There is no "release date" in the iTunes version of the podcast, which fucks up the entire list of podcasts. And that pisses me the hell off. Someone fix this.

Oh man, just digging into the podcast, and now I'm torn between that and the Fallout 3 preview. Props to Giant Bomb for helping me get through another late night.

Peace from the East.

That was a pretty interesting show. Was refreshing to hear another part of the Giantbomb crew. Has a pretty cool sense of humor too.

I sadly didn't enjoy this one, not because Jeff wasn't there, because i reallylike Snider! It just felt a bit...i dunno

Good podcast. Just a request: Can you guys try to bring a mic for everyone or headset mics for the TGS podcast(s). Your after-show podcast of Comic-con was very muffled and the volume was way low. Otherwise, it's always great to hear news of these events.

Also, stay sober (or at least coherent) this time.

Thanks!

Oh my god, Vinny, you just completley summarised flying in a nutshell. I HATE when that happens! Stupid long flights... Just imagine waking up when you still have 20+ hours left to go. I wanted to scream. LOUDLY.

I LOVE this podcast.... but for godsake! All you guys talk about is Guitar Hero and Rock Band! How is it possible you guys are able to find MORE things to talk about in these games? You've discussed ad nasea: the games, the "plastic instruments", the songs, the songpacks, etc... so many times, in almost EVERY past podcast, including this one. Theres more games out there, you know??

Again, I love the podcast, but JEEZ guys...
Hopefully next week when you guys are able to talk about Fallout 3, you'll be able to spend a lot of time on it.

Ditto on the iTunes issue.  Can someone get it up on that so it doesn't mess up my obsessive-compulsive podcast organization process?

No you gtfo, if Jeff isn't here then its just plain without the jelly...er yeah without the good thing only things that are not top-quality humour on the side.

I was great but, Snide is just Snide, and with the expectation of Brad and Vinny, its funny but doesn't have much potential to be even more crazy and humorous.

And please, leave the Jeff hatred remarks out of this site, if you don't like Gerstmann that much, that you GTFO or "just why the fuck are you here!", trying to screw with Jeff again like you did before, give the man a break, he is like the co-host to the host, and without the co-host, it will be only good.

GeekyDad: Are you thinking of the podcast at PAX with Rich and Alex?  They acknowledged the mic problems during that one, so I wouldn't worry about it.

Hey guys, I think the LotR RPG they were trying to remember was The Third Age, a forgettable and somewhat generic RPG that featured characters that were almost but not completely like the cast of the movies following the fellowship on their own lame quest.
You also talked about guitar hero too long, your summary could have been, "It's like Rock Band but harder"
Also, Jeff-less podcast = lame. Snide was ok though.

I love this podcast but I'm sick to death of hearing about Guitar Hero and Rock Band.  Come on guys - there must be other games you can talk about.

I agree. It's not like there's much to say about GH and Rockband, if you've played one game you pretty much know what to expect.

And to Ryan Davis, it's not Wipeout XL,  it's Wipeout 2097 =P and yes that is the best Wipeout game.

The authenticity of Brothers In Arms is largely based on the weapons, the tactics used, the missions, and mostly the locations. many of the maps are actually very accurate. you could visit some of the places in the game in real life it looks the same

@ArbitraryWater: Nope it was the LOTR game that never saw the light of day The White Council. The Third age was just something else that came out instead, but different companies and goals.
