This is episode 317.

It's May 21st, 2013.

My name is Nick Henderson.

Two-mile right is Brad Simons.

Hello. He posted the quote,

sorry. He posted the quote from Phil Harrison. Wait, so he posted the quote from the NeoGath Forum. No, he just made it up, actually. $1,000. He just made it up. Nolan Headstron's

journey. Can you please post the link where you found that quote?

How's it got everybody?

Since Nolan doesn't believe it. And my name is Mike Hidalgo Pittman. Thank you guys for having us this evening. Are we having me this evening? Yeah. It's good for you to be. It's always good to have you on the show, Mike. Thanks, guys. All right. So. Oh god, what are we starting on?

We are not starting on?

We are not starting on Microsoft's announcement yet.

We're going to first let that topic cool off a little bit.

We had some interesting conversation prior to recording this podcast.

We need to let that cool off a little bit.

So in the meantime, let's talk about games we've been playing. We took a week off last week because Brad was out of town. We were playing Metro Last Light on the feed. So why don't we start there? Wait, am I the only one here who's played Metro Last Light? I think so. I think so. Okay, no one played a little bit of Metro Last Light.

Oh, wait, I heard with Metro Last Light, you have to pay for Ranger mode or Hard Mode. Is that true? You have to pre-order the game to get Ranger Mode, and then I think if you didn't... And you got to pay... So you have to pay $5 to get Hard Mode. Yes. That's what it goes down to. That strikes me as kind of a situation in which they, because you know the whole thing of THQ, how it used to be owned by THQ, and then THQ fell out, and then they had the auction, everyone bought it up. Deep Silver picked up Metro last light, and that strikes me as the, uh okay we spent a whole bunch of money

in this game we got to find a way to recoup some of that money so we have to find

something we can pull out of the game and sell as content additional content so let's pull

out the hard mode I mean that's I mean that's my estimate I don't freaking know why they

did that it's kind of dumb yeah I don't like that yeah I didn't think you would because I'm sure that'd be the mode you would jump straight into. Yeah, yeah, yeah, having to pay an extra five bucks to do, you know, what was normally in the game. It's kind of silly. Yeah. It's kind of one of the things we were talking about that that's kind of the wrong direction for DLCc to go oh yeah like the exact opposite wrong direction there's all i mean like there's only
