Podcast: Trigames.NET Podcast Episode 108 - Thack Jompson DISBARRED! [Written 2008-09-30] 
John Bruce Thompson and The Bar are no longer friends. Divorced. Worst enemies. Bitter rivals. For those who love their videogames, this might seem like a boon. But dollars to doughnuts this guy resurfaces. Whatever. He's gone for now!
John Bruce Thompson and The Bar are no longer friends. Divorced. Worst enemies. Bitter rivals. For those who love their videogames, this might seem like a boon. But dollars to doughnuts this guy resurfaces. Whatever. He's gone for now! Also. Ensemble shocked at being shut down. EA shocked at being hit with a lawsuit over Spore DRM. Us shocked that Miyamoto would dare suggest that it'd be nice if musical education began with Wii music. Metaboli shocks the world by not letting GameTap die (yay!). Activision shocking no one by registering for DDR I mean Dance Hero, because dancing is shockingly heroic! We also discuss (somewhat unsuccessfully) the possibilities of a DRM-free gaming world what with Good Old Games in the mix. We also read a few more Red Ring of Death stories as well as some of your online gaming horror stories with the good old ignorant doofuses of the online community. Oh, and a special guest appearance by Mr. Miyagi.

Ensemble shocked at dying:

The price wars are in effect! Nintendo, care to play your hand? "Nope."
