Wow, nice and long tonight! Just the way I like it!
Thanks so much Major for giving us a mention. Glad you and e both liked the look of the magazine!!

My god, a near two hour podcast. What a way to restart the problem, with a bang. I see there is a MoH:A interview in there, I can't wait to check that out.
the jeff minter interview will be interesting.
sorry to say, space giraffe just doesn't do it for me.
Major, where you from in CT? I'm from Brookfield (Over by Danbury) myself... Will give my review when I finish the podcast :)
Talk about COD 4 BETA
CAll of duty 4
Glad to see your back Major,those last few weeks nearly killed my without a formal show.I even started to shake a little bit without the show.
wow major, 2 hr show well its nice anyways to kick back and listen, thanks again
hey major.. i was wondering if you could tell me how long the limited edition halo 3 console will be available for.. you would really be helping me out alot im freakin out!
Sweet everybody loves e!!!!!!!!!
whats with all the links, please hind them, it looks bad on the blog, thanks for the show, not a big fan of airborn after that demo, its hard to go where you want and setting is boring, wwII, ya played that, gameplay was o.k. why did they swich the controls around, come on, lack of inovation, what did they do, go to a meeting and the main boss said lets just do a wwII shooter, did anyone say no, lets do something different, not even a rental for me, sorry, why is halo good, inventive weopons, enemys, setting, everything, hello?
major why dont you put i in charge of nest weeks show sins your doing so much traveling :)
that could get intresting.. to say atleast. :)
Thanks, Major!
Wow, two hours, awesomeness. Thanks Major.
Great work Major, I'm gonna listen to it on my way to work!
already beat BioShock :-P
That's ALOT of link dumps. oO
I already beat BioShock. You guys take too long. :-P
Hey E,
With all due respect, you are a twerp. Powells Books in Portland is second to no bookstore on the planet.
None.
Major, make the drive down and I'll buy you lunch in the Pearl District. For reals.
--A
E - sorry to break this to you but there are no chicken biscuits at waffle house.
Major - I've actually eaten at a waffle house in Colorado Springs... long story.
keep up the great work.
As a Seattle native I have two comments about this week's show.
1. University of Washington 42 - Syracuse University 12. If the Huskies had not pulled their starting QB it could have been worse. Go DAWGS!!
2. You need to get to Powells in Portland. You will spend hours there. Drive down or take the train (it is not that long). Portland is a cool little town (and Oregon has no sales tax).
Wow a heck load of links mention in this episode, I'll listen to this later.
Cheer Major!
Great show Larry, cant wait to get my hands on the chatpad and medal of honor!
I kinda wish we had even HALF of the rain Findlay seems to have received!!
Down here in Cincinnati we haven't had ANY RAIN for almost a month and a half and we've been around 100 degrees or higher almost all of the time.
I also wish we had Major's Washington weather too..i'm so done with 90+ temps..give me 65 and lower any day!
Obligatory Bioshock comment...I take back all of my previous comments about the game. It's stellar. The demo really soured me to the IP where in fact the demo was terribly misleading. While the game doesn't last a long time and it's a linear storyline, it's a must-have for anyone's 360 games library.
"Yeah, I missed the party." - Larry
Dude, you miss EVERY party at e's. Each show e says "there was a party at my place" and your answer is always the same. X_x At this point I have a theory: it's all yor wife's fault. ;-]
