    I sometimes listen to podcasts on the PS3 or 306 as mp3s streamed from my media server. The big prob with long podcasts is that, if you don't listen to the whole thing at once, the PS3 takes ages to fast forward to the last place you were and the 360 doesn't fast forward at all. A split option might be helpful for people with similar issues. Prob quite rare though.

    I enjoyed the podcast. Personally I would ditch the karma thing as it rarely reflects the worth of a comment either way. Plus you end up highlighting some troll who hardly ever posts here. A better idea would be to pick your top 10 comments from the FORUMS and COMMENTS each week. Guests are a great idea and it would be great to build up a profile of some of the site contributors by hearing them in person.

    Yeah, I think we'll ditch the best / worst comments and maybe ask Tom etc to pick some interesting comments from the articles they've written this week. I like Blerk's idea about debating a news story.

    It seems we are number 1 on iTunes in the video games category. Seems a little strange. Anyone know how they calculate it?

    It's updated every couple of hours if it matches the app chart. So you're HOT today.

    Well done.

    I can do a fantastic Golum impression. That must be of some use, surely?

    Quite enjoyable podcast anyway, not enough Star Trek Online ;)

    Is it okay to just post questions here? Except that one, it doesn't count.

    I don't want to anymore. I'm scared.

    Actually I've always wondered, does only one person play a game then write the review? I've always imagined one person would be asked to play a game and they'd be the one to review it, but do other people have a go too to get a better general consensus on the quality of the game? It'd be a shame if the person who reviewed it was the only person in the office to hate it.

    And also of course the official Livetext Finisher Classic, which would you rather have, invisibility or laser vision?

    Mines isn't blank, it's a lovely little picture! I got it direct to iPod, maybe it's different if you download for iTunes on PC?

    EDIT: I see now, blank on PC.

    Kinda related to DFawkes question but what do you think of the Famitsu reviewing system compared to the single reviwer system used by most western websites/magazines? I like the sound of their system - it allows readers to see opinion in the review they read not just the impressions of a single person.
  • Deleted user 16 January 2010 11:26:03
    Yeah, I have a question.

    How long do Tom and other Eurogamer reviewers spend with a game before setting virtual pen to paper and has any reviewer ever been so engrossed by a particular game that the reviewer missed his/her deadline; or almost missed it.

    And is it difficult putting playing hours into games which are quite obviously really poor games from just playing the first 20 minutes.
