Update : Game's Over! Look for a transcript tomorrow! But we're all still chatting, so why not come in and say hi anyway?It's been quite a while since we held our last IRC event, but with the solstice drawing the summer days to a wane, it's time once again to dust off the #boingboing IRC channel on Freenode about 15 minutes before the game and /msg Brownlee that you'd like to play. Don't want to play? Come on by and watch.If you've never used IRC before, you can find instructions on how to get to the channel here , or simply use the Java chat applet . To discuss or ask questions, head on to the discussion thread over at Boing Boing Gadgets was your own personal Goatse.cx . I mean, not that we didn't try to space the iPhone 2.0 / App Store to an Alan Moore dystopia, while Brownlee advised stealing a vintage NASA Jet Propulsion Labs trailer. There was a box full of stuff that could probably be built into a bomb and a dimpled, zen-like wash basin . A molten hemorrhoid of a program was yanked from the iTunes App Store news out with some less Jobs-centric filling. There were pet-tormenting insect bots and 12 volt USB power adapters . We even looked at totally stupid weaponry , a naked gyrating Wii Fit beefcake and a vintage 1982 news report on "The Pac-Man" .
And cassette tapes? Hey, what do you know: they're still a multi-million dollar industry .
Beschizza dismissed a dreadful MacBook Pro rumor with a single, well chosen word, then used a grocery store advertisement to prove why Apple wouldn't redesign the MBP radically. Meanwhile, the Wall-E GameCube mod was utterly gorgeous, and XBMC for the Mac is coming along swimmingly, even under its new name, Plex .
Oh, and lest we forget... We drink your milkshake ! WE DRINK IT ALL UP!
