The most interesting question regarding the Sanford case is who had access to his and/or his mistress' emails, for how long and why did they decide to out him? Furthermore, after the initial outing, what lead to the final contact pointing out his flight to the reporters on the case? This informant obviously monitored Sanford for a very long while, what else did they learn?

Thanks for the heads-up on the Anvil documentary, Jeff. It was both funny and painful to watch at times, but by the end I was moved to tears. Like all good documentaries, it got me thinking about much more than just the subject matter. Everyone should see this.
'The freedom to be creative and fight however you want comes from the well-tuned game balance that makes whatever you decide to do a viable way to take part in the battle.'
'No one can predict what memories will be made in any given battle, but that's what makes the game so addictive.'
'The possibilities are almost limitless, and once you've been in thick (sic) of your first skirmish, you'll be itching for the next.'
And this guy's one of the best left.
Twist what Roger Ebert said: video game reviews are not art. But neither are movie reviews.
This is not entirely true, Newton didn't publish "Principia Mathematica" until 45, also Copernicus released "Revolution of the Heavenly Spheres" at 70. I'm not tryin to be a douche I thought I'd just point that out, if you guys ever get the chance to read books by Dean Keith Simonton he has some great books on Genius and talent:
"Greatness"
http://books.google.com/books?id=hkflmZW51sMC&printsec=frontcover&dq=greatness
"Origins of Genius"
http://books.google.com/books?id=LcB2kOXT-68C&printsec=frontcover&dq=greatness&source=gbs_similarbooks_s&cad=1
Anyways it was a great show, good to see you guys recording so soon after the last episode! If you guys get the chance to share some of your thoughts on these books I'd be interested. Thanks!

I found this while looking for some video. It sells the movie far better than I can. The first of the two parts anyways.
Watching the Anvil trailer, I have to say I figured it was a Spinal Tap mockumentary clone. It doesn't help that one of the guys is actually named Robb Reiner. I figured all the cameos with real metal guys was all set up. Same situations, same reactions, same rocker personalities. I would never have guessed it was a real story. Art imitates life imitates art.
On the other hand, This is Spinal Tap may have been too realistic. From Wikipedia:
Robert Plant, Dee Snider and Ozzy Osbourne all reported that, like Spinal Tap, they had become lost in confusing arena backstage hallways trying to make their way to the stage. Singer Tom Waits claimed he cried upon viewing it and Eddie Van Halen has said that when he first saw the film, everyone else in the room with him laughed as he failed to see the humor in the film. "Everything in that movie had happened to me," Van Halen said. When Dokken's George Lynch saw the movie he is said to have exclaimed, "That's us! How'd they make a movie about us?"
(also, the wraparound cover for issue 1 has to be seen to be believed)
On the subject of achieving greatness at certain ages I think that these most frequently happen not just before 30 but also after 60.
Before 30 you've got everything to gain, after 60 you've got nothing to lose and inbetween life has a lot of other things (not so much things as people; family) that take a lot of importance and require much more practicality and personal sacrifice.
Specifically I'm thinking about Will Eisner. When he was young he made the Spirit. When he was old he made A Contract with God and the other graphic novels after that. Inbetween he made illustrations for the army and did other 'real' work.
Then there are painters and directors who find renewed drive or freedom in or for their creativity at a late stage in their lives that seem brighter then their achievements when they were young. Even actors.
But from my limited knowledge in the music medium it does seem that in this modern age few musicians manage to find either a first or second creative peak in their late life. Now musicians are much more like athletes. When once the composer or director was the one who had the fame, now it's all about the performance.

Not sure what to call that, a critique of the video?

There you go, guys. Always remember that our forefathers fought and died to defend our "right to lol". :)

In any case, I found the whole discussion during the podcast -- especially on Jeff's end -- a bit self-righteous. I'm not taking issue with your standing as a writer or right to blast someone; it just seemed distasteful to me. I've always enjoyed listening to you when you were with 1Up, but it's a shame to hear you kicking dirt at someone who has stumbled.

I must say, the man doesn't really do too well with words, critical thought OR facts. It really does read like a 6th grade paper.
@LateNiteGamer
Is this some huge dream of his? It should be painfully obvious that he is a quite horrible review writer and I would have thought somebody would have told him before it came to this...

The experience more than sufficiently teaches that men govern nothing with ugg bailey button more difficulty than their tongues. ugg boots experience never misleads; what you are missed by is only your judgement, and this misleads you by anticipating results from ugg classic cardy experience of a kind that is not produced by your experements.
