If there is anything that makes me sigh, it’s the “special release” extended versions of films. There is a little voice inside of my head (louder than the rest of the voices) – we’ll call her, “AngryTaraHulk” and AngryTaraHulk rants, “I paid ten bucks to see this in the theatre and those Hollywood twatwaffles withheld a chunk of the film so they could resell it to me, but only after I bought the normal version on DVD?! AngryTaraHulk smash!”

Of course, I buy it anyway.

This week, we discuss Lord of the Rings (coming out on Blu-ray extended version) and the upcoming Game of Thrones (HBO) series on April 17th. The aforementioned has both us so excited, we almost didn’t even notice that OMG and LoL have been added to the O.E.D.

And last but way more importantly, we peek into the listener mail bag.

• Thanks to “EagleNegg, whoever and wherever you are.
• Thanks to StryxNYC for the awesome email.
• Thanks to Justin “Onyersix” for the great iTunes review.
• This week’s featured nerd rage song, Being a Dickhead’s Cool thanks to Dina, for the link.

Oh Fenris, my emo elven warrior companion, what does it take to win your heart? I have this sinking feeling that no matter how much time I spend walking around in Kirkwall trying to suck up to you, my efforts will only lead me to a blackout scene followed by some pouty dialogue. Which, all things considered, isn’t very different from trying to score in real life. Nonetheless, I stare into those those twin cesspools of– uh, err, wait, is that my eyeliner you’re wearing? Well, this sure is awkward.

*ahem*

Hello fair internet traveler. Welcome to episode 101! This past week, life presented each of us with our very own pathogen opportunity for a lot of XBOX time, which is the sort of thing one needs after a 24 hour gaming marathon. With NyQuil in tow, Cassandra and I put some attention to our copies of Dragon Age 2.

Although I have completed the game, this discussion focuses on game mechanics and how well we like and dislike the game.

Our show break features an “Oh My Gawd Dude” nerd rage remix, with a smile.

Our apologies that we did not read from the mail bag this week. We have your emails saved and I would like to give some extra attention to them next week. In the meantime, please keep that feedback rolling to tmpgoti@gmail.com.

This week is a hodge podge of topics and silliness. Tara’s found out she’s rank one of the top 3 female RB6V2 player and Sassy’s had a week from hell, which was made better by some great chatting. In the second half we talk about Dragon Age 2, NEStalgia, and Watson the super computer, and then tackle a boat load of listener mail.

Enjoy!
