I've been pulled over a few times. One was a $185.00 ticket for changing lanes in a school zone (my first), another was $290.00 for doing 56 in a 35. Both of those were back when I was in my early twenties. About six months ago, I had a wierd one. I was taking my girlfriend home, and a cop started following us, all the way through her neighborhood, waited at the end of the road while I walked her to the door, then pulled me over as soon as I passed him going home. He questioned me, checked my ID, and let me go. No idea why.

Dragon Age 2 is a prime example of an industry touting presentation over actual content. Sure, DA2 looks nice, sounds nice, might even smell nice. Problem is that there is no magic in DA2, it's just a generic action game that would've been spit upon had it been developed by anyone other than Bioware. I love DA:O, and DA2 took everything I loved about DA:O and ripped it out without adding anything significant. Yeah, it has better graphics, voice acting, and flashy animations, but it's nowhere near as fun as DA:O.

"Hi Giantbomb community, ive always depended on you through the good times now i need some help throught the bad times. If any of you duders can gimme any wisdom on how to face this thing.  The story is ive been with this girl for 3 years. We loved each other, i at least thought she was the one. The last 2 months shes been cold and then out of the blue ( i admit i missed a bunch of signs ) she tells me shes no longer in love, needs space and needs to be alone. My whole world is rocked..   Any of you experienced this?How did your eact?Did you get her back?Should i just accept it and move on? "

One thing I can promise you, everyone alive has experienced this. I was engaged to a woman for three years, one day she just stopped answering my calls. I still don't know what exactly happened to us. I've never gotten back together with a woman that left me before and I never will. If she left, it's a big whopping sign that it isn't right between you two. Everybody fights, but if someone walks, then they're not committed to that relationship anymore. 
 
As for how I've handled getting dumped, when I was sixteen I did it the wrong way. Twenty messages on her answering machine a day, love letters, bugging her friends, etc. It only made things worse. When my engagement ended at twenty-six, I made peace with it, learned from my mistakes, and moved on. I believe that's the best option to take. If she was the one for you, she'd be with you.

I didn't like NDX when it was part of the bombcast, and I don't like it now. Still, I think NDX should exist, I'm just glad the two are seperate now.

I lost Mordin, I sent him with the survivors but he got murdered in the face somehow. 

I like ME2, I do, but considering the entire game is built around this ONE mission, it really wasn't that epic. The only wow factor was that the team could die, but if you played the entire game (as you should, cause it is good), you'd only lose one or two members tops.

My podcast line up is as follows: 
 
CagCast - Cheapassgamer's podcast. Wombat is either annoying or insanely funny. Shipwreck is the brains, and Cheapy keeps things moving. 
Critical Hit - A Dungeon's and Dragon's podcast. I do not play DND, and I know nothing about it, but these guys generally fall apart midgame anyway.
Dan Carlin's Hardcore History - He charges for old episodes (his series on Hannibal was amazing), but the new stuff is free. The way he talks about history is almost like he's reading you a great book.
Giant Bombcast - It's the Bombcast.
Highlands: A Peephole History - Kevin Smith's podcast about Highlands.
Hollywood Babble-On - Kevin Smith's celebrity news/film podcast with Ralph Garman (my personal favorite of the Smodcast podcasts)
How Did This Get Made? - A Podcast that discusses terrible movies that are currently in theaters.
Jay and Silent Bob Get Old - Still a good podcast, but since they're playing at the John Lovitz Comedy Club now, they seem to do more visual gags that don't play on the podcast. (IE: Let Us Fuck!)
Joystiq Podcast - I get tired of Chris Grant going on and on about his Iphone, but Justin's funny in a snotty know-it-all style, and Ludwig is pretty interesting himself.
Live From Smodcastle - Occasional shows recorded at Kevin Smith's podcast studio, the most interesting (imo) being Having Sex With Katie Morgan.
Midwest Wasteland - The guys from VGN would get together and discuss their childhoods and current lives, topics like being broke and crazy ex-girlfriends.
My Brother, My Brother, and Me - This one's hit or miss for me. I don't always listen to the entire episode, but sometimes they're real gems.
Plus One - Kevin Smith's podcast with his wife. It's not quite as funny as some of his other podcasts, but it's interesting all the same.
Smodcast - Kevin Smith's first and main podcast with Scott Mosier. Probably second only to Hollywood Babble-On in terms of off the wall humor. I still chuckle whenever I think about "Forgeticus"
StarCast - I don't like, play, or know much about Starcraft, but this podcast is interesting. Listeners send in tips and strats, and the hosts discuss the Pro-gaming side of Starcraft in depth.
Tell 'Em Steve-Dave! - The podcast of Kevin Smith's childhood friends Bryan Johnson and Walt Flanagan. These two can be extremely oversensitive and whiny sometimes, but they can also be extremely funny.
This Is Only a Test - Tested.com's podcast
Video Game News Radio - Group of Midwestern guys that listen to hair metal, drive trucks, pay child support, and play video games. Kevin and Brian bicker a lot, and it is very amusing.
Video Game Outsiders - John and Michelle, usually informing us that Kyle couldn't make it this week, host the show. I don't think Michelle really games outside of WoW, but John is passionate about it, and probably clinically insane.
Weekend Confirmed - Garnett Lee's post Listen UP podcast. Brian Leahy just quit Shacknews, so there's no real "hardcore" gamer perspective on the show currently, and Garnett is often preachy and pretentious. That said, show is good.

 
Those are my weekly podcasts, most of which I feel have a comedic bent. They don't all update every week (Midwest Wasteland, Dan Carlin, Highlands, etc.), but I listen to podcasts for a good five hours a day, and I only run out of new shows during the holidays and such.

I am completely against digital downloads. It's a bad idea that I believe will be more damaging to the industry than helpful. Steam does it right and gives everyone the idea that it'll always work that way, but Microsoft and Sony have a long history of overpricing everything they can. I also don't trust Publishers like Activision and EA to concern themselves with being fair to the customer when profit margins are involved. Digital download prices are crazy now, when they have to compete with much cheaper physical copies in stores. How nuts do you think they'll be when they're the only option?

"totally agree. the internet seems to of instilled this mentality that everything should be free. and people should work there asses off free just to entertain me. as the OP says i waste £3 every morning on a coffee and listen to the bombcast on the way to work. should the coffee be free too.  "


That's a bullshit defense. Nobody is saying not to support the GB crew. People are upset because instead of creating new features to make it worth the money, they've added STANDARD technology to their website (HD is  several years old now), and walled off staple features of the site like the Bombcast. These are the same guys that just last week talked about how the features on XBL weren't worth the price tag, now they're doing the same shit.
