Sadly I did not bump into John Oliver at the convention, that would have been funny. However, I did see a great number of recognisable faces both inside and outside the political sphere, one of whom you'll hear me mention in the next episode of RFN (a shameless--and probably entirely ineffective--tease there).

This trip was my fourth to the United States, and I've enjoyed myself there immensely on all four occasions, so yes ShyGuy it was predictably quite awesome. Hopefully it won't be too long before I can get out there again and catch a Bills game sometime (although I could also do that in Canada now, sigh).

Just picked up tickets for the game at the Georgia Dome this Sunday, so I'll be able to see Matt Ryan get injured and put out for the season live and in color.

I have a feeling that Roy Williams and Calvin Johnson are going to run WILD on those young Falcons cornerbacks.

But to make this a somewhat on-topic post, it's great to have Greg back.  NWR's favorite Chocobo farmer for sure.

Of course, even $30 is arbitrary...I might be getting screwed at that point too, but it doesn't feel like it because $30 has been the "magical" price point for portable games for a long, long time.

That's interesting. I was about to argue that $50 was a magical price point for console games, but maybe the rise of used game purchases has lowered the expected price that some gamers pay for games? Or maybe a rise in budget games and value-priced re-releases (Player's choice, for example) has also degraded consumer expectations in terms of prices?

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

$50 is the magical choice because metacritic says PC has the best games in the WORLD and the other systems don't have that many good games. ;)

I laugh every time I see that scene.  But no, I'm playing something else this week.  Also, I'm editing right now.

Full, badass, trailer.

Speaking of which, the Falcons surprised the crap out of me.

I bet Greg is happy, and I'm not talking about what the Bills did today.

BTW: I'm encoding the MP3 now and I've pretty much done all the pre-work for AAC.  It will be up in an hour or so.

After listening to Jonny and Nick talk about Indigo Prophecy, I can safely say that the game is not for me.

I'm the type of gamer who absolutely must do everything.  I feel the need to collect every coin and star bit in Mario Galaxy, even though they don't do much.  I can't not kill a zombie in Resident Evil (even when I know they're just going to come back as a Crimson Head later in the game).  When playing Phoenix Wright I have to see all the dialog options, even if it means loading up the same save file four times because I accidentally select the correct answer the first time.

I would lose sleep over this game.
Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

Hmm... Unlike Vudu above me, it sounds like a great game/movie. I know it has a replay value to it to try to choose diffrent paths, but as long as one way through last a good while (more then a hour) I sounds like fun! Kepp up the good work guys! (and gals)

P.S. What the h... what is with all of the sonic avitors? I have nothing againts sonic nor sega, but is this just a acident? Or are you guys feeding hipnotic sound waves through your podcast telling people to use sonic theme avitors... I know Jonny has the capibilities...

I will find out one way or the other...

The Mafia game in the Funhouse (Mockingbird Pies Server ITT) has a Sonic theme.
