ABOUT THIS AUTHOR
Hey, haven’t got a chance to play Operation Flashpoint yet but looking at you tube video and weapon listings, I’d say my favorite weapon would be the M4A1 Carbine. I don’t know what it is but every game that has this gun, it always becomes my favorite.
Good podcast..Enjoyed it. You guys had my cracking up talking about the Wii. Wanted to give you a heads up though, I did have a little trouble hearing Scott. Listening at work, so can’t turn volume up way loud but was constantly having to change volume to hear Scott and then turn it back down then Rane or Steve was talking.
Hi guys! I won’t try for the t-shirt b/c I’ve never played OF:DR.
I would like to thank you for the kind words regarding my general love of all things BioWare, mainly the Mass Effect universe.

p.s.: Steve, ME:Retribution isn’t a prequel. ME:Revelation detailed Cptn Anderson’s mission with Saren that Anderson alludes to when Shepard makes Spectre. ME:Ascension takes place after ME1 and gives more details on Cerberus. ME:Retribution involves some characters from Ascension. Sorry to bust your balls, Steve.
I like a lot of firepower, so I would choose the M134.
Great show. Awesome guest!
Being a girl gamer and coming off Modern Warfare 2, I picked up this game because I was so excited that I had taught myself FPS. And as a girl I can say that we like explosions just like the guys. So, bring it on with the frag grenade! Although, I think my favorite is the sniper rifle. Who wants to be picked off when they’re not expecting it? Pick me! I wanna shirt! Yeah!
