I sold MW2 after getting BFBC2. BFBC2 just gives me a lot more enjoyment. The typical Dice launch problems has pretty much been fixed so now is the time to get it.
I’m on a Mac, and my Windows desktop is not hooked up. But I have quite a few Steam games and once that comes out for Mac later this month I will be playing a good amount of games, but most likely a lot of TF2.

There it is! Been waiting for it.
Fantastic SE podcast. Brad was win.
I like it and I’m letting you know! Do it again in the not too distant future!
Thanks for the double dose of podcasts this week. I really like the special podcast idea.
Two times the podcast FTW!
I like the bonus show, not really interested in the content (besides the talk of new consoles) but more bite-sized segments like this would be awesome!
Let me be the first to say it: WHAT, NO ANA? Now that’s out of the way, I was thinking about upgrading an old desktop as a gaming rig, but, as mentioned on the podcast, I can’t think of that must-have title worth spending hundreds of dollars to upgrade. Other than MMOs and strategy games, there’s not really anything out there that’s not already on consoles. I’ll blame Microsoft somehow. And lobbyists in Congress. I blame Microsoft lobbyists in Congress.
Is it just me, or does anyone else find the “S”s very sharp in this edition?
Also, mini podcast as nice, but I wouldn’t want to see it compromise the length of the main podcast.
Since you asked… loved it. More hardcore full-on hardware stuff please.
Yes, please do this for the 6900 cards as well.
I don’t understand why people would want a Twitter feed scrolling while they’re watching a TV show. I don’t want anything like that. I’m trying to watch a show and be immersed in it, not be drawn out of the experience to read “OMG! THAT WAS INTENSE” from someone.
Also, I’m with Norm that millions of people still watch TV at the same time. I think you need to remember that the way you guys consume content isn’t similar to the average person.
Awesome podcast. Plus now I know why my GeForce 4 MX was such a piece of shit – good thing I learned how to research that stuff soon after.
And yes, I certainly am in the pile of people that want more of these little explanatory bonus podcasts.
great talk , you should try to do this for major hardware launches like this , if you have the time.
