    You guys talked about moving your Rockband songs to a USB drive. I have heard that you can’t play you Rockband songs from a USB storage. Is this true?

    Also, great show guys. I always enjoy listening to you every Monday Morning. Brightens the work week a little more…

    Sorry for the double post. But there was a name the game for show #354 @ 1 hour 15 seconds. Which was the show prior to the live show. I listened to the live show and you didn’t talk about the previous weeks name the game.

    So wouldn’t show #354 be the last name the game. I know I sent you an email😀

    Good show, Major. Just two remarks:

    -As EXL Unit says, there was a Name the Game in pre-PAX Show in which you could hear a baby and a man crying (no spoilers)

    -Please get the Left 4 Dead story in the next show (you did not tell it)

    Apologies for the double post but here’s the link to the sticks on Sandisk’s site for those of us in the UK as Amazon doesn’t seem to have them on sale yet:

    Too bad they couldn’t have included a 1 GB version of those SanDisk USB drives in the Collector’s Edition of Splinter Cell: Conviction instead of the faulty drives already in it that caused the price to be dropped.:/

    Bummed about Conviction. I am experiencing a machine locking glitch about 4 ft to the right of the first weapon stash that you come across. It has done it 3 times now. This means I can’t progress the game and, because there is no checkpoint before the weapon stash, I have to play about five minutes to get to the point of having the game lock up. Lame. I am not sure what I am supposed to do now. Wait for a patch?

    @Lord Geoff:

    It’s apparently been fixed now, but if not, clear your cache (system->Memory->PresS Y on your HDD->clear cache. Then, don’t install the patch. Problem should be solved.

    Yeah, I wonder if Major will check into it. I actually think I got that one correct. Unlike this weeks that has me completely stumped.
