It's the first podcast of 2022! Are you excited? Well, what if I told you that everything we talk about is either:
1.) not available yet, and they didn't share pricing info
2.) will be sold out the instant it goes on sale
NOW are you excited???

No, I didn't spell it "thicc". I respect the English language too much. Regardless, the MSI MEG Z690 Tomahawk motherboard has an impressively robust PCB. It feels rigid without the benefit of a backplate, and everywhere I look on the board instills confidence. Visual confidence. The kind that is ...

How rare is it that we get together to record a podcast Christmas week? More rare - and more precious - than gold. No! More like a pearl. A natural, lustrous pearl that emerged from a contented oyster after many years of docile oceanic living.

After waiting for a year, the Monkey Island Anthology box set from Limited Run has arrived, and I recorded the unboxing process. Enjoy low-energy commentary, erroneous statements that have to be corrected with on-screen text, and generic YouTube library Christmas jazz background music that scream...

I am pleased to report that in October of 2020 my wife decided to buy me the Limited Run Games Monkey Island 30th Anniversary Anthology. She thought it would arrive after Christmas 2020, and considering UPS left it on our front step yesterday, she was right.
Now they sell for $400 - $500 on...

How does a nearly two hour stream (technically 1 hr, 51 min) only produce a 50 min podcast? YOU BE THE JUDGE. Also, Josh had mic trouble.
It turns out that every time Josh uses the software mute function with his browser VMix session, he loses the mic entirely and has to disconnect an...

Here's the full version of this week's show (if it ever finishes processing), presented with its original running time with NO commercial interruptions! Relive the magic of that incredible stream, or watch it for the first time! It's unlisted, unrated, and sometimes unintelligible. But a valiant ...

The audio was bad AGAIN this week. Josh is fighting Windows settings with Firefox and ended up with too much gain, and Jeremy decided to surprise us with a new headset mic and his levels were _very_ dependent on how close the boom was to his face.
Excuses aside, I leveled the audio as best ...

Well, I don't have a GODLIKE but we were graced with the TOMAHAWK board in MSI's Z690 family. From picking up the box I can tell you that it's heavy for an ATX board - but ADL needs massive heatsinks for all that VRM so I'd call it a "reassuring heft".
The Cooler is another 360 mm AiO, the ...

I was just going to share the original YouTube livestream link, but the audio levels were so bad that I'm fixing it and re-uploading the whole thing. Once YT finishes processing it I'll post it here. I didn't realize just how bad things were during the stream. Next week we'll have a proper line t...

Don't worry, the out-of-this-world burger segment is back.
Could you even buy an AMD RX 6600 if you wanted? The sad state of availability continues, but the card is still ok. Windows 11 continues to install issues, DRAM pricing changes are coming and Samsung is gearing up for th...

Welcome back to the PCPer show, seemed to go fairly well actually!

The sub-title sounds a bit like relationship problems. And uncut, as always.
It's true, there are a few newsworthy GPU rumors on the 30 series and Intel ARC GPUs. Plus the Radeon RX 6600 is expected to be un-buyable, of course. There's an Epic share of EPYC happening, and ...

Good Friday to you all!
Good show this week, happy to be able to share the uncut version with you all. I think the hidden gem was the light to dark lighting effects.
Anyway, we discuss the new AMD X570 board from EVGA, the 3070 chip inside new certain 3060's, NVIDA DLAA, Sir Cli...

Welcome back to all! Thanks for hanging in there while there was some trouble with trees. In case it was not widely known, there was a storm that knocked out power and internet for a week - but now we are back on the air! No actual humans were harmed during this weeks episode.

An uncut evening of discussion includes various malwarez, Windows 11 (a coincidence?), Western Digital pulling a "Crucial" NAND switch, and EVGA figures out what went wrong with their 3090's. No one is actually injured during the show, in case you were wondering.
Also we review ...
