This week I review Final Fantasy 13 (finally).  All that, and one other thing. 

Announcement

I need a new microphone.  The Blue Snowball mic I'm using is causing me nothing but headaches.  It seems to be clipping or popping or something.  I have two pop filters on the darn thing and a spider mount and it still picks up clicks every five to ten seconds.  It's the reason this episode took so long to come out.  And there's no firmware or drivers I can use to fix the low gain in Windows 7.  So far I've had the Audio Technica AT2020 USB and Blue Yeti recommended to me.  What do you guys use?   

News

The Smurfs movie pictures leaked.  Take a look at the pictures here and be afraid.  Be very afraid.

Review

Final Fantasy XIII I'm sure that if you were at all interested in this game you would have picked it up by now, but I've reviewed it anyway.  Because I'm nothing if not timely and relevant.  Speaking of which, have you heard about this new show Lost.  I hear it's about a magical island with polar bears and Tim Daly. 

Anyway, here's the trailer for the game:

And here's the Chocobo music:

Promotional Consideration given to:

RPGLamer - I look forward to Jake's thoughts on this game.  Given that he's the resident RPG expert, I'm sure he'll have a lot to say about it.  That is, if his mouth isn't full of Double Downs.  Also, let this be a warning to you.  If you have a podcast and you let it lapse, I will steal it from you.  I did it to Eeeper (see here), and I'll do it to you.  I've got my eye on you, Animentors.  I'll abridge the hell out of your podcast. 

Fightbait - It's like the PI:  3.14159265... or as we've learned from the Bible, 3.
