    Something to listen to tomorrow @work. Thank you kindly.

    After listening, I think you guys should have an addditional podcast to discuss Japanese toys that aren't Transformers. As I don't collect that stuff, it was hard to follow what was being discussed.

    A chipmunk and Metal Gear Solid? Seriously?

    Also, Fallout 3! YES! I hope you got the GOTY edition. That game is awesome. I was actually playing while listening to the entire podcast.

    Wow, that was an entertaining podcast from Vangelus' Chlamydia Madness to OMG Lupis Convoy's list of stuff from his brother who went to Florida all done with dramatic music and a chipmunk voice. Nicely done, guys.

    Vang brought up an interesting point about some of us becoming internet old. If they had Cullen doing anything Transformers 10 years ago the internet would have exploded, now it's just meh.

    Times they are a changing, now I'm all depressed as I feel old :lol

    Now we just need Omegus to try and top it ;) 

    I have seen this haul. I have run my fingers through it's plasticy goodness. Caressed it's plentiful bosom and came home with the high quality Vehicle Voltron KO and the black G1 Jetfire-esque jet. My girlfriend came away with the Macross/Robotech model kits and a bubblegum crisis music CD.

    I just listened to the podcast and feel the need to point out an incongruity.

    You asked that any questions being submitted are about Transformers since it is a Transformers Podcast. Makes sense.

    The problem is that you guys spent at least half an hour yammering on about toys you got, most of which were NON-TRANSFORMERS!! All of which had convoluted, nonsensical japanese names which mean absolutely nothing to any of your listeners (like myself) who have no friggin' idea what you're talking about!

    I fell asleep listening to it!

    If you're going to impose a "Transformers discussion only" limitation on the listeners, then it really should apply to you guys too.

    I was expecting a response like this, and prepared a counter-argument! :D  Though I take exception to your use of entirely disprovable hyperbole, it shoots your post in the foot.

    (Also, if you dislike hearing moonspeak so much, you could very easily skip ahead using the chapters and/or timeline I provide for you every week. ;)  )

    'What We Got This Week' is a section entirely about the podcasters' spending habits and acquisitions, so it can cross genres as much as it needs to. In past we worried about staying on-topic, and after over a year I have come to the conclusion that a majority of the listeners either don't mind or enjoy the various tangents we go on. I have also brought its length into question in past, but a vocal listenership requested that I not grind it down into a 10 minute segment. It's worth noting that the section has also at times been shorter and/or more Transformers-centric, entirely depending on what we got that week.

    The Listener Question section, however, gets that vaguely stricter topic cap put on it because its content is stemmed from a group of more than 7 people. It also needs to be Transformers-related because I like to keep the chapter-marked topics outside of What We Got This Week based on Transformers discussion. Allowing Listener Questions, which can in fact move to non-Transformers places so long as there is Transformers content in them as well, to be 100% off-topic goes too far down the slippery slope that I enjoy our discussions riding on at present.

    And to be honest, even on our worst days of going all over the map, every podcast released has had a majority of its time spent on Transformers discussion. That, combined with the chapters and detailed timelines I provide to you each week, balances out any topic imbalances in the What We Got This Week section.

    Does this mean the rules are bent in favour of the podcasters? I don't believe so, as per my reasonings above. But if they are, then I'm allowed to do that given how many hours per week I spend working on this production. :) 

    So while I appreciate the concern that there is an incongruity, I have already considered that notion and feel that it is misguided.

    I don't want to make a smart ass comment to the effect of "It's our show, and we make the rules", but that's basically true. If a store manager has a sign that says "do not enter" to keep people out, now he's not allowed to enter the door either because the rule applies to everyone?

    Let's not be silly.

    If you nearly feel asleep, then you fail to understand the purpose of A) Vangelus putting in chapter markers so you can easlity skip boring parts or B) the common function of fast forward available on any device that plays audio media.

    By any chance can we get a supplemental of "What Lupis Got This Week"?

    EDIT: No need. See me in 30 minutes.
