Spider-Man really let himself go. Nice job with the podcast this week, especially considering who was missing.

Mikel needs to drink that vodka every week! Anger and shouting abounds! I love it!

@CH3BURASHKA: It's funny you say that, because I actually think it looks like Chris.

Carolyn was a brilliant host!! I loved this episode, had me laughing constantly. It was really great to have a mix up in the cast and it definitely made this 'Dar feel fresher and different than recent podcasts. The bit when Carolyn said "holocaust" had me in fucking hysterics! That whole section was incredibly funny.

Am I the only one who thought Carolyn did a fantastic job with the soundboard? (and don't take that to mean we hate you Chris, you big baby) This was quite the great podcast despite the lack of Brett and Chris. Carolyn did a great job hosting.

Wow, I guessed it was Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 and I only played the PSN demo once 2 years age. I have good memory for game music.

No Chris or Brett? Guess I'll kill myself now. BTW, that Cap'n America guy totally looks like Brett. Earning a little on the side, are we?

The barbershop quartet singing of the Game Deals song brought happiness to my pants.

Good job on hosting, Carolyn. A somewhat different style of Tdar this week but it was still very enjoyable. Hope you can return again in the future.
