If you’re still getting your daily 404 fix via audio, no worries–that feed isn’t going anywhere.

So check out a sample of the show, embedded below and tell me what you think in the comments section.

Here’s what else is going on with me–like you care.

Even though Twitter sucks, I like using it a lot.

My review of the Nintendo DSi went live. 

Make sure you’re reading every last thing I post on the CNET blog Crave.  Leave comments, then tell your friends to leave even more comments.  When you’re done with that, refresh the page about 75 times and leave one more comment for good luck.

As always, make sure you subscribe to The 404 on iTunes or watch us live everyday, Monday through Friday at 11am eastern.

- A new Zelda game is headed to the Nintendo DS – We need this like we need another, well, Zelda game for the DS.

- Motion control for the Xbox 360 – PDP gives Xbox 360 the motion control nobody asked for.

- A storage solution for the Nintendo Wii is finally here - Nothing snarky to say here, this is actually kind of awesome.

- Some brand spankin’ new info on DSiWare – Don’t worry, you’ll probably be rebuying old Game Boy games before you know it.

If you’re even marginally interested in the more serious side of The 404, I highly recommend checking it out here.
