All three of our hosts this week got hooked on the video from The Guild – “Do you want to Date my Avatar” after a great – quick hit post from our good friend epredator over at Feeding Edge… Thanks Ian for making the week a lot more fun. We continue to look for your feedback on making your show better… remember we are podcasting your tags.
