You guys are useless.  The change in time is so that we do get different people, add on a difference in format, and you've got a different podcast.  I said to get an actual podcast name as the "Euro podcast" is a misnomer, and here GG goes "It's not a Euro podcast without..." ARGH!

The plan, regardless, is and always was to have a different time alternating weeks to get the different participants.

New name:

The better pocast than the weekend one - with 100% more Europeans too.

 Both Bugs and Iga have been on the weekend one! So really the only new European on is GG, which makes it 50% more European.

BTW I didn't mean to talk over you guys.

You know because when you are face to face you can tell when people want to speak. But in a online convo people try to speak at the same time and then we have that awkward pause "You go ahead, no you go ahead etc" so when that happened I just thought rather than have that awkwardness it was easier to keep talking.

 No worries I am the host and I am supposed to lead a conversation and keep things on topic. The fact me and Master Yoda talked about the living standards of Canada and the Netherlands compared to the States means I failed miserably. We really need to set times far in advanced so I can prepare a structure and questions. 

So this means I will have to host again, this failure needs to be corrected.

That would happen with the earlier podcasts, but then you get used to it and there's less of a problem.  The main trick is there seems to be a delay with the audio to get used to.  But it wasn't as big of an issue as you might think.

Euro podcast #2 is posted.  Warning: We cover every topic for about 3x-5x as long as we should have due to going off-topic constantly.

Should've taken the laptop with you to the toilet, and the euro podcast should be devoted entirely to describing the advantages of socialism!

Good stuff. Grinning

When you played that Midi track I wondered if you'd got it from The Beatles Rockband.

So are you guys going this week?  If not we need to know to organize the other cast, then.

If you are, then here are the predictions from last NPD podcast

39:55 - Halo ODST sales
  40:21 - "Beatles Rock Band could give it a run" (Yodariquo)
  40:29 - "1/3 the sales of Halo 3" (Dvader)
  40:32 - "Easily over a million" (darthhomer)
  40:38 - "1/4 the sales of Halo 3" (Yodariquo)


41:30 - Will Scribblenauts or Muramasa make the top 20 NPD?
  41:35 - "Scribblenauts top 20; Muramasa, not a chance" (Yodariquo)
  41:38 - "Right, I agree with that" (Dvader)
  41:49 - "enough to get [Scribblenauts] 50,000 maybe 60,000.  Might be enough to crack the top 20" (Dvader)
  42:07 - "[Scribblenauts] is not gonna make the top 10" (Yodariquo)

42:14 - "You're gonna have to sell over 150,000 next month to make the top 10"
  1:10:38 - "[PS3] could overtake [Wii] next month" (Yodariquo)

1:19:59 - "I think I have a better chance of an alien landing on my front lawn than Gamingeek getting on the podcast"

Also at a later point Dvader said Xbox 360 would be first, I said PS3 then Wii.  I win Nyaa
