'nother great show!
Short show this week but it's okay.
:)
Us Canadians LOVE our wild mushrooms ;)
Either the shows up early or I'm up late.
Or both! ;o)
did u announce who won the hdvd contest im trying to find that part
I was hoping for a nice long interesting one, maybe a recap of Halo 3 beta goodness to commemorate its last day.
Not a short one about Pacman....
Now I have to go on a 3 hour trip with a 45 minute podcast with news about a subject I don't care about..
Major where or how do you get your movied to your zune. Do you download the movies from a website, or do you use your exsiting DVDs and some how encode them in to WMV. please help i can never find any good free ways to get movies and/or any good videos on my zune
Okay, if this turns to another Pac-hate Fest I swear I'll find you all and give you a computer virus...show some frickin' respect for those who made video games possible. My GOD, man.
WTF?!?!? the sopranos has taken the prize with the worst series finale EVER!
Pac-Man CE is good stuff. I was planning on blowing it off, but then I played the demo. It gets as fast and crazy as Geometry Wars. Same feeling, you can get into a flow/groove like GW... Made the purchase this morning.
good show Maj,just a bit short of what I prefer,it was only like 40 min,too short IMO,but otherwise great show! When are we going to hear a winner on the Xbox Dad of the year?

Major Nelson,
Months ago for several weeks, you promised an interview and updates on Xbox Live Marketplace pricing. This was a result due to the ridiculous DLC price for Guitar Hero 2 tracks.
Everyone touted that GH2 would have more tracks than any other game. There has been nothing for months now.
No interview. No new DLC.
Come on Larry. Do something about this. Your name was mud on all of the fanzine sites after you made those stupid comments (which you claim were taken out of context) in regards to the pricing.
Can't you get something to appease that community that thinks that GH2 as a whole is a joke, and now DLC pricing is a joke?
Just an interview explaining where the costs come from. You thought it was a good idea, you said you were going to make it happen. Instead you've moved on to the game of the week to pimp, or trying to perform CPR on the HD DVD or Zune, both dead technologies.
* * * * *
To be completely honest, Pac-Man has gone too far. What happened to Xbox 360 games, not old school arcade games?
Not to sound like a jerk but I can think of many other things to talk about rather than Pac-Man!! I agree with #9. The Halo 3 Beta has ended and no one is talking about it. So let me, I got a chance to play 180 games which I can't wait to own the final version. Everything seemed to be put together GREAT and really only had some problems with looking for a match on a couple of times!! One of the BEST Beta's I have EVER PLAYED!!!!!!!!
P.S. It would have been more but my system Red Ringed on me!! Boy was I pissed!!!
Mr Boomstick XL is my first victim...anyone else wanna badmouth Pac-man then you too will get the red rings of death!
This show felt a little rushed lol. I personally prefer the longer 1:30hr ones, but alas, it was a good overall show.
Question about Shadowrun : You guessed it! Why no single player campaign?
Question about Tenchu : What type of customization options can we expect with the create a ninja mode? Please say its more than what the demo gave us. Later!
Thanks for another awesome show, Major. I'll be sure to listen tomorrow. :D
TY for the show Major! We need the loonng shows back tho! Just ignore the small groups of people who said your show was too long before and bring back the long-*** ones! lol =)
Iwatini = Legend. The only complaint I have with Pac Man is that I think the price point is a bit high, but that's true of MOST of the $10 games, frankly. As it stands, Iwatini manages to make a 25+ year old game feel fresh, and that's no small feat. WakkaWakkaWakka!
Shadowrun Question:Are they gonna fix some of the bugs with joining parties and not being able to hear the other people in the party and also why does it take so long to join matches?
Larry...what are your thoughts on the Soprano's finale?
Just a comment on the commute time. Here in NYC, the commute time is 45 mins to 1 hour on average for most people coming into the city from Queens or Long Island. For Connecticut its about 1.5 hours. I personally prefer the longer podcasts.
Thanks again for putting together another show Larry! By the way, does anyone now where I can download EVERY single pod cast of Major Nelson Radio? Welp, take care people, cyas/
