  1. Thanks very much for including me as a contributor for this weeks podcast. Really makes a newbie to the forums feel loved and welcome.
    As for the name, Derrick was correct. I am a 30 year old male, WoW addicted (safer than crack), and a fan of gaming in general.
    The name was created playing Xwing Vs Tie Fighter back in ’97 as a play on “Bandit on your six”. Because I favoured the slow Tie Bomber, I was an easy target to get shot from the back.
    Disappointed to hear that the old developers seem to have disappeared back in 2002 (Aliens??) but it helped let me see that games an games companies that appear massive in UK often don’t get a look in across the pond. Same with music I guess.

For those of you good at math, you might notice that the TD Gaming Podcast is one episode away from a special number. While we have a surprise in store for loyal listeners, there’s still this week’s news to discuss. For starters, the classic Silent Hill 2 is the subject of the Gaming Flashback, even though none of the podcasters have gotten a chance to actually play it.

There’s also some interesting news to discuss, including:

  • Christian group accuses The Old Republic of “warping kids” with pro-gay message
