The intellectual life is the good life.
Lusipurr and SiliconNooB settle down for a long winter’s evening spent discussing the Cricket and the latest artistic endeavours of the video game industry; a reading of the poetry of Donne is featured, and the Saints’ Lives of Aelfric of Eynesham!
WolfeBest. Opening. Ever.

You guys made this a very enjoyable podcast but really only because I love classic rock. Quite a difference from last week. You also made writing the Info Blast a tremendous pain.

Andrew 'Mel' MelconI’m impressed you managed to find what little info was in this week’s podcast for which to blast at us. Thank you, as always and I hope your ears weren’t too damaged in the process.
DiceAdmiral@Mel
After hearing the intro, I was expecting there to be less actual content than there was. It was mostly just brief mentions though rather than discussion. It can be pretty enjoyable doing the digging for these, and this was one of those cases.
Matt DanceI was sooo looking forward to what was promised in the description, but that’s okay, it was a fun ride nonetheless.
Andrew 'Mel' MelconYou’re welcome!
Lusipurr@MattDance: TAGS HOLD THE SECRET
WolfeI’d just like to pop in again to say that this is one of the funniest damn casts you guys have done this side of Bup.
LusipurrTOP SCORE!!!
Iliya MoroumetzLusi; I am impressed. You are the second person that has been able to say my handle correctly, and probably has a good idea as to the origin of it in the first place.
And, I will admit, this was one of the few times when your failed attempts at controlling your cohosts did not fill me with complete disgust! Maybe it was because it had no drunken Gyme acting like a fool.
All good songs and excellent singing by Mr. Priveteer. Though, I would eagerly throw my hat in the ring to challenge him to a sing off!
SiliconN00B[I am a] Pretentious cunt.

Lusipurr>:E
James 'Gyme' PagelI do not not agree with you, Julian.
Iliya MoroumetzEh, I’ve been called worse.
Lusipurr@Iliya: Not by Gyme and SN, who are cruising for a ban!
