I'd like to hear a similar discussion when Dragonball Evolution comes out. Somehow, that movie sounds even worse than Legend of Chun Li.

Also, I bet someone has already emailed a correction that Lark did give Final Fantasy IV a 9.0 like Tom said, not a 8.5.

So are you officially calling out Jeff on his Ocarina of Time review? Oh, it's on now!

BLAP BLAP BLAP! Video game criticism just got critiqued! (warning: explicit lyrics)

Anyway, nice show this week. I enjoyed the haikus and the spoilers.

You guys have been insulting Navi for almost a month now.

Anyway please stop the movie talk, it bores me to tears. Everything else is great though. Keep up the good work!

Sometimes when you watch horrible movies, you have to share your suffering with the podcast listeners.

Dear Tom Mc Shea,

I know we all make pronounciation mistakes, but if you are going to continue to refer to Herzog Zwei as one of the greatest Genesis games of all time, I would appreciate it if you could use the proper pronounciation:

Herzog Zwei

It is German for "Duke II" . . . but not to be confused with Duke from GI Joe.

If you do this, I promise to spell check my entries more often.

I still love The HotSpot and continue to listen religiously. Keep the game-related movie discussion coming. I will never see that cinema trash, but listening to you discuss it brings a smile to my face.

K, thx

No Tom Mc Shea? Hopefully my comments were not cause for him to not be on. I meant no offense.

I look forward to that hat-eating video, Kevin.

I guess Kevin's going to be eating a hat, seeing as Famitsu revealed that the game Tecmo was talking about is Ninja Gaiden Sigma II. I look forward to seeing the video.

Well, Lark did say he'd record Kevin eating a hat, so I think we're covered. Well, as long as he posts the footage that is.

So what do you guys think about DLC that comes out on the disc, but is charged extra for?

I don't like it. We shouldn't have to pay extra just to get access to something that's already on the disc, especially when we're paying $60 per game. At that price I expect to get the whole game, instead of only half of it.

So how about some ideas for that edible hat? I've got nothing.

I would have preferred a real hat, but I guess you can't always win.

Someone posted a link in the comments section of the HotSpot page to a site that has a bunch of hat's made of meat. Maybe they could use one of those. Unless, of course, they can't be cooked. Probably not a good idea to make Kevin eat made of raw meat. We don't want to kill him after all.

Last podcast of the month is up.

I can't believe we're a quarter of the way through 2009 already. What happened to Q1?!?!?

I know. It feels like the year began just yesterday, and now we're already a quarter of the way through the year. At this rate, the year will be over before we know it, and then we'll be wondering what happened to 2009.
