Stephen Toulouse's presence of the show has really ruined it since he was caught lying about MS's homophobic policy on bios, claiming it would apply to hetrosexual people just as equally despite his OWN PROFILE doing so and him never getting banned.

Please don't have him on again. Agreed with the above that the bleeping section is pointless and unfunny.

Major seriously you need to do something about the bleeping segment. Either put a link up to the words or make a disclaimer beforehand because this is just ridiculous

I never see the point in added StepTo's Banned Word section. If the words are beeped out, it has no meaning to anyone except Major and Stepto. Always good to have him on the show though.

So when do we *at least* get dedicated voice servers for our £40/year?

Please, cut the censorship.

I got a 3 day suspension last year for making a joke that had "sea men" in it. Funny thing is, there was NO sexual inference - it was a clean joke entirely but i had to say sea men instead of men at sea because of the character limit..

If you listen to 20 seconds of any voice chat that occurs on the service, i guarantee you will hear FAR worse things than the bleeped content. I know what the political statement was, and it REALLY WASN'T THAT BAD.

I think you should release an un-bleeped version of the segment - just for the people that want it. Don't throw it on the RSS, just give us an MP3 and those who WANT to hear it can.

That way, everyone's happy.

It is pointless, but you can just skip to 26:50 when they start talking about it.

fix the freezing guide!

Yeah, the bleeping hurt my ears. Very loud, high pitch, very annoying. :(

Major, please get rid of the segments with gamertags that violate TOS. It's perfectly understandable why you have to bleep the words... but bleeping them makes the entire conversation pointless and a waste of time.

I haven't seen anyone comment on it but: Did any one else experience E "talking to a fly" in the after show? Every time Major would talk, it would buzz like an insect was flying next to the mic.

Also, I have to agree with the annoying beeping of inappropriate content. It is really annoying to have a section on gamer tags that your team(s) find inappropriate and not let us hear even PARTS of the names. I know you have a HUGE audience you try to cater to but this is free on the internet and there are far worse things that children (13-) can find by simply mis-spelling words in Google.

I do not agree with a previous comment that the show is getting less and less entertaining since the codes were removed from the show (Well done, Major) and that it is a chat with E. I listen to this podcast because Major and E talk to each other about what is going on on XBL like any of us would likely do with any of our real life friends.

Thanks for the (semi) weekly entertainment Major and E.

I guess I was right in removing "The Gold3n Sh0w*r" and "Obamasd3a*w*fe" from my list months ago. I do not feel comfortable with certain gamertags - although some are cool - but then some are offending or disturbing - though made in the light of fun (or irritating someone). We're here to game people, not to defame.

The bleeping annoyed me in the original walk through. I'm used to it now, as most have pointed out "What's the point?" if you don't know that the 'point' is? It's as fun as playing charades over the phone (no, not a video phone). My bottom line we all know not to make such names. I remove people who change their gamertags more than 2 times in 6 months.

@Maj

Um, I'm not sure how to say this, but Xbox Live Policy should include: 'How to Change your Email Address associated with your account' or 'What you should do when getting rid of your Xbox360 system with a hard drive or Memory Unit' (in case you are upgrading). This re-occurring topic of inappropriate names is making me feel a bit 'odd' about how more important issues are slowly being resolved. Not a complaint. "Bleeeeeep....... Fries" is what is stuck in my head for this podcast. And the DSi is not as cool as Nintendo made it out to be. The DS is cool as is, the DSi's cameras are fun, but get tired, thoguh the sound editing it awesome. The Opera Browser does NOT support - flash (swf), avi, mov, midi (mid) nor javascript or php. Bascially it (bleeps), but maybe someone will design lite websites with pure html (and/or with css) specifically for the DSi? Who knows?

Loved the show...especially when Stepto shows up. I enjoy the gamertags that get banned segment but the censoring is waaay out of hand. I can't even make sense of what he is saying..You all laugh about it and I'm left wondering what's so funny? In the past you beeped out part of the word so I still got some sort of clue as to what was used. I'd say from a segment stand point in the show. Either uncensor it or leave it out completely. I've no issue with lack of censorship but I understand you have a broader audience then just me.

Just my 2¢ Thanks Major & E..

off topic a bit...E ... You play Alien vs Monsters but not Avatar??? Avatar may be easy gamerscore but its not that bad a game.
