so frustrated when these comes out and not available for download via itunes.

"What's Pokemon"? I believe we know them better as Mini-Cons.

The reason that you can't play muliplayer games across platforms isn't because of any technical issues, it's due to the policies of the different console manufacturers. Both Sony and Microsoft have toyed with console to PC muliplayer, but they don't allow cross play between competing consoles. Microsoft is especially concerned with this, as they charge users for multiplayer access.

Interesting side note, during development of games, it's not uncommon for devs to have Xbox to PS3 multiplayer set up for debugging purposes. They then remove that functionality before it goes gold.

Plus, PC gamers will slaughter console gamers every time, that is why the console-PC games came and went so fast in the early years of this generation of consoles. Keyboard and Mouse offers more accurate aiming, which is supplemented on consoles by aim-assist.

Thanks for the information. And now I know, and knowing is....something, something.

Yo Joe!

Question. How long is this podcast supposed to be? Cuz the one I downloaded has a running time of 1:10:34 and it just stops right in the middle of the conversation about the quality of today's toys.

I used the direct download link on the news page and didn't touch anything pertaining to the file download until it was done. Once it finished, I opened the file and started listening, with it coming to an end at the 1:10:34 mark.

It's 2 hours 20 minutes. Your file must not have downloaded completely. File size is 128MB. I downloaded the file directly from the server just now after you posted your message above.

I'll try downloading it again to see what happens.

EDIT: Finished the second download and got the whole thing this time. Will listen to the rest of it after I get some sleep.

Still weird how only the first half downloaded the first time when nothing seemed to go wrong.

Hi Guys, thanks for such a good podcast and happy 2nd Birthday (sort of)

re: Transformers/ GI Joe

it is always a question of scale: My first 'joe' was Quarrel and the Rapid fire Motorcycle, so that is one I would love to see, ( and yes I see from BBTS that Quarrel is becoming one of the subscription figures- the carrier figure as far as I would be concerned) but even a movie Arcee styled attack cycle would be voyager-ultra class.

just purchased two smaller class Star wars crossovers- and the idea here I think is that their 'robot' modes fit in 'as' the 3.75 mainline figure- correct me if i'm wrong. maybe that could be a way to do it that would suit nobody.

just a story to share-- in my nearest 'Smyths' toystore-(60 miles from base) and a parent was purchasing a toy for her child to bring to a birthday party, and the pegs were full of bumblebees, where the argument was that "Darren already has Bubblebee", the child wanted to bring the Optimus Maximus- a price which the parent wasn't paying. so they bought wrestling figures instead.... nice job Hasbro.. that's how you lose sales.
