Head Of The Cast

This week, Bill and Jim give the rumor mill a spin when discussing possible specs for the successor to Nintendo's Wii console. In doing so, Jim's feminine side oozes out in a way he wasn't too comfortable with. Last weekend's release of Wes Craven's Scream 4 is touched upon, but the real story is what is happening to the horror movie genre; a continuation of the conversation from last week's episode.  Even though he has troubles pronouncing the name, Bill is pumped for Rock Star Games' newest installment, L.A. Noire. The boys discuss whether or not it's a movie or if it's a game. Or if it's a movie that plays like a game. It's all rather confusing. The conversation moves on into Jim's fear of the uncanny valley. The struggle of graphics versus gameplay is also examined. Amazon's new discounted ad-supported Kindle ebook reader is discussed, leading into a conversation about advertising in media. When is it too much? When is it warranted? Ads annoy Jim. Bill just wants people to shut the hell up.  Recommend
