Show notes

Today on the 5: There is a group working on a multiplayer mod for the game Just Cause 2. They've been doing periodic open beta tests with large groups of people, and last weekend I managed to get on and experience the mod.

Kindle Ads Sep 12, 2012

Show notes

Today on the 5: Amazon recently had their big event to unveil the new Kindle line. After the announcement, there was an indication that the new Kindle Fires would have ads built-in, similar to what was started in the last generation but missing an "opt out" ability. This got a lot of people all riled up, but hasn't this always been Amazon's plan with these devices?

Wasting Away Sep 05, 2012

Show notes

Today on the 5: I was recommended a movie recently that takes a new approach to the overly done zombie genre. Wasting Away, or Aaah! Zombies in the US, is a low budget movie that overcomes it's shortcomings with an original take on a tired idea.

Asylum Of The Daleks Sep 04, 2012

Show notes

Today on the 5: The new series of Doctor Who premiered over the weekend. I haven't watched the show since Matt smith's debut episode, but I figured I should give it another try and see if it would grab me again.
