Well, 52 episodes that I have listened to religiously! Well done guys. Looking forward to hearing live shows eventually. And don’t forget “TECH OF THE WEEK”
Well, thanks for an entertaining, informative show!
Hey guys
Nice work on 52 Episodes from The Digital Edge team.
PS: I’ve bought a 42-inch Plasma before that didn’t have a tuner and didn’t need a TV License.
I said it on email and I’ll repeat- you guys cannot claim to be at the “full deck” anniversary for another two weeks, because your deck has to include the jokers!
Great job, from a poor luddite across the pond who’s only been here for the second half of the show.
True Blood = Twin Peaks with vampires? More like Soft Porn with Vampires. I always wonder why they have to spoil a good story with so much soft porn, maybe trying to sell to a certain market.
Thanks for the great show. Glad you enjoyed the bubbly. Here’s to many more episodes and going live in the near future!
Radio or podcasting is ‘theatre of the mind’ and I am looking forward to getting more of your insights over the coming year into what is going on in this crazy world of technology, business and digital lifestyle.
Eish, you guys spoiled my experience of other podcasts. Because of your well put together and intelligent reparte` I can’t listen to any podcasts where there is only one person talking anymore.
Keep up the good work 
Well freaking done okes. Here’s to the next year and many to follow!
On the subject of the top 100 games (I haven’t seen Stuff’s list yet). But all the LucasArts classics have to be in there somehwere:
- Day of the Tentacle
- Sam & Max Hit the Road
- Indiana Jones & the Fate of Atlantis
- Full Throttle
Also, any of you remember the Fade to Black and Flashback series? How about Fantasmagoria? Groundbreaking stuff man.

Hi
Congrats on the anniversary! I’ve been enjoying the show since day one. Maybe I should change my name to geekazoid.
