This is why you don’t start a podcast during cold and flu season.

Hawkes was all ready to record Episode 3 and then came down with that horrible flu that no one is prepared for this winter.

He’s bundled up in the House of Hawkes with 103 degree fever, which goes nicely with the matching fevers his wife and son have.

I just got off the phone with him and he’s kinda delirious and sounds like ass.

So we’ll all just have to wait for Episode 3. On the plus side, it will contain the latest from GDC, which starts Monday.

Sorry for the delay. We’ll be back as soon as we can both stand up straight.

If you listened to Episode 2, you’d have heard Edie ask: What defines Mile High Club membership?

Your thoughts? You can add them as comments on this thread or you can email them to GameHounds@gmail.com.

Good news. Despite the best efforts of family, jobs and the streptococcus bacteria, GameHounds Episode 2 is recorded!

Editing and posting on Thursday, so keep your iPods tuned to this station.

If you want to get immediate notice when podcasts get posed, start following the GameHounds Twitter (name: GameHounds). The minute it’s up and live, we’ll post to Twitter.

You can also add Edie and Hawkes. Edie’s Twitter name is GamerEdie and Hawkes’ is CooperHawkes. Add all three and you’ll be sure to find out when podcasts go up and what’s going on with both your favorite hosts.

As you know, Edie will be at GDC next week.

And therefore, your chance to get personalized retrieval of gaming-industry information is nigh.

What information would you like to have her hunt down? Who would you like to have interviewed? What questions do you want answered?

You can post your requests in the comments section here, or you can email us directly at GameHounds@gmail.com.

Yes, you have all been asking about GameHounds Episode Two.

As we are.

Here’s what’s going on: First, Hawkes had some life stuff that came up. You all know that’s the nature of being real people. Life stuff comes up.

Next, Edie came down with a wicked not-strep-throat-but-still-ugly tonsilitis thing. Trust me, it tastes and smells as good as it sounds.

So with one host trying to keep a boss, child and wife at bay, and the other talking like she gargled a broken Coke bottle, we put off recording until Thursday.

On the plus side, you’ll have a double-dose of GameHounds in the next week. Edie will be attending GDC to find out the latest on your favorite titles, so you’ll have a lot to listen to in the next few days.

If you really can’t wait to hear the dulcet tones of GameHounds, you can check out the latest episode of Artificial Intelegents, wherein Edie joined the AI crew for a night of hilarity. Okay, maybe not hilarity, but it was pretty funny.

Trust me, it’s a “I’m your father” moment.

Tonight is Saturday.

Thus: Tonight is recording night.

Yes, episode two is about to explode into your ears!

The problem is that we know what we want to talk about, but what do you want to hear?

Got any questions for Edie or Hawkes? We will answer just about anything you ask, although let us take care of a few obvious ones right now:

1. Briefs
2. Betty… totally Betty. Wilma was a ho.
3. 16, in the backseat of a 1980 Toyota Corolla.
4. Only once, but Hawkes said he thought it was a girl.

So there you go. Any other topics/questions you want from us? Emails us at Gamehounds@gmail.com.
