My friend Daryl Baxter has a podcast about videos games called PAL Keys. It's a really fun show, and I've had the pleasure of being on it in the early days of the show.

Daryl was a little more mysterious than usual about who his guest was on the show this week, and it wasn't until yesterday that I figured it out.

Today I listened to the episode and the whole time I split my attention between "this is a great episode" and "I'm so happy for my friend." David Hayter is the voice of Solid Snake in one of our favorite video game series, Metal Gear Solid. He's also a Hollywood screenwriter with credits including Watchmen and X-Men/X2.

Basically, he's a big get, you should go subsribe to hear it for yourself, and I am really proud of Daryl for making this happen.
