  1. Hey guys, I’ve listened to your podcast since episode 75, and I must say, it’s hard to believe your website isn’t as popular as most gaming podcast sites. I’ve wanted to ask you your thoughts on this holiday line up of games, and if it is enough to convince you to buy a console just for that one game. Thanks guys!

  2. The main reason our site probably isn’t that popular yet is because it’s been in existence for about a month 🙂 TechDiversions.com wasn’t big enough to hold the community we want to build here so we recently expanded it to gamingpodcast.net.

    In the coming weeks I’ll be setting up a forum for everyone to chat on, run contests for prizes and other community based things, so stay tuned for that!

    To answer your holiday lineup question…well, that will be in the next episode 🙂
