The Lost Episode Got LostYou 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.
