    I do believe one of my requirements for letting you post this was a guest spot by your mom.

    Are we going to have to get Tube to convince her?

    I enjoyed it for about 10 minutes, but then I got bored when the novelty of your funny voices wore off.

    That's pretty much my comments on every podcast ever, though. So take that with a grain of salt.

    It's really when you hit that point that you realize that you belong on the Internet.

    Hey now. Hey. We're a British institution. You don't go telling the folks at Earls Court that they need an apostrophe.

    And for those interested, I'm using Logitech's Vantage USB headset for the PS3. It's actually very good.

    I looked just the other day, Ste posted about it on his blog: September 1st apparently

    He doesn't say anything about eurogamer though, seems odd.

    I'm really liking the feedback we've got so far, from various places. It's very encouraging. We'll be doing a couple of tests over the next couple of days to ensure that Lewie's sound is adequate on Friday. :)

    In other news, I just fixed up the RSS feed for the site to work with podcatchers. It's right here. Just add it to iTunes or Juice or whatever and it'll automatically download every week.

    Listening to it now, and it's pretty good. I'm American, so I don't get much from the deals, but I love listening to British accents for 2 hours and the commentary is good and entertaining. Good work, and I echo the sentiment that LPM needs to get on this.

    Are you eventually getting an iTunes feed?

    The feed should work in iTunes already. It's not on the iTunes store yet (they want my CC info for some reason), but if you copy/paste the feed URL into Advanced>Subscribe to Podcast it'll work dandy.

    Hahahahaha. Oh god, I just started listening. The intro music is hilarious.

    *snickers* English accents are funny.

    As I posted on Savygamer, I wanted to share my dreadful (and not serious) suggestions:

    - "Savyinformer"
    - "Computer Using Northerners Talk Savy" The abbreviation may be an issue however.
    - "Deals, diatribes and digressions" (Because everyone loves alliteration and it isn't at all tacky)
    - "Buy Gamers, for gamers" because you do bargains which people "buy". Gettit? Or if you get another two people involved you could have:
    - "Buy Gamers, four gamers".

    I'll get my coat.
