Shredding scenery is ace. Shooting things is ace. But what about the rest?

Above: And here's Brett's desk now. *sniff* Sorry, must be more action figure dust

Above: And then we partied hard on a Thursday night, something that made working on Friday very easy. We did it all for Brett

I DON'T WANT TO LISTEN AT THE RISK OF CRYING AND GETTING DIARREA AND A MIGRANE. DON'T GO GODAMMIT. I'M HAVING A BREAKDOWN.

This is kind of a dorky thing to say, I guess, but, through the years that I've listened to you guys, I've really identified with who you are, and what you like, so, in a way, I kind of think of you as friends of mine, so, it's really sad to see one of you go. It kind of feels like a friend of mine is leaving. It must be tough for you guys at Radar, but I know you'll keep pushing onward and kicking ass, as always. Please do. And Chris, we love you too, don't you dare leave GR, too. We'll miss you, a lot, Brett. Thanks for everything. I've learnt a lot from you, Have fun at CAPCOM and DON'T BE A STRANGER TO THE PODCAST. Hugs all the way from sunny México.

Brett, it was great to finally meet you at PAX Prime! I'm sorry we got booted from GameWorks VIP section, I wanted to say goodbye to you in person. That said, A) best of luck to you at CAPCOM, and B) thank you for all the tremendous laughs, Midwest stories, and just all-around awesomesauce that you gave to all of us in the TDar podcasts. Your laugh alone is worth listening for. :) The podcasts have gotten me through some fairly crummy temp jobs, and lots of lawn-mowing. Also, your and Antista's anecdotes, stories, ramblings, and pop-culture references have single-handedly validated my entire 80's youth. Thanks for all you've done w/your amazing articles and passion, too. You're a great writer, and I'll miss you dearly, as will we all. Peace, brotha!

I actually like the 1 podcast perweek format it gives me time to listen to the latest podcasts, yours and OXM's. Then when I'm done those I can listen to the older casts. LOVE IT EITHER WAY THO

I just want to know, in what way was the two episodes a week a "failed experiment"? Personally, I've been loving it. We've been getting more podcast per week. And getting my fix twice a week means less withdrawal. It's too bad. Not sure why you're abandoning it.

That PC Gamer traitor was great in this episode, especially his impression of Brett's first day at Capcom.

The pageant skit was great, please do more. Also, sh*tshoes. That was the hardest I've laughed during a talkradar episode in quite some time.

I liked two podcasts a week, I'd listen to a new Tdar everyday if you could do that.
