While most of the world is winding down after the holidays, TBDPE.com is heating up with some serious new power. Over the next few weeks we'll be kicking BDPE into high gear, with more regular show releases, new guests, new articles, new videos, and maybe even a few contests. A veritable cornucopia of comedy gaming content.

What's that you say - how will we do it? Simple! Through the noble, yet monetarily unsubsidized efforts of our listeners! At the moment, we really need people to help voulenteer in the following areas:

Article Writers

Got a knack for writing? Enjoy the kind of written content featured on our site? Then you're already halfway to becoming an official writer for BDPE!

Send us a sample of your work, or even better, write us an article for the site from scratch (be it a review, editorial, or just something gaming related you think is funny), and we just might post it!

To apply for a writer position on BDPE, just send an email to Senior News Editor Bruce Morrison at bruce@freeverse.com

Promoters

Is your Facebook profile exploding with people you only marginally know? Does your MySpace Top 8 change five times a week? Do you regularly pwn n00bs on SA, 4chan, or Gaia? Does anybody know the the hell a blogosphere is? If so, you could be an excellent promoter for BDPE!

We're looking for people to get the word out on BDPE and how awesome it is. Post us on your blog, link to us on your Facebook or Myspace, or talk about us on your favorite forum. For the extra industrious, you can even help us manage the BDPE Myspace page.

To apply for a promoter position on BDPE, just send an email to Senior Internet Man Blake Buck at buck@bestdamnpodcastever.com

Audio Editor

Ever wonder why the shows take so long to come out after they're recorded? Blake Buck is a video editor. That's what he does. Make him edit audio, and he'll just likely wander off and eat Dairy Queen Ice Cream Cake

We're looking for someone with audio editing skills who can mix, edit, and compress our shows. Experience in the podcasting world is a plus, but not required (regardless, this person will be working close with Blake on the finer points). Just send us a resume and/or some samples of your work.

To apply for the audio editor position, just send an email to Senior Hearing Expert Blake Buck at buck@bestdamnpodcastever.com

While there's no pay for any position this time, I'm sure we could get BattleCat in the forums to assign you a custom rank. Maybe even some cool merchandise down the road as well.

So show us your power!

Blake Buck and William Miller play Gears of War until it hurts. Hilarity ensues . . . baby.

BDPE has been invaded by the Something Awful forums! In between calling our videos crap and telling us to kill ourselves, there have been some really great photoshops of Blake Buck's face!

So we've decided to hold a Blake Buck Face.jpg photoshop contest. The winner will be featured on next week's show!

Keep those submissions coming!

On this week's show we delve into the world of role-playing games - the different types, the different franchises, and those oh so effeminent male leads you can't help but feel a little attracted to. Also this week, a Second Life realtor makes one million dollars in real life (BDPE still broke), another big budget sony title falls through the cracks, and the Scarface game > originality.

Currently the BDPE is in rehab recovering from a whirl wind NYC tour. Blake Buck could not be reached for comment as he is currently stuck in a C-17 Globe Master 3.

William Miller is passed out on my futon suffering from mass chili consumption.

And Justin Fic is actually doing just fine in the Monkey House, enjoying fine cigars and nice cognac--and shredding some Guitar Hero 2!

Expect some good pictures of the whirlwind tour soon.

RARRRRRRRR PLAYSTATION THREEEEEEEE!

If that has not enticed you to run out this very second and buy a PS3 from eBay then nothing will.

Ebay-ite jeddywg has laid it all on the line (well some of it is laying on the BlueRay drive) in his "The Best Playstation 3 Auction EVAR!.

However, if you don't buy his $2,000+ PS3 jeddwyg has issued the following ultimatum:

Please bid. If I have to list this again I'm moving the PS3 box in the photo.

In case you're wondering, none of my parts touched any of its parts.

So depending on how you swing you either need to get bidding, or just hope nobody is that desperate this Christmas.

Avast. Tonight I logged on to Xbox Live to see what's up, and low and behold, found something quite interesting on my friends list.

Now I know what's going on, but I think I'll just let everyone ponder over this, maybe do some googling and what not. The name was blurred to protect the innocent.
