Failcast episode 2 recording tonight! Also, polar bears
FAILCAST | 3:18 PM on 02.12.2008 22 comments




Man...what the hell am I doing up. It's the middle of winter, I should be hibernating, not sitting here babysitting you infantile man-children. I mean, seriously, what do you expect from me? I'm a fucking polar bear. Lying around doing nothing takes a lot of work, especially with the weather and all. Oh, you need clarification? Here's a newsflash for you jackasses in Florida: IT'S FUCKING COLD UP HERE. ALSO, HAWAIIAN SHIRTS WERE NEVER COOL. AND ART DECO IS - you know what, I just can't seem to give a shit anymore.

I suppose Failcast and some angry banana are recording episode 2 tonight. If I cared enough, I might pass along any questions or blogs you posted in the comments to be talked about on the show. But who really gives a shit. Not me. I'm always gonna be trapped in this stupid zoo, sleeping the day away, getting bugged by weird kids, and eating shit soup until the day I die. I dunno. W/e bear.

Note: The management of Failcast would like it to be known that Pissed-off Polar Bear has passed away after choking himself on a plastic cup dropped into his cage. We regret this event and ask that you please mention all condolences (and video game questions and community questions and win/fail blogs and funny movies and epic shoops) in the comments below. Please do not send any emails to Failcast@gmail.com unless you are a grief counselor and are available to come on the show to stop Yashoki from BAW-ing his spleen out.

Seriously, we need someone to stop the BAWWWWWW-ing. Anyone a licensed psychiatrist?
BigPopaGamer's Destructoid Blog
Look if you want questions you might want to at least tell them what you will be discussing. Sorry, this is from a demand in the IRC channel.

Here are some questions for ya, if you are so desparate for something to talk about:
1. Why does Necros suck so much dick?
2. Why can't Yashoki ever break that coke addiction?
3. Can King's avatar get any creepier?
4. Is Charlie really an asian? And if he is, is he related to Miyamoto?(They all look alike I figured they all have to be related somehow.)

Just remember, it's all in love. Keep on failing guys!
Cowzilla3's Destructoid Blog
I don't think you went into enoughd detail on how awesome Cowzilla3 is. Hopefully someone on the show can give a first hand account.
king3vbo's Destructoid Blog
@Big Popa: We dont really decide until 5 minutes before the show. If there was any planning going on, then it just wouldnt be Failcast
MrSadistic's Destructoid Blog
Here's a question:

Why in the hell does Harry Potter hate black people so much?
Coonskin05's Destructoid Blog
I have a question this week.

If someone created a satirical gaming blog, would you be interested?
BigPopaGamer's Destructoid Blog
Yes King, you are right. But at the same time, I was ordered to post some questions. So there are some questions for your vastly superior intellect to ponder.
king3vbo's Destructoid Blog
Well Popa, I will just use my big creepy brain and think for a while
blehman's Destructoid Blog
When did Nex come back, AND WHY AM I TYPING SO LOUD?
Projectexodus's Destructoid Blog
I got a question: What gave mankind the idea of milking cows?
Kryptinite's Destructoid Blog
wait so this is serious? where do I get a copy of this?
king3vbo's Destructoid Blog
@ Kryptinite: See our sidebar for links to previous shows. Also, we have an RSS feed if that suits your needs
Samit Sarkar's Destructoid Blog
Yeah, for cereal, you guys need to get Nex to guest on Failcast, so it can really be like Old Podtoid (not that it isn’t halfway there already).

Anyway, I was wondering...which of the promoted “Good Idea, Bad Idea” articles has been your favorite so far? I really liked Brian McWeirdname’s piece on silent protagonists, even though I disagreed with him on GTA III. I thought Y0j1mb0’s write-up on difficult games was also a good read.

Also, if you need c-blogs to discuss, check out my most recent post regarding EA’s extension of their exclusivity deal with the NFL (shameless plug). I know that most of you guys don’t really like sports games, but I thought it might spur some discussion anyway.
Toneman's Destructoid Blog
Who's got the best avatar?





Hint: It's me.




For cereal though, I really do wanna know which avatars your guys like.
madninja's Destructoid Blog
If you can have your own video game Justice League where you are the leader of, who would you put on the team?

Madninja is awesome!
HarassmentPanda's Destructoid Blog
Why is Cowzilla so awesome?

Why, no matter how delicious and filling, can an apple and cheese sandwich never be considered a meal?

In regards to hair: How do Necros and Cowzilla maintain such beautiful shine?
the GAMEGOBLIN's Destructoid Blog
Fuck you guys, BAWWWWWW-ing over some cold. Come up to our moose-huntin' syrup leakin' beer drinkin' igloo livin' motherfucking red white and more damn red flagged region of land known as Canada, or better yet Manitoba's vagina known as Winnipeg and tell me it's cold.

Actually it was better today than usual...
Spartacus's Destructoid Blog
Actually, I have the best avatar. It's just that it went away and I need to find it somewhere in the bowels of the internet again.

How important do you think avatars are (I believe they are absolutely required) and also, who has the best avatar?
zaqu's Destructoid Blog
