In a bit of an out of sequence episode Michael and Michael talk about the investment made by Zynga in OMGPop the makers of Draw Something and what the game of it all may be.  Andy is off traveling the world, and hopefully enjoying a much needed rest from technology (as if).  We continue to ask for your feedback on the format of the show, and future topics.  How about an episode on Mobility and gaming?  Or board games?
