I'm so tempted to send GFW some delicious "drop" from the Netherlands but I'm afraid that you guys would hate it. Almost all Dutch people love it but Americans, not so much. :lol
 
Hopefully we don't get to a point where we are limited on what we can download. If anything, just slow down their internet if they go over the limit so others don't deal with it.

Salmiac is so great. People who don't like it are just too girly for its magnificence.

Like Salmiac, it's a unique flavour.

damn, well, sounds tasty, i guess.

i can send them some pretty cool asian candy that would get some unique reactions. do we send it to the main ziff davis address or what? should i label it candy for GFW?

edit: nm, i got the addy. i thought shawn was ignoring me :lol

PM me the dedicated GFW candy address and I'll see what I can do.
I might send you guys a box with various kinds of drop, salmiac and some stroopwafels (everyone loves stroopwafels).

No! They remain the best candy, even better than Rowntree's fruit pastilles.

You're making my mouth water.

But with Fruit Gums, you do have to pick them out of your teeth sometimes :p

I'm really glad that canada is a lot less draconian with its bandwidth limits. The Rogers example in the article aside, I'm on 10Mbit from shaw and leech like a mofo and I've never been charged for any overage. One thing that would have been interesting to see in robert's article is a comparison with the model used in europe which I understand is considerably more than we pay in north america.

Damn straight. :D

Well, it is a kind of liquorice, but more spicy. That's the best way I can describe it.

I prefer it over ordinary liquorice anyhoo.

Thanks for the address Shawn. I'll probably buy some stuff on Sunday and send it your way on Monday. It may take a while to arrive though.

shocking how little was said on the subject of crysis warhead. GFW, what the fuck!?
would you guys please live up to the name of your podcasts and talk about games!? I don't care about yaddle or anthony gallegos or shawn elliots torture porn twitter feed. didn't they promise to talk about warhammer online? one game, stalker, that was it for gaming on this podcast. you should really rename it to former GFW employees talk about nothing podcast.

ign's podcast has so much more content. GFW hasn't even mentioned the new videocards just released by ATI. no wonder they lost their magazine. these guys are terrible.

I figure that as long as it isn't fruit or vegetables and the products are packaged and sealed it shouldn't be a problem.

Hope so!

Why don't you just listen to IGN's boring ass podcast then? GFW is about quality discussions and fun.

It's not like I don't find their OT stuff entertaining. it's just that I think they're spending too much time on it. I think it was 2 episodes ago GFW promised WAR discussion. where is it? they played crysis warhead, barely a mention. I do appreciate the stalker talk but come on!

1up yours balances the game stuff and the OT quite well. I'm sure GFW could too. Or maybe they should just change the name of the show to 1up OT or something.

So if they change their name it's fine with you all of the sudden? Seriously some people...

Jeff already said a couple of time that you can listen to Legendary Thread for plenty of WAR-talk. No need to talk about the same thing twice in the same week, so I can kinda get why they haven't talked about it yet. http://www.1up.com/do/minisite?cId=3156457

look, I subscribed to the podcast 3 weeks ago because, since it's called GFW, I thought it would be about games for windows. that seems to be the subject they talk the least about. In order to not have assholes like me complaining about the show, change the name so that people don't subscribe thinking it's something it's not.

Shit, I knew I forgot to talk about something. I intended to say quite a bit about Warhead.
We did talk about Space Siege, DOW 2, and Clear Skies. As for the name of the podcast -- well, I've wanted to change it forever. I just haven't won that argument.

But torture porn? What? Shit makes no sense to me.
 
I was wondering what happened to that after you promised it and it never came up, but I didn't expect STALKER talk, so I just sort of forgot.

perhaps I exaggerate. dedicating one sentence to crysis probably pissed me off as I'm anticipating warhead quite a lot. on the subject of your twitter; you guys make it sound like you're mr.stile.

why don't you guys ever talk about hardware? new gpu's came out. I'm sure pc gamers care. I even wonder what configuration you guys use for your games.

Dude, we'll give you a refund. Settle down.

I don't know if anyone on the show is even remotely into hardware. I like games. And Yaddle.

Please no! I don't care, and if I want boring technical shit I'll read extremetech and anandtech all day.

There's another point. Ziff has a hardware podcast and since we're tech bozos we couldn't really compete. It's one of those cases where I really have to say sorry man (to Otaku), you gotta get that elsewhere.

I never really even noticed, but talking about hardware wouldn't jive on this particular podcast, I'm glad it doesn't happen.

Thanks for the great podcast this week guys.

Mind throwing a few quick comments about the game here? I'm interested in hearing what you have to say outside of the multiplayer preview you put up a few days ago.

I'm just hoping for a game that lives up to Crytek's optimization promises, and that is as much fun to play as the levels Assault and Onslaught from the first game that they've said they're using as a template for Warhead.

Holy shit, the anthony bit was hilarious :lol

As it started I kept thinking... ugh, are they really pretending this is real or something? As soon as it happened though I crapped my pants though :lol

You're gonna want salted hard (not soft) drop instead. Trust me on this.


edit: name AND countryfriend daniel-san, add some drop in that package man. just for comparisons sake.
