While I agree that one could tool a demo to be awesome but the game "eh" I can't actually remember a time when I've been stoked enough by a demo to buy a game and then regret it.

Sorry for the late comment, but I was behind on my podcasts again. Thanks for reading my e-mail and discussing my comments, which I sent too late for the previous podcast. I'm glad that the e-mail was still relevant, even if the Mason-Dixon comment wasn't anymore.
Great show as always. I especially related to the discussion about meeting game-playing friends. I'm still in school, so I'm able to find people to play board games, card games, role-playing games, etc. easily through a club on campus. But computer games have been more difficult. Steam's community features have helped significantly, but I don't play all my games through Steam. I recently gave Xfire another try, and it seems significantly more robust and stable than it was a few years back, when I last installed it.
I'm a little concerned that, once I enter the "real world" next year, I won't be able to find another regular gaming crew, but I figure that, with all the social networking tools around these days, it shouldn't be too difficult. Still, any advice on the best way to find gamer friends in a new town? Any good websites for finding/recruiting people for a gamer crew? And don't say Craig's List or eBay...
Seriously, I think trying to do that online anonymously may yield some unsavory characters, but it sure would be easier than calling around to find an appropriate gaming store/community. Maybe I should just post on the GWJ forums once I know where I'm going to be.

I'm in Salisbury, and am not unsavory. I, contrary to popular thought, taste quite good.

I second Elysium's remark, but I do appreciate the implicit offer to hang out. I'm up at school in Pennsylvania most of the year, but maybe at some point, we can arrange a meet-up of all the Salisburian GWJers, i.e. the two of us. Maybe play co-op Halo 3, as I don't have a 360 and am dying to get through the single-player campaign in that.
