Episode 98 – This is Only a Test – 12/29/2011
On this week’s episode, Gary talks Holiday loot, Norm makes insane (but accurate) predictions, and Will is trapped in a box. All that, and the gang recaps the tech successes and failures of 2011, and makes bold predictions for what’ll happen in 2012. Plus, no fake outtakes. It’s the last podcast of the year!

Thanks,

Seconded.
That’s not a shoe. YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG WILL!
About time he got a better hairstyle.
to Gary: i love my transformer (OG). i do as much/play as many games if not more on it than i did on my ipad (that i gave to my brother and sister in law). The keyboard dock makes it even easier to take notes than when i tried on the ipad. It might not be the popular opinion, but i would take the transformer (or the prime, since its a more powerful version) over the ipad.
edit: to wills prediction of someone dropping an android skin: the only one i can see doing that is Moto if Google’s buyout goes through. Anyone else, no chance, even though Sense is horrible, and one of the main reasons i will never buy an HTC phone (unless its a nexus)
I seem to be able to watch this but I am not premium! Hmm…
Norm, there’s “James May’s Toy Stories” and “James May’s Top Toys” (all of which get covered in Toy Stories). Spoilers, he builds a 2 story HOUSE out of LEGO! The whole series is awesome, but LEGO is the best one.
I disagree with the New Xbox E312 prediction as Microsoft has already decided to announce Halo 4, so if they had hardware in the pipes for a 2013 release, why wouldn’t that be the big launch title? It would be stupid to release a game so big one year on old hardware only to upgrade the system the following year as they really have no other big cash cows right now.
Halo 2 – released Nov 2004. Xbox 360 – release Nov 2005. You were saying?
There’s always got to be the smart Alec… ; ) Alright fair enough, I still think Halo 4 should launch the system though, especially if they want to continue momentum over Sony/Nintendo.
p.s. I don’t like Halo.
The next Xbox will sell out regardless of whatever software is on it. Early adopter syndrome.
I think only Brits chuckled at Gary’s use of annus horribilis. It became a common meme around this time of year, before anyone really coined that term, ever since The Queen talked about her horrible anus (her family) in the 1992 Queen’s Speech.
I have to say, Norm is a much better host than Will. Been loving these Norm-hosted episodes.
I kid because I love, Will.
You guys were in rare form this week. Thanks for all the great entertainment and information you provide and here’s to a another great year.
Norm’s million dollar idea app is already on the iTunes Store, behold: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/delayed-mirror/id373310934?mt=8
Is episode 97 uploaded anywhere? I can’t seem to find it.
