I don't think I've ever been called a "ringer" before. Thanks!

@Aaron - Wait a second... when did you leave Twitter?!?! I've been @ replying you like an idiot on multiple occasions!

Quality episode as usual, guys. I enjoyed listening to all of the New Year's resolutions, and can relate to many of them.

Spencer Gregory

In relation to the first topic, about devising "favourite" lists versus "best" lists, I can't see the difference between the two. I would think that, logically, a person favors that which has the best quality. Your favourite food isn't one that tastes bad or one you don't like eating; it's the one you want to eat the most. There's no difference between favourite and best, since people naturally favor things with high quality.

Jon Cole

Then where is the space for "guilty pleasures", Spencer? 50 Cent Blood on the Sand would probably land in my top 20 games of 2009 because I enjoyed it quite a bit, but it wouldn't consequentially land in my best 20 games of 2009 because a lot of the pleasure I derive from it is from what I consider a highly unusual sense of humor.

Man, I love that intro song.

@Aaron I think maybe you just love Ed Tremblay.

@Spencer I think you used a word in your statement that perfectly explains why "Favorite" and "best" aren't always the same, and that's logically. You see the thing is, people aren't logical now are they? 8)

This vacation has been pretty good to me, I've beaten 3 games since the semester ended. Finally working on beating Dark Cloud now. Well on my way to reaching my bench mark.
