Our new Episode 7 is up on Podtoid.com photo

There's nothing like a creating a brand new web site, a national holiday, and the launch of a new console weekend to prevent the timely launch and production of a video game radio show! Now that we've lost enough sleep, camped our systems, bought our Wii's, burned through Zelda, and survived ... we bring you the ghost of Dtoid past, Podtoid Episode 7, recorded two days right before the Wii launch when Summa was the most envied person on earth for having one early.

Finally, you can now subscribe to our Podcast feed and easily access the earlier shows on www.podtoid.com, the new home of all things Destructoid podcast. Our feed has also been submitted to iTunes, so that will work when Apple stops eating turkey and is back in the office. Hopefully the thousand or so listeners we once had will find their way back to this new show, as we now have ... um ... six. Whoot!

In this episode your regular hosts and special guest Roly (You don't know Roly? Why, he's a random guy our community manager found on our Ventrilo server!) talk a lot about the Wii, the community, humping giant ceramic tigers, Elite Beat Agents as a contender for game of the year, my typing game and excessive peripheral device fetish, and more!

28:06 -- 39:39 ... Roly-- retail in Canada, his PS3 under delivery saga
39:40 -- 49:59 ... Merryl Lynch says 60 will win ... $100/box to stay?

I'd call dibs on a spot on a Podtoid, but I never have anything interesting to talk about.

12:28 "Janky"? I totally can't wait for Elebits, especially if it's not janky.

The longer the better in my opinion.

Oh, and I love the new opening theme and music. Intro gives me a very transformers-esque vibe.

Chris, thanks - glad you liked it. That is precisely what I was going for: Transformer feel.

Hey wait...put me on the show.

You can bet that I'd be all over the show if I had a mic, but alas, I do not.

Maybe I'll hop on Ventrilo later for the first time. I'm a tad on the shy side so even if I do hop on I might not talk at first

Summa way underrates Wii Sports. I've probably played that as much as I've played Zelda so far. The difference is that I play Zelda for like five or six hours at a time and I play Wii Sports one or two at a time.
