All,
Please be advised that Podcast 205 will be delayed one week to allow Sean to adjust to his new fatherly (no, not Reverend duties, Daddy) duties.
If you missed his announcement on Twitter you can find it here
Sean, take all the time you need, buddy. The first couple weeks especially can be challenging—wonderful and special, but challenging.
Ah yes, I remember the 2 am diaper changing well 
WOOT! Sean’s a dad! 
I agree, take as long as you need. Your new baby girl and adjusting to parenthood is more important.
wooahh! congrats sean!!! the very best to you and your slightly larger family
I’m still unclear on why she’s not named Hera, but whatevs…
But it’s got to be the best reason for a delayed podcast ever.
WOO!
Woohoo, congrats man! Kids are awesome, and society totally buys into the whole “oh, it’s so hard on the Dad” bit too even though the mom does all the work, even if we’re TRYING to help. The kid’s needs are pretty basic those first few weeks, so we’ll expect to see some real progress on Mass Effect 2 by the next podcast.
On your bicycle, spaceman!
It’ll worth the wait, I’m sure. Enjoy the Baby Time, Sean.
Sean congrats!! being a Father is awesome… So now you can show ur kid all kinds of cool Sci Fi stuff.
Me I started off with the Muppets for my 8 Month old now… I love it I mean he loves them lol…
Good luck and welcome to the No Sleep club!
Congratulations to Sean and his wife. Being a happily married man for 17+ years and being a father of two sons are the two best things that ever happened to me. I hope for nothing less for Sean.
Baby girls rock. I got one of those.

Not sci fi, but might as well be.
On line from the book:
“She knew two people: Breast and Not Breast”
She is going to grow up to kick Sean’s ass at Tekken!!!
By then, it’ll be VR and literal.
Sean’s ass? :eek:
I meant the kickin’ of said…um…ass.
Oh, so many congrats to you Sean and Shannon. And a happy welcome to Michaela Rose !! All the best to all of you. Great news !!!:):)
When’s the kid getting on the forum?
Congrats! Can we call him Papa Sean now?
well congratulations… treasure every moment, it will be the hardest and greatest thing you could imagine. i’m not sure who said it first, but i think its appropriate. becoming a father makes you a better man than you thought you could be.
