Cool , i love this shows.
Code Free? Nice Decision. I always listen to the shows for the shows. It passes by time when I'm walking from class to class. I always miss out on the show codes because I'm never at home when I hear you give them. I miss out on twitter too, but oh well. Maybe one day :)
'Uploading to iPhone' so I can listen during school tomorrow!
Thanks Major! :D
Keep children off of Xbox Live or allow users (family/everyone else) to be separated.
End of story.
:( nice show so far sad to read there will be no codes :(
Keep the policy the same and if parents want to let kids on LIVE ok. But parents please supervise your kids. Don't put the 360 in the kids room put it in the common room.
Hey Major,
I respect your decision to make the show code free. I found the codes to be challenging and fun but everyone is entitled to their opinion.
Kick ass interviews Major, can't wait for H.A.W.X and Wheelman! :D
@LZIM
Are you afraid my son will own you? You're right, he would.
Good halo 3 fun.
that was a short show
Did they mention the deal for next week?
Why don't you guys fix zoning? Does it even work? I have yet to see a scenario where zoning is actually useful.
YES CODE FREE FINALLY KEEP ALL THE CODE HOARS AWAY!!!! GREAT SHOW
Shout out to Steven keep up the good job!!!!! AND ALL THE MVP'SSSSSSSSSS
hey nice to see lith is getting in on the show as well
Good job on getting rid of the codes, but don't be surprised if the number of listeners drastically drops after today.
rogXue is right.
No mention of the next deal of the week Major :( oh well I'll just wait till the morning.
Glad to hear it is code free. Great show
I actually don't play Xbox Live for many unrelated reasons, but the more I hear about how policied to it being not fun for so many people, because it has to be Kosher for everyone, seems to make it a bit pointless. Why police online game play when it is a given that the people who play games online, in general, can't police themselves and shouldn't have to.
What I'd like to see is kids and families in one pool and people who can't behave themselves in another. Since they keep getting mixed into the same pool, there will always be problems and blame thrown around. Who left the logs in the pool and why is the water warm over there... frankly I don't care but there are better solutions than superficial moderation.
And parents who allow their children to play with together with adults in an unmoderated environment to begin with. But I don't mean to offend any actually responsible parents who just happen to want their children to play online with adults in an online and unmoderated environment. Especially not one they pay for and those unsupervised adults can talk to and show video content to those 'innocent' children.
Good to hear it's code free. I thought it was cool that you could and did do it, but some shows it seemed that's all what the show was about codes codes codes.....
That and I never was able to get one anyways lol....
I was one of the people that got one of the codes last week. I grabbed the first code and then listened to the whole show. So for me, it was about the code and the show.
Also, this week's episode was nice with everyone on it.
LZIM: "unmoderated" online play isn't much better.
Thanks for posting the show Major.
In all the craziness of this weeks show, I *MENTION* that I am going to tell you the deal of the week, but I never do. (I blame e)
So...the next deal of the week (goes on sale Monday am at 0700 ET/0400 PT) is the Ninja Gaiden II Mission Mode add on, normally priced at 800 points, will be available for Xbox LIVE Gold Members for 560 points.
I'll be sure to include it on my show next time .
Thanks for the clarification :D
Thanks dude. I was about to ask what happened to that.
