| Hosts: Hilary Goldstein, Erik Brudvig, David Craddock |
| Quotes: "I would love a Pac-Man where he starts off anorexic and then gets bigger and bigger" - Hilary Goldstein |
| Replay Value: As with any show, it's always interesting to go back and check out the "pilot" episode. But, for a first episode, they didn't exactly come out swinging. |

| Running Time: 55:49 |
| Hosts: Hilary Goldstein, Erik Brudvig, and special guest Nate Ahearn |

| Episode 3 |
| July 25, 2007 |
| Running Time: 58:06 |
| Hosts: Hilary Goldstein, Erik Brudvig, and special ("because he comes on the short bus") guest David Clayman |
| Topic: RPGs on XBOX360 |
| Quotes: "I can't believe your podcast is called Three Red Lights. You guys are total dicks." - David Clayman |
| Replay Value: First episode that kind of holds up. Hilary and David Clayman have a funny rappoire. There's some funny extended stories about Peter Molyneux. |

| Running Time: 1:10:23 |
| Hosts: Hilary Goldstein, Erik Brudvig, and David Craddock |

| Quotes: "(David Craddock's) return could be just like making a return to K-Mart" - Hilary "If Halo 3 plays anything like this Mtn. Dew tastes, it will get a 4" - Hilary |
| Replay Value:The Mtn. Dew bit is pretty funny, and they make some interesting game-related predictions. |
| Episode 5 |
| August 8, 2007 |
| Running Time: 1:09:52 |
| Hosts: Hilary Goldstein, Erik Brudvig, and David Craddock |
| Topic: Betas |
| Notes: There are 2 inexplicably inserted ads for Corn Flakes. |
| Quotes: "I don't understand the podcast phenomenon, except that I like to talk on them" - Erik |
| Replay Value:They unfortunately manage to stay on topic in this episode, making it a totally boring discussion of betas. |
| Episode 6 |
| August 15, 2007 |
| Running Time: 58:55 |
| Hosts: Hilary Goldstein, David Craddock, David Clayman With a special visit from Ty Root |

| Notes: Debut of fan-created intro/outro First reading of the infamous teabagging e-mail Another mention of Jeff Bell (the man, not the bell) |
| Quotes: "If Journey is not in Rock Band, I'm giving it a zero" - Hilary |
| Replay Value:The teabagging listener e-mail makes this one a must hear. There is also a funny, giggly discussion of Peter Moore tattoos. |

| Never Aired - Described by Hilary as "An hour long moment of silence" |
| Episode 8 |
| August 29, 2007 |
| Running Time: 1:08:42 |
| Hosts: Hilary Goldstein, Erik Brudvig, and David Craddock |
| Notes: Question of the week - "What is David's mutant power"? |
| Replay Value:There's some pretty funny stuff here, including tales of Hilary's drunken bachelor party. There is though a fairly long discussion of Bioshock that would be old news to anyone who's played it now. |
| Episode 9 |
| September 12, 2007 |
| Running Time: 37:09 |
| Hosts: Hilary Goldstein, Erik Brudvig, and David Craddock |
| Quotes: "Craddock is a Nordic term for 'testicles'" - Hilary |
| Replay Value: Not particularly dated as far as game previews and such, but not particularly funny or interesting either. |
| Episode 10 |
| September 26th, 2007 |
| Running Time: 1:18:50 |
| Hosts: Hilary Goldstein, Erik Brudvig, David Craddock, and David Clayman |
| Topic: Halo 3 |
| Notes: This episode is hard to find on the IGN site. Here's the link: Episode 10 |
| Quotes: "Girls can actually review Halo, it's okay" - Hilary "You probably thought [getting into heaven] was based on religion or something, but we're just doing gamerscore" - Erik |
| Replay Value: The Halo 3 talk isn't terribly interesting anymore, but unlike the more recent GTAIV focused episodes, they mix in quite a bit of humor. There is some funny stuff here, and yet another reading of the teabagging e-mail. |
| Episode 11a |
| Lost and never aired. Described as "Best Episode Ever" |
| Episode 11b |
| October 17, 2007 |
| Running Time: 1:13:52 |
| Hosts: Hilary Goldstein, Erik Brudvig, and Daemon Hatfield |
| Notes: Re-recording of lost episode 11a. Debut of The Jeff Bell Rupert Murdoch visits the IGN office (but not the podcast) In anticipation of Nate joining the Three Red Lights team (in Episode 12), they begin making fun of him. |
| Quotes: "How do you make a great game? Eat bacon pancakes every morning...Get a job at Bungie so you can eat bacon pancakes" - Hilary "Old women playing Canasta in jetpacks would be a good XBLA game" - Hilary "If you want to hear the voice of a woman that's been naked before, listen to GameScoop" - Hilary |
| Replay Value: If you missed it, you can listen for the genesis of the Jeff Bell. You can also hear them rant about movie theaters, and there's a long conversation about HD-DVD which is kind of funny now that its a dead format. |
| Jeff Bell Rings: 13 |
| Episode 12 |
| October 24, 2007 |
| Running Time: 1:08:55 |
| Hosts: Hilary Goldstein, Erik Brudvig, and Nate Ahearn with a surprise (and hard to hear) visit by former XBOX editor Anthony Chau and a pre-recorded interview with Joseph Staten, author of "Halo: Contact Harvest"  |
| Quotes: "Nate looks like he's being cast for the next Meatballs movie" - Hilary "Is there going to be any sort of alcohol abuse in the novel?" - Hilary interviewing Joseph Staten "Are there pictures in the book?" - Hilary interviewing Joseph Staten |
| Replay Value: Not much. Beyond a brief discussion of IGN's zombie attack plan, it's not terribly funny. If you're a fan of Halo books you'll enjoy the interview. |
