    Major, you were watching Air Jaws. On the newest one the guys go crazy and are on a sled between the boat and the seal.

    You can watch it here:

    Hey StepTo … don’t diss the Wing Commander movie so much. It showed the world a layman’s version of “bullet time” 3 weeks before the opening of The Matrix.:-)

    Another show I won’t listen to most of the way through (after listening 100% for five years) because the audio levels are so low.

    Talk about something more interesting like the disease that’s slowly making MrPointyHead more of a jerk by the minute.

    I am trying to narrow down the issue here….if the audio levels are low for you, are you listening on headphones? I’ve optimized the mix for headphones. Is it just e that is low? Or everyone? Let me know and I”ll really crank it up next time.

    good show. I’m with E about PETA they are joke, much rather donate to the Humane Society since they seem to care about helping animals more

    Great show, as always. Informative, entertaining and funny.

    I didn’t experience any audio-related problems with the initial version of the show.

    Keep it up.

    Electronic Arts owns the Wing Commander series since they bought Origin Systems years ago. They are also responsible for that horrible arcade game.

    WC was my FAVOURITE game when I was younger. I have all the games still and kept them completely pristine. I would love EA to put a WC team together and build a new proper game. I’ll put my name down to be on that team!

    And a new privateer 2 game would be good too:) Or just port the stuff to 360 in HD!

    the second version was better…. E still trailed off at times… i am starting to think its just the way he talks into the mic

    Have you posted the links to the pictures you took at the end of the show yet? I have not been able to find them!

    Remix is slightly better, but E is still on the low end. I listen with iPod through AUX input in car. E consistently requires cranked volume, only to have Major or Stepto return at a yell. Constantly having to up and down volume means not listening as much.
