Where's my B.O.Y. scholarship?

It was a pleasure to finally be on this show. It was fun, and Brett's rants were classic.

Very glad to see you went with the Sony Offline Entertainment title lol Sony and Microsoft need to get their online issues resolved as I'm paying too much a year to put up with this nonsense.
