There's a snazzy write-up on the site, but I just wanted to point out that the Canadians call a bagel, a bag-el

I say "Bayg-l".

How the fuck do you say it. - Because saying "That's how Canadians say ____" is as ignorant as saying "Americans actually say 'yee-haw'" just because of some dude in Alabama - or, if you prefer; like saying "Black people do talk in ebonics."

So found it odd that they both said it like that.

Re: Dual Wielding Ep 2: The Bag-El Incident

We're born with it, apparently

From Wikipedia:
The pronunciation and spelling of "bagel" varies among communities. In Canada, for instance, people from Toronto and Montreal, pronounce it like bay-gel, (the correct Yiddish pronunciation) -whereas people from the smaller towns of Northern Ontario and the east coast of Canada tend to pronounce the first syllable as bag-el, as in 'shopping bag' . In addition, some American bagel makers (particularly New England producer Zeppy's) spell the word "baigel", while maintaining the typical pronunciation.

So, uhh, first that's weird that someone researched this. Secondly, so there

Re: Dual Wielding Ep 2: The Bag-El Incident

First, its never weird when you find something on the internet. I discovered that clowns do more than bring kids joy recently....

Second, just because some of you Canadians got it wrong doesn't mean its right.

And in regards to the actual podcast, its odd that you folks mesh well together after a three week absence and only doing one show. Anthony even remedied my issue with segments just ending, though I guess next time could be done less obstructive :P

And finally in regards to the segment that dealt with Ant and I discussion. I would like to amend my statement, and say that I think graphics category should encompass all aspects.

I mean in the best interest, there should be a category for most technically sound game and most visually sound game, and they don't always have to be the same game. As he points out, games like Modern Warfare and stuff has an art style, but its so "generic" in a video game setting that it doesn't really stand out.

But on a technical level, you have to appreciate something like that. On the same hand, a game like Kirby would never win for sheer tech, but what it does with its resources creates a much more visually appealing game IMO.

So in conclusion, do away with graphics and split into visual/tech

Nerds on the Rocks/ Dual Wielding 7.11.10 Planning Thread

Instead of two separate threads a week, gonna try one single thread to plan both podcasts.

This week, The Nerds will go saiyan!
Nerds on the Rocks will focus on Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood which recently concluded. I mean to make it a bit more exciting for folks, it should also be a general anime discussion.

Question of the Week: :ohreilly: To Be Determined

Cocktail Chatter: The Usual

Dual Wielding
Whatcha Been Playing? The usual gang takes us through the games they've been enjoying

News Rundown: Information to be Added

Retro/Remix Section: TBD

So feel free to suggest topics for both casts and what have you.
