Battlestar Galactica 4.0 is out now

There is a certain show that me and Matt talk about a lot, it includes robots, people robots, and people, who don’t seem to trust themselves or anyone (paranoid). 

Season 4.0 is out now, and it is available at many fine establishments. If you are dieing to get into the series then there is an amazon specific bundle that contains seasons 1 through 3 ine a nice little package. You can snag it at amazon or target only apparently.

Don’t forget, that in less than two weeks the final episodes of Battlestar Galactica will air on the Sci Fi channel. It retuns on the 16th of January to be exact, that’s a Friday by the way. In the meantime you can watch their 10 part webisode series, which isn’t bad at all. 

If you need to catch up on the last few episodes of season 4.0 before you watch 4.5 (aka The Final Episodes) then you can hit up Hulu if you don’t feel like buying season 4.0. Besides, Hulu rocks. Seriously, they’ve become better than I remember. Keep on truckin’ Hulu.

Well, that’s all the news for now. Have fun kids.

P.S. If everything goes right, you may have a new podcast come Monday.

An article for now

Hey everyone, it’ll be awhile before we’re back up and putting out podcasts for you since you have everything we’ve done and with all the holidays (and even a wedding) Matt and myself haven’t been able to get together for a recording session. I swear that’ll all change soon though. We will be back soon… I hope. Regardless, we will be back. 

In the meantime a new article has come out from Wizards regarding the next new class from the players hanbook 2. If you read carefully, you might have noticed this class listed in the minotaur article. That is now 3 out of 4 roles with the primal power source. In case you’ve forgotten you have the druid for controlling, barbarian for striking, and now this class for defending. There weren’t a lot of nature based classes before, back in the 3.5 ed days, and I really wonder exactly what they’ll use for the leader class role. Hmm… speculation time!

We talk a lot about TV shows and just in case you might have forgotten, a lot of them are finally in swing again after the holidays. Namely: House M.D., Dexter, Sanctuary, and the final episodes of Battlestar Galactica. Now these are really only the shows I watch heavily and almost religiously for some.

I’d talk about exactly what I’ve come to love and hate about the Clone Wars series, but I’ve been talking too long already.

Have fun kids.
