Russ Frushtick of UGO joins The 404 again today for the fourth, maybe fifth, time? Who knows? Anyway, it's a video game heavy show with a lot of firsthand commentary from Mr. Frushtick on OnLive's new video game platform and Jack Black's new video game. You play as Jack Black, walk around for a few minutes before you have to sit down to rest, and then rock out old school.

We've also got some firsthand info on the new Batman game with Mark Hamill, yo! Apparently, it's da bomb digity. Also, the PS2 is $99, but who really gives a crap? We want a $99 PS3. Who can really afford to drop 400 bones on a game console without any games? Come on, in this economy?!

Yeah, yeah, we know it's April Fools' Day, but instead of playing along, we decide to just chill with all the gags and jokes. Doesn't mean that the rest of CNET and the Web are doing the same. Google's got a new feature that's suspiciously like SkyNet, and Wilson has a surprise for all those Loaded viewers out there. Plus, one of the greatest voicemails in 404 history, so stick around.

Are we sure that Onlive isn't running in some terminal at GDC. When xbox360 was debuting at E3 one year, the demos were running from Power Mac G5's. I'm a little skeptical because of bandwidth but hey, it's a good idea.
