all right guys ill tell you a sad final fantasy story. i got once addicted to a game called final fantasy 12. The game takes a good 40 hrs to complete but me and a friend got competitive and attempt to over clock the game by getting maximum lvl, completing all sides and killing all the Marks in bounty hunter. ( these things take (100’s of hours). sound pretty sad yet well listen to this. I got up to vsing the last official Mark, the ultimate side boss of the game (100* harder then the final boss) the Mark is called Yiazmat he is a giant Dragon who is lvl 70 and has ….. 50,000,000 health which is a lot when the next highest I think is 3,000,000 and when you hit a max of 9,999 damage. Once he is under 30% health he goes mental converting to lvl 140. I ended up defeating this beast after 12-14hrs solid fighting Game play. So there you have it, a game I loved and played and never want to play again.
Cheers
Btw congratz Don

First off, massive congratulations to Don and his wife!
On to the Question of The Week:
There have been one or two games that I have played through because I felt I needed to. The first was Wolfenstein 3D. I enjoyed playing it for short periods of time, but I could not really comfortably play through the entire thing; so it took sheer will power to play all the way to the end.
The second was Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind; I’d played Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion beforehand, and felt obliged to play it’s predecessor through as well, but it did not have quite the same charm that Oblivion had. Not to mention being a damn sight uglier.

Now a question for you guys:
I know that you have a WoW Clan, but have you ever thought of starting up a FPS clan of some form? Seems like a logical progression to me.

Anyway, congratulations again to Don. Cheers, and peace.

P.S: I’m not sure about this… But did Jen refer to me as a ‘She’? Because… That’s not right

- the Wii joke: he’s asking for a gift
- Regarding 3D in platformers, having a 3rd dimension can actually add to the game:

That’s on Unreal Tournament 3!
- announcing earlier = hype = marketing
- regarding Android, Derrick, you’re spot on.
- Sony is launching SOS … I feel there’s a word missing there.

I’m now on March 2009. Yes, I am going back through your episodes.
