Skype (or Windows) does more weird things with Montana's mic levels.  They take a moment to fix things then they're back.
• Note: Montana liked the film a lot.  The section where Montana mentions this was cut, likely due to the pervasive microphone issues.

Episode 005: Short But Not Shorter Than the World Average

Ep 5.
We were trying to record a shorter show this week, since neither of us had a lot of time, but "short" translated to "shorter than the last couple episodes but still not short".

That's ok, I guess.

The background music this week is noisy stuff, since my dying soundcard on my skype PC was crackling a LOT.  Next week I'll move to the better one.

Topics of discussion:

• We mention our intent to make a short episode.
• McDeviltoast hates pet gender confusion and dog parks.  Montana hates dogs.
• Montana an McDeviltoast, who are not avid video gamers, talk about video games.  McDeviltoast has a decidedly "get off my lawn" outlook. McDeviltoast is mad that video games kept his friends from hanging out with him in China.  (mentioned: Yar's Revenge, Bully, WoW, Final Fantasy, Civilization)
• McDeviltoast mentions a groan moment in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.  (mentioned: Blixa Bargeld in The Mummy)
