LOLFIRSTONEAFTERFIRST!

Just kidding, looking forward to listening to the utter chaos of like 8 (make that 18) different voices from the looks of things.

Podcast is live! My apologies for crazy inconsistent volume levels. It's tough to manage that many dudes in that small a space!

And holy shit I didn't realize how much that sound damping stuff helped until I heard the podcast again without it.  Good lord, the echo.

I remember like 13 years ago, when I first got the internet at home, I went to videogames.com and it brought to a little site that become known as Gamespot. I once wrote in to someone asking about a gameshark code for FF 7 and Lauren Fielder wrote back to me. I was like 11 years old at the time so I just said thanks and asked her some questions as my mom typed out the e-mail for me. But I asked her if she was married (as a young kid asking, nothing serious) and she said "Yes, his name is Joe and he works at the site. " So whenever I hear/ see a "Fielder" name I think back to the simpler days of my youth.

Ah i was right! great!

Wow Joe Fielder.

Oh man, Jeff gives a new rendition of his PAX08 "everyone has their own channel" speech. Couldn't agree more with Clint Hocking, i love Far Cry 2 for that very reason, and screwing up in that game is awesome, and extremely rewarding!

Couldn't agree more with Paul either.
