She looks alot to me like music artist Peaches:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;and acts like Sandra Bernhard:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But yeah I agree with the guy posting up above that it would be nice to see Major Nelson do a Video Podcast. It is really easy to do a video podcast, if major nelson did one here is what I would suggest he did.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1.An intro video doing a Fast Forward effect of the Xbox office with some Glaussian Blurs, also put in video clips of past intros and &amp;quot;emotional moments&amp;quot; still frames (easy to do), and then overlap the video and blur one video into the other and then focus the camera on major at his desk (podcast hosting location).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2.The have guests open the door (transitional video effects used), come and sit down (use titling name and position) interview.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3.Then also when your talking about either A.A website B.A product C.A Game D.A past interview E.A Xbox Team Member, you put either a video clip or a bunch of stills over you talking and then fade back in when your done talking about the subject.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4.For name the game you show like a 3 second blurry video clip with some audio or a ? mark and some audio and then when you reveal the Name the Game of the previous week you play the same clip with full video and audio.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;5.You read and show pictures people emailed you of their Xbox setups, or issues with questions, like bla bla Viva Pinata how do I get this? and then you get the person in charge of the game to answer them via video or a photo with phone audio.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;6.You number the shows in the intro, and you tease in the ending sometimes for what might be coming the next week.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;7.The ending credits are a bunch of still shots that fly away and at the end (after like 2 minutes of credits), you have like your outtakes instead of that secret message thing you always do in the audio version.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyways that should pretty much describe how exactly you do your podcast, I use Sony Vegas for my Video Podcast it is really easy to do. You should probably encode a .wmv version and a .mp4 version (the one you use in iTunes).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.majornelson.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=190262" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Crackdown Demo hits next Tuesday</title><link>http://www.majornelson.com/archive/2007/01/19/crackdown-demo-hits-next-tuesday.aspx#190260</link><pubDate>Sun, 21 Jan 2007 00:55:41 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">055c7c12-9f8e-4800-85f1-aebaf66ea7d8:190260</guid><dc:creator>II JJ II</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I like that link that tells you what time it everywhere else in the world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.majornelson.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=190260" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Crackdown Demo hits next Tuesday</title><link>http://www.majornelson.com/archive/2007/01/19/crackdown-demo-hits-next-tuesday.aspx#190257</link><pubDate>Sun, 21 Jan 2007 00:06:12 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">055c7c12-9f8e-4800-85f1-aebaf66ea7d8:190257</guid><dc:creator>xxinfurnoxx</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;nice i hope the game is worth the buy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.majornelson.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=190257" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Crackdown Demo hits next Tuesday</title><link>http://www.majornelson.com/archive/2007/01/19/crackdown-demo-hits-next-tuesday.aspx#190256</link><pubDate>Sat, 20 Jan 2007 23:57:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">055c7c12-9f8e-4800-85f1-aebaf66ea7d8:190256</guid><dc:creator>PocketSpunion</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;0200 PT (Pacific time) not points.

&lt;p&gt;We have to pay 200 points even if we are gold members for a demo!! Thats bs.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You're right, it is bs. I don't even know where you got that from.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sounds awesome, but sadly I'll be back at university by then where I live without Live. So, I might have to wait a couple of weeks anyway. Annoying yes, but nevermind. I'm sure Dead or Alive Xtreme 2-... I mean... FEAR, must be cheap now. Worth a play...through... *Runs*&lt;/p&gt;
