    After a long week at GDC, two-thirds of us are back on our home soil and are ready to podcast. Or at least as ready as we ever are. Expect talk of GDC, oodles of Sony news, a continuation of the Banjo Kazooie debacle and a very special greeting from friend of the show, Cliffy B. Seriously.

    This is the way the world ends ... or at least our podcast form coverage of GDC. We talked about the blogger breakfast, Street Fighter IV, Bionic Commando and some other things that we honestly can't even remember. Hope you enjoy it, and thanks for hanging in there with us through some of our weirdest episodes ever.

    So, let's say you're a blogger who's been covering GDC, but you're not sure you're up to recording a podcast, because you're all really exhausted. Is it still a good idea to try to record a show? After recording our second episode of the GDC version of the podcast we're still not sure. It's still worth listening to though, we think, but we're partial.

    This week's podcast is actually good, but we have no idea why. Is it because we were morning recording? Is it because we're stoked about going to GDC next week? Is it the coffee? We have no idea what the trick was, but since we'll never find it again, you probably shouldn't miss this one. Check it totally out. Also, special thanks to Movie-A-Minute, for reasons that will soon become apparent.

    This week's podcast, besides being a day late, is marred by a completely bizarre test of the PSP Skype system about midway through, which the government has officially ordered that you not listen to (especially if you're pregnant). There's also the usual stuff and a load of your emails. Plus, there's a special guest Joystiq blogger at the end! Check it totally out!

    With news slowed to a slight trickle and good games coming in a torrent, we're forced to veer from the typical format to talk about the games we've been playing. If you're looking for the secret, inside scoop on Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, Rock Band, Kane and Lynch: Dead Men or a bevy of other titles, we've got it. Also, space lesbians, a Brush With Fame and blood balloons. It's a bargain at any price.
