Uncompressed.org - A weekly podcast dedicated to geek life!

The Uncompressed train keeps on chuggin down the track with this, our 44th edition. For those of you that had a hard time paying attention all through last week’s mammoth show you can breathe a sigh of relief that we have managed to wrangle the beast that is Uncompressed into its 1 hour sized cage. This weeks show covered everything from cellphones, and video games, to birthday drinking binges — in other words, you degenerates are in for a good time!

And that does it for this week! During the show I also made reference to a Penny Arcade comic offering commentary on the 360 points craze, for those wondering what I was rambling about here is the comic.

Thanks for listening!
