I find your lack of Science disturbing. No really, the drowsiness you experience after a meal is due to the meal itself, plus the alcohol, not the turkey. Yes, the Turkey does have a higher level of Tryptophan it won't really effect you.

But I still look forward to listening to the show :lol:

I won't bash Eidos because there's a chance they'll make another Hitman game.

But when that's done, I can finally say that they're idiots.
But not now.

If you want a small fast recording program, download RecordPad, I believe is the best, stand alone voice recorder.

Hay Lono, I got to play the Street Fighter 2 HD Remix Beta and it that game it got online versus and local versus but you can't play the arcade game and you can only pick Ryu and Ken only.

I just find it strange that they didn't do that instead for the demo.

Great show guys, We won't be getting Nico DLC for GTA4 because a while back the guy who did Nico's voice wanted more money after the game came out, I don't really remember a lot of what happened but it left a bad taste in Rockstars mouth so any DLC we get won't be featuring Nico...I don't think, I could be wrong but I don't care. Are we going to be able to download the new parody on it's own?

Amazingly enough, Lono is not so bad on Twitter and you get a lot of clues as to what is going to happen later in the week and next year.

Also, I got to read about 40 updates of Doc being really bored on his drive back to Huston.

Great show!

Lano, don't let them shut you down. I listen to a lot of podcast and it seems like all of them are Obama worshipers. It has become cool to bash Republicans. The bashing does not bother me, its the fact that no one has the guts to mention anything negative about the dems in fear of what people might say about them. I was begining to think I was the only one that even played games. Its nice to hear someone that thinks like I do and is not afraid to speak his mind. KEEP IT UP!!

The problem is (whilst myself have no problem with it) that no one listens to this podcast for politics. They come here for gaming, and if the hosts' political views are being pushed upon the listener, or some people are getting bashed (i.e. Democrats), then the bashed portion of the audience will either complain, stop listening, or both.

Great show guys, as always, you need to create seperate uploads for the 12 days of lono, and new parody songs though so I can delete the entire podcasts they were aired in and just have the song in my iTunes list, like all the previous ones. Keep up the good work.

Another great episode. Kind of funny how Eidos tries to bully sites. I used to like them for making Deus Ex but it seems lately their game quality hasn't been what it used to be.

I guess I have to find another proxy site at school so I can try get on the site on Thursday.

I would agree that no one listens for political views but they do listen to hear them talk sh*t to one another like friends do. They venture off topic quite often and no one seems to mind. that is one of the things that makes it so fun to listen to. I don't want it to be a main topic of discussion or anything but if the topic comes up don't avoid it simply because some people are too insecure to hear someone put forth an opinion they disagree with.

I've never gotten the sense from the guys that they are bashing Dems. I know Lono's A RePUBIClican but it's never really tainted the show for me. He and I have gotten into arguments in forums before, but I certainly wouldn't say that my disagreements with him over politics would keep me from listening to the show.

Were you downloading something from the PSN while you were installing?

Then, honestly, why do a whole video just to attempt to prove me wrong? Surely you have better things to do with your time.

Nope, wasn't dling anything. I wasn't timing it either.

Well, 2 reasons really.

1st, to prove that I wasn't "faking it" etc (and, I had to install it anyway, since I plan on playing Socom on that PS3)

2nd, Because you co-host a Podcast that people go to for information among other things. When you are so blatant in your exaggerations, people may still think that you are giving them the correct info if they haven't had the same experience with Game X yet, which you weren't. I understand that you guys are supposed to be "sarcastic," but sarcasm is usually bit more "over-the-top."

Also, what I showed wasn't an "Attempt" to prove that you were wrong, it showed that you were wrong. You're on a closed platform in terms of hardware and software, so the install time should, in theory, be very similar on all models of the console. If you were downloading something from the 'net, I could see it taking somewhat longer as the hard drive would have double the work.

Believe it or not, I'd do the same on any other platform.

I didn't exaggerate anything. It took me almost 45 minutes to install it and another 15 to do the update. I checked the install every few minutes, so, eh, whatev. Time to call mythbusters, or someone that cares, for that matter...

Christ, even if i'm wrong and you're right, almost 13 minutes to install anything on the ps3, not named Metal Gear Solid 4, is just ridiculous.

But I know you've always been railing on how corrupt Illinois politics (especially Chicago Politics) is. And now you've got proof on every main page of every paper across the country.

watch out for Rahm Emanuel, Obama's chief of staff... He's gonna go down. Obama is gonna make him the fall guy, you watch. Emanuel, Blago and all the other Dems in Illinois have been playin grab ass for years. I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that Emanuel and Blago had some conversations on tape that won't look so good for Obama.

That's why you haven't seen Rahm around Bama lately...

Hmmm. That'd be a pretty big shake-up. However, I had heard rumors that it was Rahm who tipped investigators off to what Rod was doing. God, I hope we've got the good guys in office this time. I still believe we do, but all this junk with RB makes me nervous.
