Wasn't Michael Ironside in that one?

Sounds like it has a lot to do with Remote Viewing (aka Astral Projection)

Isn't it amazing how everyone tends to laugh or rollseyes when stuff like this is mentioned or presented but yet the government and military actually had real sanctioned projects set up testing it.

Blows my mind.

[Shane R. Monroe]

I will discuss my own personal experience with astral projection in a future show. I had forgotten about it.

Imagine what sort of legit studies the Germans did? Enough to make a LOT of games based on it at least :)

[Nectar]

We're all made of the same code and deep within that reptilian brain is knowledge of any and everything that ever existed, happened, or is happening. In this way, I can believe in remote viewing and dismiss it at the same time. There's no question that what projectors see are hallucinations.

Our brains have created computers, medicines, buildings, and machines that can rip through the fabric of space and time, yet to close your eyes and see forms indistinguishable from reality is clearly something "beyond". You're doing it right now. Everytime we visualize, remember, or imagine, we actually see it in our minds. The vision's just not as powerful as our minds are consumed by waking consciousness. Shut the external world out however, and the doors open.

Great read.

[javierdlopez]

Just listened to your show... Just as I was ready to puke a little into my mouth (as you can imagine, I'm no Michael Moore fan), something funny happened. As you began talking about the L4D marketing campaign, a Miami-Dade Metro Bus drove in front of me with a L4D banner on the side. So to answer your question, I guess its not just Phoenix. :)

[Shane R. Monroe]

ROTFLOL ... imagine the ad monies being pumped into this game.

[javierdlopez]

I have a feeling l4d2 isn't going to sell as good as last year's. I never considered L4D a complete game to begin with, but being the first one, I guess they had to sell it at full price. $60 for what should be considered an expansion pack?

Most of us informed gamers know that this will be on sale for $50 before Christmas and easily be marked down to the $30-$40 range by spring... Even at $40 I think I would mostly pass on this...

What a waste of marketing dollars... They should have used that money on something else. :)

[Womp]

Considering it has more preorders already than the original did, I'd say it will be a success. Frankly, I don't even like the characters in this new one to begin with. Bah.

I was listening to the show and heard your distinction between cobwebs and spider webs and thought “I never knew that!”, so I looked it up and it turns out that's not true at all! So the moral or the story is don't just believe what you hear.

About those spiders though. I don't really know anything about American spiders, are there spiders around the Phoenix area that are dangerous or is it just a phobia thing? I remember you mentioning Australian spiders in a previous episode so I assume the spiders where you live must be pretty harmless.

There are poisonous spiders in Arizona. But I think it was also a Phobia thing on top of that. :)

Moore does look up from time to time.

You caught me ... I shot from the hip with that one ... it made so much sense, I figured it was right. Remember, I don't do any research or preplanning on the show :) I'd be curious your source - a quick google search seemed to concur with my thoughts. Here is one example (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20060721044453AA84rWy).

There are venomous spiders pretty much everywhere in the US. In Washington State, as I mentioned, the spiders come BIG and AGGRESSIVE (no need to look it up - I lived in a nest of the bastards. However, the most "dangerous" spiders we had there were the Black Widow (easily found in pretty much every home if you knew where to look). The Brown Recluse has been a popular emerging spider also up there. We have those down here too.

Desert regions host Tarantulas - most of which I understand are big and scary, but NOT venomous.

BTW, here is a little taste of Australian spiders (http://www.xs4all.nl/~ednieuw/australian/Spidaus.html) .... shudder... I watched some Discovery show on spiders and snakes - and pretty much everything scary lived ALSO in Australia ... WTF.
