Winterbottom (XBLA)Soooooo, if you have a X-Box I suggest picking up this game. It has a very similar feel to many flash games you might have played already, but with a very glossy sheen and hilarious, silly and downright lovable “story” to it. 800 points ($10) will net you this gem: And if you want to try a flash game that shares some of the same gameplay elements and is very charming in it’s own way, then I suggest checking out The Company of Myself.

Sunday Morning FunniesAhhhh, how we all can relate to this. If you cannot relate to this, get off our god damn website!
Marvel Comics’ depiction of anti-tax protesters inspires anger, apologySo this has been floating around for awhile now, and I think it is hilarious the amount of attention it is getting. It is on the news channels and if you click the photo below, it will take you to the Yahoo story on it. A group that shares it’s name with a group of individual who place their testicles in other people’s mouth really needs to lighten up. And why isn’t Marvel apologizing to all the Nazi’s for the terrible way they portray them? Burnt Weiners Episode 013 The Question #37
The Weiners invite Steege and Travis to join them once again to talk about one of the DC one-shots that tie into the Blackest Night, The Question #37. All the guys decide to try and talk over each other way too much as they touch upon some other comics and Star Trek. A little bit about video games are brought up, and Travis even forces everyone to make Superbowl predictions even thought most of the Weiners don’t even know who is in the Superbowl. Enjoy the looooooong show! burntweiners@gmail.com www.burntweiners.com Direct download: Burnt_Weiners_Episode_013_The_Question_37.mp3 Sir Critter T-ShirtsNice! Gonna have to get me some of these.

Please forgive the crew for a little bit (and in some areas a lot) of echo throughout the episode, it was a bit of a technical glitch that comes from all the time travel we do. The guys are joined by Travis to talk abotu Captain America Reborn #6(of 5)! Weed and John try to get everyone into Guardians of the Galaxy. The X-Universe is touched upon, but then a lot of talk about Sleeper, The Engineer and Green Lantern. Then the Burnt Weiners prove to everyone that anybody can sound stupid when trying to give an example of irony. And make sure you stay tuned after the ending song to find out the nasty little trick the guys pulled on Weed!
