Okay, not really. But we are your hosts for this 22nd episode of the DarkCast and I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. We may be light on people this week, but not things to talks about. Join us and get to know your two southern hosts as we tackle current issues like southern stereotypes, the misdirection of Rayman 3, EA’s (hopefully) fake initiative to get you to pay them more money, Adam’s new Xbox and… Splinter Cell: Conviction? Yes, like I said, current issues. Anyway, if you ever wanted to see how much time has been wasted on the Halo series, check this out.

It’s no surprise that most of us on the site have been playing Mass Effect 3. Heck, some of us (Jonathan) has neglected sleep in order to marathon through the game. So with that said, Mass Effect is a major topic for this week’s show, although there is plenty still to discuss including: NPD’s, iPad 3 announcement, George Washington, midnight launches, Alabama, among other things.
