    I don't think any of you understand how massive my bone is for this new 2 1/2 long Tdar. It's.. it could feed and/or kill an African village.

    Another week that I'm so very thankful that all of you took so much of your time to do this podcast. Truly on of the highlights of my week, every week. So yet again, thank you all so very, very much.

    Id have to say, cartoon Chris looks like the creepy guy that used to hang out behind my public school, drinking all day in his dodge caravan.

    Sooooo many good sections with this podcast I had to listen to it twice to remember what I wanted to talk about lol. First off, Talkradar and me are like a Reese's, just meant for each other. MW2 is a great game so I don't want to read about it, I want to play it first, (I'll be back). Instant Tit Kill, awesome. I love the you guys had a really long ask a games journalist, try to keep it at a minimum this time and then you guys all go long, lol love it. Also liked the ESRB part, bunch of pansies.:P Oh and with the infamous MW2 level, I shot the hell out of that airport bookstore because I've always wanted to do that subconsciously lol.

    Double post, but fuck it - I'm listening to the podcast as I comment. I've gotta say, the 'ask a games journalist' is my new favorite portion of the cast. While I do enjoy the top 7 and all the funny stuff in between, hearing the four of you borderline wax philosophic (I kid) is easily the most entertaining portion - and it hurts me to hear the discussion about skipping it entirely. Keep it up!!

    Talkrdar clearly needs a contest where the all the grand prize winner needs to do is correctly submit his/her contact information.
