First note: *jumps out of the 3rd person for a sec* Any issues with the audio for this week are solely MY fault. We use 3 separate tracks usually. My track, is recorded in stereo and on one track it's just me and the other is Jason and Geoff so we could use it as 1) a guide and 2) a back up. Well, I got a new computer and got all my stuff downloaded. Then I forgot to change the options since I had just downloaded the program and my track ended up being all 3 of us in Mono on 1 track. So Jason was forced to work with just that audio. Sorry guys. *Back in the 3rd person* The Canadian is back and he tells us what his vacation was all aboot! Some entertaining stories there. So with all three of us on the show again... things are back to "normal." Distractions for the week. Geoff talks a bit about Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. Then on to News. Some interesting stuff this week. Then we take a break with a brand new "commercial" made by the very talented Jason "unastrike" Oestreicher! Then we get into the feature. Microtransactions. Quite a bit of discussion on this one.

We talk a bit more about Crisis Core and LostOdyssey. For some reason, Chris started playing Conan... wait ... what? Yes, Conan.

Also, we used a different method of editing this time around. Takes longer, but it should sound better. This week, Jason has to vent about his problems with Lost Odyssey! We talk about our distractions this week. Then on to lots of news. Most of our listeners probably think that Dear X is something that's reserved for ranting... well that wasn't the original intent... Jason has a touching Dear X for us. Our first "rave" Dear X. And it came at the perfect time. All three of us picked up God of War and felt it was worth a round table. So we discuss that... don't worry... without spoilers. Then it's on to the confession booth. We got some GREAT emails from our listeners including one very ballsy voice mail.
