Hey Guys, I am an Indian living in the US but I had the toilet that Alexander mentioned @ my home in India AND it's made by American Standard and it's exactly as Alexander says, its to conserve the amount of water used for the two normal reasons you use them for.
Coming to games, I have always had only one criteria for my most fun in a game and that is how much fun I had while playing. For that reason I chose Fable 2 because I really like the humor both subtle and in your face, in that game and also the combat was really fluid and simple to grasp for a very average player like me. I wish more games had that.

Nice podcast. Surprised Fallout 3 was rated so highly with its 1990s graphics. Anyway its my GOTY.
I dont think Fox will stop Watchmen it will probably get leaked on the net anyway...

Hello I'm a listener from Portugal and (insert here all the usual BS, like 'I like very much your show' etc etc...!). I'd like to inform you that Japan and Australia aren't near Canada (as one of your staff well said) but aren't also European countries!! As for the '1-2' toilets, thats an elaborate mechanism (or so it seems to you)to save water. You know that there are countries that make an effort to solve several environment issues. It's bad enough your leaders not signing the 'Kioto protocol' but the regular citizen not understanding what '1-2' toilets are for is not only less forgiving but also very worrying. I love the USA, I have family there and I'm the first to back you guys up in arguments against 'anti-american' fools that are trendy everywere nowdays (unfortunatly), but please pay more attention to what you say in order to not give them 'bullets' and not to make me (and others!) sad.
Keep up the good work! Looking forward for the next show

+infinity for Xav
The Wire is the best show ever, period. I got season 5 for Christmas and finished watching it this weekend.
Got them WMD's!

Anyone else notice that Alex, said "you realize she's old enough to be your mother, right?" when reffering to Jennifer Aniston.
dont worry dude, we wont judge you. I even voted against Prop 8!

In my opinion Dustin is correct. A Fan Poll is just that - a 'Fan' Poll. FANS get to vote on what the FANS think is the best. Not what FANS think what Xav would have chosen.
As a result of not including Castle Crashers The XBLA Fan Poll results will be skewed, inflating numbers for other games that people wouldnt have chosen making the results a moot point.
XBLA Fan Poll -Fail.

Yeah, I would say that you could totally tell all the polls were made by Xav, what with him not including Castle Crashers and putting across that Mirror's Edge was a disappointment when I saw great stuff across the board about it and enjoyed it thoroughly.
Also, if Castle Crashers off and on online play was enough to take it out of a category, why wasn't GOW2 taken out of any categories? Like Castle Crashers matchmaking was a big touted part of the game and it takes ages to work and when it does work is full of glitches.
