{ Dec 3rd 2007 at 6:45PM }
Episode 45 is here, folks. We've got quite a show in store for you, complete with guest host Alexander Sliwinski from Joystiq and a special appearance by our good friend Technical Difficulties. As always, we plow through our hardships in order to deliver you a (mostly) quality product. This week we talk about the whole Jeff Gerstmann / GameSpot issue, the Fall Update, Johnny Rotten, and so much more. We also take a look at some fanmail that's long overdue and we've even included a nifty Dustin / Yaris fanmix for everyone to enjoy. Download in your favorite flavor below. Oh, and stick around for the outtakes. We've got a lot of 'em, and they're all good.

I officially blame DjDATZ for all of our Spam Email woes.

One of the best episodes so far. The end was the best.
OBM @ Dec 3rd 2007 10:24PM
I agree, the portal imitation at the end was funny
DjChad @ Dec 4th 2007 12:18PM
Wow I'm in tears... Best out-takes ever guys.
LTAcosta @ Dec 3rd 2007 10:49PM
When is this going to be on zune podcasts?
Neoxkc @ Dec 3rd 2007 11:46PM
Already is, just add it from the xml feed into the zune collection. That's how I have mine set up.
Richard Mitchell @ Dec 4th 2007 12:21AM
It should be up now if not soon. Dustin was working on getting it up today.
I run on a Mac and avoid my old PC if at all possible, so it took us a while :)

Finally! w00t! Dugg, btw.
Travis @ Dec 3rd 2007 11:17PM
can we get an MP3 of the Yaris Sux? I could just rip the audio from the fancast, but I would like it in its original entirety. I like it more than "Buy More Teh Haloz" and i made that.
Jonah Falcon @ Dec 3rd 2007 11:19PM
Huge success? It's hard to overstate your satisfaction? You're out of beta and you're releasing on time?
Dustin Burg @ Dec 4th 2007 12:44AM
umm ... Yaris sucks
OBM @ Dec 4th 2007 12:55AM
What's the theme at the start/end of the podcasts? It's awesome
elmersglue @ Dec 4th 2007 12:55AM

Mitch @ Dec 4th 2007 3:47AM
Best Outakes Ev-KSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHH!
Ryan @ Dec 4th 2007 4:36AM
Holy crap @ the after-show. That was some of the most hilarious stuff I've heard from the fancast. David's net needs to be wonky more often.
anthony @ Dec 4th 2007 5:40AM
Great show guys, Keep it up.
Also game$pot $ucks...
Anto @ Dec 4th 2007 5:52AM
Great Show
BitChain @ Dec 4th 2007 7:38AM
rotfl, trying to work with that after-show stuff was impossible, i was crying so hard.
bob @ Dec 4th 2007 9:35AM
hey can we get a zune link for this?
DjDATZ @ Dec 4th 2007 9:58AM
I'm listening now! *Play by play commences*
Awesome so far...Knuckles...LOVE your voice. ahahahahhahaha
I'm STOKED on the DivX functionality...Now I'll be able to watch my pirated movies on my 360! :D
I was ABOUT to play some trials last night because I had some free but short span of time, but then after remembering the functionality coming with the new update I'm holding off on those so they don't show up on my gamercard. :D
As for video marketplace in Canada, I really hope they get their act together soon. I want that shit NOW.
Alex...I agree with you, this issue is just DIRTY. Dirty like a crackwhore. But yea, this issue is kind of amusing and exciting...
Burnout Paradise box art tip courtesy of me! :D LOL
As for filling up the whole page with your own comments...I would so do it...lol
That remix was absolutely GOLD. ahahahhaha
I'll be buying the Halo 3 maps 4 days after they come out. The 15th, which is when I'm done my last exam.
I love game hype! :D w00t w00t! I think it helps games...
As for releasing games and them only focusing on big games...there really are TONS of amazing games...and these guys just DON'T HAVE the time to play ALL the games. That way they play the games they want to, and that we want to hear about... :D
DjDATZ @ Dec 4th 2007 11:06AM
Dammit...submitted the comment before finishing...lol
December to March - PLAY THE GAMES YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED. Like Knuckles said, Burnout Paradise, Army of Two, Unreal Tournament 3...
Alex, in Mass Effect you grow from a hero for humanity, to a hero for all the galaxy and it's civilizations.
AHAHAHAHHAHAHA...Knuckles breaking up and digitalizing is really funny...lol and i love how you guys were DYING laughing at Knuckles' misfortune.
that endign was absolutely PRICELESS. THIS HAS TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN! :P ahahhahahahahha
Awesome fancast FTW.
grigdog @ Dec 4th 2007 11:13AM
Dustin, know that in Ep44 you mentioned being in the Chicago area. If you have time the next time you are down here we should have a fanboy get together.
DiddlyKong @ Dec 4th 2007 6:26PM
Hey guys great show. I never miss one. Keep up the good work.
JAKEJAX @ Dec 4th 2007 6:41PM
The after show was awesome. I was laughing my ass off.
Dustin are you worried that you will get fired for you Yaris review. Dun...Dun....Dunnnn!
JAKEJAX @ Dec 4th 2007 6:42PM
Sorry, but how do you reply to comments?
Saccia @ Dec 5th 2007 11:32AM
I gotta say the whole Kane & Lynch thing is outta control. So, if Gamespot and the publisher think they can keep quite about this to keep things good they are stupid. Go look at the current review scores on that article. The game has an average review of 2.7 out of about 3,300 user reviews. People are obviously trashing the crap out of the game because of this stink pile. With people trashing the game like this, Gamespot and the publisher have drummed up 100x worse press for the game than Jeff could ever had done for it.
