Chris was on vacation this week and just got back yesterday. Due to horrible bandwidth from the $10/day freakin' internet at the resort he was staying at, we missed our recording session on Thursday. But, we recorded yesterday so all is well. And Jason, with is incredible editing skizillz got the file ready! Anyway... enough bitching. With all the portable gaming that's been going on with the InDis crew, we thought it would be a good idea to talk about the portable gaming in general and how it's changed and where it may be going. We do so in a very... unstructured... fashion. There was a strong desire to throw in the old Gameboy tagline "Now you're playing with Power... Portable Power," but we forgot. So, enjoy!

He also talks a little about Undertow. Chris talks more about Uncharted, as well as a couple PSN releases... including *Pain. Another long episode though. We seem to be going backwards on this one. However, it's all good content. At least we think it is. Chris got a new mic, and now we are in search of new recording software b/c we continue to have trouble. Apologies, there are a few times when someone will cut out.

Please email us your comments and suggestions for question of the week to email@interactivedistractions.com (mailto:email@interactivedistractions.com) *During the episode, Chris comments that there is "an issue" with the "Super Ooch" in Pain. The reason for this problem was that he had his Rock Band instruments still plugged in at the time. You have to have your controller set to Controller 1 upon entering the game. So, if you are having this issue, make sure your controller is set to port 1 BEFORE entering the game.
