Dogear Nation » Podcast

Michael, Andy, and Michael come together this week to a plethora of user tags, and somehow we get very morbid with our discussion. Is Second Life dead (again), can heroes come back to life if they are played by Cats, and why do we keep hearing tweets from the dead? All these questions will be answered… So sit back, grab a beersicle from the freezer and enjoy the show.
