Hey! What’s with all the jaso hating? Two things,
1. Even if I had a net connection, that doesn’t mean I could Skype on it. It was G3 Macintosh and I had no mic… :(
2. Beej, you got your stuff. ’nuff said.
I suppose I am a little harsh on Japan, but I do like to balance it out. Le sigh. At least Eryn likes me…(puppy dog eyes)
Let’s stop the hating!
Oh Jason, we’re sorry. But you should know that we HAVE to hate on any long running member who’s out of the loop. Otherwise we have so little to talk about! Did you hear how fast we zoomed through our topics?!
In short, it’s good to have you back. Let the jasoLove-fest begin!
I’m very glad Dia-cast has come down in its time. While its enjoyable to listen to an hour and a half can get long.
Isn’t Dai-cast officially a year old now? I’d send a cupcake with a candle on it but… while food can transfer through the internet connection I’m not sure how it would handle a lit candle. And somehow the food always manages to lose its flavor through transfer anyway.
