Nice, Hump Day Update. Wonder what genre Doc will play instead of FPS.

I think he's gonna give TPR's ( third person roller ) a chance :p.

Best Hump-day Update so far, which isn't saying much, but whatever.

I can't believe how serious you guys all were in this semi-episode. Only when the predictions came along, you were acting 'normal'. But the rest, just wow. Even Lono had like only one outburst... Were you guys on Prozac or something?

And I really hope Doc's prediction comes true :D...

The Xbox Live problem is way past ridiculous.
I've been having connection problems for 2 weeks, but it's hard to figure out is it me or Live.
Comcast came out last Sat. and told me my connection was fine - then charged me $75 because it was not their equipment that was bad.

I think I may try a new router anyways. This Linksys ticks me off regularly.

cool update show guys :)

And yes xbox live problems are still going on i was playing online today on worms and got kicked off twice then it wouldn't connect at all for about half an hour so microsoft still have some work ahead to sort live out.

It seems like the LIVE problems may be extended to Windows Live Hotmail, Windows Live Messenger and Xbox.com.
Any one else having problems with those too?

I've definitely noticed the Live problems now, more than I did during the holidays (which isn't saying much because they hardly affected me at all around Christmas). It's not huge; just a few things here and there seem to work slower than usual. But oh well. At least I can get into games.

Doc's prediction would make a good story for Paul Christy for the Monday show. ;)

Also, Doc: if you try to give up shooters it will be like New Years resolutions -- you follow them for a day and then say "screw it" and things are back to normal.

Devil May Cry 4 was set on super easy for the demo to lure in a new fanbase and the enemies in the beginning are meant to made up of random rubbish. It was a great podcast though

Nice show guys.
Especially Lono. Something will happen sometime to Someone

Lono might be eaten by a Dinosaur.

I'm gonna try the turok demo anyways...

great podcast guys. enough to get me through till next moday...

thanks soooo much for this new addition to the podcasts, waiting a whole week to hear game news made funny from you guys is horrible, so having twice a week at the start and middle has been amazing :D tis truely the highlight of my week! As i can just sit in bed and listen to the podcast, so awesome. Cheers again for a great episode!

my hump day prediction is that doc wont keep to his rest from fps's :P

My arms are to small.
