I love podcasts, but finding new ones is tough! I mostly rely on friend's recommendations. To make discovery easier, I'm sharing my personal podroll, which includes a variety of shows I enjoy. This list is frequently updated using a script, so check back often for new additions. You can find my podroll on Player.fm, a platform created by my friend Mike Mahemoff.

I initially pre-ordered a Wii from Argos but cancelled it (big mistake!). It's been impossible to find one since launch, and everyone at work has been taunting me. Finally, I managed to snag one from Asda in Aintree, along with a copy of Wii Play. The Wiimote is surprisingly accurate, and while the graphics aren't as impressive as the 360's, the gameplay is fantastic. I can't wait to explore more games, so hit me up with recommendations!

The Nintendo DS is vastly outselling the Sony PSP in recent sales figures, by a ratio of nearly 7 to 1. This trend suggests a decline in the PSP's market performance.

Microsoft plans to upgrade the Xbox 360's CPU in early 2007. The new CPU is expected to generate less heat and consume less power. While some consumers are threatening returns, this upgrade is a standard practice in the console industry and will likely result in a cooler, quieter console rather than a faster one. Sony, for example, made similar upgrades to the PS2 after its initial release.

I'm testing my image code for related images functionality. In the meantime, check out XBox 360 reviews on Gamespot and IGN.

I just got Burnout Revenge for Xbox, and it's a huge step up from Burnout 3! The music, graphics, speed, and new levels are fantastic. The AI is good but a little predictable; I can foresee the first 30 seconds of one level perfectly. Minor variations aside, the other cars stick to very similar routes. Still, no game is perfect!
