Yescombe is quite possibly the funniest guy in the games industry. every vid i've seen he cracks me up. i usually dont like overly loud, in-your-face personalities....but this guy is a legend.

Man, Rob Yescombe comes across as such a loudmouth, opinionated jackass. Listening to this podcast you could hear the GS crew struggling like they were trying to ignore the annoying, loud, drunk Thatcherite has-been uncle at a funeral. Please don't have him back again...I gave up listening half way through, his voice grated me no end. I'd worry if he was my point-man for a game's PR...

Yescombe is a legend! Nice podcast guys, I love how abruptly you ended it as well. Was that due to the fact ,that the only way you could only get him to shut up was by gagging him and getting his assistant to shuffle him out of the door?

Hello. I randomly started listening to your podcast from a hit on itunes, and I love it, makes me laugh so much its embaressing, people stare at me on the bus. This one was awesome as well, very funny but incredibly cringeworthy!

Was just wondering , I'm a bit obsessed with Spore and really REALLY want to play it, now, I hear they ar erealeasing the one of the editors as a kind of demo but that you have to pay for the full version and then buy the game as well aftewards.... or somehting... could you help clear up the details at all? I'm too lazy to google... Hazy

Wow, that was easily one of the funniest podcasts so far. I really want to play Haze but I don't have a PS3, hope it sells well though. Keep up the great podcastness.

Thats was a great show... Rob is insane, but in a good way. This podcast was probably the best one in a very long time! I'd say it was one of the best podcast's in GS history, and thats saying something!

I was wondering if you guys are in the Age of Conan beta, and if so; what where you're thoughts on it. The EULA was dropped on the 30 of February if I'm not mistaken. So yeah, again; great show.

Can-napes Guy? Not canapes? Rob just as utterly insane as ever, if not more so. He must have given Luke a highfive every five minutes. I also swear that someone swore after Guy said "what in crikey" (yes, he's definitely from the 19th Century). Best show yet?
