How can I listen to the podcast? Do you have to have iTunes or Zune? I have Rhapsody but would love to check it out. I'm kind of new to the podcast thing.

There is a link to the MP3 on the front page (follow the link above to the story) so you can just download directly to your PC/mobile device. Hope you like it.

You can directly download each episode as an MP3. Your browser might have the capability to play MP3 files too. Just go to http://www.8bitbrigade.com/content.php?186-Brigadier-Broadcast-Episode-31 and click the "Episode XX" link (right before the date) to download or stream the MP3. Hope that helps. :)

Nice! I was looking for a link to download it. I didn't realize Episode 31 was a clickable link. Just a friendly suggestion, maybe you should add a "click here" link or maybe make the links a different color than just black. To us noobs, we may have trouble finding it. When I looked at the page, I didn't even realize they were links. Other than that, it looks great and I will listen right now.

Good suggestion. I may not take the time to update the 31 existing episode pages, but I'll definitely add some "Click here to download" text going forward. Thanks for the feedback! :)

This is an unresolved issue when using the Eloquent Black forum skin. Its the one I use as well and anything posted as a link looks just like plain text.

Sure! That would be awesome!

WTF, AC: Brotherhood stole the "act like the AI" kill the target from a small game at e3 last year or the year before.

It was a sniper watching a dinner party and one player is trying to kill a target during that party, and the sniper needs to take them out before the murder happens. They had a rough demo of it this last e3.

There was actually a PC game called The Ship that's a bit closer to what AC:Brotherhood is doing. I wouldn't say it's "stealing" anything - it's just a very similar concept. It's a natural fit for the existing AC gameplay, and it works really well.

BTW, the game you're talking about is called Spy Party and won't be out for a while yet. It looks pretty cool from what I've seen.

I like the premise NJ described - just like I like the premise in the new AssCreed. The series as a whole seems to be on the upswing. The second is worlds better than the first.

I'm really glad to hear that you're liking AC2. I agree - the first one was a rough proof-of-concept stretched out into a mediocre game. The second game was excellent - it was nearly my pick for GOTY last year.

I am kind of geeking out on how it appears they are going to integrate the de Medici family into the story. The history of that family alone is worthy of a movie.

AssCreed is the best way you could think of to shorten the title?

Not the best... the most juvenile!
