Podcast By Larry Hryb, Xbox LIVE's Major Nelson

  • Spargo CXVII

    Thanks for the show guys!!!!

  • OutwarLackey123

    Woot. Got the code! Now when I get Fallout 3 I’ll already have the DLC. Thanks, Major!

  • killer rin

    nice im listening now umm Major one of the links are broken

  • Jimmizilla

    Dang… I passed up the podcast to watch the superbowl, then as soon as I realize that there might be a code, somebody else has gotten to it first!

    Nice job outwarlackey123.

  • RKilbane20

    Why does it take so long for it to go on iTunes store on my iPhone? I don’t want to leave my couch, I’m watching the game.

  • Its Just Joshua

    Thanks for the show guys! Listening to it as I watch the end of the Superbowl!

  • Aryonna

    You said it’s show #371 … it’s show #307…?

  • ZS v2

    Damn, I thought it was Half Life 2

  • Warrengonline

    [HD Pocket Cams]
    The Vado only goes up to 30 fps, but does true HD. The KODAK Zi6 Pocket Video Camera does 60 fps, but is not true HD. The ONLY thing I do not like about my Zi6 is that Adobe Premiere does not like the .MOV extension. [conversion, conversion]

  • Vasilii Zaytsev

    Yeah, it’s #307, not #371…

  • Major Nelson

    371. Huh. I wonder where that came from.

  • Adummy

    Major, you mixed up the interviews. F.E.A.R. 2 is first.

  • XstonefryX

    “Major, you mixed up the interviews. F.E.A.R. 2 is first.”

    Um, that’s what it says.

  • Vasilii Zaytsev

    I think Dave lied to you. His Gamertag doesn’t exist :P

  • Adummy

    “Um, that’s what it says.”
    Someone fixed it.

  • hied

    @RenegadeSniper7, it exists. The link is just linked wrong currently. Cut and paste.

  • Aryonna

    @Major

    Don’t worry we forgive you! LOL =]
    Have fun in Florida… sadly being in California makes it hard to go anywhere lol.

  • hied

    Is Edgy1111 Edwin Loo’s gamertag? (Not sure if I spelled it right.)

  • hied

    e, let us know the first time you lose your remote control or something and you ask if anyone has seen it and it’s under your cat…because it would be fun if someone says it’s underneath (under Neith) and then you respond “underneath what” and they just keep saying “underneath” and you get all mad…and then they say “who’s on first”…oh nevermind.

  • Renown Recon

    Great Show like Always! Can’t wait to get FEAR 2.

  • unbreakabIe

    The first code wasn’t valid?

  • BrarStar

    good show!

  • Renown Recon

    Haha you are so going to Comic Con in New York Next Week lol Take me with you hahaha

  • davidkenobi

    What Major ? You’re not travelling with you’re 360 !

    Thanks for the show.

  • HH Li

    Major, when can we get the Asian version patch for Fallout3?
    or can I get my 800msp back?

  • MEXICAN GRUNT

    I love e, “thank god its not 4/chan” that had me on the floor.

  • Boomchukalaka

    Did anyone else think that Dave Matthews was THE Dave Matthews of DMB fame? Thought that would be very kewl to find out he was a gamer!!!

  • Ganon255

    I agree Major. All “Games for WIndows” games should say “(PC)” next to them when they appear on our gamercards.

    I know Fallout 3, The Club, Universe at War, & Kayne and Lynch do not have this. Halo 2 and Gears of War do say (PC) or (Windows) next to them.

    Shadowrun PC appears as the same game as the 360 version.

  • Turtle502

    the last 3 minutes was dizzying! :S FEAR 2 should be good. (In other news, Phil sees his shadow…6 more weeks of hibernating with your 360!)

  • Anonymous

    Haha, I saw Dave Matthews and got excited about hearing the band talk about video games. Oh well, I didn’t hear for Dave Matthews Band; but, I enjoyed Dave Matthews. :)

  • Greg the Mad

    Why dose Fallout 3 count as two games anyway? (360/PC) I mean you can do that same stuff, get the same achivments, etc. … its like playing the same game twice, meaning twice the gamerscore. … aint that like cheating?
    I mean, imagine playing Avatar: TLA twice. Got my point?

    The achivements of both games should count as one game.

    Greg the Mad

  • jphil03

    Great show as always. always miss the codes, but i have the DLC for Fallout anyway. Have fun in Orlando. I know nothing about American geography, but sounds good.

  • hied

    Just to welcome “the real” to Orlando, I’m a gonna hafta agree with Greg the Mad. :)

  • MEXICAN GRUNT

    I agree with him too. In a way.

  • OutwarLackey123

    How strange. My comment appears to have messed up when I edited my profile.

  • hied

    Yes, in a way for me too MEXICAN GRUNT. I mean it’s not really cheating because the way it’s set up anyone can do it. But ideally they should combine achievements so playing the same game on different platforms counts toward a single set of achievement points.
    .
    But as to letting others game on your live account, I’m with e on that one. :)
    .
    I’m probably just mad at “the real” for bringing the cold and cloudy weather with him down to Florida. :)

  • Warrengonline

    @MajorNelson
    I was going to request some video from your Creative Vado, but since you’re going to be here (today) I assume you’ll get some crowd shots and such and post some video. I’d like to see some sample video clips. The .avi format of the vado is what interests me the most actually. The Zi6′s 60 fps got me, but the removable storage (4GB+ SDHC) sold me. The battery recharger and rechargeable AA batteries just sweetened the deal.

  • HunCity87

    I agree with Greg the Mad and e….both have a good point.

  • Warrengonline

    [smiles] and wonder who got 1000 Gamerscore in Mass Effect and Assassin’s Creed, let alone Rock Band and Rock Band 2. But then, are PC (Windows Games’) Achievements carried over to Xbox Live (Console) Achievements? Why are there Console Achievements and PC Achievements? Just curious.

  • DevsterC

    Reading those codes midstream is disruptive to what flow exists in this ‘cast. I had same complaint when the GSBlog folks (may their batteries never die and their friends lists always be full) did it.

    Maybe keep it to the aftershow.

  • HMote

    I love the podcast, but I can barely hear e most of the time. The only time e’s voice is even close to the same volume as Major’s is when he laughs. Anyone else agree???

    I’m sure it could be an easy fix in the future. Thanks!

  • bknight2k

    Any reason why you didn’t indicate that Fear 2 is also coming to Games for Windows?

  • Vulak Aerr

    Nice job on getting a Touch Pro. I personally prefer the sliders to the Palm style keyboards. Allows for quicker typing because of the larger sized keys. I’ve had this phone for about 4 months now and nothing else comes close imho (and I have tried the others).
