*waves*,

i love your podcasts. thank you so much. yeah hi from the states... i'm sorry i really... we all aren't jankie bastards. but yeah anyways i love the podcast. way to go.

no worries but now i have a lil rant. i've just found your podcast &i'm pseudo catching. and @the end of this cast you called Samus Aran(from Metroid): "that metroid guy"... come on :P. Samus was like my heroine growing. She's a women!!! yeah, cool suite &all. The coolest bounty hunter in the game world is a girl. i think its kinda important to recognize that... not like we have a lot of girls in games. its like almost even a taboo to be a geek chick.

take care &killer podcast, keep it up :)
