Jerk Radio turns one year old! Huzzahs are in order! The usual gang gets together to completely forget about our birthday until the last minute! There's also some stuff about Issue 13 on Test, so those of you who still listen to us for the CoX content should be happy, right? Right?
Jerk Radio gets ultra-spooky! And not like the traditional sense! Adam, OHak, and Trace babble a little bit about the Halloween event, then things go way off the beaten path and we talk about other video games and game shows(?).

In which we talk about Issue 12's new stuff, such as Cima-Cimmer-Cimerra-...Rome, along with the new epic archetypes villains can experience (crab jokes aside). Plus the Bio of the Week, a special Challenge Mode, and no awkward lag-induced connection issues!
In which Adam Nelson takes a field trip to San Francisco to visit the CEO of Earth, Scott Sharkey. They are joined by Victor Nuti and his girlfriend Jenna, friends of Adam. From there, the conversation ceases to be about City of Heroes and becomes something even more awesome.

Discussion regarding Issue 11, the new powersets and content, and how awesome the Jerks are. You're off the edge of the map. Here, there be numbers.
