Shots in the Dark 15 - Lost, The Wii Zapper and HD-DVD's Demise! [35:46m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (672)

At long last, Episode 15 is finally finished! We managed to bring together nearly the entire team for this episode, which is chock full of all manner pop culture goodness. We start it off, as always, with a plethora of news bytes, covering everything from the death of HD-DVD, the beginning of Xbox 360’s slow demise, shirts that charge your iPod and the man who farted himself a prison sentence. Seriously! Imoticon and Vince give their expert review of the Wii Zapper, Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles and Link’s Crossbow training. If you’re thinking about picking up this unique accessory, make sure you listen to this first! The entire second half of this show is completely devoted to Lost, one of, if not the finest, shows on television. We will be revealing various theories that we propose to explain the show’s mysteries and perhaps will reveal something so huge…you have to listen to believe it. So what are you waiting for? Download this show now, while supplies last!

You may be wondering what happened to the new Shots in the Dark episode that was supposed to go up this weekend. It was supposed to be all about one of our favorite TV shows, Lost. Unfortunately, the recording of this episode was damaged and cut short when our primary recording interface bit the dust. Our most recent analysis indicates that this breakdown was caused by a highly-focused electro-magentic pulse sent from Alpha Centurai 9. But fear not, Shots fans! We are putting a new infrastructure in place as I write this that is harder, better, faster and stronger then the last. Just like Kanye. Actually, its more like Daft Punk and less like Kanye. Maybe it will be something like this. Or maybe not. Regardless, look for our new episode, all about robots…I mean Lost…next week.

 

 Shots in the Dark #14: Y: The Last Man and Brian K. Vaughn! [1:03:17m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (554)

Alas, our favorite comic has come to a close. Of course, we’re talking about Brian K. Vaughn’s masterpiece, Y: The Last Man. Over the past 6 years, we’ve laughed, cried and perhaps even screamed aloud in public. We’ve followed closely the journey of Yorick Brown, the last man on Earth, as he searched for love and the meaning of life. We’ve dedicated this very special episode of Shots in the Dark to discussion of Y, beginning with a Y: The Last Man-themed Gatling Geek and a review of the series’ finale, Issue 60.

If you haven’t yet had the pleasure to enjoy this amazing work of art, fear not! We were very careful to keep the show almost completely spoiler-free. So take a listen and when you’re done, be sure to click on over to our forums to tell us what YOU think.
