Weekend Confirmed Episode 52
by Garnett Lee, Mar 18, 2011 11:00am PDTWeekend Confirmed celebrates our one year anniversary in style with your help, great games, and special guest James Stevenson, senior community manager for Insomniac Games. He joins the two Jeffs and Garnett for a massive show that wastes no time getting started in Whatcha' Been Playin? with games like Dragon Age 2, Homefront, Ghost of Sparta, and Tera to name a few. The Warning this week comes entirely from listener submitted questions and topics and it fuels some spirited discussions. And the news in the Front Page covers info on the impact of the Tohoku earthquake on the video game industry, February NPD sales figures, a couple of game announcements, and more.

I know podcasts aren't supposed to be this much fun or supposed to make me care so much. Ever since 1up, Garnett Lee has carried my weekends into completion. I cannot say enough how much I enjoy Weekend Confirmed and how much happiness it gives me. I really appreciate you guys taking times out of your busy schedules to talk about the games you love, the topics of the gaming industry that interest you, and your engagement with your online community. You guys inspire me to continue believing that my passion for games need not be questioned.
Garnett, you are the Phoenix that has arisen from the ashes and you truly have created the most focused, engaging, and entertaining podcast that I have ever had the pleasure if listening to(even with the Crystal Skull vodka). You truly are a master of your craft and we are all lucky to have such a man as yourself at the helm.
Jeff C., your wicked energy and wit really complement Garnett Lee. You two are a duo that make the internet a better place(which aint an easy thing to do).
You guys really inspire me to follow my dreams. You guys stick with what you love to do and you've been able to make a career that you are proud to have and have fun doing f it. Even though I don't know you personally, I feel like you guys are a part of my life and you make it better each and every week. Passion is contagious and you guys have plenty of it.
Congratulations on one hell of a year and I look forward to many more.
Sincerely,
John E.
