Podtoid 107: near death experiences photo

This week's Podtoid is about as enjoyably typical an episode we've ever done: it's got a good mixture of weird, unstructured BS'ing and Serious News Discussion. And the first twenty minutes consists almost solely of Samit-bashing.

You can listen to it here, as usual, or subscribe to us on iTunes.

Highlights include:

- As promised, twenty minutes of Samit-bashing

- Jim is prepared

- Penn and Teller's Bullsh*t!

- New revenue models

- Email me at reverendanthony[at]gmail[dot]com if you're pretty decent at modding and find the concept of working on a nonlinear zombie survival game appealing

This week's question prize goes to Xhumation, for asking a question so ludicrously out of Podtoid's scope that I consider it amazing Aaron Linde managed to come up with a response. Email us at podtoid[at]destructoid.com and we'll send you some stuff.

funny funny. Samit is going to break down, it's only a matter of time. I'm accepting over/under's on the day and date of his baseball bat rampage.

Sports aren't the problem, length and interruption are. Which we get better with time. Don't give in to the Samit! Fight the good fight! PSA!

Every time I hear you guys talk about inFamous I'm blown away by how much you missed the points. That anyone would dislike the mechanics or find the game overly difficult is inconceivable, though I did play Good on Hard I do plan to give "Neutral" a try on Hard once I get my copy back from my brother.

Samit (and anyone else who's looking to play it or has only played one side) it's really worth going back and playing through the second side of the story. If you thought anything in the story is interesting on good you'll love evil, and you'll pick up on a lot of clues pointing toward the "twist" at the ending that you probably just blew past the first time through.

Hm, If Samit leaves, who'll be the next whipping boy? As much as I am a fan of his work, my money is on mister Linde...

:3 I'm sure Samit will crack soon enough~

I felt bad after laughing about your guy's near death experiences story. Those were pretty insane.

@Rev. Anthony

I've been playing Research and Development, and while it is awesome and leaves me wondering where the hell is Episode 3(PLEASE NOW VALVE),I am getting stuck at the Antlion Boss battle.

After I slap-shot all the Antlions into their cages, I cannot exit Mr Whirley to operate the gate valve. Attempting to exit separates me from the vehicle but leaves the controls with the vehicle.

I read about a similar problem in your post about R and D, and I think I am experiencing the same bug. How do I get around this glich to finish the game? Please answer as soon as possible, as I think withdrawal is setting in:)
