Kickstarter. A gadget head's paradise... and hell.

The boys revisit the glory days of crowdfunding, what was the vibe that made it prolific, and the pitfalls that befell it. And, most importantly: what does it tell us about love?

Folks. Sorry to bring it down with a heavy topic, but we are once again gathered to mourn the loss of one of the industries greatest contributors - our loyal butler, Jeeves. 

Was he the best search engine around? No. Did we love him all the same? Absolutely.



Come, grab a pint, pull up a pew. Let's reminisce, trade stories about the man who was. VALE, JEEVES!

R.I.P. Jeeves: Butler to the Stars

You've heard of Twitch, formerly Justin.tv, the website where you watch sweaty guys play Fortnite. But are you aware that there is a dark and twisted bizarro Twitch called 'Kick'? It's where some of our planet's greatest degenerates have decided to call home, with extremely lax terms of service allowing them to do and show much more than they could on the comparatively draconian purple app. Your children are watching this filth, mouth agog, and it's letting them vicariously experience what it's like to be the most annoying prick on the high street. Or worse, watching 'rapper' Drake mindlessly bet on slots with house money [allegedly].

Noted establishmentarians James and Raph stretched on their shoulder length rubber gloves to sort through one of the internets strangest pass times - watching other people exist.

But first, a quick run down on GameStop's offer to buy Ebay.
