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!
