Oh, and thanks to your friend and ours Tyler Miller for the socially diverse photoshop.

FIRST...

of all let me say thanks for the podcast. It's always a highlight of my week ;)

That word you said = automatic downvote.

If it was wrong, I don't want to be right.

Ludwig provides the area under his chin as protective shelter for the other children.

Hhm. That wasn't meant to be a reply...

Oh well, at least it's better than Mr. First's comment anyway.

Jose you smell.

Btw I used to be part of the Burger King Kids Club, up until they cut me off at 13. It was a bleak birthday without getting sweet stuff from the King.

Like hell, I smell! Gee golly you're swell.

Well:

1. you're a commy
2. you're a gremlin
3. you smell

Conclusion: You smell.

p.s. what the hell is up with the "Gee golly you're swell"?

It rhymed.

No being racist against Mogwai. We've been in cages for too long, our plight ignored.

"We've been in cages for too long"

That would explain why you smell.

Sorry I was cross referenced with another sentient being?

Gah, so late, now I cant listen to it till tomorrow. :(

Oh god, I absolutely loved the last minute and 40 seconds, well done.

Hahaha! Awesome photoshop! Even better because I'm planning on being Kid Vid for halloween!

Good luck explaining who you're suppossed to be every 30 seconds. Does anyone remember the Blockbuster Video version of these kids? "Oh what a difference , Blockbuster video"

Chris is in a wheelchair. Is it a metaphor for his podcasting abilities? Who can say...

Then clearly Justin is the best podcaster to ever live- too bad that's not true. He's the second best, behind Ludwig.

You cut me, man ... you cut me so deep ...

So deep,

So deep, put yo ass to sleep?

Oh God, its like I'm young again!!

Don't panic sir! You're experencing a nostalgia attack. As long as no one mentions any thing entertaining from the 80s and 90s you should survive.

Which reminds me...did anyone watch Street Sharks? I always thought it was a Ninja Turtles ripoff.

ah but do you remember the Street Frogs , Tiger Sharks , Karate Kat and the Silver Hawks?

THEY FIGHT! THEY BITE! STREET SHARKS!

McElroy Bros in the Hizzy FO Shizzy!

(are the kizzids still sizzaying that?)

There's a naked woman on my TV. It's in HD. Oh God *grabs tissues*

lol, THANK YOU

I'm so tired of that word being used. Half the time, it's not even used properly!

Thank you for this.

I hope this episode features a righteous excoriation of Dante's Inferno and the Ripper game.

I'm practically salivating at the thought of getting home from work and having this to listen to.

Who's who in the Photoshop?

Good to see you guys back.

On the picture,

you nostalgia, you lose.

I am so going to listen to this during my kid's soccer game tomorrow! Isn't that what any responsible gamer parent would do?

As a gamer parent, YES! I hope your kid dominates tomorrow!

Curse you Nick Cage remake. You made me change my XBLA GT! Now I want a photo shop of Chris punching a child Ludwig while a burning Justin Wicker burns in the background. Also that sounds nothing like me. Damn you Do It Line.

Moxie

Philadelphia isn't the 5th largest US city. Phoenix is.

I'm not sure whether the murder rate is why you slipped behind Phoenix.

The Devil Bird scared the shit out of me.

Tough break on the Skype from Honduras guys. I'm in Spain right now and get similar problems with Skype. :(

It's a shame.

Cool, read my email (about the netbook games)

Thanks for the suggestions, think I missed the D2D sale, but ill check out GOG and Ben there Dan that, been meaning to pick that up for ages. Thanks for the help!

I honestly didnt even know when Justin switched to Griffin, one minute he was there on his sketchy connection, and the next Griffin was subbing in...

Clearly the next Visceral game should be based on Justin's adventures with the Honduran Devil Bird. It shall be titled, "Devil May Caw."

C Grant hate Sony.

I kid. PSP Go is $50 over-priced, a victim of Sony pricing architecture guidelines - New version goes to market at the original's price.

How do you feel the Zune HD pricing compares [$229 with even less functionality and unclear gaming potential] or the iTouch [$199 and many games to download and texting ability].

Seems the Zune HD is the worst gaming buy and the PSP Go - though $30 more would be a better bet - and as far as gaming options, the iTouch is a bit more "tacked-on" and not a wise investment for a gamer.

thoughts?....
