Episode 45 is here, folks. We've got quite a show in store for you, complete with guest host Alexander Sliwinski from Joystiq and a special appearance by our good friend Technical Difficulties. As always, we plow through our hardships in order to deliver you a (mostly) quality product. This week we talk about the whole Jeff Gerstmann / GameSpot issue, the Fall Update, Johnny Rotten, and so much more. We also take a look at some fanmail that's long overdue and we've even included a nifty Dustin / Yaris fanmix for everyone to enjoy. Download in your favorite flavor below. Oh, and stick around for the outtakes. We've got a lot of 'em, and they're all good.

Holy crap @ the after-show. That was some of the most hilarious stuff I've heard from the fancast. David's net needs to be wonky more often.

I'm listening now! *Play by play commences*
Awesome so far...Knuckles...LOVE your voice. ahahahahhahaha
I'm STOKED on the DivX functionality...Now I'll be able to watch my pirated movies on my 360! :D
I was ABOUT to play some trials last night because I had some free but short span of time, but then after remembering the functionality coming with the new update I'm holding off on those so they don't show up on my gamercard. :D
As for video marketplace in Canada, I really hope they get their act together soon. I want that shit NOW.
Alex...I agree with you, this issue is just DIRTY. Dirty like a crackwhore. But yea, this issue is kind of amusing and exciting...
Burnout Paradise box art tip courtesy of me! :D LOL
As for filling up the whole page with your own comments...I would so do it...lol
That remix was absolutely GOLD. ahahahhaha
I'll be buying the Halo 3 maps 4 days after they come out. The 15th, which is when I'm done my last exam.
I love game hype! :D w00t w00t! I think it helps games...
As for releasing games and them only focusing on big games...there really are TONS of amazing games...and these guys just DON'T HAVE the time to play ALL the games. That way they play the games they want to, and that we want to hear about... :D

Dustin, know that in Ep44 you mentioned being in the Chicago area. If you have time the next time you are down here we should have a fanboy get together.

I gotta say the whole Kane & Lynch thing is outta control. So, if Gamespot and the publisher think they can keep quite about this to keep things good they are stupid. Go look at the current review scores on that article. The game has an average review of 2.7 out of about 3,300 user reviews. People are obviously trashing the crap out of the game because of this stink pile. With people trashing the game like this, Gamespot and the publisher have drummed up 100x worse press for the game than Jeff could ever had done for it.
