Like the audio version of Just A Geek, this is a super-annotated edition, filled with tons of what I call "audio footnotes" for lack of a less stupid-sounding term.

Think Geek always has great shirts, but Wil Wheaton points to one which is particularly funny.
Which reminds me:
In talking about shows and movies which are ripe for the DM of the Rings treatment, I think the richest target out there is Star Trek: TN... [Read More]
