This episode was solid, the segment with Mike was great. However I was really hoping for something similar to the last two anniversary shows. I liked seeing the "best of" that the viewers voted on and then seeing the guys talk about them. Don't get me wrong it was definitely a good episode but I hope next year that they return to a format similar to last year and the year before.

Great episode guys. Congratulations on 3 Years. Congrats on the year anniversary Mike. I definitely regard the release of each new episode as a blessing. It's also great to see each of you doing other things outside of TRS. Mike is a real talent and I'm sure he's got a big future.

My mate and I have made a point to watch the show every Friday night for the last 3 years and I have TRS to thank for getting us through some petty arguments over the years. We've had our share of disagreements but it's been sitting down on a Friday night to watch TRS that's smoothed things over. Our screenings of TRS generally last much longer than the running time as we pause to discuss and debate things ever 5 minutes. Well done!

Well I think we know who was the 80's guy voice.

I think it's because TRS doesn't have a 30FPS option. The other shows have HD and HD (30FPS) but TRS only has HD. It used to have both, like the rest of the shows, but if you look to subscribe the 30FPS option isn't there. So you either have to make all the other shows in your "One RSS feed to rule them all" in just regular HD (24FPS I think?). Or, do what I did and have every other show you like in your epic feed and use the regular HD feed from TRS.

Maybe Revision3 doesn't know.

epic episode!

great work guys.. love the show, watch it every week!
Loved the tribute to the little effects that happen when the guys are just talking normally. The dirt, water and fire one was epic.

Yea, kind of defeats the point of having an epic feed. The next evolution of it (the feed) should be to downgrade to the next best one if the show doesn't have the option you selected (HD 30FPS).

I'm glad you are enjoying FFXIII Jeff, even as early as you are in it. You gain full control of your party choices after Chapter 10, and about 30 hours into the game. That being said, that still is only half way through the game. I finished the game at 60 hours. Another interesting aspect, especially if you love the fighting mechanics (which I definitely do), is that after you beat the main story, it allows you to continue playing your characters and to warp back to Gran Pulse to do all the side missions. Many of those missions don't open up until after you finish the game. Also, you gain the ability to finish off your crystarium leveling after you beat the game, but only after. Because the optional bosses that you fight after you beat the game are much much more difficult than the final boss is, and they want the final boss fight to be a bit more challenging than it would be if you had fully buffed (godlike) characters. So the open world game where you can do sidequests and go pretty much anywhere you want, actually ends up happening after the game is over this time. Some people may not be fond of that, but for me it was chocolate pudding.
