TalkRadar 36 - TV casualty
Lost, sitcoms and the greatest games ever headline this week’s 'cast. PLUS: Mystery Guest!
In this week’s thrilling installment, TalkRadar brings on a special mystery guest to finally settle a question that’s been burning in the minds of our fans for months: What exactly the hell happened between Chris Antista and Tyler Wilde? Once that’s settled, it’s on to our usual dissection of this week’s Top 7, followed by a frank discussion of why we chose what we chose for ourGreatest games on every platformfeature and spirited discourse on a couple of articles written by GR’s sister siteEdge Online.
After that, this week’s TV theme emerges with drunken ramblings about Lost, old episodes of Roseanne and a bizarre artifact from the days when Norm MacDonald still had a steady job.
Explicit Content Within! Persons with delicate ears should definitely not listen, as they will hear edgy no-no words freely spoken on South Park and HBO.
