Christmas came early for one of our readers this week, and our Grand Prize winner, Austin Bullard, joins the team this week for episode #97 of the Avault Podcast. Austin regales us with the story of his receipt of the shocking news, and not only his, but his mom’s reaction to our founder’s early morning phone call. “Cabin pressure was lost!” In Austin’s own words, his new ORIGIN GENESIS PC will help him realize his “lifelong gaming dreams.”

James Thrush, President of Super X Studios, also dropped by the show to bring news of their upcoming title Greg Hastings Paintball 2. Additionally, there’s a lot more gaming ground to cover and the guys chat about Vanquish vs. Lost Planet 2, Shank, Red Dead Redemption, Mafia II, Starcraft II, and Apple’s new iPod. If you haven’t yet entered our Play N Trade Halo: Reach Giveaway, you only have until Tuesday, so make with the clickage – now!
