great show Major!

I would love to hear an interview with some of the guys behind the Sonic & Golden Axe XBLA games.

Thanks Maj! Swilling Ketel One in a cabana with you and Trixie and Fruit Brute while talking about games was the pinnacle of E3! The Microsoft team really showed those other guys how to get things done, there's no doubt about that!

Some of the interviews were too random for me, liked the bomberman one.

Looking forward to next weeks show.

Hi Major,

Loved the show, but it felt like you stepped on a lot of the peoples answers during the interviews. I understand you got a time restraint, but people were trying to answer your questions, then you would interrupt and I never got to hear the answers.

@Major Nelson

1. Is there any way to change my name to my actual gamertag w/o re-registering? This name is OLD and was made as a joke, so when i signed up here i had to use it. My new gamertag is 'AbsolutZer0 v2'

2. I agree with the masses on 'more e' in this respect - once you introduced e AND Trixie to the show it added a new dynamic, made it much more 'radio' than podcast, which i wholeheartedly enjoy. Its not that we like e better than you, rather it is simply that you guys TOGETHER have a consistently good dialogue. Example: Mike and Mike in the Morning on ESPN2/ESPNRadio - Those two make for a great show. If you take away one, it detracts from the other. Also, it reminds me of baseball announcers, whether television or radio. Minnesota Twins broadcasts are a good example. Bert Blylevin does the color, and Dick Bremer does the calling - but both mix it up from time to time, just like you and e do.

Harry,

Sorry, but especially EA's habit of truncating their "next-gen" versions of certain games and having the user shell out later HAS to be addressed, and since locking away content on the disk is just _one_ of their dirty tricks (as seen both in NFS Carbon AND The Godfather), it has to be complained about. Although I sincerely doubt MS will change anything, since they are profiting from it as well.

Ideally we should get the same versions content-wise as everyone else. Getting rid of "pay-to-unlock-the-disk"-DLC would equate to more worthwhile stuff.

Again, I have no problems shelling out bucks for stuff that's worthwhile, but withholding game content that's available in other versions and having the customer cough up more cash to play said content shows no dedication or effort on part of the developers, it just highlights how damn f**king greedy certain people have become.

I admit, I made my previous post up. Sorry :(

Quote BFBeast666: "and other shifty "downloadable" content that just consists of parts of code locked away on the disc the user is charged IN ADDITION to the $60"

About content that's locked away, with all due respect please don't complain about that because the alternative is that they're going to hold it back physically. Then not only will it cost you money but also diskspace. I'd rather have something that they want to charge extra for on the gamedisk than as a extra file on my harddisk.

BFBeast666, I symphatize with what your trying to say, but in my opinion this isn't helping, if the want to charge extra for something they'll do it anyway and if locking away the stuff on the gamedisk gives bad press they'll just distribute it later. The only difference to us will be that it costs extra diskpace in addition to points.

No offense to you Major, but E should most definitely be the official co host. Whilst your show is great either way, its much better with E. The two of you talking back and forth and whatnot makes the show much more interesting.

Glad to see Insomniac on the show. Ratchet was one of the best games at E3.
