It’s the weekend which it’s time for Paul and I to get together for another episode and this weekend was pretty special for both of us as word came out that the perennial vaporware Duke Nukem Forever is actually going to get finished, thanks to the guys at Gearbox Software.

Just as we start the show with a bit of nostalgia we end of the show the same way thanks to BillG but along the way we cover  some of the other Microsoft news from the past week.
