Yeah amazing photoshop. Idea for a new one: Xav throwing a copy of madden 09 into/through a giant screen displaying Richard's head parodying that crazy apple super bowl commerical.

Xav needs to come up with his own photoshop job with a quickness. I haven't even played the game or listened to his argument but right now, I gotta go with Richard. Look at him. Dude's got the passion! It's infectious.

haha, yes you can dislike things in a game, but a NG2 isnt all that great argument is a silly one. ;)

Well, in fairness, he does say that it's a 'good' game. he doesn't out and out knock it.
But that's not as fun to write :)

"Well, in fairness, he does say that it's a 'good' game"
ohhhhh... there we go!
Ok, I will DL this now and listen, i am going to give mr. xav the benefit of the doubt and assume he has a good case to present.
Im not one to stick up for a game usually, but man, NG2 really is a good game IMO. I love when a game knows what it does and does that very well. I judge the game based on its combat obviously and how everything ties into that. In that regard I say it is the best at what it does on the 360.

Don't let these jerks get to you Xav, I'm just as disappointed at Italy's showing this year as you are. Though they still have a chance to get to the quarter finals if Netherlands beat Romania and they can pull off a win against France tomorrow.

Being a lovely european, Ive got my hands on the full CivRev game. Must say its awesome, never really give Civ on the PC a chance, but really like the simple interface, but very detailed game. Only issue, that people may not like is the fact the map size in the demo is the same as the full game.

Fellas,
Kudos on the Sessler Soapbox segment. As you can tell from my avatar, I'm African-American and I find it disgusting when I hear certain people acting that way. I played the BF:BC demo and within the first 3 minutes I heard racial and sexual slurs, by teenage boys no less. Dustin, I loved the 'My hand would break the sound barrier' comment. Hilarious man.
This behavior is not an exaggeration and I'm glad someone is standing up for it. I didn't report them as it was my 1st time ever on Gold but you bet I will learn how and do it EVERY TIME I hear it.
Anyway, good show. Keep it up. Any word on the Lost Odyssey contest?

Nice Fancast. It was kind of emotional at times.
Can we get Richard Elliot to make a photoshop of Dustin as Scarface with his head buried in a HUGE pile of coke? That would be a great addition to the facebook.
Oh, and what's with the Zune art? It's crap!
