks the question on everyone’s mind… Shouldn’t Guitar hero be Band Hero?
