South Park is back this week for a 10 episode run! This season kicks off with the new episode "Let Go, Let Gov". At some point soon the series's new game "Stick of Truth" is out, which is a JRPG-style game designed to look like the show with a script written by Matt and Trey.

I figure by this point there's probably no one who's wondering what this show is, so on to the fun!

Any idea on when we can expect a release date on Stick of Truth? I'm a little concerned we've heard so little aside from a new E3 trailer a few months ago.

It's coming along quite nicely, I hear. There was some leaked game footage floating around recently.

The computer system plot didn't really hit the mark as a spoof on Obamacare. It was a dead-on-balls-accurate case study of literally every major IT system implementation. Even hiring the scapegoat after it all goes to poo poo. But the connection to Obamacare was tenuous at best.

Well, it was a spoof of the site, but Obamacare in general. But, yes, it's just much applicable to a lot of major IT rollouts, this one just happens to be the one people are aware of.

The PS4 faithful held a rally where it was revealed that Lady McCormick was commanding them. Then her rat-dragon let out a mighty roar. Who knows if he/she is going to betray Cartman, or if he's still an XBox loyalist.

My hope is that this is another surprise three-parter, which will be great because a third part will air right before Thanksgiving.

There's no new episode scheduled for the week of Thanksgiving.

Bit of thread necromancy but I was wondering if it was something on Hulu's end that made the stream look like poo poo. $8 for HD, I see. Otherwise commercials, lesser quality, and censored audio. Fantastic.

Hulu is streaming content to SouthParkStudios.com at the same resolution the site had beforehand. If you're seeing an episode that is not HD (and is not one of the first few seasons) or censored and shouldn't be, use the "Feedback" tab on the right hand of the site and report it.
