I respect how this podcast always includes time stamps for the topics they discuss. It's something the others could certainly do with.

I just started watching Lost, that Nuzlocke origin story is funny.

Also the Pokemon Go beta sign up is a scam.

Worried about SFV in Japan. I hope the 8-4 duders can give some insight.

@zaldar: It's a podcast from a localization team called 8-4 play who are based in Japan. They're not exactly affiliated with giantbomb duders perse, but giant bomb just hosts their podcast here.

Love 8-4 play though. Always a pleasure listening to them.

So if you think about it I assume you know this but - this podcast is not add supported. The other podcasts here are. As such if they did what you are suggesting it would make it much easier for people to skip the ads. Obviously this is not something they are going to want to do. This is a business after all and is about making money.

Man that ending though ... wow...I have no idea what I just listened too but I suddenly feel like I need to go to an 80's party...

So include timestamps for premium podcasts?

Boom, ad supporting problem solved, simple code that greys out the timestamp for nonpremium members just looking at the comments.
