Look up! Look down! Look out! It’s the Widget New Year Spectacular! Ok, ya got me, it’s not really that spectacular… well aside from the fact it’s yet another episode of the most hardcore podcast on earth. This week, we talk up Dead Or Alive 4, and have a discussion on why fighting games aren’t on the PC. Also, we give our impressions of the new Pentium Extreme Edition 955, and we spend some time talking about tech things we are looking forward to in the coming year. And oh yeah, ‘viewer’ mail! w007!

Happy holidays everybody! This week, The Widget comes to you in the full holiday swing with talk about the perfect geek gifts, and that leads to talk about PSP vs. DS, Jack Thompson buying shares in Take Two, proper sound system setup, and how to choose the perfect LCD. And of course, tons of bickering about petty topics, but thats why you love us, right? Plus, as usual, we read some of the more interesting pieces of “viewer mail”, and Zane reminisces about the now defunct Sega Channel.

BTW, our new intro music (I’m sure you noticed) was done by M. Edward Chauvette. Big thanks to him for giving us some awesome new music (that we own now)!

Well, you know. We all want to change the world. Hey! I didn’t see you standing there. Welcome to yet another episode of The Widget. This week, Tim and Zane exchange words on The Revolution, and some of them aren’t very nice. Also, by request, we dabble a bit on America’s Army and what we think of the game. Plus, Intel doesn’t want to help less fortunate countries get computers. Just kidding, but they did have some interesting words for the $100 laptop. Plus, thrill to the sound of Tim munching down on candy during the show! All this and the weekly “viewer” mail.

Yo Widgeteers! This week we talk alot about one of Zane’s favorite types of PC games, MMPROGs….er, I mean MMORPGs. We mention a bit about some of the major upcoming MMORPGs, including the new Conan game, and how Zane loves medieval times because of dragons and stuff. Zane also spends a good chunk of time trying to convince Tim to give in to the addiction of WOW, now that Mike has been caught in it’s grasp. Tim goes on a rant about a Firefox video he saw, and how the bias sucks. Also, we talk about some of the new games we’ve been playing for the XBox 360, Tony Hawk’s American Wasteland and Ridge Racer 6. Plus, we have Tim’s Retro Corner focusing on the history of Ridge Racer, and of course, listener mail. All this and more in this weeks episode of The Widget!
