Great podcast. And the setup that BigJoe has for Dirt 2, I have that exact same setup down to the shifter being the E-Brake.

Another fun one fellas, I haven’t had a alcoholic drink for eleven months and you toasting and clinking bottles really made me for the first time really want to rush to the local store and buy a pack but I have become so used to having a clear head I made do with a very British cup of tea lol. I am one of those people who likes to step into Arma 2 time to time but if your going to play the game you cant sit for 20 or 30 mins it is more like 2 to 3 plus hrs needed for any kind of decent gameplay and from personel experiance of being in the military it is by far the most realistic war simulator ever on pc but scary how serious alot of the players are in actual reality with clans where they use there game ranks in real life referring to each of as sgt or colonel etc lol all very weird and pyhscologicaly a bit of a fuc@ing problem with them but that is my thoughts about it anyway

Awesome podcast guys. I tried the ARMA 2 demo and wasn’t a huge fan. The Max Payne hack was hilarious. I am with Josh on the wired mice issue. I had a wireless mouse and every now and then it would reset, which meant my FPS veiw would look straight up into the sky and spin for a few seconds. After the 3rd time I tried to crush it in my hand. I wasn’t that strong so I immediatly tossed it and got a Razer Diamondback which has been fantastic.
