Solving the Debt Crisis
It's true... the United States only has two dollars and a taco, and the world is going to end. But don't fear Brian, Justin and Scott are here to solve all of the country's problems?
- Can a default be avoided by something other than raising the debt ceiling?
Scott proposes that the problem is that Star Wars: The Old Republic will have too much story and not enough fighting. Brian argues that it will be so awesome, plus ships!
- Did Mitt Romney harm his chances in the presidential race by sitting on the sidelines of the debt debate?
Brian thinks that this could be the most exciting year for PC games since Half-Life 2 and Doom. However, Scott argues that you can say the same thing every year. Brian argues back with the fact that right now PC gaming is so far ahead of consoles in terms of graphics.
- Was this debate a perfect example of what is wrong with modern politics, what with the name calling and petty fighting?
