Damn, No more sports entertainment talk. No, Master Higgins and Fitch do not sound alike. That is all.

Oh, the ear/sinus/goo stuff... yeah. No stomach for lunch now.

Anyway, see some of you fine sirs (and lady) on possibly Friday at Gameworks and Saturday at PAX, I will be one of the few XX chromosome beings in attendance. Y'all have a safe flight. Mr. Scott, feel better. The rest of the crew staying in the Cali, have a fun weekend as well.

Peace,
T.

Welcome to the forums! Nice to see a new guy around here who isn't dumping on someone and then leaving.

Now that that nicety is over, yes they do, a lot of us think so and you can't convince us otherwise. So there.

Second that. No matter what anyone else says, I think Fitch's voice is very memorable. And I'm not even a native speaker!

I have been listening to the podcast since the beginning and made my account shortly after the forums were started. Now, that being said, I hate forums because of the people you have mentioned but my time on the Giant Bomb boards have giving me new hope. Everyone one the podcast has annoyed me at one point or another but then I got over myself and enjoyed it a whole lot more.

Maybe its because I pay way too much attention to speech patterns and pitch. I pay way to much attention to the way people speak.

Cool. I was referring more to your post count than join date. Some cool people here (Lemon, Liquid, hell even Kenzo). Love Giant Bomb, just never joined their boards.

Playing your 360 games from the hard drive will stop the loud noise problem. Of course, if you only have a 20-gig HD, it's a little inconvenient installing and uninstalling games so much.

Welcome to the forums, I post on the Giant Bomb boards(great community) from time to time although I find its design a little to spread out for my taste. I'm ashamed to admit that I'm addicted to the GAF style "everything in one thread" cluster fuck.

It's nice to see that we keep getting a slight influx of new members after every podcast. Hopefully a few will become regulars.

Well... she wasn't there, but I agree Geekbox seems odd without her there i.e full cast. Either way good ep. keep it up.

I don't care what the nay sayers say, the Geekbox has a great crew. Fitch & Master Higgins have distinct enough voices that I can tell who is who, and I love how they are the yin and the yang of the show. I love the variety of personalities and geeky interests as well, it makes for a show that is never boring or repetitive.

@W0lfbl1tzers: These boards are small, but they're entertaining and generally hospitable and fresh. We'd love to have ya around!

@dabeast: I love you too! =D

She needs to explain why/how she lost her wedding ring/took it off and forgot it during PAX on the next podcast.

I have a few things to say.

1. 30 episodes and I'm still not completely sure who is who between Fitch and Higgins.

2. When is the GFW Reunion audio track going up?

3. That nose thing sounded painful (Fitch or Higgins).

David Ellis needed to sleep. Let the man sleep, it's in 3 parts, he went to bed. He's got a fever too of 100.8, and he's doing it for free https://twitter.com/DavidEllis Last update was 7 hours ago, he's probably still sleeping, it's meant to go up in the next 12 hours as of last update, but really; he's editing and processing it ahead of his real-actual-paying-job at 1UP/UGO and the demand to process/edit their PAX shit. So... yeah, its up when its up.

So after hearing the Inglorious Basterds comments, I want to know where Fitch ranks Uma Thurman on the Gabrielle Anwar scale

I'm sure David Ellis is a nice guy and all, but I hate his guts. He is easily the worst part of the listenup podcast.
