  • Adamjoseph64  - Big news?

    I'm guessing that the big news with ThatChickWithTheGoggles is that she's starting a new gaming related podcast with Sean? Anyway another great podcast (being english myself it's a delight to hear similar accents :D).

  • The sad panda

    sean's power break and my song broke rolloT will to make fat jokes.
    Muahaha.

  • Condorel

    Everyone sounds cool with a British accent, it's an unfair advantage you guys have over us New Worlders

    I love this podcast, it always blows my mind the level of talent on this site. (I swear I'm going to lose my job because I spend so much time here)

    Keep it up!

  • BalloonAnimals

    I love british accents! I wish I had an accent! :P

    I love your podcasts btw, they make my day better!

  • TheManFromNazereth  - Justice

    Do I hear them in the background of this review?

  • Cferra

    Another day, another great podcast from the one and only Transmission Awesome. Guys, this was wicked good. Good job on your part and Larry and Ashens.

    Nicely done on all fronts, guys!

  • theturdwhisperer

    were did overlord ashen go :(

  • Arkady Saulski

    Great!

    Finally you guys together at this podcasts - now I MUST see Guru's work!

    Good job, however, Glados is not the best cyber villain - Shodan makes Glados look like a... well she makes her look bad.

  • Stained Sword

    I already saw this like a week ago because of related videos. A good episode. Hopefully Paw and Joe will be back soon.

  • the_animanator

    I remember that grascutter game! that was pritty entertaining in a wierd way^^

  • TheDramaticMonarch

    Oh how I loe the British Invasion!

    On the countdown front, there's definitely that element of challenge between personal opinion and general agreements among the public when it comes to narrowing down your choices. As cheesy as it sounds, you gotta follow your instincts. ;) :P

    You think "Dr." is the better title? What about "Sir" or "Lord"?

    Great podcast. A union of the Awesome and the British Invasion!

    Hee, great ending easter egg. ;)

  • Crowhaven

    Actually Mistwalker is Japanese not a US studio.

  • Starsky

    I have actually been anticipating these two on the podcast for awhile! Such charming gentlemen, you are. :)

    Great show, all of you!
    And Sean, you're back! :D

  • Manic Monkey

    Booo no Brian May guitar version of God Save the Queen.
    :P

    Besides that great show.

    Aww bless you :D

  • MattTheParanoidKat  - Glad to hear from the Dark lord

    Neat little podcast. Hearing Ashens was worth it. But, I would like to point out some things. Lost Odyssey by Mistwalker is a JRPG. Not a western RPG. You also forgot the Persona series by Atlus, a really well done system of JRPGs.

    So, there is my nerd knowledge :D

  • Deimos1984rd

    Great podcast guys, great to hear from Wes, Larry and Ashens.

    BTW Sean, I agree completely...I hate Enchanted Arms with a passion.

    Persona was a game on my lips for ages, hence why I could only muster up Atlus. But to make things worse, it was released by a publisher called "Ghostlight" over here.

  • Richard Wesker

    There's a remake of Persona coming for the PSP and PSN in September. I'm thinking of getting it. I've never actually played the Persona games. I hear that Persona 4 is very good, though.

  • Pie3492  - Oh yes!

    Awesome blog of the week!
    I've caught up to CR!'s awsomeness level.

    Anyway, this was a great podcast episode. Although Paw and Joe were gone, Guru Larry and Dr. Ashens (it's so cool that you are an ACTUAL doctor!) were AMAZING! I absolutely love accents. :3
