You know it, we know it, the whole damn world knows it: On ever-so-rare occasions, there are technologies that we, the nerd elite, have ever-so-slightly... umm... overhyped. That's right, we said it. Overhyped. It's just that when we're talking with engineers or reading about about some hot new technology, we get so damn excited. So excited! And can you really blame us? I mean, who wouldn't get excited when you hear about CPUs that clock in over 4GHz, or instruction sets that will multiply your CPU's performance? And geez, who wouldn't want to turbocharge his gaming framerate? Hell, we shouldn't be blamed for overhyping, it's those damn engineers fault!

In case you do blame us, hit the jump before you collect your torches and pitchforks, and definitely read our apology to the world before you bring an angry mob to Maximum PC HQ.

The podcast gang was in awe of the amazing winged cat! After the sense of wonder and amazement passed, we talked of Nvision, the amazing demoscene stuff that came out at Nvision this week, Video Games Live, and manage not to answer a single tech question in our Q&A bit. Also, Dave interviews Tricia Helfer and Nuclear Bastard. And we talk about the freaky cat with wings some more.
