After a good lunch of mandi (traditional Yemeni rice dish), hosts of the show get this unusual energy to go through the entire episode without a break. We talk more Skyrim talk from khalid, Resident Evil: Revelations demo (including a small talk about Resident Evil 6), Mohammad finally gets his hands on with Uncharted 3 after Muhammad Ali's nagging, WWE12, Batman Arkham City, all this and more on the Lochal Archade Podcast... Oh we talk more about SOPA too... and Ubisoft DRM...

Asatiir the host injured his back prior to the show's recording, We talk Just Cause 2, Etrian Odyssey 2, Soul of Darkness, Pushmo, a little bit of news that involves CheapyD of Cheap Ass Gamer fame, toy guns branded by the US Army, shed some light on the blight known as SOPA and talk about fanboys being idiots about the platform wars... again.
