Joystiq Podcast 056 - Womb of Freedom edition
Hooray for America! You're having another birthday and we're celebrating with another edition of the apex of your cultural contribution to the annals of history: The Joystiq Podcast. We're talking PS3 firmware 2.40, and finally picking a winner for the You Have To Write the Lyrics contest.
Also, huzzah for the JPAG's Markus Wilson for his incredibly, tear-jerkingly patriotic photoshopping. Oh, and this is our first video podcast, not that you'll be able to see it.
