PC gaming guru Bob (Fragamemnon) joins us again for this episode as we hold a rally for wacky protestors, present the Beer Yin to balance the Wine Yang of last episode, give away a copy of Killzone 2, and let a giant robot pee oil all over Doug.

Segment One: So, This Donkey And This Elephant Walk Into A Tea Bar...

No matter what side of the political spectrum you're on, there's always plenty to laugh at when it comes to stupid protestors. We take a look at why modern protests never work, how the babbling of the lunatic fringe drowns out the voices of reason, and offer up some of our listener's (as well as our own) wild-eyed encounters with the void.

Segment Two: Overtime At Shotz Brewery

(35:22) We present some suggestions for "anytime" beer and beer/food pairings, talk about first experiences with the beverage, list the worst brews we've ever washed down our gullets, and spin a few tales of wretched excess.

Segment Three: Win Killzone 2, The Borecast Playlist...also, Robot Urine

(1:16:38) WIN KILLZONE 2 - We're giving away a copy of PS3 favorite KZ2, listen for the simple entry rules.

BORECAST PLAYLIST - This episode we talk about recent (and not-so-recent) games we've been playing, offering up our recommendations and warnings - future installments will include Books, Movies, Music, Tech Gadgets, etc.

Games discussed this segment: The Dark Spire (Nintendo DS), Sacred 2 (PC), Fallout 3: The Pitt (PC), Left 4 Dead Survival Mode (PC), Battlefield Heroes (PC), Battleforge (PC), Elven Legacy (PC)

INDEFENSIBLE - Bob drops a load of Michael Bay and a squirt of LaBeouf on top of unsuspecting Doug in this installment.

The winner of the Killzone 2 contest will be announced on the next episode (May 11th). See you then!

Corona

Man, I forgot to mention Schaefer during the beer segment. That's some genuinely wretched brew.

Will listen later. Did you give Steel Reserve a shoutout?

Prole did. I actually forgot to mention a lot of pee-beer I've had over the years. It's funny how your memory blanks at times like that.

I haven't listened yet. But I've got to pimp my favorite beer--Hitachino's White Ale. It's a Japanese beer and fairly hard to find, even in NYC, where I live. I wonder if Frag has tried it.

Nice contest. Hopefully, I'll be the lucky one.

Also, thanks to Frag for coming back. He made a great third wheel.

I almost blew my top when Doug said, "Can I touch your pussy?"

No review from me this time, I've been busy at school doing schoolwork and sorting out drama with all my friends.

I figured since you haven't been around the board much you must have a lot going on, so I didn't bother you. No sweat, man, it's not a job or anything, it's all just for fun. Do one whenever you feel like it, don't ever feel like you have to do it out of obligation.

Since there are exactly zero entries on the show notes at www.borecast.com right now, I'd say if you leave one your chances would be right around 100%

I just did.

Dear Sfag EBers, please don't jump in. I promise to give a somewhat glowing review of KZ2 if I win.

Serious thoughly, are multiple entries allowed? I put in something quick in case I don't remember to join the contest.

Just make sure you give it a shot on Veteran difficulty. It might make you swear more over the controls, but you will get more out of the enemy encounters.

I like how you keep calling beer, lager Lager is so default amongst beers, that I always forget it's a perticular kind.

Pet peeve about Britain and beers: they drink lager with no foam. Fail. For ales it makes sense, but not for lagers.

Corona is no girls beer, its a summer beer.

it's called head

Man, Doug is waaaay too good at the 'indefensible' portion of the show!

Reb · « **Reply #33 on:** April 28, 2009, 12:36:59 PM »

I'd like Doug to really go for it in the next Indefensible. Now it's a lot of "geez guys", "uuhhhm", "oh boy".
I think it would be more interesting if he would act like he really liked it and goes all out, making the listener doubt if he's lost his mind or if the challenge backfired and somebody picked something he actually likes. Lie more!

I'm kinda on the fence if I'll keep listening, I mostly listened to this one out of some kind of loyalty. Maybe the 2 hours is too much for me.

let's hear him defend child pornography, militant zionism, the cleansing of spain, pinkerton involvement in strike breaking, and stuff along those lines.

I greatly appreciate the timestamps. I'm not so big on beer so I go to the next segment. Awesome stuff. Keep it going!

New podcasts go up every other Monday, unless something comes up (in which case I will make a post about it on our site). So, Monday the 11th, probably around noon Eastern Time.

No question this week, sorry. Everyone's schedules are a little hectic right now, so we're going for a streamlined show. No Se7en Challenge, either. Both will return for the May 25th show.
