Stryder's tip-of-the-week
Other topics

I know... it's a little later than usual, but only by a couple hours.

Hopefully the editing was good on this episode. I didn't have a chance to listen back to it after I finished. lol.

Also... you get to hear what Stryder was hinting about regarding CoD2.

Late? I think the effort you guysput in no one can complain about a couple of hours

Could there be any more reverb? :p

Great show once again. Liked the new intro and outro. Keep the bloopers.. they're a great listen always :D

I love it.
Im glad the screeching has gone O an foyleman, I hope you mean 1 dollar paypal to all the listeners aswell, hehe.

Alot more topics and you kept the decent content for each brilliant. And I definatly think it was a PEBKAC issue.

I also have a topic for ya. Maybe you should discuss the lawsuit between Yahoo and X-Fire. Im not sure if this is still going because I havn't heard much, so it's something to research.

Keep up the great work,
Supersword

great shirt.

was there alot of reverb? I should have listened back to it on headphones. I didn't have time.
If there is too much reverb, I will remove some since I still have the original files. let me know if you think I should.

Naw.. it's not that annoying.. I just DO listen with headphones.. and being a musician I'm quite sensitive to it's use.. or misuse :p

I've said it before and im not afraid of say it again, Good Job!

Like the Intro, more in my taste then the old one (havent got to the outro yet )

YAY!!! Great Episode guys. I love the new intro and the new outro and the length and the content. Its all great. There's only one problem that I found...
Now I have to wait a week for episode010

We all got that problem
