Your irreverent host was in a grumpy mood when we recorded Episode 35, which means that he misbehaved on the show quite a lot. This resulted in even more shouting and screaming than usual, and some things that were so risqué and personal, Wardrox probably cut them out. On this episode, we ask Atheistium why she keeps lying aboutVelvet Assassin, we imagine what Keith Vaz would look like naked on a bed of silk pillows while singing Eurythmics songs, and we consider the philosophical standpoint of a Nazi kiddyfiddler....

Basically their “contest” is to spam everyone with a trailer to get free stuff for yourself. The cars in question are the Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible, the Lamborghini Murciélago LP 650-4 Roadster , and the Dodge Viper SRT10 Convertible Final Edition. Cars! They are also happy that Autolog is a huge success....

The last time I saw Halbrick’sJetpack Joyrideit wascalledMachine Gun Jetpack. That was back in March, when the Australian developer had brought out an early version of the iOS game to show us at GDC. Months later, the final game — which hits the App Store on September 1 — isn’t a wholly different experience (it’s still a “runner” game), but the months of polish sure do show through. While my full review won’t be up until next week, here’s a quick video look at the game in action to get you prepped for its release....
