In Multitap, an innovative new collaboration that explores the rich history of video games, we'll bring you all the bashful glee that you had as a child, hooking up that first RF adaptor. And what better place for us to start than with a system very near and dear to our hearts: the Sega Genesis.

The screen opens and we're treated to two naked people, explosions, a carjacking and a joke about a heliotrope -- and we're only 90 seconds in. Yes, indeed! Today, we're going to attempt to look at, quantify and review the single most insane piece of animation most people will ever lay eyes on: Dead Leaves. Hold on tight, 'cause this is going to get twisted.

Exactly 45 years ago today Doctor Who debuted on the BBC, and it quickly became a cultural phenomenon. Now, all these decades later, Earth-2.net launches Bigger on the Inside -- a deep, analytical look at the program and its impact on the world. Starting off, the duo explores "An Unearthly Child," the four-part serial that introduced the world to the Doctor. [ 50:29 || 23.1 MB ]

Doctor Who Week continues on Earth-2.net, and in this episode of Earth-2.net: The Show Dan and Mike discuss Steven Moffat, writer of such episodes as "The Doctor Dances" and "Blink." Not only do they look at his contributions to the program thus far, but speculate as to what he'll bring to the show now that he's been named head writer / executive producer. [ 1:06:21 || 30.3 MB ]

In 1991, the BBC sold the original novel rights to Virgin Publishing, the company which had bought out WH Allen, a publisher which had spent years novelizing each and every Doctor Who story transmitted (with the exception of three which had been written by Douglas Adams, who wanted to write the adaptations himself but had priced himself out of Allen's range). In so doing, the BBC had officially handed the keys to the franchise over to the people simultaneously best- and least-equipped to handle it: the fans.

Due to several circumstances -- illness, boredom, an almost superhuman inability to get along with new producer John Nathan-Turner -- Tom Baker announced in October 1980 that he would be leaving the title role of the Doctor at the end of his seventh season. In the minds of the public Baker was the Doctor, and this was a blow that could easily have crippled the longest-running science fiction television show in the world. However, Nathan-Turner seized his chance to completely remake the show the way he saw fit, and over the next eight years the role would be played by a 29 year old bleach-blonde light comedy actor, a noisy soap opera villain in a clown suit and a former vaudevillian who specialized in stuffing live ferrets down his trousers. Unsurprisingly, it was also cancelled. Twice.

The Fourth Doctor is the elephant in the room. His is the face non-fans of the show associate with the character (at least, up until the new series). He held onto the role for seven seasons, something no other actor has come close to doing. He was on the show so long, in fact, that he went through three producers, each of which had their own take on the Doctor. Never before or since would any actor play the Time Lord in a manner that varies so wildly. There were, in a manner of speaking, three Fourth Doctors. Building on the three previous incarnations, casting an impossible shadow over the next three, the central figure that dominated the classic series remains, to this day, impossible to ignore.

In the early 1960s, the BBC was waging a ratings war against upstart ITV. Sydney Newman, the newly installed Head of Drama, was tasked with completely overhauling the Beeb's schedule. One particular timeslot he devoted his energies to was Saturdays at teatime; he had hit upon the idea of a children's adventure serial, one which would theoretically appeal to teenagers and adults as well. Ideally, it would contain some educational content. Newman, a lifelong science fiction fan with a particular affection for HG Wells, settled upon the idea of time travel. He gave these points to his team of producers, who went off and gave him the basis for the show that would follow: a team of time traveling scientists who would solve mysteries, called The Troubleshooters.

Tunes include: "Ginger Snaps Main Theme" by Michael Shields, "Ginger Snaps" by Under a Nightmare, "Baby Gotterdammerung" by Monster Magnet and "She Moves in Murderous Ways" by The Chuck Norris Experiment.

Superman was doubtless the most popular comic book superhero of his day; out of all of comics, only Batman and Wonder Woman can join him in laying claim to starring in their own title which maintained a regular schedule between the end of World War II and the beginning of the Silver Age, marked by the debut of Barry Allen in Showcase #4. His success on the newsstand led to an incredibly popular radio series, starring Clayton "Bud" Collyer, which ran from 1940 to 1951. It was in this medium that the character's popularity really started to take off. And when radio producer Robert Maxwell took the property to television, the Superman craze reached stratospheric levels. When the series finally went off the air in 1958, Superman had achieved the status of global icon. Yeah, television'll do that.

What's Sean Connery doing looking so bored? Diamonds Are Forever, his final film, is the smuttiest entry into the Bond canon by far, something Ian and Adham just can't help but comment upon. Despite one co-host being ill and working on 24 hours without sleep, this episode still manages to pass judgment on everything from continuity, Bond girl intelligence and gay hitmen, to see-through underwear, references to British TV from the 1990s and the evaluation of Connery's 007 tenure.

Street Fighter was a big part of my adolescence. I guess that's sort of a required statement these days for anyone that wishes to portray themselves as a hardcore fighting game fan, but I was on a completely different level. I became one of those guys. You know the type: the guy so obsessed with becoming an invincible fighting machine that he prints pages of frame data looking for that extra edge. The kind of fanatic that knows what 2LK2LK236MP means, and spends his free time writing fan fiction about Akuma and Gouken fighting on an astral plane surrounded by spirit dragons. (Mine was called "Blood of the Demon" for the record. It involved Akuma punching a mountain at one point. Yes, it was awesome.)
