It happens to everyone. One minute you’re enjoying a hardcore game of Donkey Kong Jr., and the next you’re breezing through Mass Effect 2 on the hardest difficulty. It’s not you’re fault; games are getting easier. If you’ve got a hankering for some serious difficulty in all your favorite games, have we got a product for you! It’s called Tape (TM)! Tape (TM) is simple and inexpensive. Simply apply Tape (TM) to any part of the body that you use for gaming, and the experience automatically gets harder than galvanized steel! Tape (TM) can be applied to the eyes or used to tie your hands behind your back. How 1337 can you get? Use Tape (TM) to secure yourself to your chair, and you can finally play Bioshock 2 in Iron Bladder mode! Win while using Tape (TM) to prove once and for all how hardcore you really are!

All four hosts are finally back together again as we tackle our first community suggested topic. Are games getting easier? Is that a bad thing? Where and how did Brent lose his underpants? Were they boxers or briefs? Download and listen today to find out!
