wow. I couldnt watch the podcast live last night, so I was watching it today. Earlier on wednesday I was chatting in the pcper irc room and mentioned that my grandmother passed away from heart failure that morning. Josh's impromptu cheers to her memory was very touching and heart felt.
Josh along with the rest of pcper are top class gentlemen and its a pleasure to see them every week and chat with them on IRC. Even though grandma didnt know the difference between a PC and an NES, im sure she would have gotten a kick out of this. Thanks so much.

Nice, I've got something to listen to while I'm editing.

It's not so much going to love it as it is me and Jordan Cwang on that particular subject, Josh Walrath!

It finally hit me. Charlie Runkle from Californication

[Lesiunta]

Why was Josh Walrath so sad in this episode? Did the brewski supply run dry?

[trippplefive]

why didn't you use the Windows 98 safe to shut down screen at the end? fail. 

[robbyranderson]

those home theater little pc devices are a joke for the price just build a system ur self and get abit more performance if they want to sell them they need to lower the price besides the amazon fire pro that looks like an amazing deal

why do you have someone named nsfwshow in your skype list?
