The show returns to quality, at least from an audio perspective. Hosts James Gillard, Wesley Johnson, Russ Walsh, Clayton Ashley, and Randall Smith gibber and jabber about jelly, G-Unit, and games of all sorts, and do so in the context of new theme music to boot.

In this episode:
Russ lives in boring, periodically-invaded-by-Mongols Eastern Washington. Clayton working at the paper, and we are all looking forward to the Watchmen movie. James bangs around on his desktop through the episode. James working on a curriculum integrating use of Rock Band and/or Guitar Hero in his school. James puts Randall down for uttering the trademark sounds and sound effects from Little Britain. "Help the Police" from Rush Hour pimped. James's karaoke success. Clayton not following Battlestar Galactica, like a chump. Clayton over the moon on Noby Noby Boy, and still enthused about Homeworld. Wesley playing Fiddy's BoTS. Ben Gilbert's life in danger. The latest gems from the New Cypress News. Murderous book recommendations. Hatred for Edison and love for Tesla, in some detail. Great Sci-Fi movies never made, and the book that tells all. Crank recommended. The premise for the sequel to Crank questioned. The progress of the Chicago JPAG Meetup. The disappointing absence of Wes at the Chicago JPAG Meetup. Inappropriate photos on the JPAG. The amusing other Joystiq fan group and Russ's infiltration thereof. Threads in the JPAG, from "Who'da Thunk It?" to "Redemption in Games."
