Podtoid 128: Samit's Italian friends photo

Podtoid is Destructoid.com's official gaming news and discussion podcast. Actually, right now it's our only podcast, so I could probably just omit the "gaming news and discussion" bit.

On this week's Podtoid, the regular cast (minus Linde) discussed Medal of Honor, the temporary banning of javelin glitch users in Modern Warfare 2, and pretty much whatever Brad Nicholson could randomly scream to halt Samit's train of thought.

Also, Samit says something racist, and then says he's never played Portal. We spend the rest of the podcast trying to decide which is worse.

You can listen to the show here or subscribe to us on iTunes.

@pascuz46, Tyrian3
I don't think you should take it too personally.

Awesome, got my first question read on Podtoid! But hearing Anthony read it just made me realize how badly I articulated it, blah.

Great show as always guys.

As a fan of the Podcast, I never ever thought I would hear Anthony soberly, seriously, and consistently defend Samit; especially from Brad. It broke my heart a little bit, as the "Universal Antagonism of Samit" chapter of the Podtoid saga seems to have ended.

Samit go play portal, this is more important than the movies that you need to watch that were mentioned last week.

I'm half Italian, and I'm very offended that Samit called us stupid. He could have put some effort into insulting us by saying that our women all have mustaches or something, but instead he just goes with the generic "Italians are stupid" line. I'm very disappointed in you, Samit.

I was going to spell out my last name for Samit to emphasize that I am, indeed, Italian, but I am too stupid to type it all out correctly. :)

Is it a coincidence to anyone besides me that most of Samit's topics that were brought up in this podcast were already discussed on the Giant Bombcast's podcast? Just thought it was weird as I listened to this episode this morning and I listened to the bombcast ( i listen to ALOT of podcasts to fill the quiet empty void during work hours as I also listen to Rebel FM and PGR...WHERE'S MY RFG AND PODCASTLE~?!!?) 2 days ago and thought that their dialogue and Samit's dialogue were almost verbatim. I COULD just be hearing things though.....


Also, Jim being on the side of PC gaming along with Rev ant and Linde-smoltz (smoltz?) is the most awesome-est thing to happen since sliced bread met "I can't believe it's not butter."

Topher, can you post the link to your beedog trailer!?

@StriderX515: Now that I think about it, that's definitely possible, but it was certainly unintentional. I did listen to most of this week's Bombcast before we recorded the show last night, and that's never an issue because we almost always record on Tuesday night (whereas the Bombcast doesn't come out until Wednesday). Like you, I listen to many different gaming podcasts, including Rebel FM, so I do make a concerted effort not to spout opinions that I've heard elsewhere -- and if I do, I'll usually cite my sources, so to speak.

But then again, the news is the news, right? I mean, there was a bunch of stuff that happened last week that we didn't get to talk about last night, but a lot of news often has two sides that you can take, so you might feel like you're hearing points that other people have made, you know?

In any case, thanks for listening!

Don't worry samit, wasn't try to bash on you or anything I just thought it was unusual this time around (just like when i see double posts of the same exact articles *COUGH* website i'm not going to mention *COUGH*). Just like Jim (i think) mentioned on another episode that news gets repeated over and over again and it can't be helped that's just how the world works.

Also,

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOY.

Hey Anthony, can you furnish us with a video of you playing Uncharted before you say it's shit again? Because from all the complaints you've ever had about the game it sounds less like it's shit than that you are shit at playing shooters.

I was just playing it on Crushing last night (which is reasonably difficult) and every time I shot a dude in the head he died right away. It really sounds like you're redirecting anger that you feel with yourself for sucking at the game, which is still one of the best shooters of this generation.

@hpv: Anthony was referring to the first game. I definitely disagree with him -- it was my favorite PS3 exclusive of 2007 -- but the shooting in the sequel is much, much better.

It is a short game, but you have to wonder if making it longer would seriously improve it,

or if it would end up dragging it down if they ended up doing things like reusing ideas. In

any case, the real test of that will be when Portal 2 comes out, and we see just how far

the concept can go. But as a first game when considering all the aspects of it, like the

fact that it was released as a component of The Orange Box, and it isn't terribly expensive

as a stand-alone product, I'd say that its damn near perfect.
