For the moment the name of the podcast comes up as "Turn It Sideways - All Things Awesome"... that's a simple mistake that I don't feel like fixing it just now, so just ignore that.
If you're as big a geek as we are, you'll probably find something to like throughout the whole show. If you're only a part-time geek, the show notes below should point you to sections of the cast that you'll enjoy. Also, the show notes include links to all the stuff we're talking about, so if you're unfamiliar you can catch up.
0:00-9:00: Show intro, "Wanted" trailer, tangents aplenty: Wachowski bros hating, Speed Racer movie, Mark Millar and "The Ultimates," Rob Liefeld hating
9:00-16:15: "Iron Man" movie discussion: casting, CGI or no?, guys in suits!
16:15-20:40: "Sales Genie" commercials, period racism, Gamecock!, more racism!
20:40-38:30: Guitar Hero IV songs, Aerosmith involvement in GHIV, what makes a good rhythm game song?, Tim makes up music facts, the "pussification of the Chili Peppers," what makes a good Rock Band/Guitar Hero song?, Guitar Hero III kind of sucked
38:30-43:45: "Star Wars: Force Unleashed," good Star Wars games in the past
43:35-55:00: "Super Smash Bros. Brawl," flirting with hardcore SSBM, SSBB Final Smashes, Inside Jokes #1 & 2!!!, Soul Calibur IV: Vader & Yoda, SCIV online capabilities, random multiplayer stuff
55:00-59:15: HD-DVD vs. Blu-Ray... and who cares?, brief Pixar talk, Tim hates laughter
59:15-1:00:40 : World of Warcraft 2.4 Patch notes discussion, BADGER WARDS!, Mike loves his cat more than his son
1:00:40-1:32:00: D&D 4th Edition discussion: too soon?, WotC's money-making schemes, the MMO-ification of D&D, high-level D&D sucks, we're
Notes and Corrections:
- You can check out Mike's movie musings at bandofoutsiders.org under the name Another Mike
- I checked after the fact and it turns out that the $32 price I quoted for the adventure supplement for 4th edition was actually in Canadian currency, and I'm just an idiot. The Core Books are, in fact, $35 US.
- "endemic" *was* the right word. I'm a good English Major after all.
- At the end of the show I said "next week" but I'm really not sure when we'll record the next episode. Probably in like two weeks to a month.
Thanks for listening,
Schmitty

Maybe I'm just a moron, but I couldn't get to the podcast. It was telling me that I was a bad person for trying to access it outside of their site, so I couldn't listen in-browser...and I couldn't download it either...maybe girls aren't allowed to have podcasts? It's probably bad for our health, or something. :shrugs:
The website doesn't allow deeplinking to the download; perhaps a link to Schmitty's profile would be better? That's how I got there.
(This is Max; I have no clue why it says John.)
Another correction I noted somewhere else, but I should probably note here: Money is in 7/4, not 7/8. The guitar solo is indeed in 4/4. The way to count 7/4 in Money, I believe, is one-two-three-one-two-three-four.
Life Wasted is the Pearl Jam song from the 360 version of GH2.
