Can't download episodes no more for some reason, it tries to connect to media.libsyn.com, but fails. I got Humpday Update: 3-12-08, but since then all episodes have come undownloadable, even older ones. Same goes to iTunes, shows episodes but can't download them.

I'm from Finland Europe.

Hey bud... can you (or anyone else from Finland) run a trace route to media.libsyn.com and to sarcasticgamer.libsyn.com?

Email me the results so that I can email them to libsyn (no need to post them here.

thanks.

Lono,

I wouldnt reccomend going out on a hunt for a Wii, since NO CONSOLE is worth that. But if you stumble on it, I reccomend picking it up.... as well as a gamecube Wavebird, a gamecube memory card, a classic controller, and a 3rd party charger. (Nintendo doesnt make one yet, but damn does this thing eat batteries if you let it.) This will basically mean you can play anything on it however you like to (multiple controller type support seems to be a thing with a few titles now). I also recomend MP3 offhand... set the controls to the most advanced and kiss yous analogs goodbye for good!

Man...if I had some more money (or an actual company...soon, though) I'd sponsor you guys. Congrats, Volkov.

As someone who has gone on the hunt for a Wii, I've got to tell you that I think it's worth it. I called my local store that carries them every morning until they got a new shipment. There are several games that, while not graphically amazing, have really good gameplay. To boot, not all of them have Mario. As soon as you can, I'd pick up a Wii. If I were able to sponsor you guys, that's where the money would go...;)

Great update show guys.

I'm going to buy Pixel Junk Monsters, it sounds like a cool game and it's only £3.49.

The last psn game i bought was Super Stardust hd and that is awesome.

I don't think anything that can have the title of "Hump Day Update" can be referred to as a Children's Show :P

Awesome show guys!

EDIT: Wow, the best Bacon Salt package ever! (http://baconsalt.3dcartstores.com/Bacon-Salt-Year-of-the-Pig-Package_p_1-16.html)

i didn't.... :P

My Wii hunt is that every 2/3 weeks I go into work and we have Wiis all of the sudden for about half an hour. I seriously almost killed myself when it was getting near Christmas. Every 30 seconds someone would call in looking for a Wii xD

Wonder why Nintendo thinks that Americans don't need/want Wiis?
Here in Finland there are plenty of Wiis in stores, they even sell them on discount.

Here is two pages of one of Finnish price tracker sites:

Some stores sell them even way more cheaper.

Very Good update. keep the humpday updates up...

On another topic...
I just read a very interesting 1 star review from someone on iTunes about your podcast...


This review was simply called C**p. I have bleeped the swear word.

"Bunch of unknowledgable 360 fanbois and this coming from a 360 only console owner."

I wrote it exactly as it is spelt. That was from Daktorin...

Me, like pretty much everyone else, gave 5 stars. Very strange reason. Your podcast is one of the best on iTunes. Well done.

Again, great humpday update. Love the intro music...

EDIT: I can't help but crack up at the one and two star reviews. They. Are. Ridiculous.

Other examples:

Headline: Unfunny, Racist and homophobic. (Headline makes NO sense.)
"You know those jerks who ruin an online game on Xbox 360 with their inane, boring c**p? Well they have their own podcast and this is it."

Headline: Ditch the "News Flashes"
"They're not funny. At all."

I find the first EDIT one hilarious. Unfunny, Racist and homophobic. Very funny...
