It's our 100th episode! Which is not that much different than the other 99! Except, of course, that we have a special guest along for the ride -- EGM alum Crispin Boyer. On this week's show we talk blogs picking up fake stories from message boards, Mega Man 9, Peter Moore dissing Rare, Tron, Rock Band 2, Force Unleashed and more. Plus, we play guess the game based on the review text of some of Crispin's past reviews.

Who would've thought two years ago that when we started this podcast thing that we'd still be going 100 episodes later. Yet here we are, and thanks to listener probune and some of the fine people on our forum (thanks to Mudron for the sweet art!) we have a clip show for you this week featuring some of the finest moments of those past episodes. Whether you're new to the podcast or a longtime listener, you might get some larfs out of this 90-or-so-minute stroll down memory lane.

And yes, a regular episode is still coming today in addition to this. Stay tuned.

This week! CJ and Phil tackle Rock Band 2, Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise, Speed Racer DS, Cho Aniki, Y's Book I&II and Final Soldier. Plus -- a segment that we recorded at PAX, the EGM review game, where we guess the score we gave a game in the past based on portions of our review text. If you're playing along at home, the issues being used are September 2003 (#170) and June 2000 (#131).
