Blendover Episode Twenty Three:
Most of you have heard the news about the NSA PRISM Scandal this week, but did you know that tech activist Aaron Swartz warned the public about these exact practices to the letter in an interview last year on RT? We dive deeper into the murkier areas surrounding the scandal as well – including the oddest possible connection to a WTF Nazi story we first covered way back in the old Social Blend days. But it’s not all ‘why so srs’ – as we also bring you the latest reactions on the news surrounding PS4 vs. XBone from E3, with the announcements of games such as Final Fantasy XV, Star Wars Battlefront, Halo 5, and more.

BlendoveR is a fun, hard-hitting pod-cast where rules are regularly thrown out the window in favor of honest, open commentating opinions. Presented by Greg Davies (cGt2099 from The-TrukstoP.com), and Terr Ciavarra (Media Nox from medianox.bandcamp.com), we stray on to any topic that presents itself or wanders off onto its own tangent.
