THANKS MAJOR!!
How come it takes so long to dl on the Zune mp? Also you say it can be dl on @ the apple store but never say anything about the Zune mp. Hmmm.
hey guys i am like one of the third to see this
Yeah that twitter junk is dumb, Larry. e is 100% right.
Cool. What about a laptop that is good for sound recording?
I wanna record my friends rapping with XLR microphones..
I'd love this www.zzounds.com/item--THKMIMD442 but it is for desktop..
Oh yeah: 1200 POINTS FOR LODE RUNNER OMG ARE YOU NUTS!?!?! ARGLE BARGLE HURF DURF AAAARGH RAGE!!! Hehe. :P
troyBORG: a lot of musicians love Macbooks.
Fantastic Show Major Well done to you and E
LOL Major has No idea what SSD and Raid Zero is .. LOL
What's with the Crackdown intro Major???!!! I'm onto you!
Crackdown intro? You got a special E3 announcement for me, Major? Just make sure it comes with Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic III!
E calls himself a sports fan but doesn't know he's walking past the Staples Center? Still love ya, E :p
and it must have been trixie who got pulled over HAHA, hopefully nothing too serious.
I'm thinking Trixie or Stephen Toulouse... :P
Did I miss what the Deal Of The Week is?
Please please PLEASE let Crackdown 2 be real....
I love the Mac hate! Keep it up Major and Microsoft :)
1200pts for loderunner? I was looking forward to this but as usuall its been everpriced. Were no lessons learned by the poor sales of R-Type? 800 pts is the sweetspot, the sooner MS cotton on the better.
Your story was featured in Drigg! Here is the link to vote it up and promote it: www.gamekicker.com/.../Xboxs-Major-Nelson-Podcast-Lode-Runner-and-photo-editing-laptops
ok so the "They're coming to take me away" reference was pimp! Kudos E Kudos indeed
good show, loved the laptops. Never played a Lode Runner game, but will be sure to check out the XBLA version...sounds like something I will enjoy.
...
Hard to say about those Wii Fit balance boards. I personally use mine twice a week as part of my fitness routine, but like the Wii itself, the novelty probably wears off pretty quickly for most people.
w00t! to Xbox 360 sales growth!
@ KEVLAR x: Lode Runner can't be lumped in with the overpriced 800+ games because this is one of the rare ones that's actually worth the higher price. Just look up everything it comes with if you don't believe me. They could have easily priced this at 1600, so it's a bargain at 1200.
Hearing the Lode Runner history from back in the good ol' days with Doug Smith and Broderbund was pretty interesting, especially the part about the... Lode Runner board game??? Wow I was surprised by that one too! I wonder how that would have worked?
@MACPH1ST0, I will try the demo and decide.
Well Major... You've lost me. This will be the first MNR I don't download in almost 2 and a half years. When I started listening to your shows they were great! Lately though I have found them to be a bit slow and boring in places. I liked your show when it was about the Xbox 360. 25 minutes about laptops? Really? Your last show with Stepto(sp?) started out great. I was really interested in what he had to say. But what is the point of talking about banned gamertags if it all gets censored out? Sorry man. You seem like an awesome guy, but your shows are going downhill (IMO of course). I will keep an eye on the site, but I'll pass on the podcasts for now. Take it easy Major.
@nonskid ouch!! too bad man.. Personally i used a mac for photography and my a/v work.
