I would like to personally thank Ben Meyer and Rob Wright for what has been, in my opinion, the best "Second Take" episode by far. The whole thing had me laughing, and was also very informative, as I'm not one to sit with bated breath as E3 covers games that will come out. Also, it was about 15 minutes long; when your whole week is spent solely on anticipating the next webisode on one of your favorite websites, isn't it disappointing when it's short-lived???
Anyway, keep up the good work! And my only complaint is that you said Travis Barker is a good drummer, which I highly disagree with. But that's for another place, I suppose.

Innovative, no, but highly in demand.
Sven co-op for half life got coop started again, gears of war brought it to the mainstream and showed everyone there is a sure market for coop in shooters.
I'm one of those people that prefers coop to head-to-head competition as far as online pc-gaming goes. Less drama and cheating in coop games; you get a good, clean, fun play experience with your friends instead of a shout-fest with kiddies.
Aside from which, i'm getting older; I can't keep up with 14 year old turbo gamerkids who play 12 hours a day all summer 
For a few seconds there I couldn't figure out how the award for best death scene didn't go to any of those highly anticipated games. But when you awarded the E3 floor, I was dying with laughter! 
Great episode guys! It is very refreshing to get some good sarcasm to break up the overly serious and usually unwarranted hype.
