Judge John Hodgman decides ... is using a strategy guide cheating?

You may find this hard to believe, but we agree with you: Video game podcasts are boring! Here are the games we've been playing; here's a digested audio blast of the week's news; here's an email from a fourteen-year-old with an entitlement complex. We're glad to be done with them.

But we've got a problem: There's an overwhelming dearth of non-video game podcasts about video games. So it's with great pleasure that we bring you the following news: The latest episode of Judge John Hodgman, the popular comedy podcast featuring the titular nerd wunderkind, is titled Tips and Tricks and Justice (trivia: You have our own Justin McElroy to thank for the title). The case before Judge Hodgman: Is using a strategy guide for a video game tantamount to cheating. To help Hodgman render a verdict, he's enlisted expert witness Morgan Webb who brings some street cred to the proceedings.
