Also, love the podcast, feels very professional while still managing to feel like a conversation i might have with friends.

P.S. I am renewing my phone contact soon, and I am torn between a Palm Pre and a htc HD2.... the pre's key pad looks like it might annoy me while the HD2 is based of windows modile 6.5.... with htc's sense UI overlaying it... I am very torn between the two. Wondered if you had any recommendations?

There is going to be a reboot of spiderman because paramount had a faaling out with the director because they were trying to push him in a direction he did not want to go (like in spiderman 3 with venom) and he just walked away. This led to toby walking away aswell because of his connection to the director.

Comment on TV: Lost Season 6 Premiere

In response to Amber's burning question about the nature of the food drop that seems to have spoiled her enjoyment of LOST, I don't think the writers have forgotten about it. I believe that it is implied in Season 4 (The Economist) that the food drop is a result of the time dilation effect between the island and the outside world. Daniel Faraday does an experiment that shows an object that enters the island's proximity from the freighter at one time experiences a delay before it actually appears on the island. It seems pretty likely that whoever dropped the Dharma food dropped it in the past and it appeared on the island in the future. Perhaps the pilot missed the proper compass bearing that would allow him to pass through the island without jumping through time, and thus the food that was intended for the Dharma Initiative ended up in 2004.

I hope that helps.

Thank you, thank you, thank yoU for the Emperor's New Groove reference. It made the corners of my mouth curl skyward in amusement.

Ah, man. Serious Sam. When My girlfriend and I were first starting to date, she peered over my shoulder and saw this game. From that point on, I got her hooked. Teaching someone who isn't FPS ready to be ready in that game is hard, but she managed. Can't wait to get my hands on Serious Sam HD!

That Hans guy sounds so fine...

Brad, you do a great job on this podcast. AND! I am always especially silent; I am either impervious to or interested in nerdy conversation by this point in my life.

My best multi-player memory is playing Quake with my friends in high-school, but by the time I got to college I was still terrible at it. I did play the demo a lot though. I was great at the demo.
