    Dinorex said something about doing it on the 28th, possibly about Hudson Soft since Konami are murdering them.

    I think a Legend of Dragoon episode is sorely needed.

    Nice podcast guys, haven't listened to it all yet but good stuff. Would defo listen to more, I'd say it would be good craic listening to some other folk and their views on things. I was a bit disappointed that your webpage background wasn't a playable version of PacMan though. :(

    I always thought it was pronounced "mem" although I rarely congregate with other internet nerds in real Life so haven't heard it spoken aloud. :pac:

    I say "meh meh" but one of the lads says "meem" and it wreaks my head, I think if it should be said meem it should have been spelled that way.
    Wiki says it's 'meem'

    miːm in the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) denotes 'meem'. That pointless linguistics class I had to take in my undergrad comes in handy sometimes :P

    Press the little speaker over on this page: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/meme (as Steve SI also pointed out above while I was typing this :pac:)

    The only way we can verify this any further is to contact the great Dawkins himself!

    I don't have a huge amount of time to put in to researching stuff so very happy to have anyone on board to talk on the thing.

    The radio studio is in Coolock on the northside of Dublin. If anyone wants to record one before the 28th then let me know. 28th is a saturday so might easier to get those who are further afield in.

    Retiring my launch DS phat today. It's been seven years, and its still running like an absolute boss after I refused to answer the call of multiple hardware revisions. There were tough times - mostly Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan related - but they were good times, one and all. Here's to the sturdiest piece of hardware in recent memory. We shall meet again, brave prince.

    True that. The first fat DS I got was run over by a van and despite a cracked screen and unresponsive, but intact touch screen it powered up and still played games.

    RE6 trailer is a fine example of how not to make one.

    I can take skype calls in Studio 4. Skype can be a bit hit and miss though.

    I can also take regular phone calls and put them through the desk in the bigger studio 3 and it can be just like the Joe Duffy show.
