How long do you think it will be before Brad/Chet becomes the spitting image of Abobo?

My Tuesday's are ruined.

I do not apologize for this.

I was always wondering why 12-16 year olds are always made fun of on your podcast? Yes I agree that alot of them run around in halo screaming "NAGGERs NAGGERS haha that was on south park I'm so funny" But a few of us aren't, I'm not really a fan of Halo and Madden (Sorry Browntown) but I'm more of a serious gamer. I just wanted to ask the podtoid crew that.
Thanks For Great A Great Podcast

PS Ive Gone Goozex crazy this week can you recommend any older 360 games not The Orange Box CoD4 or Bioshock I already Requested them

What rarely mentioned celebrity cameos in videogames have you been surprised by?

I.e. Ray Liotta and Dennis Hopper in GTA Vice City, David Duchovny in XIII, that Lex Luthor guy in Dark Sector.

I don't know if anyone's asked but what's your guy's records for doing the Braid speed run? I haven't done it in a while but I managed to get 58 mins.

With the Shadow Complex boycott going on, I have a hypothetical for you. If Shadow Complex would have been a game based on Orson Scott Card's "Ender's Game", would we see the same controversy? While I am aware the book itself isn't the issue, Ender's Game is his most critically acclaimed and beloved book and I feel that the "OMGZ Ender's Game video game" might be a louder voice than that of the boycott voice.

Also Topher, do you have any complaints

You guys always talk about Half Life 2, Metal Gear Solid, Bioshock, etc, but I've never heard you talk about Deus Ex, which is widely lauded as one of the greatest games ever made. I'd like to know if any of you have played it, what you think about it, and what elements of its gameplay, if any, might you foresee incorporating into the Bonerquest episode Bonerquest: Day of Sex.

If all of you were to be characters featured in Kurt Vonnegut's "Breakfast of Champions" do you think that he would have been generous in his description of your respective penises?

MY question: everybody has seen the sick resident evil zombie t-shirts that everybody wants. If you had the chance to create a t-shirt with the same overall design, what character or type of character would you use to do it.

So, I think the offset idea is bullshit. It sounds good on the surface, but it really only works in math equations. In real life, giving $5 to a homophobe is not canceled out by giving $5 to a gay rights organization.

What if you gave $1000 to the IDF, and they buy an RPG with it and use it to kill some Palestinians in the West Bank. Does giving $1000 to Hamas offset that? Or does it just prolong the war and increase suffering? It's an extreme example, but I think don't think it breaks the analogy.

At the same time, I don't think it's wrong to buy Shadow Complex. As Jim noted in the podcast, Card is basically an employee. A stupid, outspoken employee with a choir to preach to, but the only reason that there's a controversy is because Card won't shut up about it.

Buying Shadow Complex is not comparable to directly funding Hamas or the IDF. Just as paying your taxes every year doesn't mean you own some small fraction of an F-15 fighter jet, having bought Shadow Complex doesn't mean you paid for a page of Card's giant secret stash of gay spank mags.

Could someone please tell the sports-loving-chimp that he has to turn off his fan during recordings. What a fucking idiot...
