Looking back on it now, how would LRR be different if Kathleen didn't lose a job over a tweet?

Much respect, especially when other podcasts tend to make the excuse that podcasts are "expensive to make" and therefore require sponsors.. Recording people talking doesn't exactly cost that much, especially with the amount of technology we have for it these days! I feel like you don't re...

Glad to see the LRRCast return, especially since I lack a quality podcast that is released on weekends. I think James' Wizard Chat or James's Wizard Advice Chat is an alright name for the magic podcast even if I won't be listening to it. Also, I think Matt should do a Mattcast on the fifth week.

I think Kathleen should play a better game than LBP (not that LBP is bad, it's just the same thing over and over again). I highly recommend Valkyria Chronicles, but I realize she is probably saving money for a replacement laptop. I still think she should play VC at some point though, since it's the ...

Lol @ the Robert Ashley reference.

Dude, that's what happens to the flowers as you progress with the story. Think about what happens to the 4th and 5th flowers. Then compare it to the 6th flower. The flowers still get more perky the more hidden flowers you find. The level 5 flower looks depressed no matter what, but it's still more ...

So far Flower is my Game of the Year. That will probably change after Uncharted 2. It has been a good year so far for new games but I always go back to Flower. It is great for playing in 5 or 10 minute increments. That, and you can finish it in no time at all. I beat it 4 times the day I bought it. ...

Uncharted got a 21/20 from a magazine in France. Epic to say the least.

I realize its just about an offer and nothing more. I'm just saying anyone taking the offer isn't thinking logically because it isn't a good offer.

Right, because humans think in terms of value and money. This hypothetical person with a PS3 could trade it to Sable for a slim, but he's more likely to sell it for more than what a slim is worth, because the economics says that his PS3 has more value than a slim PS3. Therefore he would find a buyer...

That doesn't change the economics of the situation. There are (essentially) infinite customers with infinite PS3 slims and a limited number of PS3s with PS2 features. Therefore the PS2 feature PS3 is scarce and more valuable. The user giving up this added value would be giving up something for nothi...

Well maybe this hypothetical person paid for the features of a PS2, whether or not they use the feature is irrelevant. They have the scarce product, and therefore more valuable product. Its basic Supply and Demand. Also, it is possible that they don't use the PS2 feature, but do use the install othe...

Thoughts? I will literally buy someone a PS3 Slim if they will give me their 60GB backwards-compatible version. I'm okay with the new price, still not okay with the no-BC. :( Why would anyone give you a $600 machine in exchange for a $300 one? That's a bit retarded. I'm considering buying a second ...

How is that the better deal?

It's not that much, and hasn't been that much for a long time. You can get a new one for $399US. You also don't have to pay $60 a year to play online.

inFamous is better than Prototype based on pretty much every site that reviewed both (even Yahtzee's tiebreaker was won by inFamous). Valkyria Chronicles is so good I have 2 copies and bought all the DLC. I'm also a Warhawk fanboy, as I have enough hours to compare it to a high level WoW player. Try...

@Matt: I remember hearing that one of the lead development guys really did not like Vaan and wanted Ashe to be the character the players play as. Regardless I haven't played the game either, partly due to lack of Nobuo writing the music and partly due to Vaan. Also, from what I saw of the ending, i...

The DotA type game Jer was thinking of was probably League of Legends.

Edit as I'm listening: Matt clearly hasn't finished FFXII as it is Bashe's story, not Balthier's.

Because its profitable.

I find he controls ass backwards and the game has too many glitches. I'd expect less glitches in a beta. The more I play it, the more I want to play other games. Specifically Warhawk and Killzone.

The 404 needs to be put up on the runners site as a wallpaper download. Also, in Opera 10 clicking on the 404 just reloads the 404.

I wouldn't use that avatar if I were you. He has ultimate power you know... we wouldn't want another Avatar-ocalypse™. Another? I must hear of this first Avatar-ocalypse: it sounds to be made of awesomecakes and win. At one point all the crew switched avatars with each other. I think it was around ...

I think Tim would enjoy these 2 starcraft videos.

Andy and Brad in the same video? Could it get any better? Excellent video, great writing, great acting. But now I'm confused. Canada Day is on Wednesday, so I would have assumed that this being the closest Monday, today would be the Canada Day video. Next Monday will be cH, so unless you put it in ...

Tim finally did an OK comic.
