  NOTE: This was also cross posted in the otakugeneration LJ community. Shownotes :: (show 070) :: (website) :: (podcast feed) :: (direct download) :: (direct iTunes link) With That 70's Show, recorded live on October 9th, 2006. This week the theme was "That 70's Show" on account of our show number. We know, it's lame, but as usual... our secret guest, well... he's now a father, and will not have anytime for podcasting for a while. But Bryce was in town, he stopped by and we talked about his new "future" segment. Plus, we finally had a winner for the contest, some OG scout reports, and a bunch of other fan goodies. Alan also shares with us some new features with Shortner and OGlink, some OG pre-show funny; never heard before! So, download and experience this week's show goodness, and hear all the fun we had!

Take this weeks new LamePoll!!! (the poll ends on the Monday of the recording, will we mention the results on the new show. If you're interested, you can see last week's poll results here. Flame of the Week by Bryce :: (hatemail@otakugeneration.net) Nothing to be "flipped this week"... Anyhow, direct your fanboy-hate and flames to Bryce at: hatemail@otakugeneration.net, and he'll flip it to something amusing. Don't be nasty, or rude... this might not last as a segment idea, but we thought we'd give it a try. OG "guess the character in the envelope" Contest Bryce had a great idea for a contest... We had picked a new anime character for the new-run of the contest... we wrote it down on a piece of paper, and sealed it up in an envelope. You the listener must figure out who the "character in the envelope" is... The prize will be a pack of goodies, a Lisa Ray CD, and maybe something more *hint*hint*cough*... So you ask what are the rules? Well they're pretty simple. First off, we will only accept one guess per email, once a week. If you put more than one guess, in an email, we will only take the first guess. You cannot enter more then once an week, and not more then once per email. Please pay attention to the use of the word "character", it could be a person, animal, car, mech, bryce, paul, a tree, a rock (assuming they are portrayed as "character" some how), almost anything. Each week will reveal a little more about the "character in the envelope" in an anime, until some one guesses it right, and wins. As usual listen to the show for more details, and email your guesses to: otaku.generation@gmail.com, and use the subject line of: OG CHARACTER IN THE ENVELOPE CONTEST This week we got over 10 guesses, however for this contest we will still insist at least 10 people give their guesses, before we give another clue. We don't mean 10 total, we mean 10 guesses within 1 weeks time. Oh and yeah... we have a winner this week! Awesomeness! ...and cookies!
