Show Schedule (no show this week)

Looking forward to the show.

After spending some time with the NXE i think you guys need to put a better text entry system in there. The virtual keyboard is too slow for quick messages. You should include a couple of preset messages. Like "send an invite" or "be there in 5 min".

Or you could use the text input system from Beyond Good & Evil or the old Xbox Rainbow 6 games. It is much better than the current system. The entire alphabet is in a circle, use the analog stick to point at the letter you want and hit "A" that's it. Quick and easy.

I would say to have this replace the current system, but if you don't want to do that then maybe offer it as an alternative.

"I usually just scroll by as there is no useful information there"

That's what we all do with your posts.....

@Anon 24

I NEVER make promises as promises are usually broken. My word is as good as Death and Taxes. I know what a promise and a vow means, too bad most do not which result in the words 'broken' and 'divorce'. I've never asked anyone to like me or hate me. For if I was truly hated, I don't think I'd be playing video games as long as I have. Or when I walk into places people who know my face smile and welcome me - guys, girls, women, children and their pets. Should I state that I have a problem with posts that are not constructive posts and just say "This sucks!" or the over used term of "Epic Fail"? I'd really like to know why Game A is terrible or Why Game B is a must buy - from other gamer's point of view. But I usually just scroll by as there is no useful information there. Is that so hard (difficult) for you to do if it bothers you that much, really?

@ Warrengonline: You can make all the empty promises with unrealistic conditions you want, but that's still not gonna make people hate your mindless rambling any less. If you could just simply learn how to keep your posts quick and to the point and stay on topic, no one would have any problem with you. Is that really so difficult for you to do?

@Turtle502

I think we ought to ask "Why are the shows only an hour long?" They(e and Maj) can keep on talking and discussing stuff (I like unscheduled chatter), edit a 4 hour clip into four 1 hour clips and just release that, and have more blogcasts and edit in 'current' information like Arcade Games (like commercials) and set the date and title and drag and drop it for each week. Said, done, boom! Easier said than done, I presume?

@Anon 21

Oh boyee, my sarcasm has taken another victim. IF you REALLY want me to stop, ASK and GET Microsoft to give me 300 Friend Slots on my Friend's List AND allow Party Chat on Xbox Original Games, mainly Street Fighter Anniversary. And last but not least, get Microsoft to release a SNES-Like D-Pad such as picture: www.flickr.com/.../2695194250 Then I'll be "poof!" you won't see me for sometime! You have my word on that. That way you won't have to cross your demon claws, I meant fingers. :]

Sounds good Major, do you know if anything will be said on your show about the patch for Fallout 3? Hope so.

Hope you had a great holiday season :)

Listened to the Kotaku interview, I like when Major gets interviewed -- that's how his shows should work. e should ask more questions and MN should answer. Maybe Major should consider adding a third independent person or an in-room guest who will ask questions...then we'd get more information! ;)

Happy Holidays Major. Not that it's a big deal, but it seems as if every other week you post this message saying you're not going to make a show, and then come up with excuses as to why you aren't going to.

I don't pay you, so I personally have no issue with it, and will continue to read/watch/listen to whatever you have to say. I just find it a bit odd that you make this post at least once a month.

Why don't you aim to do a show once every 2 weeks? That's about what you've been doing all this time.

Major, looking forward to the show.

I see GOW2 as your last played game, can you share your thoughts on the multi-player part of the game. (That's if you've played MP)

As a GOW fan, I'm getting a bit worried because so far we've had no official comment from Epic about it.

@Warrengonline: Don't mistake Anon 5's comment for "love" of any kind. Everybody on here is sick of your mindless rambling and not a single person would miss it if you stopped posting forever right now *fingers crossed*.

Hmmm, busy, busy, busy. Well, Prince of Persia is a pretty cool game, tedious in 'plate jumping' and funny when listening to the dialogue (which you do not have to listen to - but unlock achievements to some of it). Though II W4RLORD II, cool essay, glad you got an A on it. Though you got away with murder (not that your teacher would know) about what processor speed, onboard RAM, where the Xbox moved into Xbox360, backwards compatibility, Memory Sticks and Memory Units, etc are. Good essay though, save it and update it. I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and have an even Happier New Year. Even to you Anons, Anon 5 especially for sharing his/her love for me rantings. Sorry, no essay this time. Don't fret, the 'army' is coming. ;)

While I usually always make many gramatical errors ,and get chewed bloody for it in every situation,although I lax very much when i'm not being pointed at with a gun,thanks for the comment .This was a comparison/contrast essay.No bias opinion was allowed here.I will be honest and say that I have truly never played the PS3,although I did own a ps2,i loved the black color and the game IONO or something like that.But the Xbox has been my passion for a long time now.I really believe there is not much comparison.Although I do believe that the blue ray can be a decider for someone who is not in the know as you say.Also,a lot of things stated are not true,but i'm not writing an arcticle.If anyone would like that I would be glad to accept your money.
