This could be you! (and us)
As some of you may have noticed we’ve fallen behind in our podcast schedule. Not to worry, we just weren’t too enthused about the topics we had.
So it was suggested by Jones that we do another “Listener Mailbag” episode. If you’ve got a question about the podcast, Ben’s projects, our movies, the website, why the forums are still phpBB2, whatever place them below in the comments section. We’ll pick the interesting ones to answer on the podcast which will return next week on its regular time.
NOTE: As of now the question submission is done, thanks for your input and we’ll see you on the podcast!
Hey guys, Jimmy here long time listener first time commenter from Sydney Australia. Just wanted to let you know Ben, your accent in possumus man 2 was very bad. Was it deliberate?
Is there anything left that you have a burning desire to mod, but have just been swamped with other projects?
Are you nervous about eventual next-gen consoles and the pressure to do something fantastic with them?
Hi! Try to go to iTunes, dude!I’m an iPod based listener.
Jones said last time that the Fight Club movie isn’t good enough for him. I guess that is the best movie ever!
Ben! Don’t you want to install modern computers into retro cases? I guess the mac mini is the ideal donor for those projects
Keep going!

How’s the pinball machine coming?
Oh hell… didn’t see the end of Eric M’s question… never mind.

When you start (FINALLY) listening to your public, and loading the site with Viagra ads (again… FINALLY), will you attempt a sponsorship with them, or will you just promote their wonderful blood pressure medication out of the goodness of your heart?
It’s been said before, but seriously, how is Bill Paxton Pinball coming?

Ben: what training ( collage, uni, anything ) led you to becoming what you are today? And what is your job? (apart from director and actor)
What are noth of your top ten rock band (1, 2, DLC…) songs and why?
Tried the Wii version of rock band 2 for comparisons sake?
How many beers did it take to complete the N64 portable?
Imagine this scenario:
You’re on a desert island about 1000 miles away from home. You can take a safe plane home, or you could take a zeppelin full of MDG beer home. But if you take the zeppelin full of beer, you will be chased by some angry Russian guys in airplanes who are trying to shoot you down. The zeppelin has a mounted 50 caliber machine gun though so you have a chance to shoot down the angry Russian people.
Would you take the plane or the zeppelin?
