While it had gone away for a while, the main host has now started doing a tounge sucking noise everytime he opens his mouth. It's not that obvious if you are just listening on external speakers with the volume low, but if you are listening on headphones, it gets quite evident, and can get kind of annoying. Also they are not shy about chewing and slurping drinks directly into the microphone. Other than these slight audio issues, the show is great, and I highly recommend it."

Closer: Justin Epperson, "Well, I can't believe we've done 200 episodes. Coincidentally, that’s the number of free games that Mark has gotten that he’s never played. Roy, where’d you go Roy? Knock twice if you’re still here. I have really high hopes for Graeme. He’s going to go real far. But John, if you don’t get him some games to translate, he might stay there. Dermot, wherever you are, I wish you all the luck in the future. You’ve got really tiny shoes to fill. Sorry Sarah, we all miss you. And then who could forget our beloved Hiroko? Mm, mm. Yeah. And then finally John. We never had a Sega retrospective, because everybody knows you’re a Nintendo fanboy. And then this is where John is like “Well I have all these old Sega systems, and I got all this stuff.” And John we know. I have black friends too. And so I just wanted to say I bid farewell. I thank all the fans for supporting me over the years. And hopefully you won’t unfollow me now that you can’t bug me about internships."
