Hello all,

Because our episodes are so long and not everyone is interested in every topic I have added minute counters here in the episode summary. This way if you just want to listen to TV and Movies you can just skip to that section.

Paperbacks: 3 Min 15 sec

Josh has read The Vampire Armand by Anne Rice. Interesting, but waayyy too much graphic gay loving for any straight person. He also talks about Coraline and Star Wars Episode 1 (odd how the book can be just as bad as the movie)

Video Games: 24 min 20 sec

Chuck and Josh have both played the demo for Just Cause 2 and it is awesome. Josh's wife finally got Final Fantasy XIII and Chuck almost knows who the Origami Killer is in Heavy Rain.

ServersUpPodcast@gmail.com (Joshua Toledo, Chuck Hedden) — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 16:36:00 -0800

Hello all,

Welcome to episode 5 of Servers Up. So for some reason Chuck's mic sounds really horrible this week. He sounded fine while we were recording. We'll see if we can get it better next time. Also I have been busy with school so I wasn't able to make a new intro. Just a warning in case you think you grabbed the wrong episode.

Paperbacks

This week on paperbacks we talk about the interesting failure called the Phoenix Unchained. I hope we don't peak your interest, because this book is bad.

Movies/TV

This week on movies and TV we look to the future and discuss some previews that have caught our attention. Also apparently Spartacus: Blood and Sand should actually be subtitle Slow motion and Soft Core Porn.

This is a big section this week. We discuss a lot of movies (although Wanted seems to be in there a lot) as we talk about what we love and hate about movies. We try to wrap our brains around what some people are thinking when they make some of these movies, or even harder what people are thinking when they like them (Yes Transformers 2, we are all looking at you).

The clips of the song at the very end are from Team America.

Finally got the file loaded.
