What's the definition of a fierce competitor?

Someone who finishes first and third in the wanking competition.

Ha ha ha ha ha. Hey there, welcome to Midlife Game of Podcast episode 37. Today is the 12th of April 2009. My name is Darren Baudock. I am here in MLG HQ with my learned friend, Matthew Moore. How's things, Matt? You're looking a little broken, might I say. I'm not doing well.

Little hangover, are we? Yes. And you know what I'm like, it makes me ill and snotty and just miserable to be around. So I'm totally sorry if I'm sounding a bit, but I'm feeling worse than I'm. Well, I'm not having any meh on this show. So if you start getting meh, you're going to get some of this. Oh, God. Okay. Okay. More bell. Okay. Let's and roll. What we're going to be covering today. The usual stuff, I guess. Let's look at the menu. Okay. What we've been playing, what we've been doing. For starters. Let's have some news just after that. Main course. Retail Roundup. For dessert. Oh, and the cheese?

The cheese course has got to be the quiz. It certainly is, my friend. Okay, let's get straight into it. What have you been up to this week, Matt? Dude, I've been the busiest man in South Central. Come on. Quit smoking. Shame. No, that's a fucking awesome thing, right? No, respect you for that. uh... been out in the mornings for runs what's all that about

i don't know

and they No, that's a fucking awesome thing. Great, no, respects you for that. Been out in the mornings for runs. What's all that about? I don't know. And they either went to the gym. Why? Yesterday I went to the gym. Just to check where it was? I just wanted to see if I actually was still paying for it, and I was because it let me in. Hang on me. So how long ago did you join a gym?

Oh, I've been a member for a while, but I've not been... No, what do you mean by a while? Can you quantify that for me? Well, I've been a member of that gym since it opened, I think. Which was when? A couple years ago. And you're on some sort of monthly subscription? Yeah, yeah. Yeah? Do you know how much? No, but I know that I'm paying for two of them.

Oh my God.

But I went, a wasteful bastard. Oh, I know. I know. I know. But I went, and I did half an hour on the stridosaurus. The stridesaurus, the cross-trainer. Half an hour, man. People like, you make me sick. Who are? Because you've been paying for a fucking gym subscription for two bloody years, and you don't even know how much you're paying, and you've only just decided to turn up. What did they roll out the red carpet for you? Oh, this is the man, on average, you know, he's quota, where they look they look at his statistics oh the amount of time spent in gym per the amount he's spent he's like our platinum member

yeah man they like me i mean the ringing the bell as you went through the door oh mr more he's

finally arrived you fool i know sort that out cancel it no it. No, I'm going now.

You better be getting your money's worth. I will do, mate. I will. You're going to get a massage and everything. They don't... Actually, I don't know if they do. Maybe they do do massages. I don't know. I think you should demand massages because you are a platinum member. Well, I think... I think somebody needs to happen. I'll go down there

and I'll make things happen

Make it sound number one

Okay man

Other than that

I've been

Well tell you what

I'm I think something needs to happen. I'll go down there and make things happen. Make it sound number one. Okay, right, other than that, I've been... Well, I'll tell you what, I'll talk about the M Festival first. Which is, it's still going on now, actually. It started on Friday, and it will be going on until sometime tomorrow. So the M Festival is a... I think the biggest part of it really is the I-series.

I think it's the I-37 at the moment maybe, or 36, and it's just a big ass land.

Two and a half thousand massive geeks there take their own computers, they hook up, and they just play for four-day solid.
