Wow, sorry we’re late and all that. This episode had to be carefully reconstructed from bits and pieces of random wav files found on a server that had been buried under the fireplace of a cabin in the woods. Or something like that. Anyways, we had some SERIOUS issues and show-stopping snags this week, and hopefully, they are resolved. But yes, here is the show. Topics include:
- XBox 360 Rumor Control
- Nights sequel for the Revolution?
- MacBooks that ship with XP on them
- 750 gig hard drives and you (or, why I stopped worrying and learned to love perpendicular storage)
- Are nVidia and Ati out to get us?
All that, your calls, your mail, and our smiling faces on… The Widget.

And here it is, the largest gathering of Widget cast members in one place at one time. This week, join Tim, Zane, Ryan, Jym and Garrett in studio. And, all the way from merry olde England, we have Kurt and CountZer0! Yes, that’s right, the Quest for CountZer0 has met with success! Topics this week include “Nipplegate” for the new Tomb Raider game, a brief mention of Boot Camp for Intel Macs, and a sprinkling of tech and gaming related goodness. Plus, we get a visit from a random Widget fan, and make a really cool announcement regarding future call-ins. Now, one thing to mention, this weeks episode is truly intended for MATURE AUDIENCES! Seriously. There is plenty of totally offensive content contained in this particular episode. You have been warned.

Hey everyone! Tim here, writing up another weeks worth of Widget posting goodness. This week, CountZer0 brings us some pretty big news of a certain company possibly re-entering the console wars…. could it be, SEGA? Just maybe… Also, AGEIA dropped some pretty big physics processor demos this week, but why did CellFactor look like crap? Ubisoft gets a nice lawsuit slapped on them for their Starforce screw-ups, UMD finally gets the swipe from the grim reaper, Ryan gushes some praise on Oblivion while Zane argues, and much more. We also announce the start of Kurt’s Quest For CountZer0, which kicks off on sunday. All this and your viewer mail! Later gang.
