    Great show… was sad not to be able to participate in the Texas heat game… but a MNC session sounds great!
    QUESTION: Chris & Porkfry; now that the Gears Beta is done, how much balancing does it look like you guys have to do, or were the results pretty close to what the team wanted, and its basically all good to go, bar a few minor tweaks?

    Ahw, still a sad panda that I could not participate :( . A MNC session sounds indeed great :D .
    Yoostar 2 is totally awesome, it is actually very different from You’re in the Movies and it is very addictive :D . And I agree with Paul, no more Fiddy :D . Though I fear there might be a lot of jokes about episode 69 :P
    What did you guys actually think of the outage of PSN? And the huge hack options of MW2? When you test a game do you guys also search for that kind of possibilities? Try to look for possible holes?
    Can’t wait for the next shows :D . And ordered my Gears of War 3 Epic edition, my very short Beta time already convinced me into buying the game :D . And because I like statues with my games as well.

    I played Fable III as well. Though I didn’t take on the quest for Reaver’s underwear. I felt it was beneath my dignity as monarch to go skulking around sealing underwear.

    P.S. I think it does you a disservice when you emphasize the “biased” in “platform biased”. Makes you sound like an arm of marketing. Though, since I never was into Pokemon, I tended to find those discussions boring.

    P.P.S. Good question, Joris. Personally, I was upset about the PSN being down…especially as it coincided with my 360 being out for repair.

    Hi again after talking to you through a mass amount of xbox live messages I thought I would post it on here as it may give other people a helping hand :)
    I was interested in what qualification you had and also recomendations of qualifications to getting in the Gaming Industry. The other questions was where to start when you have the qualifications and the different routes to follow. I hope by answering this for me it also helps others who are wanting to know the same answers

    Thank you again for all your help
    Alex =)

    Hi Guys I LOVE playing the xbox 360 and want to say thanks for making all the games you’ve worked on awesome. Im sure you get this a lot but I would like to know how I can get into the games industry to become a QA tester or a writer for e.g. writing the games storyline? P.s. Your Podcasts rule!!!!!!! Thanks for bringing some great comedy moments and the latest gaming news.

    A MNC session would be amazing, as that is my favourite multiplayer game ever.
