This week, Chris and Mack announce the T-shirt contest winners, how Rock Band on the Wii may or may not be awesome (you be the judge! A new interactive feature!), the cramp-inducing Guitar Hero DS peripheral is revealed, and they talk a bit about SNL after the writer's strike. You know what else is awesome? The rest of the podcast, that's what. This includes a discussion of affairs medical, affairs scientific, affairs cryptozoological and affairs regarding magic powder.

I enjoyed the show, as always. :D
They released a hilariously corny Guitar Hero DS trailer, where you can see people holding the DS/Guitar Hero peripheral and playing the game. You really get the feeling that the trailer is far more enjoyable than the full game could ever be. It's viewable here:

That Guitar Hero DS trailer is hilarious. It's like they're physically trying to look like they're having fun, and failing.

That trailer really is hilarious. It doesn't look as cramp inducing as I thought now that I've seen it in people's hands... but what is that? Is that guy blowing on his DS? Fucking hell. I thought we got rid of the stupid ass blowing games back when Wario Ware forced us to blow at our DSes for an entire group of minigames.

OK, I'm confused. Are Jinny- Site Editor, and your girlfriend the same person? And was it your girlfriend/Jinny talking at the end of the show?
