On this week's edition of Podtoid, Hamza gets back from Pre-E3 with promises of previews and talk of an MMO joining forces with a SyFy TV show. Yeah, that sounds like the next big thing, right?

Duration: 2:09:05

On an incredibly fecal edition of Podtoid, the gang discusses an awesome Minecraft tribute to Jonathan Holmes' ringpiece, the responsibilities of controlling when another man poops, and a music video in which Jim Sterling melts through a window covered in backdoor clay. What a smelly episode! Elsewhere, Mary J. Blige makes the ultimate sacrifice, there are three tender love holes, Paranormal Activity comes to Boston. On the game front, we discuss Konami's blacklisting of certain editors, Diablo III, Capcom's latest DLC shenanigans, and probably some other stuff.  What a show!

Duration: 2:16:55

On this week's edition of Podtoid, the trio discuss holiday activities inspired by Hellraiser, Willem Dafoe's cure for cancer, and the truly annoying thing about gay bestiality websites. If that doesn't sound like the best videogame-themed podcast ever, then you're probably a nice person with a kind heart.  Plenty of game discussion is to be had, however. We talk about the fiscal results for Capcom and Electronic Arts, the joys of Dead Space, and the shared hype for an upcoming Adventure Time title. Also, which Pokemon caused Hamza to have boyhood fantasies? Listen and find out!

The Podtoid cast of generations past are back for a special Retro Gaiden edition of Podtoid. How exciting! On the show, we talk about videogames, which is such a novelty these days. Witcher 2, Minecraft, Assassin's Creed, and Battlefield 3 are put through their paces, because we only talk about the most modern and current titles on this show. Also, the crew relives its favorite Podtoid moments, and makes so much fun of Samit. So much fun.

Duration: 2:10:12

On this week's edition of Podtoid, the gang discusses a multi-goose naked fantasy, plans for the next generation of American Gladiators, and the potential for an interactive fantasy in which you're a bearded old man taking charge of a frightened little girl. It's not a very pleasant episode, really.  We also discuss Sony's potential all-stars battle royale, make fun of Pikmin 2 on the Wii, and ponder whether this is the worst period in gaming's relatively short history. All that and more on Podtoid! Oh, and we really don't know what's up with Jonathan's bloody microphone levels.

On this week's Podtoid, the duo discusses S Club 7, the art of grave robbing, and how to talk to people without coming across as a snooty elitist. Also, we devise what may be Willem Dafoe's greatest movie role yet. He'd love it, for sure! As far as the old games go, there are vague allusions to Aliens: Colonial Marines, Jim challenges Konami to let him direct a new Silent Hill, and a compromise is reached on that whole Mass Effect 3 thing. Also, why the flippin' heck does Jonathan not like Journey? Find out on Podtoid!

3/21/2012
Download

Duration: 2:26:15

This week, the derptastic duo is joined by none other than videogame music man Danny Baranowsky. We discuss his work on Hunger Games, the controversy surrounding The Binding of Isaac, and Danny's history as a composer. It also turns out that this tunesmith is more than capable of getting involved with Podtoid's less ... savory ... discussions.  From atheism to Bill Cosby to sexual deviance and drug intake, there's plenty of ridiculous chatter on offer. It's pretty good stuff, even if Danny is certain his family can never, ever, hear this recording.

3/14/2012
Download

Duration: 2:16:43

Download

Duration: 1:38:54

On this week's episode of Podtoid, Jim Sterling promotes himself to the position of Jonathan Holmes' personal social worker, we learn the terror of chugging Monster Energy and coffee on an empty stomach, and we chat a little bit about transgenderism. You know, the usual things that a videogame podcast should talk about. Oh, and beef tips. On a commemorative plate.  Games come up a bit, with chatter about the PlayStation Vita, our perfect Adventure Time game, and ... uh, there was something else. You know how it goes. 
Podtoid 190: Cerebral Pal-Z
2/22/2012
Download

Duration: 1:57:28

Yes, the rumors are true. Max Scoville is off to fight in the great war and send Jerry running for the hills. It's going to be his last show for some time, but he definitely saved his best joke for this special little episode. Elsewhere, we chat about bigotry, parenthood, the cultural significance of Ratt and whether or not Juggalos poop in their trousers. Also, the decadent Lust Gurney fops make their grand return for one convoluted, awkward appearance.  Somewhere we mention videogames. I think we bring up Asura's Wrath and Seaman on the 3DS. Maybe something else, but who cares? Max is dead you idiot! 
Podtoid Special: Used Games with David Jaffe

Download

Duration: 1:35:45

On a special bonus episode of Podtoid, Eat Sleep Play co-founder and Twisted Metal co-director David Jaffe chats with Jim Sterling on the issue of used games, online passes, and the strained relationship between publishers and consumers. Are gamers being treated like thieves? Is GameStop a villain? Will all this be rendered moot when digital distribution takes hold?  It's a fascinating discussion that provides a lot to think about for all concerned. If you care about videogame consumer issues, this is a podcast you'd do well to listen to! Thanks to David Jaffe for spending time chatting about the issue, and helping to make a very insightful, interesting podcast.

Duration: 2:01:30

On this week's Podtoid, special sports person Samit Sarkar joins the usual crew for another carnival of stupid garbage. Why is Jonathan Holmes wearing a blanket of cats and why is he suddenly so rich? Is Max Scoville paying his child support? How many Ron Pauls does it take to change a lightbulb? Every single one of those questions is answered this week.  As far as games go, we chat about Double Fine's Kickstarter plan (and present a special Kickstarter deal of our own), some people played with a PS Vita at a preview showing, and there's some boring Mass Effect talk that ruins everybody's day. All this and more on Podtoid!

Download

Duration: 2:32:53

On this week's all-inclusive Podtoid, the gang talks about Jim's broken back, Max Scoville's professional recording situation, and Jonathan Holmes stabbing his landlord in the name of freedom. We also devote much time to describing anal sex with mothers, and read out some hate mail from a fellow who doesn't like us making fun of men's rights activists.  On the game front, we chat about Mega Man's inclusion in Street Fighter x Tekken, the problem with competitive gaming, and Kingdoms of Amalur's power fantasy chicanery. All this and too much more, only on Podtoid!

This week, Jim Sterling and Jonathan Holmes hold the fort to talk about hit modern musicians like Alien Ant Farm and Jason Donovan. We also chat about the impact of piracy and copyright law, Paula Deen's impact on the videogame industry, and a Predator that glows in the dark.  For something a bit more game-specific, we've got Resident Evil 6, Resident Evil: Revelations and the evolution of the survival horror genre for you to listen at. We manage to discuss it quite a bit before we laugh at more entitled manbabies and invent the world's great board game. The world's GREATEST!

1/11/2012
Download

Duration: 2:21:39

On this week's thrilling episode of Podtoid, the gang discuss Hanna-Barbera cartoons, the needlessness of the prequel, and the amazing man that sells Max beer and is obviously a supervillain. We also discuss the hilarious racism in James Bond novels, and get into deep theological territory while discussing whether or not it's okay to have sex with God.  We also chat about AMY being crap, Asura's Wrath being a QTE festival, and Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater. All this and much more, only on Podtoid!
Podtoid 183: Narcissistic Lesbian Romance
1/6/2012
Download

Duration: 2:16:06

On this week's Podtoid, we get pretty damn vicious about Sandra Bullock, we chat about the ethics of making mental patients fight like pocket monsters, and we chat about how 2012 is going to be a "great year for game journalism." We're pretty sarcastic about that particular sentiment. There's also yet more talk about the PS Vita, and something about some other videogames.   Despite the festivities, there's also a bit of tragedy. Jonathan Holmes is sick, Max Scoville is bad at sex and Jim Sterling suffers multiple betrayals at the hand of his own industry. Tara Long, however ... Tara trumps them all. You'll have to listen to uncover her fate. 
Podtoid 182: Anal Siege
12/29/2011
Download

Duration: 2:43:10

It's a festive edition of Podtoid this week, as Jim Sterling and Jonathan Holmes relax with some drinks and memories of 2011. As we get ourselves increasingly drunk on scotch and vodka, we reminisce about the hatred Capcom received this year, the "doom" of the Nintendo 3DS, the PlayStation Network outage and the already legendary Ocean Marketing kerfuffle. An alarming amount of time is devoted to the sexual harrassment of Jonathan, with lurid descriptions of impromptu holiday anal sex. We also chat about shrimp poop, a new TV show starring a man called Cool Christmas, and what we got for our yule gifts. All this and more, only on Podtoid!

12/21/2011
Download

Duration: 2:03:17

On this week's episode of Podtoid, we are finally brave enough to say the things about Elton John that have needed to be said for a long time. We also talk about how Jonathan Holmes discovered pedophilia in the thirties, how to seduce Max Scoville, and make only the briefest of references of Christmas.  In terms of game discussion, we chat about Destructoid's game of the year, Portal 2, pick some upcoming favorites of 2012 and chat about the PlayStation Vita's chances of commercial success. All this and much, much more are yours to enjoy in Podtoid.

Download

Duration: 2:01:54

This week, the crew is joined by Destructoid News Editor Conrad Zimmerman to discuss Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, the North American release of Xenoblade Chronicles and maybe one other videogame thing. Naturally, we spend far more time talking about how crap Donnie Darko is and how much Jonathan Holmes resembles Voldemort, The Chameleon, and anything else that's bald or lacks facial features.  On top of all this, we see a new chapter of the weekly installment that I refuse to write in text, and talk about the moral ramifications of eating Santa Claus' dead body. Oh, that Podtoid!
Podtoid 178: A Bat With A Bra
11/30/2011
Download

Duration: 1:59:33

On this week's edition of Podtoid, we chat about the latest bit of review drama, as well as return to yet more Skyrim chatter. There's also a rather nice little discussion on why the Wii would have been the very best HD console on the market, and why the games we typically think of as representing HD aren't doing a good job of it.  Don't worry though, it's not all game talk. We learn about psychotic countertransference in a terrible new segment, we find out that a guru is selling handwritten books alongside lotion, and we get sexy with cartoon bats. Also, poor Max Scoville is feeling quite sick, so wish him well! 
Podtoid 177: Plague Dogs
11/22/2011
Download

Duration: 1:28:11

On this week's edition of Podtoid, the gang discusses 3D movies, the greatness of Rutger "The Rut" Hauer, and the difficulty Max would have if he was a woman. We also chat about Plague Dogs, attempt to impress Jon Stewart with satire, and get all political while talking about SOPA.  Elsewhere, Serious Sam 3: BFE becomes a topic of discussion while the state of platform games is a hot issue. Oh, and Jonathan Holmes may perform the most racist act Podtoid has ever seen ... which is pretty exceptional!

11/16/2011
Download

Duration: 2:22:44

On this week's salty edition of Podtoid, we discuss the meaning of dreams, the nature of the Twilight series, and whether or not Max is in serious trouble for disturbing his neighbors while recording the show. We also get scientific with a deep study of Capgras syndrome and lament the disappointment of the "Year of Threes." Of course, it wouldn't be Podtoid without some Skyrim talk, and we dedicate plenty of time to Metal Gear Solid as well. All this and loads more shall be discussed!
Podtoid 175: Fat Tits
11/8/2011
Download

Duration: 1:36:42

Max Scoville is out this week, but we still have plenty to talk about, and most of it focused on videogames. We discuss the utterly pathetic "controversy" surrounding Destructoid's Modern Warfare 3 review, and chat in-depth about Skyward Sword, Skyrim and Super Mario 3D Land.  Of course, it wouldn't be Podtoid if we didn't veer off the subject, so enjoy us pitching a sequel to To Catch A Predator, listen as we chat about what a man from GamePro said on the Internet once, and ask the all-important question ... is Jim Sterling real?
Podtoid 174: Ant Honey
11/2/2011
Download

Duration: 2:00:38

On a particularly rambunctious episode of Podtoid, the gang discusses how nature documentaries exploit death to get rich, how to deal with rock stars marrying children, and how delicious Ant Honey can be secured at your local grocery store.  We also spend time discussing our early experiences with Skyrim review copies, detail where Skyward Sword is headed and criticize Nintendo again. As if that wasn't enough, we make fun of idiots who hate conflicting opinions and reveal the winners of our Aliens: Infestation contest!

Download

Duration: Not Available

On this week's episode of Podtoid, we get incredibly sassy, Max comes up with the perfect description of the Kirby series, and we introduce a brand new weekly segment called, "Is This Drug Alright?" Trust me when I say that this section is going to catch on like wildfire, and all the kids will love it.  Also, we are running a really cool contest in which five listeners can each win a copy of Aliens: Infestation and a badass framed lenticular image of a Xenomorph attacking a Marine. Listen to the show and learn how to win it, but make sure you do so by next Tuesday!

Download

Duration: 2:12:13

On this week's episode of Podtoid, we demand that Jonathan Holmes stop being so filthy, we solve the Eskimo crisis, we come up with better names for female impersonators and Max tells us about his comic book superhero, Mystery Woman. Elsewhere, heartwarming stories about dead animals and men who blame head injuries on women.  On the game front, much time is dedicated to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and there's a bit of Skyward Sword stuff in there too. You can hear the game discussion if you listen very carefully.

Download

Duration: 2:02:54

On this week's show, an intrepid listener informs us that Tara Long is a hermaphrodite, Jonathan Holmes tattoos Internet shock pictures on his body, and Max and Jim talk about their inability to get diagnosed with mental problems. Meanwhile, solvent abuse and Whoopi Goldberg are made light of for your amusement.  As far as games go, we talk about The Darkness II and Aliens: Infestation, not to mention Mass Effect III's controversial online mode and X-Men: Destiny's complete crapness. All this and more on the latest Podtoid!

10/4/2011

Duration: 2:09:03

Podtoid is back on form with an episode full of offensive fun. This week, we discuss the "Camal" toe (whatever that is), what it would be like if Bob Geldof was an Android phone charger, and take a look at the filmography of that purveyor of fine movies, The Asylum. Also, we get into a deep, totally rational discussion about people who say "First World Problems" and think they are funny.  On the game front, we discuss RAGE's silly name, we beat on that old "Online Pass" drum, and we talk about some of the negative aspects on doing one of the best jobs in the world. All that and more will rock your ears!
Podtoid 169: Why Did I Say I'd Burn The Constitution?
9/28/2011
Download

Duration: 1:56:19

Please forgive the audio quality on this episode, as we ran into a few problems that couldn't be solved in due time. Nevertheless, the gang did a valiant effort of answering as many listener questions as possible this week and ... failed. Miserably. Still, we answered a LOT, and that counts for something. On the show, we discuss Jonathan Holmes' fear of violent videogames, the merit of Japanese roleplaying games, and accidentally fall into a big political talk in which one of us may or may not have accidentally committed treason with our words. All this and a huge amount more are on this episode of Podtoid!

On this fun-stuffed episode of Podtoid, we chat to none other than Tommy Wiseau, famous for creating The Room and The House That Drips Blood On Alex. He's got a new videogame-themed series coming up, The Tommy Wi-Show, and we ask him all about it while he tells us about the positive aspects of gaming and listens to a special movie pitch.  Also on the show, we find out that Jonathan Holmes once looked after pigs in a hotel, we complain about Gears of War 3 and wonder what's up with the PlayStation Vita. Also, we read negative reviews that people have written and laugh, laugh, laugh.

9/14/2011
Download

Duration: 1:49:12

On this week's episode, Max takes a bath throughout the entire show while we discuss tormenting animals in the name of entertainment, reality TV's place as the new Victorian freak show, whether or not Jonathan Holmes has caught a fecal disease from his "special" friend, and the undeniable fact that Sophie's Choice isn't a sad story.  On the game front, we talk about Gears of War 3 (and the lack of a review copy), Kirby Mass Attack, and Nintendo's epic 3DS press conference. All this and much, much more on this week's intrepid trek through the shared mind of four gibbering simpletons. 
Podtoid 166: Toddler Semen Farm
9/9/2011
Download

Duration: 2:19:01

This week's Podtoid has been a technological disaster. The first episode we recorded simply didn't record. As for this one ... well, it's 1:15am as this is being typed and I would like to just die.  That attitude is carried over nicely into the show. Tara couldn't make it to our re-recording, and Jonathan was late, so most of the episode of Max and I muttering nonsense, talking about the Aliens toys, and answering listener questions. Eventually, we arbitrarily decide to bully Jonathon, discuss toddler semen farms, and listen to tales of Max's sexual liasons.  Now excuse me while I hope this friggin' show uploads!
Podtoid 165: Guys Who Like Pies
9/1/2011
Download

Duration: 2:15:18

This week's Podtoid introduces The Piemasters' Guild (by royal appointment). They are manly men who love pie and pie-related paraphenalia. We also talk about PAX, including Destructoid Live 2, hugging Michael Pachter, and drunken conversations about Haunted Star Wars. Oh, and Max gets punched in the face by his cat.  In terms of videogame discussion, we chat about Skyrim, Aliens: Infestation and Dead Island. Indeed, this is a hearty pie of inane chat, baked in a crust of fine gaming delights. Get me another flaggon of ale, sirrah!
Podtoid 164: Katy Perry Is My Kryptonite
8/24/2011
Download

Duration: 2:17:19

On this week's particularly offensive Podtoid, we discuss the possibility of replacing American currency with berries, taking sexual advantage of the mentally infirm, and finally decide how the legal system should allow us to murder anybody who self-identifies as a vampire. Max also confesses his strange fixation with Katy Perry while Jim quite possibly attains true demonhood.  On the game front, there's a bit of Mass Effect discussion, a sprinking of Deus Ex, and Holmes takes us through some WiiWare recommendations. Don't worry though, the show focuses mostly on the sex, vampirism, berries, Perry and evil!
Podtoid 163: Jonathan Holmes' Hospital of Monsters
8/17/2011
Download

Duration: 2:29:04

On this week's episode of Podtoid, the gang quizzes Jonathan Holmes about his "real" social worker job and the various creatures he has to look after. We also pitch a new sitcom for Voldemort, discuss the power of offensive language, examine why Russian games are upsetting, and laugh at the time Max Scoville was whipped in a cat cage.  On the videogame front, we talk about Dead Island, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron, S.T.A.L.K.E.R and the semen that will eventually cover my review copy of Deus Ex: Human Revolution. All this and (far too) much more will be unveiled on the latest show!

We also discuss our (lack of) PAX plans, the madness that is E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy and get excited for Aliens on the DS.  It's quite a varied little show, and you'll be pleased to know there's no sports talk!
Podtoid 161: Son of a bitch, play my puzzle!
8/3/2011
Download

Duration: 1:59:12

This week we have a special treat in store, as sports editor Samit Sarkar joins the cast to discuss a little football and chat about EA's new Season Ticket initiative. In a shockingly game-heavy Podtoid, we also discuss the ramifications of the 3DS price cut, chat a little about Deus Ex, and even have a mini-preview of RAGE.  Of course, it's not ALL sensible. Keep a listen out for a new Willem Dafoe movie pitch, Suburban Centaurs. 
Podtoid 160: The Lust Gurney
7/27/2011
Download

Duration: 2:18:51

On this week's episode of Podtoid, we worry about crossing the line as it takes us discussing animal cruelty, weird pornography, and Captain Planet before there's even a danger of videogame discussion. Even then, we get sidetracked by the exploits of two imagined inbred aristocrats who indulge their every sordid sexual fantasy.  When videogames are nailed down, we talk about From Dust, Freddy Krueger in Mortal Kombat and Capcom haters. If you can spot those topics among everything else, you win a prize! As always, you can subscribe on iTunes or RSS, get our Android app, or download directly!

Download

Duration: 2:12:18

On this week's edition of Podtoid, the crew commissions a remake of Miamia Vice, officially declares that heroin isn't a big deal, and puts Voldemort in charge of an opium den with his good friend, Emperor Palpatine. You really can't get much better than that! Oh wait, you can! We also discuss John Carmack's assertion that his job isn't to innovative, and whether or not we truly despise the Nintendo 3DS. All this and much, much more are covered in a little over two hours of pure, unfettered drivel from Destructoid's motley crew of abnormal wastrels.

Duration: 1:58:57

This week's episode of Podtoid covers a lot of bases, and don't worry -- many of them are horrible and/or weird. This week, we cover Jim being in a game, Kathie Lee Gifford being a horrendous person, Electronic Arts being awful, iOS developers being questionable, and Max Scoville being a gentleman adventurer.  We also learn the definition of "Hot Sala" thanks to Tara, and your usual Willem Dafoe movie ideas make a return. 
Podtoid 157: Muddy Buddies

Download

Duration: 1:41:25

This week's Podtoid is, without a doubt, the weirdest Podtoid to have ever been recorded. In this latest offering of nonsense, you will be introduced to concepts involving Willem Dafoe that you'll wish you'd never been exposed to. You'll have to listen to the character assassination of a dying child. You will also, if you're lucky, be able to pick out some videogame discussion.  I don't know if this is the best Podtoid I've ever recorded, or the worst. I know it's nothing in between.

Duration: 1:49:30

On this week's episode of Podtoid, we manage to squeeze in two pretty interesting discussions regarding the recent demise of the California Videogame Law and the Mercenaries 3D save slot controversy. Those discussions are sandwiched between more movie ideas for Willem Dafoe, cowboy bears, an argument about transgenders in beat 'em ups, and a lengthy analysis on the concept of hipsters.  So, the usual nonsense! As ever, you can subscribe to us on iTunes and RSS, or download directly!

Duration: 1:20:01

This week's Podtoid is later than usual because the original recording ... never recorded. No idea why, but sadly a rather excellent episode got lost. We didn't want the listeners to go without, however, so I was able to get Jonathan Holmes and myself together for a re-recording.  Although we don't have Max and Tara this week, there was still over an hour of drivel and exaggerated videogame passion to go around. This week, we discuss Shadows of the Damned, videogame reviews, Sonic the Hedgehog's birthday, why Nintendo of America needs to pull its head out of its ass, and invent two new demons -- the Inside-Out Alligator and the Lung Lobster. As always, you can subscribe to iTunes or RSS, and download directly.

Podtoid is back and we haven't let a little thing like E3 get in the way of demented drivel and inane banter. This week, we discuss L.A. Noire's difficulty levels, Duke Nukem's worth as a character, and we proudly debut a brand new show feature -- Film Pitches For Willem Dafoe. Oh, that idea's just gonna run and run.  As always, you can hit is up on iTunes or RSS, and download directly.

It's the pre-E3 episode of Podtoid, as if that means anything to anybody. On this episode we discuss how Microsoft will bore us, how Nintendo will crossdress for us, and how Sony will introduce us to the man who is dating its mom. All this and more will confuse your rotten little brain as we gear up for the big show! As always, you can subscribe on iTunes or direct download. Whatever my precious little princess wants!

Recording Podtoid has quickly become a highlight of my working week. How could it not, with episodes like this? Amongst the many, increasingly bizarre things discussed, we talk about Max Scoville's love of digital farts, Jim's vision of Dr. Doom stroking a bunny rabbit, Tara Long's mustache, and Jonathan Holmes' suggestion that Grand Theft Auto V will fail.  Also, is it offensive to do impersonations of Cooking Mama? We find out! I cannot be happier with the content of this show.

Jonathan Holmes tells the most fascinating stories. Sometimes, they shatter minds.  This week, the gang discusses L.A. Noire, free PSN games, Gotham City Impostors, and go off on wild tangents that include Star Wars, comic books, doing terrible things to Progressive Flo, and classic songs of the nineties. Any videogame discussion becomes purely incidental by the end of it. That's the way we like it!

It's been a loooong time ...  Podtoid is back, with an all-new cast, except for that really annoying Brit guy who ruins everything. Jim Sterling is joined by Jonathan Holmes, Max Scoville and Tara Long for a new generation of Podtoid. You love it, you slags! This week, we talk about PC gaming versus console gaming, what Sony could do to make up for the PSN outage, and whether or not Project Cafe can breathe fire while growing new arms and finding Lion King stickers. It all makes sense once you start listening. We promise.  As always, you can subscribe on iTunes, or listen right here. It's your choice!

We talk about games and stuff in this episode, but the conversation doesn't really pick up until the final ten minutes. After the proper, let's-talk-about-videogames show ends, Adam Dork starts linking us to pictures of crabs and giving his own unique commentary. And that's pretty fun.

I'd be lying if I said this week's Podtoid wasn't a little on the calm side, but our two loudest cast members are missing, and Leray and I were tired from our respective trips back from GDC. Such is life. Either way, the Podtoid crew discussed Brenda Brathwaite's Train, Portal 2, and our least favorite videogame bosses.

AARREN, Anthony, and Brad won't be joining us for this episode thanks to GDC so we told you you were getting a listener's question episode. Well too bad, you are just going to have to deal with a real show, complete with stories and news items and sports! Instead of Jim holding the helm, Samit is in control. Can he successfully run two Podtoids in a row without a derailment? Stick with us to find out about the real, mystery identity of our guest co-host, Samit failing at #quickhits, Jim playing with his Wii, Topher's time idea, dogsuit, and much more. Oh, and there might be a listener question or two at the end.
Podtoid 140.5: Heavy Rain spoilertoid
3/4/2010
Download

Duration: 1:45:28

We restrained ourselves from completely spoiling Heavy Rain's story in Monday's episode of Podtoid so that we could spoil the night away in a special Extra Gaiden Alpha episode of Podtoid. This is that episode. In it, we discuss our feelings toward the Heavy Rain's story and how it handles the player's agency within that story. Jim also does a Kevin Spacey impression. Additionally, there's a bit at the very end where right before signing off, Samit says, "well, it's a quarter to midnight." Adam cut the recording there, but we went on to decide that "It's a Quarter To Midnight" was the name of Samit's Nickelback cover band, and that the next time he's at an E3 party he has to do a karaoke version of "Hero."

About half of this two hour podcast is our "games of the week" segment. I'm perfectly fine with that, I think. The other half is about Peter Molyneux, BioShock 2 and perhaps most interestingly, our favorite open world games. Hope you dig it.

This week's episode has a pretty long Games of the Week segment (mainly because we spend a healthy portion of it talking about artgames), so be ready for that. After the first half of the show, however, the regular Podtoid crew yaks about Sonic 4, EA's 2011 lineup, and some other stuff I can't remember at the moment.

There's some spoilery Mass Effect 2 talk in this week's Podtoid, but you can avoid it pretty easily: it starts at about the 45 minute mark and ends at 1:05:30. In it, we discuss the final mission of the game. Otherwise, pretty typical podcast; really long games of the week segment, some slightly games-unrelated discussion of the iPad, and a few listener questions at the end. Hope you like it, don't really mind if you don't.

First of all: spoilers for Modern Warfare 2 and, at the very, very end, some stuff about Metal Gear Solid 4. Second of all, this week's episode of Podtoid focuses mainly on Modern Warfare 2. Stories about the midnight launches, our feelings about the game in general and, ultimately, a really long discussion about the airport massacre level.

Yay, Podtoid bonus episode. About a month ago, I made a rant arguing that games should be more than "just fun," and David Jaffe (God of War, Calling All Cars!) ranted back, arguing that I should "shut the f*ck up."

The problem -- and I think I've said this before in regard to fanart header images -- the problem with having a really kickass community who makes stuff for you is that when it comes time to share their works in an official capacity, there are just too many. I would have loved to include every single techno remix inspired by Podtoid 114 in this week's episode, but I had to settle for putting Super Mega Hyper's song at the beginning. You should still check out the Podtoid forum for the rest, though. Anyway, this week's episode is as meandering and weird as you might expect. Linde's gone, but Brad/Chet fills in quite nicely.  You can listen to the thing here, as usual, or you can subscribe to us on iTunes.  This week's most interesting question, which wasn't really much of a question but still resulted in interesting discussion and a really horrendous quote from me, came from Tremulant.

This week's episode is entitled "Guybrush" not necessarily because we spend much (or, indeed, any) time discussing the Monkey Island franchise, but because the last ten minutes of the episode consist of an audio interview with Dominic Armato, the voice of Guybrush Threepwood. I interviewed him at PAX, where I also got him to make fun of Destructoid.You can listen to the thing here, as usual, or you can subscribe to us on iTunes.

Mevio {Mevio-ee00b6ea7ab507075ffd220469e3aae4} God, I'm sorry. I'm really, really sorry. Not just that this week's episode is a day later than it should be, but that the episode you waited an extra twenty-four hours for is so friggin' bad. I mean, it's moderately enjoyable at moments, don't get me wrong, but...Jesus. Double Dragon, as a film, is such a weird, awful, poorly-structured catastrophe that it often defies mockery. The film includes a character, for instance, whose neck appears to be made of two giant, sweaty testicles. His name is "Bo Abobo." Yeah. It's like that. Still, you can watch the thing here, as usual, or you can subscribe to us on iTunes. This week's listener question winner person is CaptainApocalypse, as much as anyone can be said to have "won" in this episode.

Download

Duration: 1:45:20

I know this week's episode of Podtoid isn't a Double Dragon movie commentary like we promised, but certain parts of the podcast make up for it. I won't specify for fear of spoiling them, but let's just say they involve Samit.This week's Podtoid can be listened to here, as usual, or you can subscribe to us on iTunes. Highlights include:- I try to be fake-mean to Samit and it comes out sounding ridiculously real-mean- The Red Star: just as good now as it was a few years ago- Crimson Skies and X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter are frigging good - Mumblings about cut scenes and player-driven narrative- A particularly memorable Podtoid momentThis week's best question came from KorJax, who has almost certainly won before, but you'll understand why he deserves another prize anyway once you get to his question.

I fear one day will come when Podtoid stops becoming about actual gaming news and almost solely becomes a weekly delivery of sex and sports jokes.Then I realize that happened about twenty episodes ago, and I stop worrying. This week's Podtoid can be listened to here, as usual, or you can subscribe to us on iTunes.Highlights include: - Be prepared for Robert Patrick's Double Dragon next week- The Red Star is good- I just realized we legitimately do not mention Half-Life or Metal Gear Solid a single time throughout this entire episode- I think we should get an award or somethingOur favorite question this week came from Stevil, who gave us all opportunities to talk about games nobody else has ever heard of.

I know I promised Jim would be the only regular cast member missing from Podtoid 109, but Linde leaves around the halfway point for, shall we say, thermal reasons. Either way, the episode is still alright. Conrad Zimmerman came on to replace Jim, and Topher actually says more than three sentences once Linde is out of the picture. You can listen to it here, as usual, or subscribe to us on iTunes. Highlights include:  - Samit's games of the week - Topher is tired of your BlazBlue graphical bias - Sam Raimi is directing a Warcraft movie, ambivalence ensues - Arkham Asylum review shenanigans - A ton of listener questions Our favorite question came from able_to_think, who asked about trading challenge for narrative.

Duration: 1:36:52

This week's Podtoid is about as enjoyably typical an episode we've ever done: it's got a good mixture of weird, unstructured BS'ing and Serious News Discussion. And the first twenty minutes consists almost solely of Samit-bashing. You can listen to it here, as usual, or subscribe to us on iTunes.Highlights include:- As promised, twenty minutes of Samit-bashing- Jim is prepared- Penn and Teller's Bullsh*t!- New revenue models- Email me at reverendanthony[at]gmail[dot]com if you're pretty decent at modding and find the concept of working on a nonlinear zombie survival game appealing This week's question prize goes to Xhumation, for asking a question so ludicrously out of Podtoid's scope that I consider it amazing Aaron Linde managed to come up with a response.

Since the Earth saw fit to swallow up Anthony's internet connection last night, the rest of the cast carried on with the handsome Aaron Linde acting as host. That also meant I had to edit, which is why I'm writing this post instead of Anthony. Sorry to move your cheese. It still turned out to be a good show, where we talked about stuff like: I'm not the only one who loved Wind WakerSame goes for cel shading Modern Warfare: Big F*ckin' thing editionTomb Raider needs more zombiesThe return of Uncle Reg20 bucks in a box for $10 As always, subscribe to the show on iTunes to get it early, or check it out right here.

It continues. I'm as surprised as anyone that we actually stuck to our guns and recorded another videogame movie commentary exactly when we said we would. Either way, it's here. It's not as good as the Street Fighter movie commentary, of course, but it's not bad. Get it here. No highlights this time, as the entire thing is basically just one big running stream of weird riffs and offensive jokes. I will say that Guncannon's "you've lost your balls" riff is as close as we can get to announcing a best listener question. Email podtoid@destructoid.com and we'll talk.

If that header image offends you, this week's episode of Podtoid isn't going to be much more enjoyable for you. This week, the entire cast minus Samit talked about writing in videogames, Twitter etiquette, and the unusual allure of Suda 51. We also made fun of dead people. You can listen to it here, as usual, or subscribe to us on iTunes. Highlights include: - Jim-as-Samit - I've actually sort of forgotten what we talked about apart from the basic news stories - Something about integrating writers into the production process earlier - Then a lot of jokes about Billy Mays - BILLY MAYS HERE This week's most interesting question came from Kpax, if only because it allowed us to do something we never, ever, ever do: talk about Half-Life 2.

He left me with only one specific instruction: "Just use some picture of Samit for the Podtoid header." So I used this lovely piece from Dexter345 because it makes me laugh.I don't really know what this episode entails otherwise, so no actual show notes, unfortunately.

As always, you can listen to the new episode here or, better yet, get us on iTunes. Whatever floats your boat, really. Discussion topics included: - Pots and kettles - Linde the sinner - Our opinions on BioShock 2 are nothing, if not whatevs - Can a player-driven story be legitimately affecting on the same level as scripted stories? - Things about Nicole Wiebe Podtoid 96's best -- or at least, most insane -- question came from 4knuckleshuffle.
