Leo rarely covered gaming topics on TWiT, but this is the second podcast in the last week in which Modern Warfare 2 has received some discussion. The issues surrounding the PC version are covered, as the the 1st day sales figures, and it shows how mainstream Infinity Ward’s latest game is.

TWiT 218: Escape from Farmville
October 26th, 2009
Twitter continues to branch out with word that the teens are starting to control trending topics. Windows 7 is still the big news with everyone sharing their thoughts on the new operating system. It is almost impossible to find someone who is generally negative on Windows 7, and that’s about the biggest win any release [...]
TWiT 214: Live From Caracas
September 28th, 2009
It’s back to the classic group of TWiTs this week with Patrick Norton and Kevin Rose. Google’s Sidewiki project is not getting a positive response from Leo.

TWiT 209: Dvorak Shrugged
August 24th, 2009
It has been a somewhat light week in technology news, but that doesn’t stop Leo and crew from having some great discussions. Om Malik, of GigaOM fame, is on this week and it’s hard not to feel inadequate when listening to someone this intelligent. He’s a great guest and manages to be a great ying [...]






















TWiT 222: 3 Dollah Coffee Pot
November 24th, 2009
This Week in Tech is down to a barebones cast, but that doesn’t mean there’s any shortage of news. The first point of discussion is the class-action lawsuit against Facebook and Zynga, due to their delivery of deceptive, scammy advertisement. Advertising is an oft discussed issue on TWiT, so it shouldn’t be surprising that nobody [...]
