This week, hear the soothing sounds of Jason coughing himself to death after being struck with the bird flu. Ok, so he doesn’t really have bird flu, but he’s still choking to death. Anyway, this episode we go down the list of 11 signs that you’re no longer a hardcore gamer and discover that we are guilty of almost all of them. Plus a quick talk about the epic fail that is the new AMD Phenom chips. It’s pretty sad when their spiffy new three-core processor is slower than their old dual-core ones. Last but not least, we got some really awesome email from our listeners! And Wari; hugs not drugs.

Yowza! Look out cadets! Commander Tim here to bring you your weekly perscription of awesome. This time, Jason and I talk about retro gaming and it’s place in the modern console age. Should developers start taking a cue from Capcom and actually improve old game mechanics while using the newest technologies to bring them up to date? We think so, and outline what should be done, and while we’re at it, we hit on the wackiness that is the European Rock Band pricing fiasco and the death of Games For Windows magazine. In movie news, we run down the list of the upcoming summer blockbusters and give our picks of what you should be looking out for, and halfway through, we’re joined in studio by our special guest Wayne, who hangs with us to enjoy a drunk Jeff Goldblum pushing iMacs.

Hey all! Time for yet another installment of the Commander Tim Cast. First, let me direct your attention to the new intro song we’re sporting, and then let me direct your attention to the face beating you’re about to get from this show. This week, CountZer0 and I discuss the recent announcement of how XBox Live will be dealing with cheaters. Plus, a little bit about the upcoming Guitar Hero Aerosmith game, and why it’s both a good thing and a bad one.
