With Alex unable to record because he's busy sipping mai tais on the deck of an extravagant beachside property (one-third true), we thought we'd use this week to give you a rare exploration of the NMW blooper reel -- a collection of promos we hoped would reel in potential sponsors. Enjoy yourselves, and we'll see you next time for Homeland Week.

Our glistening twenty-fourth episode is a cornucopia of discussion, including Fuhhh yeah, FFXI; how Dark Knight Rises may improve Alex's life; another visit from our robot pal; one of many nutty, badly-told stories from Ray's old school; our first official round of Overnerds, and we reveal our plans for Homeland Week!

In our spectacular twentieth episode, we discuss the most topical of topics, including impressions of Ray's new iron; Alex's kickin' new drop; new McDonald's stories from Alex *and* Ray; Windows 7; and last but not least, the final entry in our "Top of the Rock" Book Club.

This podcast soon to become a minor motion picture.

Our sigh-filled seventeenth episode turns out to be the real mega episode we thought we'd have last time. Ray reports back from E3 with tales of love, loss, and embarrassment for our fellow man; Alex reports back with, uh, Final Fantasy stuff; and in Book Club we discuss 'Friends' and the little blond boy who liked it a little too much.

A rookie mistake led to a terrible recording of what would have been NMW #011, but that's OK, since it probably wasn't that great anyway. Nevertheless, we didn't want to leave you in the dark, so we spend a few dozen minutes talking about what we talked about, which was mostly Final Fantasy XII again. After that, please enjoy a brief skit on the harsh realities of today's job market. See you in Ma...

In our sneezy eighth episode, we discuss where Alex is REALLY moving to; an FF9 progress update; why Alex doesn't want Ray near his family; energy drink safety; a new dramatic reading of snack food copy; school picture day, and a listener wants to know who our favorite comedians are.
