Tonight, anything goes, and the fans steer control of the show. Tell us what you want us to discuss, tell us what segments you want to hear. The only way you can do that? Join us live in our chat tonight at 9:00 PM EST!

Episode 87 – Myths, Legends, and Crashes
We are proud to bring you glorious Episode 87 – A show that was plagued with technical difficulties (well for our live audience, anyway) but thanks to the glorious magic of editing, the static issues were removed and our podcast downloaders will never even notice a difference… except for Willie and Mike’s conversation when Al secretly had the problem fixed.
On this episode we discuss popular myths, legends, and American folklore throughout the ages. Willie becomes frustrated and confused with exactly what a “Urban Legend” is, so Al and Mike educate him on some popular tales.
Ask The Black Dude returns, as this time we have three emails from listeners that have questions for Willie. We also had an email from a listener with a question for Dear ESCape. Were the guys able to help the listener in need?
All this and more plus a AOTW Dentist, and Phantasy Star (Master System) in our Retro Review!

Chat Room Issues Resolved
After a couple hours of banging heads on keyboards and denting desks, we can now finally announce that the chat room issues have been resolved. Thanks to all who helped out with the issue and if you are still experiencing any problems, please post or notify an admin in our forums on the GNET Radio site. (www.mygnetradio.com).
0Episode 86 – Kanye Gets Ass Stamped Again
On this episode, join Al, Willie, and sub co-host Galleena as they discuss online Social Networks. Al will give his experience with Linked In while Willie tries MySpace (welcome to 2005 Willie!) We also discuss Facebook “friends” – are they ALL really your true friends? Willie puts this theory to a test.
This weeks Retro Review will continue Sega Month as they review the Sega Saturn game Panzer Dragoon. An extended “Stuff That Makes Us Sick” segment is also tonight, and Kanye West along with Serena Williams have topped the list. Will we actually have our first disagreement?
We also hear from an update from the hospitalized DJ Harmack, and just where is Mike? We get an “anonymous tip” during the show on his whereabouts, a tip that left us stunned.

The ESCape Teams Up with UnnamedGaming.com for Complete Retro Review Coverage
The ESCape Show is proud to announce a brand new partnership with UnnamedGaming.com for our weekly Retro Review segments. UnnamedGaming.com is sponsoring this particular segment of the show, and each week they will post a corresponding full review of our chosen Retro Review classics.
We are excited to go this route, because due to time restraints we are only limited to 10-15 minutes on each Retro Review segment per show and we feel that sometimes we are not able to cover all the finer points of each title. Triverse will be our dedicated journalist covering these reviews, as he has done this for now our past 3 shows. He has recently fully covered and reviewed Mr Nutz, Cool Spot, and Sonic and Knuckles.
Each week we will post our Retro Recap with the corresponding link to UnnamedGaming.com‘s full review of the title. We are very excited about this partnership with UnnamedGaming, so please check out their website and their contributions to the gaming community!

Join us in our review of the battle of Critters vs Man!
Al’s Serious Statistics returns this week. What interesting stats did Professor Al come up with? Will they be useful to the listeners or will it just become “useless knowledge”.
Willie also returns this week with a brand new Top 10 list. Will he give you the top reasons that women use internet dating sites? How about men? Ok…we know about Willie and his “mens”…who knows what he will come up with.
All this and a whole lot more….Are they really going to give a prize away during “Know the show?” Will Steve make it four weeks in a row (what is this world coming to)? What will Willie bring for his youtube video of the week? Will Mike go off on a rant? Can they go one show without making fun of Al…ok lets not go that far…
