      "Are You Slamming the Japanese Out of Nowhere?"

      Unfortunately, my uncompressed part of the podcast was lost - either by my accidentally deleting it or because of a crash, so there wasn't even a chance to splice all the voices together. The good news is, the group copy we have is decent. Be warned: there are two horrible splices at the beginning (one much more noticeable than the other) and the ending is a bit abrupt. Other than that, we did a better job this time on the technical side.

      On the menu:
      • Sloppy introductions
      • Pronunciations
      • The Japanese and their plastic desserts
      • Is your phone mocking you?
      • Why is Nintendo losing money?
      • Mzo's Stockholm syndrome
      • Gamers' and developers' investment in games
      • Metal Gear Solid retrospective - bathroom humor, convoluted storylines, the secret of super stealth walking, and "Nanomachines!"
      • The gamer's secret to immortality
      • Sonic Generations - "a little bubble of 'awesome' to 'suck'"
      • Arkham City DLC
      • 50% of us have played Kawaii Pet Megu

      • Voxatron and Stealth Bastard
      • The perils of context-sensitive controls
      • Blackwell Deception - from the makers of Gemini Rue
      • Pile of Shame - Half-Life 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Grand Theft Auto IV, and the Mass Effect series
      • The Saints Row: The Third Initiation Station
      • Options for good and evil in games

        I tried that Nick, no go. I listen to these to help me relax and fall asleep, but "The Mizzo" always SL1Ps in those sexual innuendos that are funny.I can download it from Itunes, 99 cents for a podcast that's over 2 hours is well worth the money.

        I was listening, but then refreshed it at the last 3 minutes, so the WHOLE THING has to load again for me to listen to those last 3 minutes. Maybe when I get home.

        There are no achievements for it, or threads to bump for it.

        Not interested in that, only the podcast.
