You know, it’s funny: given the lack of flying cars, laser guns, or effective, universal health care, I hear many complaints that, for 2008, this doesn’t really feel like “the future.” Maybe they’ve got a point, but they neglect to recognize one thing: wedohave the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. According to the radio show: “…though it cannot hope to be useful or informative on all matters, it does make the reassuring claim that where it is in accurate, it is at leastdefinitivelyinaccurate.”
So, you can access afrequently inaccurate world encyclopediaon a small, sleek,friendly-looking black box, where you can thentranslate any languageand educate yourself about the impendingVogonraids. Who says this isn’t the future?
Anyway, we’re Podtoiding tonight, and we’ll be talking almost exclusively aboutThe King of Kong, which comes out on DVD today. If you wanna ask us questions about the documentary, that’s alright; if you wanna ask us something totally unrelated, that’s great, too. Either way, if your question kicks a sufficient amount of future-ass, you’ll win 25 future-bucks.
