Glad to see it's got a 4th Season commissioned.

Now let's hope they get on regular ABC in a decent timeslot.

^ Agreed. Hopefully they can make it an hour-long show permanently too as sometimes episodes feel a bit rushed in order to fit everything in.

Dammit! Why couldn't they leave it on a Tuesday when I actually have time to watch it?

Sounds like this weeks episode is going to be a good one. I'll download from the ABC website when it is reeased. It's great to hear that there is going to be another season and I'm sure that the GG team will do an excellent job with it. I've been catching up on thier older shows from past seasons and I really think they have hit a sweet spot in terms of balance and interesting content. The show could greately benefit from being an hour show though and I'm sure that a better timeslot and some advertising on ABC could greatly improve thier exposure.

argg... damn the in memorium section, i hadn't finished Half Life 2 : Episode 2 yet. i knew i should have put in more time last night.
and i can't believe Lair got a better review then Uncharted.

i wasn't very happy with the Uncharted review either. I didn't expect Lair to get such a score that they gave it Uncharted deserved to get a 9 at least. But it was a fitting finale.

They did scream "Spoilers!"

I did find it funny though that the Uncharted Review contained one of the dudes getting killed that was mentioned in the "In Memoriam" Section.

my reception was cutting in and out all over the place during the show, QtrCrclA and the Mario and Sonic review were unwatchable, it seems i missed the spoiler warning too...

I tend to fast forward QtrCrclA and those classic matches segments, they just dont appeal to me.

Anybody else notice that the Mass Effect that was dropped was the pre order disc?

Wow that was a good ep, and I liked the QtrCrclA this week, not lol funny, but still okay.
was annoyed that HL2 and Portal were spoilet, but because I skipped those bits as soon as I saw it was from those games I sill am not exactly WHO if you know what I mean.
Really though I thought that was an unnecessary segment, and SPOILERS is not enough for me, I will watch it unless they say spoilers for what, if they don't then I just have to have my finger ready to pause.
Also what do you guys think of their GOTY's choices? I think they did a pretty good job, except bioshock winning the visual whatever it was

Also, would UT3 run on a GeForce 5500+? the computer is only a "couple" years old like they said, but even back then it was not great

I love them, most of the time. That pacman one a while back was fantastic.

I cannot believe they awarded Uncharted a 6.5 and 7.5 respectively. Their gripes with the game were along the lines of "been there done that"; but if its all good and fun then whats the gripe? Insanity if you ask me, especially when they gifted assassins much higher scores. Uncharted is on par if not slightly better than Assassins IMO.

no I thought the main criticisms were the cover system, the way that it made it obvious where the enemies were, the fact they took too long to kill from a distance, and I guess a few other things
