No Linde and no Samit for this episode, but we do have Topher, Jim, Brad, and Conrad. You will please to be enjoying it anyway.
Listen to the podcast here, as per usual.
This week, the Podtoid crew discussed Brutal Legend and Tim Schafer's subsequent "you're doing it wrong" email, Modern Warfare 2's crappy PC version, and Brad Nicholson's desire to see a dragon ride on top of another dragon.

on to the double down. i'll fuckin eat man. i'll eat anything.
first: Brad is awesome. He should get a movie. Tagline: The world will never be the same once you've seen it through the eyes of Forrest Pumped.
Second: i guess that the price in the uk was increased due to the fact, that many german (and austrian and probably other european) customers import their games (and hardware) from britain, it's surrounding islands and other parts of the world. Because # it's much cheaper # german dubbing usually sucks # many gamers believe that the german version got cut. I think Sony (or somenone else) already intervened on this issue, because i can no longer order some PS3 games from the likes of amazon.com or playasia. With amazon.co.uk and the international waters like ebay, ordering still works fine. But importing MW2 from any of these places isn't really worth it, because of the nearly identical price.
Thanks Brad Nicholson.
Is KFC partnering with Life Insurance companies now?
Is this why the Double Down sandwich exists?
Also, thanks for helping out Conrad Zimmerman.
By using this mod in Oblivion:
http://www.fileplanet.com/185474/180000/fileinfo/Elder-Scrolls-IV:-Oblivion---Aaktosh-Dragon-Mount-v1.9-with-Extras
and play as one of those dragon-like humanoids then by that nature you are riding a dragon while being a dragon.
As far as modding is concerned, people will find a way to do it, the game just won't have built in support for it, I believe. The real tragedy is the lack of dedicated server support. Finding a great server to play on all the time is one of the best things about online PC gaming. By finding a good dedicated server to go back to you assure yourself of a decent connection. Plus, if it's well moderated, you don't have to put up with any bullsh*t from griefers.
I played a ton of COD4 on PC almost exclusively on a server operated by the gaming community I was a part of at the time. Now it's $10 more for less game? I am seriously reconsidering what once was a day one purchase for me.
I love BL and will always love it.
I got such a nice feeling as I ordered it. It felt like I was giving a giant finger to the health nuts and diet worshipers that I despise with all my soul.
And then it was terrible...
So by sticking with a P2P multiplayer, Infinity Ward is completely eliminating the possibility of competitive gaming in MW2. No one wants to play an online PC shooter with (for example) a latency > 100ms, hosts dropping out of the game or poor connectivity for every player only because the host has a slow internet connecting (or someone else starting to download some porn on the hosts LAN). That'd set PC gaming back for like 15 years..
I'm a QuakeLive player. Yes, I think it's a big deal, that QL can't be modded, but if that game also wouldn't have dedicated servers, I think that nobody would play it.
