Failcast Episode 6: We Gots iTunes, Bitches!
FAILCAST | 4:47 PM on 04.10.2008 22 comments




Today is the day, ladies and gentlemen, the day Failcast joins the proud, elite ranks of those podcasts deemed worthy enough to get listed in Apple's iTunes store. Yes, you read correctly, you can now find Failcast listed along with such essential fare as The China Millennium Monument and French Maid TV. This basically means that Apple has welcomed us into the fold, and to celebrate, we're making a few changes. From now on, all shows will be recorded in Starbucks while listening to Damien Rice. The entire show is now Mac-produced, with longtime PC gamers abandoning their beefy machines for Apple's highly-priced merchandise. And of course, as soon as you download this episode, it will become obsolete and be replaced with a new version. We look forward to this bright future of pretentious bullshit.

I'm kidding, of course.

We do have a rather unconventional episode for you this week, or at least it felt like it to me. Our scheduled guest Gamegoblin was unable to make it, so we called upon our official Failcast sub Droobies to pretend to be Canadian in his place. All I can say is that it resulted in something that you have to hear to fully comprehend how awesome Droobies is.

Outline of Fail:
00:40 - Buenos DS LOLOLOLOL
02:15 - That's his girlfriend
06:40 - Failcast exclusive news!
07:40 - Community feedback time
11:10 - Reverse scissoring technique
12:05 - Congratulations Conrad!
15:20 - EVILE
15:35 - Can HP/MP be improved?
20:20 - If King is the core, should you shoot him?
23:35 - Things in video games that need to die
24:10 - Stealth in non-stealth games
29:00 - Fucking escort missions
31:40 - But the warnings about monsters are so important
34:20 - Cockteases are just empty promises
35:15 - Cut out the cutscenes
36:20 - Ice platforms have never been fun
38:00 - Bad characterization through dialogue
39:35 - Pauses in voice acting
41:20 - Gary Motherfucking Oak
42:55 - Should we abandon the term "gamer"?
47:00 - Grannies are pretty intense
49:59 - Shin Oni brings up toilet games
52:00 - Bathroom designated DS
54:50 - Random G.I. Joe references
58:40 - Perry Simm enjoys games that are easy
61:15 - The real reason why Droobies hasn't been talking much
62:15 - Failcast is finally on iTunes!

Music Credits:
OP: Viva Obama
Death Note OST
I'm a Gamer off of Pure Pwnage OST
ED: What's Up People by Maximum the Hormone

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else.
