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!

After a bit of a hiatus, the Shots in the Dark crew has returned with a new show for your eardrums. We’ve changed up the format a bit, making things leaner, tighter and even more ridiculous. On this show, we cover the latest news on Bungie, Halo 3, Half Life 2 and Newsarama.com. In addition, we’ve got extensive video game reviews of blockbusters Bioshock and Halo 3. JB also brings back our Red Sabre segment, with the latest news from the world of Star Wars. Tune in and shout out with your comments below. We always welcome comments, questions, kudos, jibes and digs.

At Wizard World Chicago, Shots in the Dark got the chance not only to play Bioshock ahead of its release next week, but also to have a nice talk with Joe McDonagh about the game and its development. So sit back, relax, and laugh at foreign colloquialisms. Here it is, another WWC SitD Pocketcast!

No, we’re not having a sexual encounter with Harry Potter (though I’m sure Janelle…and MAYBE Vince wouldn’t mind). We’re gonna be rocking Wizard World Chicago starting in, oh, about 2 hours! Boo-yizzle! Look TONIGHT for the premier of our all-new all-different feature that we’ve been promising for about 2 months, THE POCKETCAST! We’ve got so DAMN much content coming to you this weekend, it can’t be contained in a simple show, so we’ll be putting it out in bite-sized bits. Look for Panel coverage here and from us and our other Best Shots and Newsarama friends at the Newsarama site, and look forward to interviews with creators, cosplayers, and editors, oh my! So if you want the best Wizard World coverage around, join Newsarama, Shotgun Reviews, and Shots in the Dark for a killer weekend!
