Interesting that Shipwreck describes Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy as a popcorn book. I think you would struggle to find a more intelligent author than Douglas Adams. Wombat is right - he was ahead of his time. He does present his ideas in a lighthearted way, but he has a lot to say about...

If I never hear anyone speak about trans rights ever again, it will be too soon. This issue has been used as a political wedge in my country and caused enormous damage as a result. I fully support people's right to live their lives however they see fit but we have much bigger problems as a...

As Wombat has discovered, SUVs are much more dangerous than a normal car. They are classified as trucks and don't meet the same safety standards. The statistics around them are shocking. You are twice as likely to kill someone or to be killed yourself while driving one. Considering their...

The fact that Cheapy D has not seen any of the Evil Dead movies and seems reluctant to watch them now blows my mind. Get a grip man! You need to see these things! (At least II and Army of Darkness). I say this as someone who has been listening a very long time and knows I have similar taste in...

Regarding CD Projekt Red, they have a history with terrible PR. Long before the Witcher 3 was released they claimed it would be coming to Linux. This got the Linux gaming community (which is obviously very small) very excited. When people called CD Projekt out for failing to deliver on their...

I gave Lovecraft Country a watch since Cheapy brought it up and I'm a fan of Lovecraft's writing. Man what a wasted opportunity that show is. Setting it in the black community is a great idea, especially as Lovecraft was a racist. The problem is the show has so little in common with his...

Cheapy says SteamOS doesn't have many games; it has 250+, with more being released all the time (20 or so were Greenlit just yesterday). I do all my gaming on Linux these days, and my backlog is over 100 games long! How many games did the next-gen consoles launch with? I think SteamOS is...

I commend Cheapy D for taking a strong stance when it comes to Forza Motorsport 5. The only voice you have in the corporate world comes from your wallet, and if you cave in to the hype and don't use it, you are a sucker. I loved Forza 1 and 2 and played a ton of the second game online. Turn 10...

Hi CheapyD (and Wombat). It was good to hear you talk about Forza 3 on the last show, but I would like to hear more of your thoughts on the multiplayer side of it. There is quite a controversy raging on Turn 10's official forums, with most there seeing it as a big step backwards from Forza 2. As...
