Because he hadda open his fat mouth, Robin Gillham was dragooned into helping host this week's extremely JPAG-focused show, alongside Tom Johnson, Randall Smith, and Wesley Johnson. Not enough JPAG, you say? Blame Robin, this week! At least, until he drops from the show.
In this episode:
Rob's reasons for not appearing on the show to date, explained. Robin in 6-form. Finds English literature to be very demanding; interested in Biology, but more interested in the comparatively easier field of politics. Robin 17 going on 18. Has his exams in two months time -- not looking forward to it. Robin from Chester, an old town with old buildings. Robin a recent PS3 acquirer. Robin claims to know German, but "forgot." Knows a suspicious-sounding German insult. Tom Johnson now in school again, and being charged without credit for painful math experiences. Now also playing the part of copyeditor for the school newspaper. His website, http://scriptedevents.com, getting underway, and to focus on original content. Looking for more people to help, he is. Some advice and commiseration from Wesley, founder and chief shill for http://insulinfunk.net. Killzone 2 discussed as a competent shooter. Operation Anchorage appreciated by Wesley. The travails of the Nuka-Cola Challenge. Already obsolete references to the L4D sale at Steam. Randall managing to collect the shreds of his dignity and give props to Clayton et al for the epic pwnage of L4D. Dave Trevaskis now persona non grata. South Africans still beating their schoolchildren. Tom playing Audiosurf. Tom gets an A on his paper about notable press personalities AKA Justin McElroy. Justin's tree-hating post in the JPAG, and his Shorty Awards acceptance speech for the visually impaired. An anecdote of a false burglar alarm and a genuinely disconcerting lack of response from police, as told by Wesley. Randall narrates a vignette from days of his youth in support of the claim that roundhouse kicks and fire alarms do not mix well. Conventions, the stars that attend them, the fans who want pictures with those stars, and the dollars in the pockets of said fans forked over to said stars for said pictures. The Chicago JPAG Meetup pre-empted by a cooking class. Robin Gillham pre-empted by technical difficulties. Matt M's challenge to the JPAG: what to do with a repaired 360 console? Tom Johnson's early response to the question: give it to him, the poor sap. A highly suspicious email read.
