I'm having the same issue in iTunes. Luckily there is a download link.
Richard Mitchell @ Dec 14th 2009 8:24PM

Photo party did launch

It just never really hit it off and was kinda hidden on the last panel on occasion.

I'm getting error downloading through itunes
Erron Kelly @ Dec 14th 2009 8:06PM
The iTunes problem is in the URL. The filename is ending with ".mp3.mp3" and it's messing the download up.
Jake G73 @ Dec 15th 2009 9:07PM
Not downloading on Zune, I was looking forward to a two hour show too.

Had problems downloading on itunes so i just decided to download the mp3 file. Nice long podcast keep up the good work guys. All you guys need to do is get Xab's Canadian butt on the show.

Seriously, what happened in Akira? I watched it after hearing SO much about it, but I found the story incredibly disjointed. The art style and attention to detail was incredibly awesome, though.
andyface @ Dec 15th 2009 10:44AM
no one knows, but everyone who's seen it pretends they know so they don't look silly.
I think the basic plot is that a kid called Akira is found to have super human powers, he's taken in by the military for experiments where they try to find a way to use his powers for military purposes. The kid from the biker gang (Tetsuo) gets mixed up in an experiment and gets given the powers. Because he's kinda got a complex from being looked down on in the gang, he ends up going a little on the crazy side, so Kaneda has to take his ass down with a Spartan Laser.
There's some sub plot stuff too and some trippy stuff that shows the development of Tetsuo's powers. All in all, flipping awesome and crazy. First time I saw it, it was late in the night and had watched Labyrinth before hand so made for an extra trippy viewing.

On the whole second hand game thing, I tend to pick up games that I wasn't too bothered by at launch second hand, when they've dropped to £10, I recently got Alone in the Dark for that price, seems much more worth it at that price, the flaws kinda don't matter.
I also tried to get a second copy of ODST for system link purposes, last week and Blockbuster was selling it new for $24.99 and used for £24.95. That's 4p difference, the guys at the counter where equally perplexed but said that there wasn't anything they could do. Seems Blockbuster don't care so much about their second hand stuff. I didn't bother getting it in the end.

So is Xav not part of the podcast anymore?
YimYimYimi @ Dec 15th 2009 9:32PM
More Thermals! Love 'em and more would be awesome!
P.S. Hope Xav recovers quickly from the dropbear incident.
YimYimYimi @ Dec 15th 2009 9:35PM
Whoops, didn't mean to reply to you. Not that I wouldn't, you seem like a very nice person.

I FINALLY KNOW WHAT GFWLGOD IS FOR! People who play mainly on the Xbox, and want to get achievements on the PC, also. An achievement whore's heaven, especially the free, 200 Gamerscore carrying, Tinker. It actually is a really great game and you guys should try it. Download the GFWL client and DL the game for free. Hope you guys try it and I would love to hear what you think of my theory. Love you guys.
Reddrive @ Dec 16th 2009 2:56AM
Thanks for the tip... didn't see that it was free
Jake G73 @ Dec 16th 2009 4:11PM
Xav must not like the podcast anymore lol. Also Dave must think hes hilarious with his cancer jokes.

I noticed you guys complained a lot about Gamestop. I agree with you that they generally suck and their prices for used games are way too high. That's why I haven't shopped there for years. My question is, if you guys hate Gamestop so much, why do you continue to shop there? I know Alex said he doesn't normally, but what about Richard and Dave?
Bestbuy or even Target will have all the new releases, and like Dave, I buy most of my games from Amazon. Can't beat the free shipping and no tax, and they will often have a discount on most games within a month of release. Dave for as much as you say you shop on Amazon, why bother going into a Gamestop at all?
Not trying to offend, just curious.
