Talk about your odd occurrences. Last week I received a couple of random friend requests on Xbox Live,

I think it's cool what Knuckles is going after, but isn't there a way to cheat it? Say he misses a day's achievement. Couldn't he just not sign on to Live, change the date on his 360, and gain the achievement? Then he changes the system date to be current, connects to Live, and uploads his score. Wouldn't that give the same effect?

Please dont remove the opening music, that was what first caught my attention when i downloaded your show. It really sets the mood for the shows and, well, its really rocking!

Major, great show as always. Just a suggestion regarding the registration to your site. Is there a way that you can enable it where you click on a members name and it will bring you to their Xbox.com gamercard? Obviously it was probably thought of before but are there any plans for this?

LOL! A friend of mine wrote that OSX 360 controller driver. Guess I should tell him to expect more hits on his site. :P

Loving the new 360 streaming connections. XNA is great as well.

Another great podcast! XNA is great. Loved your comment about marrying a woman who loves gaming. As a man married to a woman who hates games, I can definitely agree with that sentiment! My wife thinks achievement points are ridiculous. My friend, gamer tag VengefulCasey has a current gamer score of 39934, easily passing Knuckles. I think he is 81rst or 82nd.

Er, doh. That one is for Xbox360 games anyway.

Just ignore my post up there. Don't hit it anyway (strain on GR servers).

There are 877 Xbox games assigned meta-ratings on Gamerankings. I wrote a script that polls the data from Gamerankings.com and dumps it into a csv. http://jeremy.subbuteoclub.com/Xbox360RankingsGet.pl It takes a good while to run because GR's servers are slow, and the script has to hit is about a hundred times to get the info (stupid GR). Don't hit that too often, please. When it's finished running, you'll get a download link. Don't hit the link unless you need to hit the link, please.

Yeah, Jester, bro, I couldn't pull this stuff off without you. We need to finish Cloning Clyde co-op this weekend or something.

First comment in months, this place is crowded. Another good show, sounds like Knuckles and I do essentially the same thing for a living, so that was interesting.
