Cool man. I'll enjoy this of course.

Edit: I have just finshed it. Really liked this one, it was tight, crisp and always on topic. I have to agree with Jamie about Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice - great fun.

I just finally listened to all 3 episodes. Nicely done. Onlive doesn't sound like something that should become mainstream for gaming, simply because it leaves so many of us out. At least with DLC, you can go to a friends house with your system, and DL the stuff, and use it at home where you don't have internet (if that's your situation).

Yea, I don't really see OnLive doing that well. It just isn't the right time for it, I don't think.

If OnLive works, I'll be one surprized man. It leaves people that don't have high speed internet or fiber optics out in the cold. Why not spend some money on your favorite console and games so you can have the games right there at your fingertips. I think OnLive's a good idea, but poorly exicuted. I'd like to some of the develepers [like Sony for example] start to come up with ther own online video game streaming service. Zero and I are huge Nintendo fans. I'd spend gobs of money if Nintendo had a online game stream.

yea, but streaming just isn't the way to go for good gaming

Putting up with lag here and there in online multiplayer games is annoying enough at times, I can't imagine adjusting to that for single-player gaming too.

Well, I remember having to do that back in the old Playstation days if you had a scratch on the disc.

Oh yeah, I remember that, but it was more like *error* game stops working. I had that with Disc 1 of FFVII, every time Cloud saw the illusion of Sephiroth walking out of the City of the Ancients towards Icicle Inn, the game just froze due to scratches. My Crash Bandicoot just would be a black screen too xD.

I hate Lags in video games. When I play MLB 09 The Show online, the game seems to lag when it gets the the team select screen. I get so mad at that it really ticks me off. Thank god Resistance: Retubution's lag free on the PSP>
