Another fine episode. Loved the Prince of Persia movie joke and the "heavy Cloud and occasional Squall" joke.

The weather bit was genius.

also with the PoP film are there actually people annoyed by that?

The Prince of Persia movie joke was probably the best part. And of course, the weather portion was quite funny as well.

Speaking as a Parrothead, it's spelled "Buffett" not "Buffet"

On topic, great episode guys. And when the hell is Heavy Rain coming out?!

Margaritaville the Game, eh?

"I'm sorry, Jimmy, but your salt shaker is in another bar."

Also, El Hideo looks fierce this year. Worse than 51 Sudamis...

Yeah, I'll be in the pun corner.

I can't help but feel that the weather metaphor fell a bit flat. It was kind of hard to follow the meaning at times. Other than that, the jokes were as good as ever.

Hopefully it will come with a Wii-mote attachment in the shape of a margarita glass.

"Nobody cares, Graham."

ENN is like the Daily Show of gamer culture. They deliver the goods of both information and humor without resorting to the kind of antics we see on Attack of the Show. As much as I like the folks on G4, LoadingReadyRun has catapulted into the lead position in my mind for this sort of infotainment.

I counted 25 separate weather related puns. Well done! :)
I guess it would be one of these [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HurricaneOfPuns], then?

I really can't tell what's going on, but that's because I have no audio.

You get your devil website out of here, between that page and the Escapist Forums I won't get a single thing done today!

OT, I guess I'm the only person who got a good laugh out of the elephant bit. Kind of a slow burn episode but it was all really funny. Nice job! This is easily one of my favorite segments to watch here every week, keep it up!

You can leave in a taxi. If you can't get a taxi, you can leave in a huff. If that's too soon, you can leave in a minute and a huff. *waggles cigar*

I didn't know Canada did the Poppy Appeal thing too. Nice guys! As for the episode, the PoP "Are you happy now" bit was brilliant and the "No-body cares" bit on WoW.
