Here's Communitoid Episode 022 - Nailed it! In this episode Joanna becomes a soccer mom and tries not to starve, Beccy visits stately Wayne Manor, Conor shoots us all in the face, Aaron won't stop making podcasts, and guest host Eric AKA Swishiee AKA the StreetPass Monster tells us about the time he watched Gobun poop. We also welcome a shit-ton of noobs, discover that Conor might be unkillable, and find out Beccy's dad is a total badass. Plus lots of PAX stories! Enjoy!

Karen Chu joins me this week to talk about her unique journey to and through the video game industry - who would've thought architecture was a possible path? We also talk about her many podcasting adventures including "The Legendary Thread" and World of Warcraft's impact on her life, "The Geekbox" and the joy of arguement, and her new podcast "Good Job, Brain!". Specifically on her new podcast, we discuss the humble origins of the podcast and the extensive research and care involved in getting the podcast funded on Kickstarter. Follow Karen on Twiter @momopeche and be sure to check her out on "The Geekbox" at geekbox.net and her very own "Good Job, Brain!" at goodjobbrain.com. Run Time - 1:06:04 Send your feedback to feedback@justtalkingpodcast.com.
Wherein we discuss the return of our most polarizing guest host, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Modern Warfare 2, Dragon Age: Origins, really nerdy Magic: The Gathering rules arguments (we apologize in advance), The Boondock Saints II, really bad tattoos, the impending end of Dollhouse (but hopefully not Joss Whedon's crazy career), the evil side of Alton Brown, and the upcoming Legendary Thread reunion. Starring Ryan Scott, Karen Chu, Andrew Fitch, Ryan Higgins, and Patrick Joynt.

The calendar says February but from the killer crop of games in Whatcha Been Playin? you'd think it was still the holidays. We've got inFAMOUS, Prototype, God of War 3, Watchmen, and more. And if that wasn't enough, the February NPD sales figures kickoff an equally packed second segment. Weekend definitely confirmed.
