Ahoy! In tonight’s episode, the twelve year old in Joe’s brain causes spontaneous giggles (a-la Family Guy)… more than once. After getting it under control the boys talk about the shortfalls of Windows 8 and Windows RT, the Shortfalls of E.A. and their ability to launch a new title, eye-trackers in cell phones, why you might not need to spend hundreds of dollars on audio cables, and a tragic Lego accident.
