</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My Internet connection is still less than optimal, but it decided to hold out long enough for us to get a show in &#8212; with great sound quality, no less! With our Vista audio problems squarely behind us (we hope), Thom and I decided to sit down and have a chat about his new camcorder, games we played over the holidays, upcoming products from Apple, and the effects of piracy on the PC gaming market.</p>
<p>We still arent back into our &#8220;current events&#8221; type format, but hopefully we will get there soon &#8212; still trying to get all the rust off, and bring things back up to speed. I am hoping to restore some of our 3rd party feeds, and links to other sites, this week as well.</p>

<h2>Technology</h2>
<ul>
<li>Thom got a new <a href="http://www.theflip.com/store/MinoHD.aspx">HD camcorder</a> for Christmas</li>
<li>Rumors indicate an <a href="http://gizmodo.com/5120420/iphone-nano-case-rumor-again">iPhone Nano</a>, and <a href="http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2008/12/rumor-large-for.html">iPod Touch Tablet</a> may be in the works&#8230;</li>
</ul>
<h2>Gaming</h2>
<ul>
<li>Speaking of the iPhone Tycho over at Penny Arcade <a href="http://penny-arcade.com/2009/1/2/">discusses</a> the difficulty of playing <a href="http://toucharcade.com/2008/12/10/space-deadbeef-a-fun-and-free-shooter-for-iphone/">various</a> <a href="http://imoregames.com/orions.htm">games</a> on the device</li>
<li>Some recruiters are starting to wonder if WoW players <a href="http://forums.f13.net/index.php?topic=15577.0">have the right mindset</a> for the workplace (link is to original forum post &#8212; apparently some other sources have reported the story incorrectly)</li>
<li>Thom has been enjoying <a href="http://2dboy.com/games.php">World of Goo</a> &#8212; but it has been often referenced in the PC <a href="http://arstechnica.com/journals/thumbs.ars/2008/11/14/acrying-shame-world-of-goo-piracy-rate-near-90">piracy debate</a></li>
<li>We loved the original Crackdown and are still hoping a sequel <a href="http://www.gamedaily.com/articles/news/crackdown-2-discussions-ongoing-between-realtime-worlds-and-microsoft/?biz=1">finds its way</a> into production</li>
</ul>
<h2>YouTube of the Week</h2>
<p>For all of you box-opening fetishists here is a video of Thom opening a box &#8212; as recorded with the video camcorder discussed in the episode.</p>

		<itunes:summary>My Internet connection is still less than optimal, but it decided to hold out long enough for us to get a show in -- with great sound quality, no less! With our Vista audio problems squarely behind us (we hope), Thom and I decided to sit down and have a chat about his new camcorder, games we played over the holidays, upcoming products from Apple, and the effects of piracy on the PC gaming market.

We still arent back into our "current events" type format, but hopefully we will get there soon -- still trying to get all the rust off, and bring things back up to speed. I am hoping to restore some of our 3rd party feeds, and links to other sites, this week as well.

Click the link to read the rest of the show notes!


Technology

	Thom got a new HD camcorder for Christmas
	Rumors indicate an iPhone Nano, and iPod Touch Tablet may be in the works...

Gaming

	Speaking of the iPhone Tycho over at Penny Arcade discusses the difficulty of playing various games on the device
	Some recruiters are starting to wonder if WoW players have the right mindset for the workplace (link is to original forum post -- apparently some other sources have reported the story incorrectly)
	Thom has been enjoying World of Goo -- but it has been often referenced in the PC piracy debate
	We loved the original Crackdown and are still hoping a sequel finds its way into production

YouTube of the Week
For all of you box-opening fetishists here is a video of Thom opening a box -- as recorded with the video camcorder discussed in the episode.

That about does it for this week. Hope you enjoy having us back! Questions/Comments should be sent to uncompressedshow@gmail.com</itunes:summary>

<p>This episode is more of a catch up show &#8212; we run through a bunch of games and devices that we have accumulated since the last time we recorded. I know I have said it before, but we are hoping to get back to a regular schedule again. The audio problems that plauged us with our move to Vista on Episode 58 are still present, but not nearly as severe and poptastic &#8212; hopefully I can figure that out before next week.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was finally feeling well enough to do a show &#8212; unfortunately my computer wasn&#8217;t entirely up to the task. While I really dug the topics we covered in this episode, the audio quality is<br />
terrible. Apparently Vista doesn&#8217;t integrate with the mixer for Audition, nor does it integrate with the Creative mixer &#8212; this means that while things sounded fine during recording, the actual audio that was being stored by the computer was peak-clipping like crazy. I cleaned it up the best I could, but it still sounds pretty bad. I will definitely have this fixed for next week. If you are willing to suffer through, we have some great discussions on Guitar Hero 3, and some of the upcoming releases for this week. We also spend a bit of time on a question emailed to us by one of our listeners, Adam. We hope you enjoy the actual content of this episode, keep reading to find out exactly what that content was&#8230;</p>

		<itunes:summary>What was going to be a "short show" spiraled into a full hour of off-the-cuff-discussion about Halo, Simpsons demos, Bungee splitting from Microsoft, Puzzle Quest, and more. Sean couldn't make it for this week's show, so it was old skool U*, Tony and Thom style.



This Week's Mayhem

	Tony is still playing teh Haloz -- despite seriously sucking at multiplayer.
	Thom is rocking the new Simpsons Demo. (which comes out this week on XBL)
	Speaking of which, Rockstar isn't too happy about that demo...
	Is Saint's Row a GTA clone?
	Assassin's Creed, Rock Band, and GH3 are all on the horizon!
	Tony's Z-5450's are teh suck.
	Puzzle Quest is a great DS game that will be hitting the XBLA this week. [DEMO]
	Bungee and Halo split up.
