Chaos continues to reign as we cross the halfway point. Patrick Klepek is there, drunk people are around. Dave and Norm quaff Black Blood of the Earth, and I'm pretty sure Dave sees a dragon in this episode. Alexis suddenly disappears and Robbie Baldwin talks about Area 51. Static clears up about 10 minutes in.
Will, Norm, Gary, and Patrick are joined by Tekzilla's Veronica Belmont, who leads off with a seemingly innocent question. Then Brad Shoemaker takes a seat, Dave's sister Karen makes an appearance, and things are poised to get Double Fine.
Dan Stapleton leads off this episode, but it quickly gets chaotic. Maybe Patrick Klepek was here? Pretty sure Gordon Mah Ung was around. Things happened for sure. Oh shit, Ryan's coming over.
Jeff Green swings by OCTOBERKAST to talk about elevators, birthdays, and unicorns. Gordon Mah Ung swings by to troll Gary, and Dan Stapleton doesn't speak Spanish.
On this section of the Octoberkast, Jeff Gerstmann, Ryan Davis, and Patrick Klepek announce the game that will be in the next Giant Bomb Endurance Run and Roger Chang talk Star Trek plumbing. Yeah, that's right.
Hour 3 of Octoberkast starts with Loyd Case talking about the intersection between board games and technology, then PC World's Jason Cross brings Acer's first ultrabook by for a test spin.
We start the show with a whimper, restart it, and then Colin Campbell joins us. iPhone 4Ses arrive, and Will lovingly strokes his box. Yeah, that's right. Box stroking.
On a somewhat somber episode, Will, Norm, Gary, and Brad talk about the legacy of Steve Jobs, the new iPod updates, iPhone 4S, Siri, the end of the Zune HD, TV on Xbox, and the state of PC gaming.
On this week's episode, Will complains about analog metaphors, Norm wonders if there's ever a bad time to Tweet, Alexis explains the ins and outs of wiki design, and Matt describes a Canadian bus ride.

On this week's episode Norm expresses disdain for the new Facebook changes, Will regales the gang with tales of his childhood road trips, and Gary expresses his love of coffee.

On this week's show, Norm answers an unanswerable question, Gary is afraid of ducks, and Will talks really really fast. All that, plus what we tested at PAX and another episode of fake outtakes. This show is dedicated to Theros the Enforcer and @Rufo, without whom it wouldn't exist. Enjoy!
On this week's episode, we don't talk about Steve Jobs resigning from Apple because we recorded it on Wednesday morning due to PAX. We'll talk about Steve on this Sunday's episode, at PAX. I promise. On this show, we talked about the TouchPad firesale, Sony's S1, Rdio's family plan, Sonic.Net's fiber service at Stanford, and a whole lot more. We also had fake outtakes. Sorry again that we missed the Apple thing.
