Podtoid 109: Dried grapes

Podtoid 109: Dried grapes photo

I fear one day will come when Podtoid stops becoming about actual gaming news and almost solely becomes a weekly delivery of sex and sports jokes.

Then I realize that happened about twenty episodes ago, and I stop worrying. 

This week's Podtoid can be listened to here, as usual, or you can subscribe to us on iTunes.

Highlights include: 

- Be prepared for Robert Patrick's Double Dragon next week

- The Red Star is good

- I just realized we legitimately do not mention Half-Life or Metal Gear Solid a single time throughout this entire episode

- I think we should get an award or something

Our favorite question this week came from Stevil, who gave us all opportunities to talk about games nobody else has ever heard of. Email us at podtoid[at]destructoid.com and we'll send you a swag bag.

Nope Anthony, you're wrong. Samit mentioned MGS4 when he e-stalked you in the games of the week section.

MGS OR HL2 MENTIONS ARE INEVITABLE!

So, if you guys didn't mention HL2 or MGS, did you mention Braid?

If you mentioned Braid, you're still not getting an award.

Oh, you also mentioned a HL2 mod, which totally counts.

@ Guagloves

I would post some, but there hasn't been anything punworthy released recently. However, I've got one for next week.

Hey! Mine made it to a header after all! I wait with baited breath till I find time to listen. Tell Linde not to stress about being singled out. I'll get to you all eventually.

Red Star has been, and always will be, fucking awesome. It was my first manic SHMUP experience. It started a need to pursue games that have waved shot patterns you have to avoid. Its beautiful when you can get locked in to "the zone."

To you guys that mentioned sucking at strategy RPGs, I would highly recommend Jeanne D'Arc on the PSP. It's a great game that is fairly "simple" as far as SRPGs go. It goes for $20 or less just about everywhere I've seen it, or you can pay a slight premium and get the download off the PSN.

I remember Game Informer saying that you can't shoot or slice straight in The Red Star. Maybe the reviewer just sucked at it. Wait, WTF!! It was published by XS Games?! That's the third time I've seen them today! Now I don't know what to think.

As for turn based strategy games, I was playing Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and I'm on the last battle. Slight problem, though. The final form of the last boss keeps killing my leader (Ike) in one round of attacks. The bad ass lion that I summon can do a little damage, but the motherfucker heals a bit of damage on every turn and then proceeds to rape everyone out of the way until he gets to Ike. So, yeah, I played for 50 hours and I don't know if it will be possible at all for me to beat it with Ike at the level he's at now or even if I max him out at level 20 since he wasn't too high of a level when he changed classes to Lord...

Uh, yeah. Really long comment. Yeah, I hate (maybe too strong of a word...) most fighters, but I love Super Smash Bros Brawl and Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3. Though many consider these to not be fighters. Those and occasionally Mario Kart Wii are practically the only multiplayer games I play, actually.
