Can I make a minor complaint about how you post these? You always include an audio player and a link to iTunes, but you never include the direct download link. I have to click through to get it from the Libsyn page. (As somebody that podcasts regularly, I tend to be leery of Libsyn ... it's rather finicky at times.)

Could you include the link in your posts? Pretty please?

Love these things guys. Wish there were more. I'm what you would call a serious gamer and I love sport video games (currently 43 in the world in nhl). As I don't have any friends that love video games as much as I do let alone sports video games it's great to hear other people that are as passionate as I am. Thank you everyone!

Actually, there is a link in every post. It goes to this page, which has a download link. Am I understanding you correctly?

I mean a direct download link -- for example, THIS (which I can immediately right click and save). Libsyn pages have a tendency to load like crap when there's anything resembling above-normal demand. (That's why the podcast network I'm with abandoned Libsyn entirely to host our own stuff on our own site.)

Like I said, though, it's a minor complaint. I just hate it when I need to reload a few times to get the page going.

Re: Press Row Podcast - Reviews Roundup

Another great show. Was pretty surprised at Owens thoughts about The Golf Club, I don't quite think he 'gets' what the aim of this game is, it's focus is mainly on the social side of gaming/golf. Yes it is trying to be sim, but it basically is about getting out there with some buddies and having fun. He said himself he played it 3 times, surely not enough to have formed a solid opinion, especially a harsh one as he had. Give it some time Owen, play with some friends and have some FUN!!!
