Joystiq Podcast 138 - The Real Monsters edition

This week's podcast had its share of ups and downs ... like, there was the time the file got messed up and we had to re-record half the show this morning, or the time we accidentally murdered Justin with a chloroform overdose. Actually, that sounds like a lot of downs. On the "ups" side of things, we talk about Rocket Knight, Steam on Mac OS X, and we answer your wacky emails, so there's still some good left in the world.

And big ups to Evan Hodgins for his stark vision of an exoskeleton-enhanced Joystiq Podcast.
