Well, here we go with number three. First of all, apologies this one is so late. First of all our Editors laptop died, and then none of us mere mortals could edit it properly so we ended up waiting for Highpass to fix his PC. Anyway, it’s up now so enjoy it! We will be back up and running as normal this week.

So, this is our first podcast with an interview, which hopefully will go down well. Thanks to our guest (wont say who, so you have to listen to it :p).

Thanks again go out to Krazie and Tron for co-presenting, and to Highpass for editing. Oh, and to Routine for his attempts, and for letting us get away with the podcast!

Let us know what you think- and start sending us some questions! Get yourselves more involved.

And the motto for this one….drinking isn’t big or clever- but it is fun. The outtakes will be revealed at some point lol.

Oh, and before I forget- due to the delay this week the Achievement Challenge will be extended until Tuesday the 16th - 8PM Eastern.

[Sanction]

Mute of the week? O.o


BTW, you guys are awesome at this. Much better than some of the other, more popular podcasts on iTunes.

[Brighton X]

Can't wait to listen, downloading as we speak. It didn't seem that much later than the 2nd one, but that just may be me.

[Dukefan45]

Even though I've only been listening for two weeks, I missed not having the show to listen to over the weekend.


Keep up the good work guys!

[Vista]

lol, I just downloaded all of them, they are awesome!

@ Minty's voice-Wow, I didnt know your voice was gonna be like that!

I will be thinking of a jingle...

[Clipse 2]

Thanks for the mute Tron, it put a big smile on my face and gave me a chuckle. I recommend everyone to get in a Live game with Tron, at some point in time he'll randomly start telling you he's muting people.

Great job with the podcast guys.

[patches4711]

Great Job with the podcast guys I really enjoyed it. Listening to it at work makes my day go by so much faster. Great Interview with Stallion!!

[Xterm1n8or]

Nice job once again! Great interview with Stallion! Err but you want some negative comments? er i totally hate everything about the show, redo it all now :p No seriously it just keeps getting better.

[flip]

hey, this is for either tron or krazie.... where and what time exactly is that halo 3 thing going down at in akron this weekend, because i would definitely like to go down there but i don't know if i can make it at the moment right now, times would definitely be a help and where at so i will know where to go. the more likely day to go for me though will be sunday as i have to work pretty much all saturday from 12-7.......

btw, is anyone going to the rock band tour bus up in cleveland at the rock hall this week? if so PM me and maybe we can meet up at the tour bus

[Misfit]

:locked:locked:locked:locked NUFF SAID!!

lol random mute of the week

[Jdm7399]

What Tron say about me? Thems fightin' words!:p You got it right, Tron. I'm from Cali. Thanks for the Spam Shout!

I hope you guys really don't Spam me. Negative Feedback for everyone, YEAH!!! I'm just kidding...or am I?;)

Seriously, though...I called up Tron asking to borrow a cup of sugar and this is what I get in return. Never borrow sugar from Tron ever! FYI, Tron...you gave me Salt.:p

OK, back to the Podcast. It keeps getting better and better. Awesome job guys! Great Interview with the King of Gamerscores, Stallion! I thought you guys weren't going to do a 3rd one because it seems to always launch on the weekend. Keep up the fantastic work everyone and I'll be looking forward to listening next week!

P.S. I still want to hear Webb!;)

[TorchFX]

Nice Podcast, gentlemen. Made my work night go by a little quicker. I'm now subscribed, and I'm already looking forward to the next one.

[lickidy split]

You guys should be more enthusiastic when you talk, it would keep me interrested longer.

Please keep saying TOKYO GAME SHOW! at the beginning of the podcast, that always makes me chuckle

Minty has got me super hyped for assassin's creed that game looks amazing.

[conor bp]

great podcast, keep up the good work and there isnt really any negative feedback you can say it's all a great show and keep the tokyo game show it makes me laugh and the parts were u were argueing about Uk and America made me laugh aswell :P u guys are always argueing about something in the show. Also good interview with stallion and keep up the good work minty , tron , krazie :)

[Tricka21]

Great job guys & seiously you are good at this but as far as flaming goes i don't really do it cause i'm a nice guy & all but if it makes you feel better from me just saying something negative about you then here goes. You guys tease & target Krazie because deep down you no he's better than you & he should own the show! (Joke) You all rock & the interview with Stallion was cool just keep up the good work. Laters

[Adam Miller]

You ask for bad feedback so....If you get rid of the Tokyo game fest jingle you suck!:p Does it matter if the Tokyo game fest isn't on...Nope!

Now then it was really good and getting better and us Brits are dying to hear more of the Trons accent.:)

[n1n3t33nd3lta]

booooo on the south comments :/ haha, you guys did a good job, though. it just keeps getting better and better. keep it up.

[Ash3n]

I like the longer show this week. I have to say I'm a big fan of the show. The content is informative, well thought out and intuitive. Keep up the good work guys.

Couple of suggestions.

1. MoM interviews.....maybe delve into that realm.

2. Question of the week or listener mail.

3. Maybe a 1 minute update with a condensed news segment of all game related info. i.e. Jack Thompson, GTA push back, Assassins Creed = no demo, Tr0n getting Laser Swords by friendly fire 3 times in a row etc. Sort of like G4 does with the Morgan minute.

4. If 3 doesn't work, how about a recap at the end of the show of what was discussed? It just puts it into perspective.

5. The forum has some hilarious tidbits, what about a quote of the week?

6. Last thought, I promise. How about a weekly poll? Something that can be integrated into the show. The topic can be voted on and the results can be broadcast at the end of the show....then a new question can be posed for the following week.

Just some random thoughts. Keep up the good work.

@Tron Stop dodging me at Halo....I have gotten better I promise. =)

[Minty]

Finally, some suggestions!!

1. Wont say when exactly as it hasnt been finalised, but MOM will be interviewed in the coming weeks, and monthly from now on :)

2. We have been begging for questions and mails. Soon as we start getting some we will choose one :p

3/4. I think we can do a minutes quick fire summary. We will try and work it in this week hopefully. If not, a round-up will be included.

5. The three of us have so much to do behind the scenes, we barely get a chance to browse the forums anymore. We will hava a look and see how we can work it out.

6. Poll - nice touch. As you suggested it Ash3n, you have the honour of picking week one ;). Let me know on MSN...

PS- Cool to have a fan!!

[Ash3n]

PS- Cool to have a fan!!

I just like Tron.

[Minty]

I just like Tron.

Im dedicating the next podcast to Ash3ns wife - cos im like ice-cream coming out of a JBL ;)

[Ash3n]

Well done lol.

[Minty]

You're not allowed to listen to my sections. I mute you.

[Krueger]

its was very long this week but it was good i like jokes about the south

For anyone who doesn't know who Minty dribbles about when he isn't talking.

Was it just me or does it cut off at the end halfway through 'And the prize is...' around 31:42 or somewhere. Still too much Halo though =(

[Im a Manatee]

That interview was pretty awkward, but still good to hear. Stallion sounds pretty different between live and a mic.

Awkward? Interesting word, care to elaborate? :)

[GOD0NE]

Me thinks someone needs to hear how the dirty dirty Liverpool Scouses talk.

That isnt very nice. ;)

[Vista]

Here is a jingle... (I chose the cheesy way out!)

Hey, achievements are fun
So pick up Halo 3 and get your gun!
x360a yaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy

[Cyrex]

Minty and tron you both suck... hey its what you guys wanted right :)

but anyway you need to stop saying um listen to what krazie is doing i can tell that he is doing it at a different time as you two but you really have very little of an idea of what you are going to say and its always uhhh ya and the... but ummmm, practice more but i think that you may get it by the time that number 10 rolls around

[GOD0NE]

That isnt very nice. ;)

When do you think they will change theLiverpool F.C name to Spain B Team:eek:

United United United United!

Id keep that out of a thread about the podcast by 2 Admins and 1 Super mod. Youre kinda asking to get scrwed...

And in response to Cyrex - Erton and I have an outline of where we're going and do it on the flow. If we were to script it all it would lose the uh's etc, but then it would be a podcast with no personality in it.

I think I'm in love.

You have to keep the "TGS" jingle in. I can't wait another year to laugh at that, and there's only so many times one can have a Podcast on repeat before he decides it's finally time to commit themselves to the looney bin.

Also, any British accent (even one from the dirty, dirty South) is better than any American tripe. ;)

Keep up the good work lads.

[Maka]

I really like where this is going.

And the negative things, I gave my thoughts to Krazie over Xbox Live, although they are not major issues, just personal opinions about a couple of things.

And, I need some help with the whole iTunes Podcast thing. So, I subscribed, and it downloaded the latest episode (III) and it will automatically download future episodes... But how do I go about getting the first two, or are they not on iTunes?

[Blind x360a]

I can't find it. =[

[Minty]

I can't find it. =[

Cant find what???

All 3 episodes are on iTunes. Once you are on the sites page, it should list all 3 shows down the bottom- you will have to click on the other 2 to download manually.

Open up iTunes then click on Podcasts located on the left side navigation panel. Next to x360a Podcast click the little triangle and it will expand showing the other episodes. Just click on the little icon next to the other two episodes, that'll get them downloading.

[Pez]

Very good indeed. I prefer listening to Podcasts which aren't scripted. As Minty said, it just has more personality.

I think the only bad thing I heard, which isn't even that bad, was the start of the interview, but after the first 30 seconds/1 minute of the interview, it was great.

It just sounded like Stallion was a bit reluctant to talk at first, but once he got with the flow it went fine. :)

I like Ash3n's idea of a poll, would be a great thing to implement into the Podcast.

Keep up the good work guys. :)

~SS

[Jdm7399]

I have a suggestion as well.

How about no more Spam of the Week?:p

I was getting a little shaky, I was away from halo 3 for a whole 10 mins.....

Anyways, thanks again for having me on! TWICE! lol

Ghetto podcast FTW.

[xGodDogx]

lol.... just finished listening to the podcast nice to see that were getting new things added to it

[Butters]

Hey minty you biscuit eater dont dis trivium they have many good albums...ok one but that one is very good. I love you and trons bickering at eachother allthough you guys may want to watch tthe racism...that might make some people angry.

[Misfit]

i loved how its so long! i hated how they were short :woop:

[taylor2712]

wat the hell!!! need i say more!! i just listened to all three as i mised the first 2 (yes i need to get out more) neway weres there spec affects? and minty ur accent is great me being english think it kicks the american accents ass!!! but u need 2 losen up abit, enjoy it abit more! from were im listening it sounds like u treat it as a chor. maybe take the approch tht is fun aslong as the info is there u can talk about a random story from the rest of the week for all i care!! just make it more fun!! pleeaassee im begging you!! im sick of listening 2 gamespots podcast n would much prefer a podcast from u guys purly on the 360!

[nascarfan38124]

I think it was too long and the interview was pretty crappy you guys need to speed it up a bit to make it more intertaining i was falling asleep if i wasent reading other posts and if you can get krazie to be with you guys so all three are togeather because switching back and forth is annoying

also the opening and closing jingle is kinda funky when she tries to say ".org" you should say something more along "x360a podcast" instead of the site name i think it sounds better

finnally krazie needs to loosen up he sounds like he is taking it way to seriouslly and it seems like i am getting a news report not listening to a podcast

oh and you guys all suck there is that better now ;) but i am serious about what i said above

[Krazie]

finnally krazie needs to loosen up he sounds like he is taking it way to seriouslly and it seems like i am getting a news report not listening to a podcast

I'm workin on it.. Its a lot different when you record segments on your own cause I'm basically talking to myself, so its hard to get a lot of personality in there, but im making more of an effort in the next few weeks

Sorry you feel that way about the interview, I do agree it was a lot longer than it should have been, we kind of got carried away, but the feedback I've gotten from it is mostly positive. We're still in the trial and error stage and trying to find the formula that gets the best responses..

Thanks for the feedback man..
