    Looking forward to the BioWare part. Mass Effect 2 is the Game of the Year, it seems.

    Nice show Major and Crew. I feel jealous of you going to watch the Space Shuttle launch cause I would love to see a launch in person. Hope you have a good time on your trip.

    Nice interview with the Doctors at Bioware. Bad that you didn’t bother to look up their backgrounds, since they are not PhD’s, they are MEDICAL DOCTORS… hence BIOware.

    Fried Piper can be gotten in single player at the concert finale. Turn on the lights, then go to turn on the music. We’ll call the side with the soundboard that you turn on the right of the stage. So turn on the soundboard and run to the left stage entrance on the other side. The hoard will come from some vents or holes up above on the right side of the left entrance. When the 1st zombie drops, launch your Molotov, a Clown will drop in too with at least 10 zombies. Easy 15 points…. Now if only Bridge over trebeled slaughter was so easy.

    Listening to the 101 for this week. It is really a crock that you can’t use the pc and xbox at the same time. This happened to me a few weeks ago. So either you pay for gold on a 2nd account (rip off) to run netflix or you sacrifice the gamerscore by creating a 2nd account for G4W Live. Doesn’t make sense to me…

    Does anybody else think Major has a slight resemblance to the Saints head coach?

    Huh, there’s a peculiar echo in between Name the Game and Xbox 101.

    I can imagine this has been asked many times before:

    Can someone tell me the title of the intro music?

    Like

  • juan cabrera

    Does the intro music kind of has a Crackdown-kind of vibe… does anyone else agree? Could it be music from the upcoming Crackdown 2?

    I have to agree with CyberKnight. If you didn’t do an aftershow then it’s technically not a “normal” show. SO close, but, no Achievement
