The show is back to full strength this week and we even got a bunch of email from you guys. Of course, we ended up reading every one of them and complained that there were too many because we are jerks like that.

Ike Dodge Man, almost forgot to post this, got caught up watching Eric's Opinion of Diablo 3 below. As many of you know I like to legitimately raise money for various things here at justcoolenough. Number one on my list is Justcoolenough.com, because without listener support (doesn’t mean just money, email us people, we like emails that don’t just involve people making fun of us) we wouldn’t have a show.
You’re money has helped our site remain running, provided Eric with the materials to do Eric’s Opinion, Joe with the ability to borrow money (and always pay it back) to cover various expensive that allow him to maintain being part of the show, and for myself, half the cost of an inexpensive graphics card so I can see the screen when doing the show.
Beyond those expenditures that help us provide you with the quality entertainment you get from JCE every week, the money given to us by users has also been given back to the community at large. I matched half of a $50 donation made by JCE (so total of $75) to help families during the holidays pay for toys for children. You listeners personally got me to Run For You Lives so I could get eaten by zombies (video up in 3 days from this post), and now I would like to ask for your help with another endeavor.
I am participating in the relay for life. I am walking because my mother had breast cancer twice and survived. Other people aren’t so lucky and no one deserves to lose their life to cancer. My goal is to raise $300 by June 22, 2012. However, I have done most of the work so far!
I have raised $40 in cash from friends and coworkers. Thanks to the donations of friends and family online I have raised an additional $200 online. That puts me $60 away from my $300 goal. This is where you can come be not only my hero, but help someone truly in need.
Thanks to the donations I got to do the Run for Your Lives 5K, you all have helped me lose 28 pounds since Novermber. Now help me help someone else in need who really needs it. Click the link below, it will take you to my online profile to raise money to help fight cancer, with your help we can do it together.
Click here and show your support, I only need $60 more to reach my goal.
This week I jumped into Diablo 3, which is one of the most anticipated games coming out this year. I have been waiting for this game for a number of years, but can it possibly stand up to all my hopes and dream? Does the need for a constant online connection take away from the experience? Why not watch the video to find out.
Eric's Opinion 
Joe was without internet this week so Ike and myself decided that we were better off doing the show with out him. As a result, we spent a lot of the time talking about Diablo 3. We eventual moved on to stories with a bit more substance like children being arrested for burping and Axe Body Spray.

Podcast This week I finally got around to playing a video game and doing one of these silly reviews. Sniper Elite V2 is a game where you sneak around and shoot nazis in the face. That sounds like a great idea for a game but is the execution of that idea worth $50? Check out the video to find out.
Eric's Opinion 
This week we had to record a day late because of Joe and he almost tried to not do this episode all together. Thankfully we managed to wrangle all three of us with our busy schedules of casual sex with super models and international espionage, to do a show this week.

Ladies and Gentlemen, esteemed members of cultured society, I am proud to present to you a tasty little treat known as Circus Contraption. This band is something out of the bizarre, it find itself in the realm of, “surreal circus.” Which happens to be their first album, now hopefully I haven’t lost you with that bit. This isn’t a circus that you may have been to as a child, no, this one has sexy women, ballerinas, dead women, vaudeville, bestiality, and darker macabre humor.
The band itself is actually more of a full on entertainment act. I found Circus Contraption in my search for steampunk music. If you like off colored humor, slightly odd musical acts, and have a great imagination, then this is a group you should look up. You can find them on iTunes and on Youtube (with some rather entertaining but poor quality films).
The group began in 1999 with the album title Circus Contraption: A Surreal Circus. You won’t find this one on iTunes, but there are five other albums you can find on there. They are definitely worth a listen too. Have a listen to Hoochie Coochie Girls, Wicked Fascinations, and The Slaughter’s Promenade. These will give you a nice taste of their upbeat dark music. In the links below you can find their website.

This weeks show topics run the gamut from Paintball guns to creepy Ukrainian women. There is even a bit of robot prostitution thrown in for good measure because that's the kind of sick people we are. you knew what you were getting into when you started listening.

Yes, it's been a while and there is plenty of music out there to be discovered. Here is one juicy little band I came across in my life’s travels. As you may have guessed from the title of this edition, the band is Mariachi El Bronx. This band as a very interesting sound and a more interesting background.
The band The Bronx, an American hardcore punk band formed in 2002, moonlights as Mariachi El Bronx. The Bronx is definitely a raw sounding punk band and when you first listen to them you definitely don’t get the impression that Mariachi El Bronx’s sound could possibly be from the same band. Mariachi El Bronx’s first album was released in 2009 under a self titled album. They have since released two albums and a single, which can be found on iTunes, and have been seen on a few other albums.
Now to the meat and potatoes of the band and their sound. The band is made up of six main members and have seven additional musicians helping them out. Now, although the band’s name is Mariachi El Bronx, don’t be fooled. The band has barrowed the mariachi feel for their music, but by no means is actually mariachi music. Lots of acoustic guitars and horns back up their music. The perky up beat feeling their music gives keeps the foot tapping and can sometimes even make you want to get out of your seat and do a little dance.
A few songs of theirs you may want to check out are Cell Mates (has a Youtube music video), Litigation and Spread thin. Checking out these tracks will give you a good spectrum of their music. For those of you out there that may have listened to Sublime, this band may be for you. For those of you that haven’t listened to Sublime or don’t like them, I think this band may be enough of a change of pace from Sublime you might find yourself caught up in listening to them.

It's obvious that Pinterest is the next big thing but is it the next Facebook? This is the question that all social media marketers and enthusiasts are asking themselves right now. It definitely has the highest traffic increases that we've seen to date, so is it really that outlandish that, in a matter of time, it will take over the social networking world? Or is it outlandish to think Pinterest can compete against the giants in the social media ring?

This week we did a show and actually decided to record it so that someone might hear it. That whole not recording experiment from last week didn't seem to work out. To make up for the missing episode we grabbed Kristina to help bring the funny and maybe get you guys to donate to us so we can get to Pax.
