You brought "Red Eye" back? I liked the new one...
Rubang B (BRUSH WITH FAME) @ Nov 11th 2007 6:31AM
Seriously. You can't disappoint the Brushed With Fame Gang. Bring the Vitamen back.
Triforceowner @ Nov 11th 2007 11:06AM
Red Eye owns.

Good Job guys, in spite of your technical difficulties you managed to be more entertaining and more informative than the 1UP Yours podcast this week, and in less than half the time!
Oh and Raisin Bran Crunch
Luke @ Nov 10th 2007 12:13PM
Awesome, I can't wait to listen.
-Z- @ Nov 10th 2007 12:21PM
Justin sounded sorta..pissed for some reason in there for awhile..
Otherwise..a good podcast as always.
Reuben @ Nov 10th 2007 12:47PM
I'm a big Nick Cave fan. Good song choice.
DaMan09 @ Nov 10th 2007 2:55PM
All of you guys are crazy, Count Chocula is the best, everyone knows that, but marshmallow mateys is good too Ludwig.

Made my evening. Thanks.
willie @ Nov 10th 2007 4:42PM
yayyyy red eye's back!!
I HATED that lame ass song at the end
Rob @ Nov 11th 2007 5:24AM
Cinnamon Grahams. Don't know if you have them US-side, but they're lovely.
J.Goodwin @ Nov 11th 2007 5:30PM
Probably equivalent to Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
Triforceowner @ Nov 11th 2007 11:05AM
LOL, I had no idea there was a five seconds of fame part to this podcast. Yeah, the fame, it tickles. Granola.
Raikage (NDF - PK THUNDER RING) @ Nov 11th 2007 4:39PM
I like the guitar battles and the "cheap Olive Garden"!!!
J.Goodwin @ Nov 11th 2007 5:28PM
Yeah, that was totally the most epically awful podcast ever.
James Lockwood @ Nov 12th 2007 8:06AM
I guess Justin likes Redeye because it reminds him of the movies he's got streaming through his 360 at the moment but I don't: Get rid of it, guys. How about some YES, or Rush?
(Btw, that was a joke, my favourite band is Pennywise; I would recommend them, but I think pro-grock is more Joystiqs thing...)
youruglyclone @ Nov 12th 2007 9:41AM
Regarding the GH3 Singer...yeah he creeps me out too.
reminds me of those thumb wars people.
Edog Lost @ Nov 12th 2007 11:50AM
That podcast sounded like a bunch of senial old men with dementia, talking to each other. The delay on your skype was messing with some of your conversations.
Rice Krispies with some brown sugar and a dab of heavy whipping cream.
T3H WICKERMAN (FDF) @ Nov 12th 2007 12:03PM
Im more troubled by the "stripers" in GH3. Thanks for making me wait for the podcasts you big jerks. No companion cubes for you lot.
Jack @ Nov 12th 2007 1:18PM
Lovin' the 'cast, as usual. And hey, thanks for bringing "Red Eye" back! It makes the end of the podcast seem so heart-warming.
No Country For Old Men: I think it's only in limited release in hippie theaters in hippie cities, so when it comes round these parts, I'll see it.
Favorite cereal: Oh's. Nearly impossible to find (I think it's seasonal) and hella expensive for too-small boxes. But that's probably part of what makes it good.

Before I go off I want to say I love the podcast and I always get a few chuckles out of it and there are even times when I'm slightly informed about gaming. Overall, however, I think you guys have some catching up to do with GFW Radio and there's one major reason why: the guy (I don't know his name and I'm too damned lazy to look it up) who was a theater major, if that's even true, is beginning to annoy me. He's the only one who's always dropping the F-bomb (which means I can't listen to the podcast in the car when driving with the wife and kids). Anyway, he's always interrupting everyone and making comments that you can tell were meant to be funny but fall flat because they weren't well thought out.
Ok, that all sounded way too mean spirited and I don't want this to come off that way. You're all hilarious and, in my opinion, this is the best video gaming blog around, so keep up the good work!
Oh yeah, Fruity Pebbles when I want to bring on the diabetes and Carcklin' Oatbran otherwise.
Dan @ Jan 28th 2008 12:07PM
Justin,
I've grown to love you and I wish I could take this comment away. Ok, you really did annoy me that day, but I love you now...in a platonic way, of course.

ZOMG No Country for Old Men is going to be amazing. I'm a huge Coen Brothers fan (can't decide if Fargo or The Big Lebowski is better!) and from what I'm hearing, everyone thinks it's going to be their best yet.
On the subject of freaky guitar hero characters, just watch out for that singer guy. If he unlatches his lower jaw, he can swallow the bass player whole.
