We’ve been playing Portal 2 quite a bit, so we talk non-spoilery about that, then get very spoilery about the new Doctor Who season and finish off with mostly non-spoilery talk of Game of Thrones on HBO.

  • @WizChic I loved it! Felt like a whole season in one episode.
  • @oldman916 Lots of headlines mis-stating that the release date is Oct. 25. It's the media that's confused.
  • Frame Rate begins soon, right now we're talking about squirrels and pigeons in the TWiT chat room http://t.co/KgxxBdQb
