      Yes, we’re aware there’s a 20 gap of dead air at the beginning of the show. If you’re willing to ignore it, so are we… ;)

      I use Zune Marketplace and it works fine. Make sure the program didn’t unsub you. That happens once in a while.

      Another great episode guys!

      This is…for some reason…one of my favorite ones.

      I dont know if it was the Halo3 tear…Home rant…Doc’s wife….or the chocolate martini…it was fantastic. Keep up the good work.

      So much ribbing in this episode I’m surprised that your chests haven’t collapsed into your stomachs. I’ve listened to it twice already and it’s 9 o’clock in the morning here in Englandland.

      I’m so lonely.

      the only thing that could make this podcast better is if you had a video one. Ya’ know, like Retronauts bonus stage. Like a video hump-day update. Otherwise, best podcast since…….. well, the last one :-).

      i gotta defend doc when he said that Halo 3 broke ground with the theater and Forge. It did! Also, Lono, all of those features are for the enormos Halo community as well as regular players. thats why they included it, because they knew it would be perfect for the community. But yes it does not deserve any awards that it got. Oh, and Lono, are you getting your sleep yet? it does not seem like it.

      Great episode by the way. :)
