Podtoid 130: wild speculation photo

That anime guy is one of the first Google image results for "wild speculation." No idea why.

This week's episode of Podtoid, Destructoid's Official Podcast That We Do Every Week, is considerably less intense than last week's (as little as that's saying). The regular cast minus Aaron and Brad discussed sports, the Steam Holiday Sale, game protagonists, and wrasslin'.

Checked into it and the name of the anime that is from is Zegapain. Seems to have something to do with out of body matrix like crap and mechas. I think.

Don't give Samit a single second to talk about what games he's been playing until he plays Portal. Seriously, there's no excuse for not playing it.

you should cut out ten minutes of sport's game segment to create a new segment called 'quick hits with Brad Nicholson'

This Podtoid was the coma after Brad Nicholson's rampage worthy of a heart attack. It was pretty boring imho.

Samit has no right to complain about people telling him to play Portal. It's your own fault, dude. Play the damn game already!

Ok, I found it kinda entertaining how badly Jim failed at CORE, not getting past the first level, but at least for CORE's review he refused to score it. What you ran into was an extra side area that's not necessary to go through, it's just a dead-end room with some loot in it. Yes, it's a dick move of the developer to have you get ambushed by elementals without warning in an unmarked side room, but that's not much of an excuse to quit the game instantly and then give it low score.
You should've kept playing, saw how truly bad it CAN get (seriously by like four or five hours into the game you realize that every single skill but Dodge, Regen, Berserk, and like three of the magic trees are completely fucking worthless waste of skillpoints), and then given it a terrible score.

Despite that though, I actually did play through it and beat it. I almost didn't because the game crashed on the last boss, and now in the new game+ content it's crashing every three minutes on me, making that shit a total waste, but whatever. I'm desperate for dungeon crawlers that aren't horrible grindy bullshit like the Etrian Oddyssey or Dark Spire games. Despite how poorly balanced and thought out Fighting Fantasy is, at least it never once made me grind rats and bugs for twenty hours to progress past that room with the rape elementals.

It now occurs to me after I click "Add comment" that I probably should've mentioned "Fighting Fantasy" sometime before the final sentence of the comment. Yeah, the above comment is on Fighting Fantasy.
(also I haven't read the review I'm just commenting on what was said in podtoid)

Good christ, Samit is unbearable for me to listen to. He smacks his lips at the end of each sentence. Right in between all of his "um's" and "like's." Stop it! Just... stop.

Portal is over-rated like everything Valve puts out. Good, solid game, and it has a neat mechanic. Nothing earth shattering though.

also anybody at X10 actually ask what the new stuff thats taking down the old stuff is other than the removal of the friends cap...something I honestly didn't need.

because I think there should have been at least one drunk MS employee stumbling around with loose lips.miami altocraft generators
