Puzo family sues Paramount for money over the crap (Despite what BLAKE says, the game is butt) Godfather game. They also discuss whether Spore will suck or not.

Got any genius BATTLE ideas? Judgments you want us to do? Janks? Feedback? New segment ideas? You know where it goes.

THE SHOW WILL BE THIS SUNDAY, OCTOBER 30th AT 8PM EASTERN (5pm Pacific, 1am UK)

It's September 2005. The United States is suffering from a terrible post-industrial depression and the west is still a wild and untamed frontier. Subversive communists are at every corner, and in the streets women burn their brassieres in an act of defiance. The world is in chaos.

Yet through this darkness, there is light. A single beam of hope of things to come. Beneath the star of DDD, a podcast was born. It would become the BEST DAMN PODCAST EVER.

MacDudes was our very first attmept at podcasting. Originally intended as a spinoff of Adam Christianson's MacCast with a humorous twist, the MacDudes quicly turned into the IMG Podcast, and later BDPE. It may be crude, but it still has the heart of BDPE.

Got feedback? Leave it here.

Note: Episode 18 hilarity coming very soon!

Tom Barbalet explores the cavernous space inside Blake Buck's head in this reflective interview. Blake Buck talks of his past, how he met the other hosts, the trenches of IMG, and secret behind the scenes heat! Check out the .m4a version for tons of behind the scenes photos!
