Synopsis

-'LoadingReadyRun Podcast' also has three Ds in it."

-I think that podcast is going to be the dominant format...HD format in the future.

The crew discuss the genesis of the video, breakfast at Floyd's, Matt's HD-consuming habits and Graham's video game-induced injuries. Oh, and there's talk of porn, too.

What We're Playing Now

• Jer is playing Microsoft Retailer's Expert Zone Training System, which is essentially a quiz where you can win points that are redeemable towards first-party Microsoft games. This game seems rigged. He is also playing Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Rings of Fate on the DS. He has abandoned also Eternal Sonata, preferring to play Half-Life. He is also playing Portal with Tally.
• Graham is playing Condemned 2, which you can see on his desk in the video. In a nutshell, the visuals differ slightly from the original and the story gets very weird, but the combat system is excellent. He also rants about the Xbox Live Achievements.
• Morgan is playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl, as is everyone else. He proceeds to say that since he has played a negligible amount of SSB, he sucks pretty bad.
• Matt has been playing World of Warcraft.
• James has been playing World of Warcraft, Call of Duty 4 and Brawl.
• Rock Band is being played by Paul, Graham, Matt and Kathleen. Their band is called The Time Lords.
