Carlos is just getting over being sick, so luck for you, his voice is all low and raspy and cool sounding. After waxing poetic about how great Monaco is, and pointing out that the makers of Adventure Time have an even better show on YouTube, the gang talks about buying merchandise from your favorite shows, and wearing the clothes that TV characters wear.

Carlos tries to weasel out of his bet with Jason that he would watch two episodes of Downton Abbey and not become hooked—without even watching the whole first episode! After that, and a little grousing about how all these excellent serial dramas take too long to watch and there isn't enough hours in the day, we finally discuss the mind-bending end to Bioshock Infinite. If you haven't finished the game yet, you'll want to skip about half of this week's episode.
This week, we have a video snippet of the show. So you can see us talking into our microphones!

Jason is finally back on the show this week, trying to explain to Carlos why Downton Abbey is a great show. He's not convinced, so there's a bet. Lunch is at stake. Also discussed, the mystery over Veronica Mars, which none of us have watched, but our friends are very excited about.
Links from this week's episode:
The second part of Starcraft II is out, and Alex is watching a lot of people play on Twitch.tv.
Everyone got really excited about the Veronica Mars movie kickstarter, but none of us have seen the show and don't know why we should care. Unfortunately, there isn't a great place to stream them all online, without shelling out big dollars.
A new patch gets closer to fixing SimCity! Only half a dozen patches to go!
Larry King didn't really retire, he just went streaming. Check out Larry King Now on Hulu if you still love that gravelly old man.
Want to find some great online stuff to watch? The Streamy Awards were announced last month, and they're full of great online content.
Carlos and Alex wouldn't listen to Jason when he said Downton Abbey is great. In fact, Carlos bet him lunch he could watch two episodes and still not give a care. It's on.
Draw a Stickman Epic is availalbe for a whole host of platforms, and great fun. iOS, Android, Kindle Fire, Mac, Windows Phone, or Windows 8.

Carlos teams up with the two Alexes (Alexi?) to talk about some of the latest games, to talk about some recent games and TV shows, and also Dark Souls. If you're looking for a new show to stream or a game to play, you won't want to miss the latest episode of Play This.
Links from this week's episode:
Carlos has just discovered Justified, one of the great TV shows that not a lot of people don't know about.
SimCity is really great, when it works. Which isn't all that often. EA needs more patching, more servers, more fixes. But it's online nature is a big departure.
Speaking of reboots, there's Tomb Raider, which is pretty good, actually. It's about the beginning of Lara Croft, and a more serious and gritty game.

In our first podcast back after our holiday and CES break, the audio gremlins attacked the studio this week, and some weird sound bugs caused us to have to chop around 20 minutes out of the show. What's left is still a scintilating coversation with Lauren Crabbe and Alex Cocilova about the new Myspace and many other things.
