Aw man, I'm always pumped to hear Dyson host. I could listen to that man talk about damn near anything and I'd be interested.

Happy New Years, everyone!

I've got a Limited Edition Assassin's Creed with an Altair figure (unopened) that I don't want cos it's PS3 and I already got it on 360.. Is that eligible for donation? Just curious.

Also, DYSON FTW!

Best episode ever. Chad lost his mind laughing multiple times, and Dyson gave us an excellent analysis of Walgreens pizza rolls. The old school intro, too!

CHECKERS IN SPACE!

@Dyson: I want to argue your decision to exclude cheetos from the list because of the mess factor. I eat cheetos all the time but I use chopsticks. The use of chopsticks are not limited to cheetos but to every other chip. If your short on chopsticks just snag a handful of them from panda express.

@calpis- that's still hard if you think about concentrating using chopsticks in one hand and the controller in the other.

I'm not leaving for another 2 days, but I've got all my stuff packed and I'm going to spend the next 48 hours sitting next to my front door waiting to go to the airport :)

@Aiya: It's not at all hard for me, being chinese and all... But I can understand if someone didn't grow up with chopsticks it would be tough. Give it some practice and you'll level up in no time, your fingers will thank you unless you like sucking on your fingers after cheetos.

Side note: I'd like to add another one of my favorite snacks into the mix. Eating goldfish from a mug like you're drinking it.

Macross 7!

I just felt the need to mention it, since no one else did when Macross came up.

GOLDFISH! Man, I love those things. They need to be on the list, too.

I was actually thinking about the chopstick method, but another condition for the snacks list was the 'no look' factor. You don't want to have to take your eyes off the screen while nom nomming.

@Justin- oh man I was about to mention Macross 7 but then Macross Plus came into the mix :3 I love all kinds of Macross!

On the snacking while gaming topic, I've got to throw in Combos as a suggestion. Tasty, many flavors, quite filling, and no mess!

Also, after hearing Dyson's triumphant return, I had to go out and grab a giant bag of Pizza Rolls - triple meat flavor. goddamn tasty.

am I the only person who doesn't snack while gaming?
it's funny cus I'm a fatty, but I'm very OCD about my controllers.
Cocktails, on the other hand, will be destroyed.

Great episode! But no one had N+ on their list? Not even an honorable mention?

Dyson! Macross PLUS! YES! But I agree. You NEED to check out Macross Frontier. Frickin' BA. And let's all forget about Macross Zero, but remember its cool CG scenes.

Also, when the titles for Checkers in Space appears in the game, it should be sung like a David Bowie song.

Hey Stella, hey Stella. Ever heard of Summer Session or Lucky Rabbit Redux? One is a short, simple, Tokimemo-esque game in English for Windows and OSX. The other is a not-yet-complete TMGS-esque game in English for those two computer types.
Also, smoked cheese. Nyo~ron~!

CHEEEEEECKERS IN SPPPAAAACE! (Props for the Flight of the Conchords reference Iconsam!)

RFGO crew. This episode was FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC. I seriously laughed till I cried twice this episode :D

I predict that "PUZZLE! PUZZLE! PUZZLE!" and "Whore Mouth!" will become as widespread as NOT downloading with a NOT R4. (Which for the record I DONT have now thanks to theGHost <3)

Way to end the year. I love you all + Luna :D
