On the Spot is our live interactive weekly show featuring the latest in gaming, coming to you straight from the GameSpot offices!
When all seems lost, and a giant robot with a predisposition for getting fruit juice in the most offensive ways possible has destroyed your house, what do you do? You round up Gabe and Tycho and seek closure in Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness. Unless you are the Hulk. In that case, you just get angry, get huge, and tear that massive fruit-violating machine a new one. Finally, once you're back in a safe, warm home, you can get down to enjoying some college gridiron in NCAA Football 09. On top of all that gaming goodness, we've got game-industry updates galore this week On the Spot!
We'll see you live right here, each and every Thursday at 4 p.m. PT, 7 p.m. ET, and Friday at midnight for our friends on the west coast of Europe. We're live and On the Spot!

Awesome! When I first saw Christen here on Gamespot she was demoing a blackbird HP computer. I was really impressed! She seemed to know alot about games and computers that I actually thought that It would be awesome if she came and worked for Gamespot! It's nice to see them making good choices and hiring talented people again.
