See you for more regular NoMoWo soon! This podcast will soon wipe out 93% of the world's population.

In our penultimate installment, Alex and Ray get deep into the video game talk (well, for this show) by describing the beat-em-ups they've been playing, as well as talk about shower amnesia, LINE, nose holes, and in classic fashion, Ray corrects Alex on something he didn't even say. This podcast may impair your ability to drive a car or operate machinery.

We tumble into Tuesday with a new report of what we did the past day (not much!), what we ate (junk!), and where we're going (nowhere!). Plus, another quick round of The Balcony - that's our new short name for it. This podcast will soon meet its maker.

The second edition of Homeland Week (formerly Arguefest) begins!

Just like there's 62 ways to skin a cat, we do our 62nd way to record a podcast. Ray returns from the E3 gameapalooza with... not much to say about that, but Alex is ready to go off about birthday shopping for the two most important people in his life; his extreme apartment makeover; and interning at the bar and dabbling in video game mixology. Plus! Donor recognitions return, and another surprising round of The Balcony is Closed! This podcast will, in time, learn the error of its ways.

In this very special episode, Alex entertains his friend of 50 years, Smoo!

60 men enter, two leave! And they can only talk about silly things like a Nihonland Weekend postmortem; chilling tales from Ray's flight; bartender etiquette; organizing the game bar; Alex takes himself out to the ballgame; Ray is summoned, and the new face of Fan Fun, including an apology to, oh, about 30 of our listeners.

With Alex unable to record because he's busy sipping mai tais on the deck of an extravagant beachside property (one-third true), we thought we'd use this week to give you a rare exploration of the NMW blooper reel -- a collection of promos we hoped would reel in potential sponsors. Enjoy yourselves, and we'll see you next time for Homeland Week.

Our glistening twenty-fourth episode is a cornucopia of discussion, including Fuhhh yeah, FFXI; how Dark Knight Rises may improve Alex's life; another visit from our robot pal; one of many nutty, badly-told stories from Ray's old school; our first official round of Overnerds, and we reveal our plans for Homeland Week! This podcast includes a CD-ROM with over 5,000 sports clip art images!

In our tolerable twenty-third episode, we follow up with Angelic developments; Alex loses his long-standing battle with humidity; adventures on the FFXI test server with 100,000,000 gil in party cash; Barnholt High closes its doors; the original Dr. Mario lyrics revealed; this week in gluttony with the latest BK News; Alex melts down at absolutely nothing (again); Ray rocks the world of e-literacy with book news; and the most insensitive Facebook Likes we've ever done! This podcast has been remastered from its original acetate pressings.

In our generational twenty-second episode, Ray follows up on his MiFi folly; we discuss classic food science wonders; talking about going home at a reasonable hour like two old men; new procrastination techniques; Final FUNtasy; a brief visit from a special guest; Alex gives us a valuable peek into his ancestry; good old-fashioned Japan gripes, and a new round of Facebook likes and thanks. This podcast can suffocate if placed over head.

In our tremendous twenty-first episode, Ray braves the out-of-doors and is shaken by what he finds; Alex recounts his origin after being unable to produce a certificate of live birth; the boys are left aimless in the absence of the Book Club, leading to therapy round 2; and dig down deep, because we need your nerd stories! This podcast can be equipped in both hands to deal double damage.

In our spectacular twentieth episode, we discuss the most topical of topics, including impressions of Ray's new iron; Alex's kickin' new drop; new McDonald's stories from Alex *and* Ray; Windows 7; and last but not least, the final entry in our "Top of the Rock" Book Club. No, wait, Alex wants to talk about FFXI again. This podcast just needs a buck fifty to buy a cheeseburger, man, thank you and God bless.

In our milestone nineteenth episode, Alex entertains a childhood chum until the wee hours; Ray bumbles into buying a new iron in lieu of a second 3DS; Alex dives head first into Diablo 3 and expresses excitement for future online gaming; a clarification on a Clarification; investigating whether or not we're getting more ornery; and Book Club?! You bet! This podcast enlarged to show texture.

Our independent eighteenth episode features all the NMW staples you've come to love: Alex drinkin' and ladykillin'; a segment where we keep talking about last week's stuff; Ray ranting about something game-related (specifically Indie Game: The Movie); BK News; and in Book Club, we barely pretend to care about E.R. This podcast soon to become a minor motion picture.

Our sigh-filled seventeenth episode turns out to be the real mega episode we thought we'd have last time. Ray reports back from E3 with tales of love, loss, and embarrassment for our fellow man; Alex reports back with, uh, Final Fantasy stuff; and in Book Club we discuss 'Friends' and the little blond boy who liked it a little too much. All this plus Alex pulls back the curtain on his secret life-changing (or just life-modifying) project. This podcast needs you to calm down and tell us exactly what happened in the abandoned factory.

Our sumptuous sixteenth episode reveals that Alex is now a bum (again); a triumphant return to Vana'diel; Ray's self-imposed hydration challenge; news from the gaming world leads to an examination of nerd "humor;" Wings, Frasier, and more in this week's Book Club, and more shout-outs to valued donors! This program is broadcast without commercials as part of Cable in the Classroom.

Our facile fifteenth episode opens with a disgusting act of invertebrate murder; Alex bemoans the state of outsourced bill-pay; poignant observations about Japanese naming conventions; a new segment involving violent incredulity; the fabled origin of the phrase "No More Whoppers" (!!!), and another installment of our celebrated Book Club! Are you missing Mad About You right now? WARNING: This podcast should be viewed only through special sunglasses or a protective screen.

In our sober fourteenth episode, we tackle subjects such as new computer accessories; finding time for Diablo III; Ray's garden mishap; hey, weren't those Nickelodeon shows great?!?; Alex screws everything up at work; and in our latest Book Club recap, we talk about the life of 'Seinfeld' and why everybody hated Susan. This podcast meets all OSHA standards under part 1910.25, "Portable wood ladders."

Our lucky thirteenth episode opens with some light game talk; apologies punctuated by plugs; Alex trades one smoke for another; home maintenance and other tips for country living; the tale of the indolent internet guy; a striking coincidence; nut punch torture, and the first proper installment of our Book Club! It's an Alex-heavy episode, but don't let that discourage you from clicking on every single thing in our attractive sidebar! This podcast has a 5-cent redemption value in West Virginia.

In our caffeine-fueled twelfth episode, we discuss Alex's further adventures in illness; confusing Bronson Pinchot's roles; classic television and kid komedy; confusing Brad Garrett's sexuality; yet more Final Fantasy talk; Alex's further adventures in settling in; moderately anticipating Dragon Quest X; the Week of Sandwiches; convenience store best practices; Internet humor and the podcast hosts that gripe about it, and turning the ignition on our Book Club. This podcast can get lawns looking lush in just one week.

After a brief outage, we return! Our electrifying eleventh episode finds Alex's eyes swimming in disease; Ray goes to Taco Bell; out and about in Kota and requisite Japanicana; Alex is a quitter; a sniveling round of apologies; good food quickly; Bic Camera offers to take pictures as they will last longer; Alex eats Italian food with a genial Californian; Ray proves an unwitting contestant in Alex's quiz show, and dust off that library card -- it's the No More Whoppers Book Club! Taking photographs of, with, or near this podcast is strictly prohibited.

A rookie mistake led to a terrible recording of what would have been NMW #011, but that's OK, since it probably wasn't that great anyway. Nevertheless, we didn't want to leave you in the dark, so we spend a few dozen minutes talking about what we talked about, which was mostly Final Fantasy XII again. After that, please enjoy a brief skit on the harsh realities of today's job market. See you in May!

Our tense tenth episode dips toes in such subjects as an addendum to last week's Rifftrax talk (which amounts to another half-hour segment); Alex's new apartment of spookiness and plumbing excitement; Ray's wireless mouse surplus; the No More Whoppers drinking game; Burger King's new commercial controversy; misadventures in public transportation; a bit of self-enacted marriage counseling; Alex makes a drop in real-time; and even more xenophobia talk! This podcast's eyes are up HERE, THANK you.

Our longwinded ninth episode includes Alex gearing up for his life-changing move; escalating convenience store wars; Tweet Theory continued; NewsRadio concluded; Guy Who Doesn't Understand Wikipedia; the science of riffing; Hands: the Hands of Hands; Ray contracts coconut poisoning; Alex's dad writes in, and that old icebreaker, xenophobia in Japan. This podcast soon to be a feature length animated film by Hayao Miyazaki.

In our sneezy eighth episode, we discuss where Alex is REALLY moving to; an FF9 progress update; why Alex doesn't want Ray near his family; energy drink safety; a new dramatic reading of snack food copy; school picture day, and a listener wants to know who our favorite comedians are. This podcast cannot cause death from caffeine toxicity.

Our scintillating seventh episode explores the halls of Charles Edwin Cheese and his delights; a fiery new energy drink that indirectly injures Alex; more news on the errant Italiano's impending move and its troubling lack of information; Finally Fantastic IX; goofy cars and other videoed games; up-front eikaiwa fleecing; the WNYX-Piston Hurricane connection; a second angle on Dog Whisperer-sensei, and insight into being a jackass on Twitter. This podcast can be purchased at the prize counter for 350,000 tickets.

Our sixth soft-eating episode catches up on such current events as the Game Developers Conference and the insufferable nerds within it; more Japanese misadventures with Alex; talking about NewsRadio; Ray talking much too seriously about his TV show fanpage, and our highest concentration of NBC sitcom music to date. This podcast does not rely on spell check, because it will fresh you in the end.

In our distressed fifth episode, Alex takes our drops to new levels -- very, very low levels. Then we manage to talk about Microsoft Flight, Alex's blog, Alex's moving preparations, and what The Watchtower thinks of video games and exercise. All this and moors. This podcast is an official Boeing licensed product.

Our heated fourth episode touches on issues of staying awake for a day, butler cafes, video games!!!, Kraft Milk Bites, and a conversation about Downton Abbey that expands into talk about the appreciation of old media, things we missed in childhood, and then right back to Downton Abbey. This podcast did - not - have - sexual relations with that woman.

Our sorrowful third episode begins with a round of apologies for our past transgressions, continues with Alex's "wonderful" new career news, and also includes us being mean to Nintendo nerds. This podcast was made on equipment that also produces peanut products.

In our loagy second episode, we discuss some new iPhone games (well, Ray does), our opinions on Frankie Muniz's first superhero role, Alex's French connection, and an extended period of whining about our jobs, lives, or lack thereof. (Find us on iTunes under "Sad Sacks!") This episode is dedicated to the memory of Corbin Bernsen's filmography.

In our first intimate episode, we waste no time with the typical podcast tropes: Strained references, tittering at ourselves, and thoughtful questions like: do you remember that one cereal? Can laugh tracks not suck? Do Big Macs rend your insides? Which one of us is Alex? And so much more! This episode is dedicated to all Big Bang Theory fans.
