It’s a brand new episode of The Flickcast and on this one Chris and Joe move into a different dimension: time. That’s right, time. As in they go back in time . . . back to the beginning.

If you’ve ever wondered how it all started and what shaped and created our intrepid hosts, then you’re in for a treat. This is that story.

But don’t worry. There’s no radioactive spiders, fleeing far away planets right before they explode or parents being killed in an alley next to a movie theater. And absolutely no pearl necklaces falling to the ground in excruciating slo-mo. Not this time, anyway.

Instead, the boys take it all the way back and talk about the things that made them they way they are today. Movies, television, music, games, comics and many of the other influences that shaped their impressionable young minds. In other words: This is their origin story.

It’s pretty epic. Thanks for listening.

With Call of Duty: Ghosts looming in the horizon along with the next gen console launches, Call of Duty: Black Ops II has one last push to make the FPS world sink in more months of their life in the meantime.

On August 27th, the final map pack called Apocalypse will be released for Call of Duty: Black Ops II on XBox Live with later releases coming to PS3 and PC. It will include four new multiplayer maps (Pod, Frost, Takeoff and Dig) and one new Zombies map (Origin) to help round out the Black Ops II experience.

Pod: A failed utopian community from the 70’s has left stacks of dilapidated residential pods nestled into an abandoned cliff side in Taiwan. Its residents long gone, the modernist compound now hosts frenetic combat as players must run atop the pods, as well as navigate their multi-tiered interiors for a strategic edge.
