In this weeks episode of LoL we have a very special guest joining us….Turpster! As fair warning this episode, while not explicit, it might be a little more edging than some of you are use too. In addition, for those that know Turpster, sometimes you just can’t contain his awesomeness in just an hour. So this episode is double the fun clocking in at almost 2 hours! We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording! We discuss Heavy Rain, Bioshock 2, Starcraft II, Borderlands expansion & Dante’s Inferno.

Thank you Buxley for the fun StarCraft 2 intro to the show! For even more funny Buxley clips go to Ask Buxley or listen to The Instance for his segment!

In multiple regions, players are reporting the inability to sign into the Playstation network or getting error codes. Once reports of the problems started to appear, Sony tweeted: “We’re aware that many of you are having problems connecting to PSN, and yes, we’re looking into it. Stay tuned for updates.” That’s all we’ve heard from them so far. There’s no solution just yet; even disconnecting your console from the Internet doesn’t help. We’ll post an update immediately when we hear about a resolution.

What will you do while the network is down?
