The Horrible Show 10-06-10: Does September 2010 Matter?

Time to get reacquainted with the full Horrible Show cast and what better way to ease into things than to go over the news of the past month. In our Threesomes of the Week, Cole gets a bit too close to the Pawn Stars cast and Ethan finally figures out what is wrong with Michigan. Our On the Spot question looks back at the recent Horrible Night Out and asks: Are there any good games at Dave and Buster’s? Sure, September was a busy month with PAX, TGS, and a Nintendo conference, but we could have sworn someone said Duke Nukem Forever was really going to be released. Our Name the Mascot contest moves into phase 2 this week, be sure to cast your vote to enter to win an Xbox Live subscription. We give a shout out to the newest member of The Cursed – streetalchemist. We end the show on a helpful note by analyzing/mocking a new dating option for gamers.
