I've sort of lost track of which YouTube videos I've posted and which I haven't, so I'm just going to default to another Louis CK clip.
No Sterling this week, sadly (but he asked me to pimp out SingSterling, and so I shall), but we've got Samit Sarkar as backup. This week, we're going to be talking about all sorts of random crap -- the Nintendo announcements, providing special services to people for buying new products, and Brett Ratner.
That in mind, ask us random questions (the best gets a prize), give us random Siegelpuns (the best gets read on-air), and give us random compliments (the best will earn you utter distrust and skepticism). Hit the jump and get to askin'.
EDIT:
Sorry, guys. Looks like Linde's out too and we don't really have the discussion subjects to sustain a full podcast with only three people (two of them dirty, dirty minorities). We're skipping this week, but we'll be back next Monday, I promise!

should I dump my girlfriend (of nearly four years who is also a best mate too) and go off with the hot Asian girl that I pulled last night?
"You don't need a skin flute to get "excited" about Wii Music."
Random question. Why is everything chipotle flavored now? Really.
Also for Samit: Fifa or PES?
"There'll be no sticks in your icky with PURE on XBOX360!"
"You'll finally see the light when you download Shining Force II"

You know what? I'm kinda glad I'm bad at making puns.
It was my impression that everybody knows that
A-well-a everybody's heard about the bird
B-b-b-bird, bird, bird, b-bird's the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, the bird is the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, well the bird is the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, b-bird's the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, well the bird is the word
A-well-a bird, bird, b-bird's the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, b-bird's the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, well the bird is the word
A-well-a bird, bird, b-bird's the word
A-well-a don't you know about the bird?
Well, everybody knows that the bird is the word!
A-well-a bird, bird, b-bird's the word
A-well-a...
Here's a question: how did the four of you find Destrctoid and end up writing for the site? Not everyone who listens to the 'toid has been here since before you guys all started... regale us with your rags-to-riches stories!
It's important.
Do like it when games let you make your own fun (like LittleBigPlanet) it is good in the fact you can have endless possibilities but if your not feeling creative you can't really play, your thoughts?
Nowadays it seems people hate games like GTA IV for being too realistic and just want fun are we eventually going to get to time where all games are really fake and not a very good story just to have very fun gameplay?
When game makers take ideas from each other (Saints Row to GTA:SA) people just let it slide but if you plagiarize in school your paper is a fail why is in okay in the gaming industry?
Is it not quite dickish for MS to pay for some gamers to not get a demo? how does it help their sales?
Doesn't shit like "Gamer Grub" support my (admittedly tiresome by this point) opinion that the term "gamer" is both unnecessary and lame? That its more of a marketing term than anything else?
Remember that retarded study that told us "gamers" are not fat, but they are stoners? Yeah, The evidence continues to grow...
Look to the future, you will agree with me eventually.
More importantly: does Nintendo's press event and what they revealed this week prove that they do care about the core gamer, or do they have to do more?
Of course I wouldn't pay for them. I would wait till some small child buys them and then jump him outside the store.
Also, I would leave a confession next to his broken body about how video games made me do it.
Yeah, I couldn't really come up with anything clever to ask.
I want all of you to try Dwarf Fortress, and see if you can make it to the 1 year Mark.
This is more directed at Rev, but it can be used for everyone.
Davidian- Machine Head
21st Century Digital Boy- Bad Religion
Gimme Gimme Gimme- Black Flag
"You don't have to be a FAN to enjoy the Wind Waker!"
"Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter is a BREATH of fresh air!"
"You can't spell Assassin's Creed without ASS!"
also tell samit he is a very sexual person :3
and dont worry you are all sexual
Also:
SingSterling: Discuss.
Samit: What do you so love about sports games?
Anthony: I saw your post about colourblind gamers, and wanted to know how you feel about people whining about current gen graphics being nothing but brown and gray.
Aaron: Have you lost hope regarding Mother 3?
Topher: Would you agree that FPSes are shite?
"You better be ready, because 'Iggy's Balls' will be 'Wrecking' your world"
"Fable 2 is just too fable-ous!"
Also, are there any games which give you a feeling of nostalgia that aren't necessarily retro? Maybe not a nostalgia for the actual place and time you played the game in, but for the game world itself? Hopefully that makes at least some sense.
Have a good show fellas.
i feel your pain
Samit which basketball game will you get 2K9 or Live 09. Or tell which one is better cause im still undecided.
Rev are you going to make HAWP shirts?
siegelpun: Instead of playing Lucas Arts Fracture, just fracture your bones, its the same amount of enjoyment!
I spent countless hours gleefully dunking and fouling in NBA Jam and as a basketball game it was not in the least bit grounded in reality. Do you think there's a place for these in the current market?
Okay, my question is: "Do you think Twitter is just another fad and will lose ground in 6 months or prosper?"
And for gaming-relevance: "Which is better, Super Smash Bros for GC or WII?"
Do you think this is something more companies should start offering though at an actual reasonable price? With the amount of games that allow people to customize their characters, this could become pretty popular. Can you imagine what people would pay for a customized plushy of their in game sackboy?
I also wanted to ask how you guys feel about the DSi's being region locked.
Also, Louis CK is brilliant.
Also, thanks for being the lone voice of reason during RetroForceGO's discussion of MM9 DLC, Rev.
Annnnd... I don't have anything of value to say or ask. As usual.
What is the podtoid crews day jobs and what qualifications do you have for being broadcast journalists? Or even journalism in general?
I'll also ask why you didn't bring up the "C-c-c-c-c-ombo breaker" sound clip during your discussion killer instinct a few weeks ago.
Also if Arron wants my play station Suikoden 2 I'll loan it to him. I just ask that everyone be allowed to break his balls about Ocarina of Time and that I can develop "Bonerquest," into an actual game. I've a few ideas on how to do it and would like your blessings before I went ahead with them.
Also Rev, how angry are you that Lucky Louie got canceled after one season? Great show or greatest show?
FACE!
