Summary: Tensions, accusations, and cynicism mar the show this week, almost overshadowing a fantastic interview with Ed Martin of Eutechnyx, who offers some juicy details about things in store for NASCAR The Game: Inside Line. If you're wondering how the Generation 6 cars shake things up in the gaming world, Ed has the answer! Then Kat and Hugh and I talk about Nuketown Zombies, "frunks," events at the D.I.C.E. Summit, dirty homonyms, gaming backlogs, double XP for Transformers, and why the name of this episode is not a typo. But really, you will want to hear the potentially hypocritical drama that erupts over this week's trivia question -- which may or may not have been submitted by a fictional crime kingpin -- then builds to a fervor when we discuss today's controversy du jour, the Jonathan Coulton/Glee #Backgate.
