The final podsuming update for the year of 2008.

Tomorrow I start some serious pruning.  I don’t want to, but I need to cut back on my addiction so I can start having my own thoughts again,  instead of just passively listening to everyone else’s thoughts.

As I get closer to actually catching up to the now, it looks like GGL has podfaded. So when I finally get caught up… I’ll be done. Which is a shame.

This is probably a useful podcast. Unfortunately, I just don’t really care. Nothing wrong with this ‘cast. It just isn’t suited to my tastes. Which is why I’m going to keep listening for a few more episodes.

Wait, that doesn’t make any sense.

• IGN Game Scoop! 86
• IGN Podcast Beyond 51
• IGN Three Red Lights 36

IGN has some decent podcasts. Surprising, really, considering just how totally buried they are on the site. I don’t know how I found the feed in the first place, but it took me twenty minutes looking to give up on trying to find a separate feed for each title and just go with the main feed. I’d almost guess that PC Mag and IGN run off of the same CMS. Grade: mlah.
