Mass Effect 2 is big. Oh, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist, but etc., etc., more thinly veiled references to the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

Scares mentioned it yesterday, but we’ve made a handful of bonus announcements regarding the Level 20 event tomorrow.

Most notably, we will be broadcasting the podcast LIVE as it’s being recorded. If you visit the forums, you will now see a “Stream” tab along the top of the page. Click that and you’ll see a nifty little popup video player. Click it on Saturday, January 23rd at 10:00CST, and you’ll be listening to the newest show, LIVE.

So join us in the Forums chat tomorrow at 10CST for this killer event. If it works, maybe we’ll look at doing this for all shows going forward. If it doesn’t, well at least you’ll have a story!

I google imaged “cursed”, and this is what came up:

And I literally think nothing could be more apt. If you haven’t read the subtext (which would make sense because I haven’t really given any, unless of course you’ve read the title and can… I DIGRESS) level 20 is cursed. We tried recording last night, but Mix’s power didn’t come back until midnight.

And then, tonight… blessed tonight. Everything looked good until 5pm rolled around and all the freaky Illinois people got home from work and simultaneously fired up the internet porn, and Mix’s power went down again.

So, what does that mean for you, dear listener? It means:

Fall Damage Presents:

A Very Fally Breakfast

A one time only special engagement

With your hosts Aevan, Mixmoff and Dr. Scares, convening at the ripe hour of 10am CST on Saturday January 23rd, 2010.  Join us in our Chatroom and lets eat eggs together. Most likely it will look like this:

The count down is on.

With the beginning of this new decade in this, the 21st of our modern centuries, on the date of twenty and six with the stars of Orion acting as a sign post… it will begin.

The hype machine is in full gear for the Mass Effect 2 launch and I, humble as I may be, am doing everything in my power to fuel those flames with my unceasing fandom (wah wah). This game, if you somehow dug a hole and managed to fall in it, is the continuation of Commander Shepard and crew’s odyssey through space putting things right that once went wrong, and hoping each time that their next leap…. wait…

Its being touted as the Empire Strikes Back of the Mass Effect saga, and that can only be a good thing.

Unless that elephant alien is Shepard’s father… that would just be weird.

Regardless, enjoy the launch trailer:

My power’s been out for about 4 hours now, so we were unable to record the level 20 show tonight. We’ve rescheduled for tomorrow night, meaning the new episode should be up Friday morning.

I’m currently using up what precious little laptop battery power (and cell phone battery power) I have left to notify you. How special do you all feel?

I’m not certain it was sabotage, but who would have the most to gain from a postponement of the show? All signs point to current Listener of the Week Trefoilknot, looking to extend his reign of terror.

At this link you will find a mashup of the original Nintendo staples Super Mario Bros and Tetris. Flawlessly executed by Newsgrounds user SwingSwing, the game makes so much sense it’s ridiculous.

Give it a try!
