Not just another summer sequel with Hamlet 2. Does Castle Crashers live up to its name? We discover a Traitor! Mario Super Sluggers swings for the fences. Plus, the good and bad of Warren Ellis
This week in Movies:
Alex, Dan, and Jeff may have crowned the funniest movie of the summer too soon! The Steve Coogan comedy, Hamlet 2, might just be a worthy successor to one of the best theater parodies of all time, Waiting for Guffman.
The new thriller, Traitor, is about a man suspected of being a terrorist. Find out if the guys are wit' 'em or again' 'em.
This week in Video Games:
The Wii launch title, Wii Sports, offered a fun, if simplistic baseball minigame. Now, Nintendo has expanded the concept and thrown its trademark characters into the mix with Mario Super Sluggers. Alex, Dan, and Jeff grab their wiimotes to knock this game out of the park.
The string of excellent Summer '08 downloadedable titles continues this week with The Behemouth's Castle Crashers . The guys endure the broken online mode to enjoy some retro-arcade goodness.
This week in Comics:
Warren Ellis' prolific career includes some of the most imaginitive and challenging comic book work of the last decade. Alex, Dan, and Jeff check out a couple of his most popular series, Planetary and Transmetropolitan.

First off... Love the show... keep up the great work!!
Second, I love this game. When I first saw it and played at my brother-in-law's house I thought it was a liitle goofy, but after I started playing it I couldn't put my controller down. When I got home I decided to download and buy it. My 7 year old and I have spent several hours running thru this adventure. Love the animation, love the 'leveling up', love the magic... this is a alot of fun :D
I have to agree with the TRS guys.... I prefer to play alone or with maybe one more person. There are times where there is so much action going on that you lose yourself and you end up mashing buttons to see where you are. Haven't tried playing this online, yet, but am enjoying playing and watching the game. Definitely worth the download!!

"Yep. We have crickets. We shoot the show in a garage. That garage has crickets. We do our best with what we've got :)
-Jeff"
OMG!! You shoot the show in a garage and have crickets? How can this be the first we've heard of this in 76 shows? Next you're gonna tell me that occasionally Steve hires people to mow his lawn and the sweet dulcet tones of the yard work interfere with the taping.

"I agree. It's very annoying.
Speaking of annoying, did anyone hear the constant squeaking? I don't know what it was... crickets maybe? :confused:"
You weren't the only one. I thought at first that is was prager or hippy glen crushing sound effects to let them know they're getting long winded.

"oh gawd, the intro was great! i remember that ad from way back. memories...
Great Castle Crashers review, i was waiting for it. and Dan, we should play together cuz it's extremely fun with more people. Jeff is right, i tried single and it's not as much fun by yourself. it's a definite multi game. anyways, we gotta play together again soon.
btw, the new backgrounds ROCK! nice job Gustav (sp?). \m/"
Thanks. sp! m!
SOKKA: I use a program called Painter when I draw. Not a lot of fancy layer effects or filters. What I like about it is that it simulates traditional media very well.

Loved the intro it was great. Not to down the Dan or Alex but hell Jeff can act pretty good.
I really REALLY love the new background especially the comic book one with the costumes hanging on a wire.
I'm Feelin ya Seniormember on the BurnNotice review but alas I don't think they care so much as it has been brought up several times. Their loss.

Terrorist fist bump to Dan and Jeff on recalling that rubrics magic! I remember spending countless hours messing around with that thing :D
Also found it funny with your crushes on Elisabeth Shue, definitely had one on her too back in the day.
Great show as always...

I definitely liked that opening, but not as much as the u wanna get nuts 1. And the rubics cube thing was cool. and as always those three were hilarious. I always look forward to Tuesday a.k.a raddest day of the week. I also like the new backgrounds a little better, 'cept the comic 1 that is awesome. and i love seeing off green screen things (Dan becomes a man, G4,Rubics cube tournament, even tho they werent actually there.
