The Widget: Games, Tech, Whatever

Wow. Check that out. Episode 30. I can't believe we've made it this far. To celebrate this momentous occasion, we decided to hold an impromptu call-in show. Now usually, this is the part where I give you a rundown of topics that we talked about in the show, but that really doesn't apply this week. Sure, we talked about tech stuff, but the real meat of the show is the craziness that ensued when myself, Ryan, Karza and Jason "CountZer0" got to chat it up with our varied audience members. It's a real trip, you know? In the short amount of time that we've been doing this show, a real solid community has sprung up to support it. And the great part is that it's people from all over the world; young, old(er), and the insane... but all united by the joy of geeking it out with us every week. It's been a great run so far, and with fans like you, it's going to be a great run in the future. I want to send out a honest-to-goodness thank you to each and every one of you that has wrote in, posted, called, and most importantly, listened. Doing this show has had it's ups and downs, and I'm glad that you guys all keep coming back for more. Well, here's to our fans... as always, this show is for you. - Tim

In the words of Karza, it's 'B' as in Better! This week, we have Tim, Ryan and Mike via skype and Karza live and in studio! Topics this week include the 100% (not 50%) tax on games idea being proposed in Texas, the story that Tim inadvertently broke out of Toronto involving two teens who felt the Need For Speed, computer tech support horror stories, plus alot more random moments than I care to admit. And, of course, the usual 'viewer' mail segment.

Another week, another round of arguments from your friends at The Widget. This week, we bid farewell to Zane (for a few weeks at least) as he goes globetrotting for a few months. Topics this week include Introversion's new game Defcon, the new $99 GeForce 7300 GS, Tim and Ryan's first week with World of Warcraft, Ryan's continued dislike of the MacBook, what videocard is right for you, and more. Also, we do the listener mail, and surprisingly, no hate mail this week! Go us! See you guys next week.

Okay everyone, I promise that this will be the last of the flurry of content this week. On this action packed episode, we discuss the new MacBook with a fresh set of eyes, and a fresh set of specs. Also, we go down the list of upcoming games that some of you may want to check out, Tim and Ryan give in to the temptation of WOW, Cheeks builds a new comptuer, and Tim debates his next hardware upgrade. Plus, your mail and more on this explosive episode of The Widget.

Good evening Widgetheads. This week brought us a ton of interesting things to talk about, what with CES in Vegas and all. We talk about the newly available Dell 30" LCD (or as we like to call it, ecstasy). Plus, Dell also brings us the new XPC with one helluva SLI setup. 2 gigs of video ram? Yes please! We also dabble on John Carmack's comments on the next-gen systems, and question for how much longer is id going to be the leader in pushing games to the next level.
