Dear Humans of the Planet Earth,

Sorry for the technical delays in posting shows and adding podcast value as of late.  We are all crunching for E3 and John is chained and shackled to his desk until Crackdown 2 ships.  We’ve also had a little problem with one of our shows going and getting all “corrupted” after we spent a few hours editing it….stupid show!  Note that we’ve got 2.5 shows recorded and “in the can” that we’ll work on editing and posting as time permits and we’ll be back to our regular bimonthly (or fortnightly for our friends in Europe!) podcasts soon.  Thanks for hanging on a little while, while we juggle our work and get caught up on the backlog!  Don’t worry…we aren’t dead or going anywhere…

Sincerely,

The games lovin’, MGS Test Crew of Platform Biased
