Another new podcast! W00t!

Nice to see Dave caught wind of all the popular games from last April!

I hate Noel Edmunds and his stupid boxes. If I ever meet him I’m gonna slap the taste out of his mouth

Wow, another great episode, especially since I got a shout out! By the way, I’m not the guy from STP. But I enjoyed that bit.

As Dave pointed out, when Nigel says “COGS” it sounds a lot like he’s saying “cocks.” I was sort of zoning out the first time I heard him say “sliding cogs” and it took me a little bit by surprise.

I got the buggy version of Assassin’s Creed 2, and while it’s great, it does have some pretty noticeable lag on my 2nd Gen iPod Touch. So even though I’m about 4 blocks in (I had trouble racing the French chick too, Nigel) I’ve decided to wait for the update in the hopes that it will make the framerate smoother.

Even with the bugs though, it’s a lot more fun for me than Assassin’s Creed 1. I couldn’t get into that game, as much as I wanted to like it.
