Episode 42 - Baby Dicks

This week, we talk about our new mic setup, buffalo wings, IGN's Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Black Beta, Brain Soup, lazy editing, our upcoming Peanut Gallery special, Enslaved: Odyssey To The West, the Mythbusters, an update on our Bane impressions, SSJ Industries' boss Pendleton Pig, and Truth Or Lies, which we award our first official SSJ Seal of Disapproval.
In SSST, we break down the WiiU's release details, talk about Inafune's new ninja-mech-zombie game, check out what people voted for on Steam Greenlight, get worried about what this R18+ rating really means, titillate each other with the ESRB's rating for Dead or Alive 5, and plug the heck out of Sifl & Olly's new show.
We launch right into Ask SSJ, which leads to discussions of toughness, adulthood, milk-based conspiracies, classic literature for teenagers, lettuce, childhood delusions, the value of honesty, annoying phrases, clean breakups, body image, fetishes, and auteur directors.
