Hot, damn. Thanks for the show so close to Christmas. You man Major.
Thanks Major. Although I do prefer you do not have a co-host.
Thanks for another great show Major, looking forward to listening in the new year!
Sweet e is back!!!1
Hooray for e cohosting again!
Thanks Major
3rd!
OMG, I hated that stom. All of Vancouver Island was out for a couple of days. Madness!
Yay, e's back!
Happy holidays Major.
I wish I actually enjoyed some of these new arcade games, they seem lacking. I really dont know why. I guess I will just skim through this one.
Nice to see you back though Major!
THX for early show.
Could you discuss this problem in your next show?

E sounds like an annoying person. He seems to give really serious answers to major's lighthearted questions. I'm sure hes a nice guy though. :)
Whoa, this was a shock. This will make my night at work tonight a lot better, since Saturday nights I usually have no weekly talk shows to listen to, and it's just my music all night. Major and e together is always funny too. Thanks!
hey major,you were mentioned in this months OXM360 uk magazine,saying about gears being first over halo 2...
'sadly Microsoft's publicly released who's-shooting-who-in what play figures only show seperate lists for xbox and xbox 360,but american xbox man Major Nelson used his special inside knowledge of the actual numbers to confirm Halo's demoted status'
first time i have noticed your name grace the pages of OXM360 this side of the pond
oh,and Mark Rein Epics top man,when asked if gears of war was gonna be a trilogy said 'why should we have to stop at three?'
have a good chrimbo,major
For me finishing a game is getting to the end of single player campaign (or co-op mode). Having extras like multiplayer, score targets etc is purely for replay value.
Christmas treat! Was not expecting a show, thanks Major!
Real Early one this week. Happy Christmas Major.
I think the term "finished" is just a bad word to use when talking about having completed the experience of a game. If you have completed the story of the game, say that; if you have completed the story mode through co-op, say that; if you have 100% on the game, say that. the term finished is just all to subjective to define for everyone.
For me, when I have "finished" a game - I am finished WITH a game. This can be anywhere from 2 hrs in, to getting 100%, to never at all.
Just my opinion.
Happy christmas Major. I wish you all the best for 2007:).
i like it when e is on the show.. and if Major ever decides to have a co-host e would be a good person or TriXie but she's probably busy.
Nice suprise to see a show on Saturday.
Thanks for the good work you have done this year and merry christmas!
Awesome and merry christmas 2 all :D
sweet, thanks for the show. Have a great holiday and don't get caught in any storms.
For the ringtone maybe he could go with Weird Al's "White and Nerdy"
Happy holidays, Major! It's nice to hear from you :)
