Sweet.
Cool, thanks major!
Thanks major GO EAST NBA ALLSTAR GAME
Nice, sounds like an interesting episode.
or not
Sounds cool, Major! D/Ling now!
I cant wait for this game! I love the cell shading graphics and the whole idea of the game.
Awesome, Major. I'll listen to it tonight. :D
lol not quite Twilight just a slight late.
You should put your podcasts on the Marketplace.
This is awesome. I was just looking at every piece of Crackdown media I could find and here I see a special suprise from Mr. Hyrb
Cool, and I also can't wait for Crackdown!!
Yes. Another hour and 40min that will not be wasted while playing some Oblivion.
I wasn't too impressed by the overall reviews for Crackdown. But still I enjoyed the demo, so I will get the game.
Thanks for the show, just in time for me to download and play whilst on the bus to work.
This is great! I have tomorrow off just to listen to Major's netblogpodcast =D
1hour and a half awesome.
Very good episode Larry; you and Bear actually had me laughing out loud several times ;-)
Great ideas Bear; I love the idea of focusing on the Community. Being able to have RSS feeds for content and be able to define how specific that is would be amazing.
Being able to review content ala Amazon.com would also be a fantastic feature. You could probably also do some interesting things with reviews that are deemed helpful.
Friends downloads, etc; also good stuff that I would love to see. It would be an interesting feature to mark a download as a favourite, and allow friends to browse a list of their friend's favourite downloads.
I'd love to see a calender for releases as well, and the option to leave memos and set the dashboard to autodownload what you want.
For instance, I could download demo X or trailer Y the second it goes Live, and also have the dashboard leave me a memo when a new piece of content for that game comes out, the dashboard would send my gamertag a message.
Anyway, the entire concept of allowing users to filter content, link to it, review it, and so on on their terms is a fantastic one, and I hope to see various features that allow that implemented in future updates.
like we need more info on Crackdown...
Great show Major! Even though my Xbox 360 died back in January, I'm still picking up Crackdown on Tuesday so I'm ready when I get my 360 back. I guess I'll be reading the manual many times over lol.
FYI...just got the call that my local EB/ Gamestop is releasing Crackdown at midnight tomorrow (Monday/ Presidents Day)...what a nice suprise, as I was expecting it on shelves Wednesday.
Nice Show. I got my crackdown copy for a week. But my xbox burned down. :P Life Suxx :) And I`m liwing in europe :P
yea you should put your podcast on the marketplace. and it should say "listening to major nelson or downloading major's podcast", when someone views your profile. i do remember you said that theres no way to put just audio on the marketplace. next update maybe?
Would it be possible to have one site dedicated to what is posted when on XBL? Don't need anything complex, just a flat file that states item, type of item, and date. Would also be nice to view themes and pics as soon as they are posted to see if we want to download them. yes, there is an xbox.com site that shows pics/themes but new stuff isn't posted until at least a few days after the fact.
Great podcast! It's actually your first i've heard! I'll be a future listener!
