StarWTF!? Discusses The Force Awakens Trailer In Depth

The Force Awakens trailer is here! We've watched it a few dozen times and are ready to discuss it in a special edition of StarWTF!? This one is a little more speculation than education as we know as much as you do. We just may have watched it a few more times.

Note: We discuss a few character /casting rumors that are going around so there may be a few small spoilers in here.

StarWTF1? Episode 6: Blue Milk

We get to the bottom of the most famous drink in all of the Star Wars universe... blue milk! We figure out where it comes from and desperately try to figure out why.  



We also talk about how much of this Luke actually drinks and whether or not it has medicinal effects. It's all crazy, as you would expect.

Device-mas: The Nexus 9


This week, at least in the States, ushers in the Christmas shopping season. While most readers here are going to be looking for the newest toys or figurines or such, I'm truly more of a gadget guy, and it turns out that I was in the market for two of the more high-profile device releases of the last few months before the Black Friday Era began. So for the next couple days, I wanted to talk about what I thought about the two new devices that might be on your lists or the lists of others.

The other device I went all-in on is the Nexus 9, Google's newest flagship tablet device. It has been marred by some shipping delays, alleged issues of quality and performance, and not justifying its current price tag.

So what's the story?

The Book Was Better Episode 105: Alvin and the Chipmunks 3: Chipwrecked (with guest host Lizzy Unpronounceable)!

This week we skip straight to the third, and no doubt very best Alvin and the Chipmunks movie, when we read the riveting novelization of Chipwrecked! Which is a clever play on words! And joining me is our own adorable chipmunk Lizzy Unpronounceable! This is going to be great, right? Right!? Chipmunks!

Device-mas: Kindle Voyage


This week, at least in the States, ushers in the Christmas shopping season. While most readers here are going to be looking for the newest toys or figurines or such, I'm truly more of a gadget guy, and it turns out that I was in the market for two of the more high-profile device releases of the last few months before the Black Friday Era began. So for the next couple days, I wanted to talk about what I thought about the two new devices that might be on your lists or the lists of others.

The first device I jumped on a little early was the Kindle Voyage. The new flagship ereader from Amazon, it's a deluxe package with a lot of features, but does it justify its $200 price tag in the United States?

FPcast! The Fruitless Pursuit Podcast for November 24 2014! Be Thankful!
