As a side note, this episode was really, really fun to write. Access to press releases has really brought me some gems. Nuts of Destruction indeed.

[Terminus]

Almost writes itself...

I'd say that EA could maybe have done a little bit more work to convince its customers that Origin was ALL THAT and a box of After Eight mints...

[Yaxley]

All of the Dark Souls jokes would hurt my self esteem if I had any left after playing Dark Souls.

If Kathleen were to get an opinion segment, what would it be called?

[Terminus]

She's already got one. It's called Things My Cat Hates.

[Geoff_B]

"My cat hates being left out of the opinion segment on Checkpoint"

Although Graham kicking off was fun to see

[Tapir12]

Poor Kathleen! Revenge will be sweet I'm sure.

If Kathleen were to get an opinion segment, what would it be called?

I can only imagine it being something like "Kathleen's Opinion Segment (Which Is Totally Better Than Graham's Shitty One)," with the title thingy coming up being sharpie on cardboard. It would also be clear that the only reason she has it is because the producer fears for his... nuts of destruction.

I saw this a couple hours ago, so I may be fuzzy... but did you guys mention Remembrance Day... and not wear poppies? That's kind of disappointing.

[JackSlack]

It wasn't Remembrance Day yet though, was it?

You know what's really disappointing? Making sure to get some early especially for this purpose, and then not having them when we shoot.

We were pretty choked about that. But we couldn't reshoot another time.

[reptile]

Punching dragons.

Hey, what did dragons ever do to you? :(

I didn't notice the lack of poppies, but I'm not from a Commonwealth country. Are they typically worn only on Remembrance Day in Canada, or for a few days around it?

[Metcarfre]

Well, I appreciate the effort and that the thought was there, Graham.

Traditionally, at least in Canada, it is common to wear a poppy for a couple weeks before Remembrance Day - Nov. 1 seems to be the rough start date, though many choose to wear them earlier than that.

One thing that annoys me: stop calling Bad Company 2 "Battlefield 2". These are two different games.

I don't care about both of them, but it still annoys me.

[Graham]

That was actually a complete flub on my part, sorry. We were hoping that using the correct graphic would help smooth that over.
