Okay, just to make it usurp the last podcast as the WORST ONE EVER, why don't you throw in some more American sports talk; perhaps an in-depth discussion about LeBron's wages. Oh, and an analysis of RE6's plot.

Yeah Good Idea. But I think we'll be talking fantasy league Baseball this week. We'll save PE ratios on NBA salaries until NBA preseason.

Fair enough, just make sure you include a lot of tips for us novices. Maybe you could have a whole segment dedicated to the best picks of the round and who to bench?

Well they are taking it up the arse partly because of Germany. So I can't really blame them. Make no mistake the Greek people are getting the raw end of the deal. First they get screwed over by their own government, then by the foreign banks and investment firms and now by foreign countries.

P.S. anyone  here still think Lance Amstrong is innocent?

No^ about L.A.

I saw a couple of documentaries on the Greek financial collapse, the doc claimed that when they joined the Euro suddenly they had these lower borrowing rates, because people thought Germany and other Euro countries would back them. They borrowed far more than they could ever pay back, had some boom years and now this is the bust. They didn't control the govt spending. Also, tax avoidance is rife and the retirement age is 50, it's 65 here and going to be pushed even further. The doc said the main industry was tourism but that is being hit because of the whole economic collapse too. Still though, Merkel as Hitler? Kinda harsh.

Did you guys know that Gamespot has an app on XBL called Gamespot TV where can watch all their different videos like reviews, previews, On the Spot, Now Playing, Start/Select, etc. It's very cool. The funny thing is that it's not just Xbox related stuff they show everything including Wii U stuff and PS3 stuff. Pretty strange watching them play and show off Black Ops 2 Wii U on the 360.

Did they mention if it ran in 720p or 1080p? Did they say full HD again?

Epic Mickey 2 Wii U version

IGN said:

Bringing Epic Mickey 2 to Wii U has resulted in some strange development choices as well. Though it would seem likely (and logical) that port developer Heavy Iron would simply apply Wii’s remote-based controls to this HD counterpart, it doesn’t. In fact, it actually forces the first player (Mickey) to use the GamePad and the second (Oswald) to a remote and nunchuk. There are no plans for Pro controller support, and you can’t use the remote if you’re playing alone. It would have also been great to allow players to take advantage of the GamePad’s built-in map and objective displays while using a different controller, similar to Treyarch’s approach with Black Ops II. These types of omissions are simply baffling, as Wii U, alongside PlayStation 3 with Move, could easily be one of the more ideal consoles for this game. The core concept simply begs for pointer-based controllers - certainly a missed opportunity.

No Off TV play, no pointer controls for single player, just a map and hotkeys for sketches. WTF is the point? I hope they let you gyro aim the paint at least, that would work.

hotkey for sketches? On a pad? If they're not going to use the wii-remote, couldn't they at least have let you draw with a stylus?
