So after several weeks away (they count it as 3), Dual Wielding is back. 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, what the heck is with that?

REALLY?

Quick note, there's a little more of the same mic interference on my end; I'm looking into it.

Surely you guys don't really call them that?

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."

Well the difference here, other than the joking is that both Uber and Default are Canadians, and they both represent two different areas of Canada, actually the far east and far west.

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

You guys are all freaks. Bag-el 4 life!

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

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
