Failcast is recording again tonight! If we were at all consistent, 52 episodes would mean that we had put out one episode a week for an entire year. Yeah...that's not the case, between breaks, bonus episodes, more breaks, and that whole business with the "beta episodes" during our first year. (We were so young and foolish...) Oh well, at least we've stuck with it this long and found yet another reason to congratulate ourselves.

Tonight's guest is one Mr. Taumpytears, a person on the internet. He enjoys surfing the web and riding horses.



You know what to do in the comments, so let 'er - oh, you need me to spell it out? Sigh. Ask questions about Destructoid and The Vidya for us to answer on the show! Aaaaaaaaand go!

So. This episode is actually from last week, since we didn't get it out then and didn't record an episode this week. Which means we have this awesome show which we know you'll love, it also means that some of our topics are outdated in that special internet way where things are ancient after a week. So it goes!

Cataract subs in for Hito, Bigby is our special community guest, and the rest of the crew (Yashoki, King3vbo, and Necros) are just as self-absorbed as always. Outline Get!

What time is it? Fail time!

Tonight's community guest is Bigby, a person on the internets. Listen as he tells us about how the West was won, and 20 other holiday classics.

Also, something about double downing? Maybe.

Give us your thought-provoking or hilariousquestions in the comments! And I mean it when I italicize those words, since Yashoki is getting picky about what questions he'll read.

Somehow, against all odds, ignoring the fact that we have all of five listeners, Failcast has managed to make it - to episode 50. Honestly, we're as surprised as you. And in a way, we're sort of sorry about it too. Thanks for tolerating us and even, from time to time, enjoying the trainwreck we put out here.

To celebrate, we're releasing the episode late as always! And on this episode of Failcast is one of Modern Method's renaissance men, Brad "DMV" Rice, an editor on Destructoid and Tomopop and editor-in-chief of Japanator. He joins the cast to talk about anime, being around near the beginning of Destructoid, and what it was like to live with Necros. Hilarity ensues. Also, stay tuned for a Failcast exclusive bit of news from Niero!

Outline of Fail:
00:30 - Worst show opening ever!

You've asked for it so we've giving it to you! In an effort to let old man Hitogoroshi go to bed at a decent time Yashoki in his infinite wisdom (read: Taco Stash) has convinced King3vbo, Necros, and community guest JohnnyViral to join in on Failcast's first ever seperate Animucast! If you've ever heard Failcast you would know that we do a episode of Animucast every few months as the new season of Anime begins all the way in war-torn Japan. We hope to make this a more frequent Animucast but that all depends on you, dear listeners.

Give our new production a listen, let us know what you like, don't like (saying Yashoki doesn't count), what you would like to hear more of, and we'll do our best to craft the best show available. If you don't care much for anime, go ahead and skip it. Just know that every time you deny Animucast a listen you kill a little starving Mexican child.

If you decide to listen to Animucast and wish to follow along here are the guides we will be using. We don't discuss every show, so keep on your toes!

Failcast has finally hit the big 5-0, so does that mean we're over the hill? Well, Old Man Hito is, so we'll just count that for the rest of us.

Since it's been another ten episodes, that means it's time for another editor to appear on the show as our weekly community guest. This time around, we've secured Mr. Brad Rice, a.k.a. "Dick McVengeance" to old-school Dtoiders. Brad joins us to talk about the community, Dtoid's sister site Japanator, anime, and random stuff along the lines of loli, weeaboos, and hentai. But we can't do our episode without your help as usual!

Post your questions for Brad in the comments below, along with the usual array of questions and nonsensical statements about the vidya games, Gundam vs. Macross, and all those other Failcast memes you guys keep bringing up every week.

Domo arigatou-gozaimasu, community-kun!
