More butt secks?

I don't know. I have to catch on them. I have been slacking :(

Uh.... which main video game characters do you prefer: the quiet, mysterious types (ala the dube from GTA III)? Or a character whose complete back story and attitude you know from the get-go?

Art Direction. Not arthouse or indie games, but the art directions games use and the style they are made in.

50 cent: blood in the sand.
Wether or not 50 or lloyd banks will be the gamekiller?
Cameo by The Game in the game?
Slim shady as a boss?
Vitamin water power ups?
i stop now...

What Dyson said.

Not sucking so much.

Nicole Wiebe.

Sephiroth & Cloud: More Than Bitter Enemies?
(why DID big S really kill Aeris? jealous much?)

I think a system centric podcast would be cool. What we love, don't love, love to hate etc. about each system. Of course much like EternalDeathSlayer I don't get to listen as often as I'd like so maybe you've done this.

I wouldn't mind hearing your views on spoilers, and how online communities are essentially all about spoiling games. Not maliciously of course, but just from the nature of what an online community is: a LARGE amount of people who have played pretty much every game out there and want to talk about them.

Been on my mind since Boolean vented on the subject (which I think I made a good comment on). Two games off the top of my head that were "spoiled" for me were FF7 and Bioshock. FF7 I can understand because I didn't play the game until 2006, but even with something as recent as Bioshock has pretty much been laid out for me.

In short, someone's desire to not have something spoiled for them versus everyone else's desire to talk about it.

Is there any reason why you can't talk about music in games? I mean, maybe I'm just an audiophile or something, but it seems such an integral part of making an excellent game. Surely you have game soundtracks in your music library? Surely there are games you own where just listening to the music and the sounds will take you back to the first time you played it? Or is it such a dull topic that no-one has anything to say about it?

What things "shouldn't be" in video games? What things are just fed up with developers keep doing? List your top 10 things that developers do that piss you right off. For example, bad camera and character controls (Resident "urine injection to the face" Evil to name one), stupid save systems (see Resident "unexpected spermal lactation" Evil for reference) or irritating exposition segments (like in, say, Resident "I'm going to rape everyone you know and then enjoy watching your stock, poorly scripted reaction" Evil).

And finally, why don't you just do one big Games That Time Forgot podcast, and what made them great?

I believe that the formula to a fun podcast is hearing your witty anecdotes about games, the strengths and weaknesses of games in different contexts and how it can relate to current and future events, then tell each other that you're all wrong, and then resort to naughty language and threats of torture by 80s culture. Stick to the most obvious topics, because you're interesting enough to make them work regardless.

Moar Shmups plz.

Also, what is Jim Sterling's problem with innovation? Did innovation touch him in a sensitive area as a child?

Half Life lovefest.

Aborto thefetus is really pro-life. Discuss the implications.

How about with all this Wiiware talk, you can talk about the state of XBLA/PSN/Wiiware and why they are good, bad or just shit. Something along those lines?

Either that or Van Halen.

Lol @ Retroforce - Chad raid.

I like the idea of a show devoted to music in games.


Alternatively you could attempt to decipher the hidden meaning behind Chocolate Rain.

You should do an April Fool's week of episodes - Podtoid has to talk with a British accent and talk about Britain, Retroforce has to talk about current news, and Podcastle has to talk about retro games.

Rhythm games. Wait, have you done that already?

How you'd make it. Specifically games that started off with a potentially awesome idea and then managed to screw it up completely, and how you would have done it better.

talk about how great level 5 is and how they will save the world.
More specifically how great Dark Chronicle is.
(Dark Cloud 2 to the US)

You should host-switch for April Fools, Dyson hosts Podtoid, Jim hosts Retroforce and Rev hosts Podcastle. The win will be epic.

How about the moments when certain genres became stale. Like when people stopped caring about platformers, adventure games and when FPS' started to become unintentional self parodies.

Maybe something about genres? How they developed, cliches and restrictions that seem to come along with them. Your thoughts on the future, new genre or crossovers like an FPS RTS where your troops are people who are playing a tactical FPS and there is some kind of promotion/reward system if they follow your orders. Stop rambling. Anyway, whatever it is I look forward to it, Podtoid always sparks off a lot of thoughs in me.

I want more of Jim doing Metal Gear Solid impressions.
