Again I make the suggestion of saving all the phone calls for the end of the show. Even the good ones.

Surprisingly, I actually got through with the Skype call in thing (you can hear it at 58:40), I kinda had nothing prepared and made up the whole Bulletstorm question on the fly... Great show guys, and I hope you keep doing the call in questions!

It's good to hear someone from Ventura on the livestream. I live there also so it nice to know that i am not the only Whiskey Media fan in my town. Way to represent duder, you were one of the few who didn't make an ass out of themselves!

Ughh Alex is really anti-PC? Steam 1billion revenue. I know it was only an analyst group saying that. Clearly people are buying games on steam like crazy though.

I hate to say it, but unless you do something like have the caller call into Jeff off-camera or something during another segment, you're just asking to get trolled super-hard in weeks to come.

That would be a great idea. Slows the segments down a little too much. Also phone trolls make me sad :(

Man, that last segment was awesome! I was a little worried that live phone calls would be kind of risky.

Seriously, what was that guy doing in Ukraine. Did he say something about Google?

It was from the good old Gamespot days. They were talking on the podcast "Hotspot" about a strange press release about the game Haze for the PS3. You can listen to the segment on YouTube: link

I really enjoyed the ending to this week's Happy Hour. I recommend a less structured, taking some phone calls, segment for the end of future shows.

Clearly the Tested segment is predicting the next HAWKs game: H.A.W.X.K.s - High Altitude Warfighter Xbox Kinect.

Yes.
 
Just to say though, dont bring calls back, or if you must! less calls, obviously demand was way crazy this time, but yeah just less! that said, i enjoyed quite a few of the calls. Maybe 2 or 3 like OTS's very short run of calls.
 
I did enjoy the inside joke! wish Ryan didn't cut him off so hardly but what ya gonna do in that situation? also nice Young Ones referrence.
 
It's just one of those things where questions from the chat has the same function and utility, with less awkwardness, and it doesn't break up the flow either. Just sayin...
