Full Circle Podcast #11: A Painful Washing Experience
In this episode, testing the Meerkat; also Android 2.2, Nexus One and Spotify. Our opinion on neck-beards and imitation as a form of flattery. On gaming, it's Sauerbraten Justice, Quake Live, Rage and the Steam pantomime.

Show Notes
01:05 | WELCOME and INTRO
1:35 | SINCE LAST TIME...
Ed caused a diplomatic incident (whilst Robin simply misunderstood).
Joined Quake Live's new subscription service.
Awaiting Maverick - only 17 days to go.
Dave has been travelling.
Not before Gwibber updates were broken in Lucid over summer.
Meanwhile still playing with Android updates - more successfully than Vodafone's Android mess updating 2.2 on the HTC Desire which upset some customers.
Still loving the Nexus One, although saddened that there's to be no Nexus Two
Games - Sauerbraten Justice edition released with new landscapes, maps, characters
Robin has the Maverick Alpha-3 in a twist over Updates and Upgrades - when the test box isn't blowing the electrics in the office.
