Does May 2011 Matter? – The Horrible Show 060111

The big industry news maker may be right around the corner, but May 2011 might go down in history. Justin, Cole, Ethan, and Justin overanalyze the PSN outage, Elite Modern Warfare 3 news, and reveal just who the target audience is for E3. Mmm toadstools. Send in your questions to [email protected] or @TheHorribleShow

Once a month we bring recap the previous months headlines and energetically fill them with tangents in our quest to determine if the news matters in the long run. So come get your May dosage. Complete with Threesomes of the Week that relive our Meatloaf memories and confirm Bruce Willis’s status as our favorite action star. The On the Spot question breaks into E3 and Ethan tries to ruin our favorite time of the year with twisted toadstool photos. The headlines can’t go anywhere without checking in on the PlayStation Network and Call of Duty. We have some fun on Raptr.com and stress out over even more deals on Steam. Then, we try and devise a plan for our E3 coverage next week, but we can say you’ll get some, and it will be horrible. Finally, we bond over Hunted’s launch trailer and welcome you in on our group hug.
