Arnold and Egon began this podcast with video games, mainly because Egon knows a heck of a lot about video games, and Arnold, well, Arnold likes to play Egon’s new shiny video games.  They have found that limiting the podcast to ”talkin’ ’bout video games” just isn’t enough to squeeze into their time slot, so they’ve decided to expand their repertoire beyond the tiny universes they find themselves stuck inside when they should be doing something important, to something everyone can relate to:  anything.

That’s right, we have embarked on the challenging mission to bring you a weekly(ish) podcast about ANYTHING.  Now, don’t be surprised if we still cover video games and things like video games (we still don’t have hobbies), we’re still going to tie it all back around, we just don’t want to be misleading by saying ‘this thing is about video games, when it isn’t about video games’ (and we KNOW how nerds can be about their specifics).  We were still toying with the subtle irony of having a show called ‘talkin’ video games’ and ignore the subject completely, but we didn’t think our pants were tight enough for that (a dig at the tight pant hipster crowd, you heard me!).

So, here it is, a podcast that starts off about stories, and ends with video games and name calling.  The perfect remedy for a boring afternoon.

we’re toying with format too, so don’t get too hung up on this.  We’re slimming down and streamlining our outfit. Expect more awesome, and less ‘uh’s’ and ‘umms’

Have fun.

Welcome back!  We have had quite the week full of updates, and they won’t be stopping any time soon!

In this week’s podcast, we briefly touch the crisis pertaining to the Borders bookstore closing it’s doors and how it affects the rest of our consumer culture.  There are some revolutionary ideas included in this show as to how to solve all of the worlds economic problems, and those awkward moments when you don’t quite have the right words to say.  Some classic films are dissected and we find out exactly what nostalgia means to Egon.

Ben and Clark make a valiant return to the world of podcasting with each other, and may have found themselves becoming ‘cheezit slut sluts’, by welcoming the wonderful Shannon Hatch back on the show to spread her unique brand of sarcasm ( but when she says she loves the show…she really means it…really).  A brief discussion is had about strange fetishes we all share, and once again the topic of conversation turns directly to Clark’s obscene online dating habits.  This time we’re prepared and we’re able to provide so much additional information for all of you freaks out there who are sick of the typical online dating scene that you’d be a huge doofus to skip past this episode!

And what better a time to discuss toe sucking in an episode,than moments before THIS bizarre story surfaces across the internet.  Beejoli Shah, at least one of us on the show feel your pain, and embarrassment…and one of us may be extremely jealous of Mr. Tarantino’s accomplishment.

Arnold and Egon have come together to complete their most coherent podcast yet!  We dive right into discussing Q? entertainment and what they have to offer the world of hardcore and casual gaming (and party monsters to boot!).  With the recent release of Child Of Eden, we go back in time to discover more about Rez HD, Lumines, and Meteos.  Some surprise guests swing by from Sesame Street and we have a pleasant song taking us out.  If you only have a few minutes, definitely catch the last ten or fifteen minutes of this one as it has the most organized segment we’ve done!

Expect more of this caliber, and a trimmed down version to download and share!  If you like classic arcade games, we’ll be rolling out more stuff for you folks as well!

Well folks, here we have it, the follow up episode to our E3 predictions from last week.  Were we disappointed?  I guess you’ll have to listen to find out!

Egon let loose on this episode, and we find out exactly how little Arnold actually cares about hardcore gamers.  If you like metaphorical references to male genitalia, then this episode is going to exceed your monthly quota!  (next time we promise to drink less wine and drambuie so our incoherent conversations will eventually become coherent)

If you want to hear our take on a certain system, line of games, or game developers (or our opinion on star fruit…because we have one) drop us a line at downinthewell@gmail.com or leave a comment below!  Thanks for listening, and we have a lot more planned for the future so if you plan on becoming a regular listener, now is the time to start!

We’ll be back for a post E3 wrap-up, and we’ve got more stuff coming through the pipeline…so keep your ear to the ground and bookmark us!

Comedienne Shannon Hatch joins us on this episode, along with Break.com editor Earnest P. There are some great tips about how not to sound like a damn nerd, and how to get all the chicks according to Ben. One of us has a noticeable stuttering problem that we’re sure can be cured with drinking (more, or less, we haven’t decided yet). Everyone shares some fun stories, and we find out about a secret project in the works over at break.com. There is brief mention of the failed rapture, and one of our talented radio personalities shows compassion for murdered animals on the highway…the other…destroys them.

There is so much more to come!

We leave you with our very first movie prediction, discussing the possibility that the film ‘Your Highness’ (starring the emotional James Franco, the Sexy Natalie Portman, and the moderately obese Danny McBride) might be a bust.  So check it out, take notes, and challenge our intellect!

Send all questions and complaints to: benandclark [AT] gmail.com   (we promise to offer you a dignified response…on air….from the bottom of our hearts)

Enjoy.

A monument of an occasion.  Episode four has been released and we should be ashamed of ourselves for exposing you, our loyal fan base to this sort of punishment!  Gallons of the illegal drink ‘Four Loko’ was consumed during the recording of this episode leading us toward an epic of a show (or, an epic disaster!).  We have a lovely young lady join us on the show this week, and she opens wide for Clarks constant sexual probing.  Go ahead and skip around with this one, there’s plenty of gems to discover as you sift through the silt.

There IS more to come, so stay tuned!
