I'm loving the fact that Chris' only contribution to the podcast this week are his cockeyed nipples.

I had to quit halfway - it didn't seem like they have any sort of set format to these podcasts. They have a few bullet points of things to talk about, and then there is random bits of comments that just aren't interesting.
Oh, and I love the dead air halfway through when ludwig had some good things to say about Vanquish, and then some other guy says 'so you didn't like it?' - wtf, were you even paying any attention? Most annoying thing you can do in a podcast is the pipe with some random response.

These people have no idea what they are talking about. I have like 20 different podcasts in my iTunes and I would say you are the best video game related podcast on there.

After listening to Justin's thing about the nomenclature of video game, I couldn't help but disagree. First off it just doesn't seem like that big of a deal, reminiscent almost of the great Doll/Toy versus Action figure debate.
The other problem I have with it is how you keep picking on Halo. You said the last time you discussed this that all the consecutive Halos weren't so much sequels but different versions, but then today you talked about mechanics being changed what makes a sequel. This might just be simple difference of opinion, but you don't think there's a massive change in mechanics between Combat Evolved and Reach? Or Even CE and 2?

So, I'm guessing you guys used Cloud Cult for the intro because you couldn't get Nickelback or U2, so you went with the next worse thing?
