Nicely done, Major. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your team!
Wow, three hours. When am I ever going to find time to listen to this?
Looking forward to it. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Larry!
Great, thanks Major, I just hope there is enough show for me to be able to shovel the snow out of my driveway. :)
WoOooo Larry! Half my day at work tomorrow (almost) will be made easier with your show!!! Good work!
Great job on the show. iTunes dished it up for download in a minute.
Wow this probably is the biggest show ever! Thanks for giving me something to do on sunday. And of course Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Major and to E and the team aswell.
Keep up the good work.
Wow, very impressive Major, Happy Holidays and lets hope for an even better gameyear for 2008.
Perhaps this is even your best show yet? *starting to listen to it right now*
Holy ***! 3 hours! That's one hell of a podcast!
Is that meant to say "Heroes" not "Heros" :P
Thanks for the show Major, hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year thats goes to all the Xbox Live team aswell!
AWESOME! Scary Math Guys! I've been wanting to hear them again, and was really disappointed when their last interview was lost. I can't wait to hear this one!
3 Hours, Holy Jebas Major what are you on?
I know its the end of year show but 3 hours is an awfully long time to listen.
I'm going to make a CD for a car & copy it to my MP3 player so I can get through it all.
Thanks for the great year of gaming (especially Q4 this year)
This have to be the longest blogcast ever. 3 hours. I think I have to listen to this when I sit on the bus home for Christmas. That's a 4 hours drive, so it will be perfect.
WOW Major... I've have to find myself a big traffic jam to listen to this show this morning ;) Great show again Major.. and the bigger the better!! Happy Holidays everyone!!
Happy ChristmaHaunakwanzaa, Major! Hope to run into you with the X3F team sometime soon in Halo or Call of Duty 4!
wtf why no more wma?
