[edit] Podcast
As a co-host of "Major Nelson Radio" Neustadter presents the weekly segment Xbox 101 (a segment devoted to interesting and sometimes underutilized features on the Xbox 360 or Xbox Live) as well as being a contributor to the rest of the podcast. Larry Hyrb picks on Eric Neustadter on almost every podcast for not finishing games yet Eric has a much higher gamerscore then Larry. Neustadter asserts that his gamertag "e" is not an allusion to any illicit drugs, that it actually stands for the first letter of his name[3].
