hey anthony, its baaaaaaack

Comedy gold..., I oft times wonder why Samit is on the podcast. He is either the nicest guy ever and just refuses to defend himself, or he loves the punishment.

Atmosfear! I totally remember that, Jim you totally should have done your Gatekeeper impression.

I think we should implement a Worst Comment award too.

Best comment gets a sway bag or whatever.
Worst comment gets a fart in a box mailed to them.

Funny enough episode, but seriously?
Get off Samit's back.
I don't know him personally, so I don't really give a shit about how he takes it (no offence), but it's unpleasant to listen to, and I end up having to skip the first 20 minutes of the podcast because the rest of the crew appear to be gangbanging him.
Just sayin'.

I think Samit asks for it, by being incredibly nit-picky. He speaks about things that no one on the podcast cares about, such as what programs he has open, even when others are saying "We don't care!" His stories are painful to listen to due to his constant self-interruptions of "like" and "you know". I'm sure he's a nice enough guy in real life, but goddamn, he's the worst part of Podtoid.

I think it's OK for me to be bored with it, Sterling.

I will say that is has gotten just a bit stale. Still funny, just a bit longer than it needs to be. Why don't you guys make a Samittoid dedicated to all things Samit one day?

CHUFMONEY!! Bring him on, RebelFM is good times.

I love how Adam is the M.Bison of chicken nuggets.

I'd just like to point out that if you never bought Halo 3 then ODST is actually worth the $60. I never bought it, and I almost did recently just to check out the multiplayer as I played through the campaign at a friends house. Then I realized that the entire Halo 3 multiplayer is included in the ODST package.

Cool story, bro I guess but this wasn't brought up...I guess I may be the only one who never bought H3.

Great episode guys!

@BulletTrain I think that it is more like: why let them go and buy a used game at gamestop for $2.99 than to pay us 9.99, but same thought pattern...

Goddammit i meant ''Not to be dicksucking''..

This scene isn't in Freddy's Dead, so its far from being better than The Goonies

Anthony Gallegos is awesome but not because of RebelFM, GFW Radio is pretty much the best gaming podcast of all time.

Please... get rid of Sammit... I'm sick of hearing him huming and whatnot.

Samit tells stories like my dad. Putting in "um"s and big pauses, so you think he's going to say something interesting, but instead just meanders and can't just get to the point.

And I find it hilarious. Maybe it's because I'm used to it. But really, Samit's so damn lovable that I can't get irritated with his long stories. But really, I don't see any need to say "RAUGH KICK HIM OFF THE PODCAST".

And a hearty "get a fucking sense of humor" to the Samit Defense Force. Everybody just relax and stop taking things so seriously. You act like they're beating the guy bloody with shovels or something, as opposed to good natured ribbing.

by the way, Super Mario Bros. is a far superior movie to Resident Evil. Though it still sucks greatly, it's more akin to the Mystery Science Theatre magic you're all capable of.

I hear there was a hilariously awful Forbidden Siren movie, but from my understanding you guys all hate that game.

Nothing sucks as much as resident evil the games. The movie has something you could call "acting" and you don't have to put up with the ass wrothless gameplay.. And only one might scare you of you are on drugs and it is not the games.

and the super mario movie is like shakespeare if you put it next to something called resident evil.


Also Samit tells stories and has better acting than anybody on the entire resident evil series of games and movies and he is also more scary than the entire resident evil series.

Hahahaha, someone put "gay" into Jim's mouth when he was searching for an insult about a minute into the podtoid, and then you take my question about homosexual slurs.

I wasn't really going for Jim and Aaron having a long conversation about how much they love "the gays". My question ceded the point that you were joking around, but your conversation is being published to the world at large. I was hoping that my linking Card and your schoolyard insults would get you to realize that not everyone is in on the joke. To me, there's no difference between a kid on XBL calling someone a "dicksucker" and when you guys do it. Sure, he'll probably say he doesn't hate gay people in real life, but it still makes him sound like an idiot.

As for comments about dick sucking and the like being used for humor, I find it to be incredibly lazy. There is a world of difference between the humor derived from The Office's Micheal's treatment of Oscar, which works on many levels (including social commentary), and the idea that Anthony sucks dudes off. I'm sure the tweens find the latter hilarious, but I'm approaching 30 and maybe not the podtoid's targeted demographic. I also think Sterling's reasoning that he's helping de-power offensive words and bring about social change is horseshit. My instinct tells me that the easy laugh is his only goal.

I reposted the question because Jaffe, who seems like an intelligent, articulate person with a working knowledge of internet culture, responded incredulously to Anthony's use of "Indiefag". I could tell from his voice when he requested the question be repeated that he lost respect for his interviewer in that moment.

and anthony should be able to use the word "indiefag", but he should also recognize the word has a very different connotation for him than for most, so when in unfamiliar company, he shouldnt be surprised if others take offense. the layer of irony that anthony attaches to it is not something most others would share.

I love Chrome...>_>

xeroxpunk,
i see your point about not distinguishing themselves from xbl children. I guess for me, since i can tell the difference, i dont care how they appear to those outside. im not worried about them as ambassadors for gaming, because i think most people wont be convinced one way or the other about gaming through logic, gaming will reach respectability when enough gamophobic people die of old age.

i do hope more developer interaction comes to destructoid. so if necessary, that indiefag anthony better watch his mouth if it jeopardizes that!
