Podtoid 136 is the beginning of a new recording date photo

Podtoid now records on Mondays because of LOST.

Don't ask.

Anyway, I know we'll be talking about the death of Cursed Mountain's developer and how that ties into the place (or lack of one) of mature fare on the Wii, but beyond that it's more of the January news slump. Samit will probably try to help out with a few topics but, if things go as they did last week, we may just discuss last week's large releases and rely on some listener questions.

Which, of course, is where you come in. Start asking stuff.

Also.

Anthony, did I ever tell you that I was able to get my best friend into Destructoid because of you? She loves the beard.

Also, with Tatsunoku vs Capcom being an awesome hit, what other companies do you really want to see fight Capcom? Personally, I want to see Sega vs Capcom.

How do your wives and girlfriends feel about the fact that you have skype sex with 4 other guys every week?

Also, is THIS why Rev hates gay people? Cause he's closeted to his family?

So I'll have a new podtoid to listen on tuesday because of Lost? AWESOME.

Lately i've been thinking about character design (from a visual standpoint).

What makes a character visually appealing to you? quirkiness and odd appearance? belts and zippers? massive boobs?.

Because Lost is fucking amazing. I get it :).

Question: Mako or scanning? I enjoy scanning a lot. Gives me time to unwind after a huge battle.

With the current onslaught of games, how can a person be expected to keep up with everything? By essentially combining the Christmas rush with the new-years releases, do you think that some game companies are shooting themselves in the foot?
Also, does this mean that we'll have another Summer game drought?

Topher, a person I know recently came in possession of a copy of Radiant Silvergun, never opened. Should I kill him and take the copy of the game for myself? He will not be missed to much.

Jim on a scale of 0 to 4.5 out of 10 how would you rate Mass Effect 2? Would you also agree that it's the worst game ever made?

Samit have you played Mass Effect?

Aaron, I was going to ask you a riveting question that would've spawned a terrific discussion about videogames but you're not going to be on the podcast.

Do you think Heavy Rain will change anything once it's released? Gameplay or story wise?

By now most of you have played Mass Effect 2, who is favorite character?

And recently I was checking out the Gamestop new releases and saw Shadow Of Destiny listed for PSP, I played a bit of it back when it came out for PS2 and picked it up mostly because I remember it being awesome. Do you guys think that ports should get some coverage, or is it not worth it to keep up with every single release all the time?

Why must Samit ruin everything? #Lost #Yankees

I just want to ask Chester why it took him 16 hours to beat NMH2. Even doing all the side jobs and dying frequently it took me 10 to so, so i am just curious as to why it took him that long. I am not saying its a bad thing, i just want to know what he did for 16 hours.

Moral choices in video games generally make you choose between "angelic" and "psychotic". Mordin's loyalty mission in ME2 seems like the first complex, nuanced treatment of truly ambiguous moral issues I've ever played. Can you think of anything else that even comes close?

Tatsunoko Vs Capcom; good game on wii or greatest game on wii. Haven't play my wii so much since the dam thing came out. So if you have been playing what some of your favorite characters to play with? Also what do you think would be an awesome combination in the next vs. series.

What is a game that you've put the most time into? For instance I've put almost 90 hours into Demon's Souls, and over 200 into Monster Hunter Freedom Unite.

This is however, discounting MMO games, as they are specifically designed for being a time sink.

Have you even given up on the final boss of a game, maybe because of a high difficulty increase or you didn't prepare well enough beforehand (or a combination of both?)

Since you all brought LOST into the discussion with your post, what do you guys think so far of the 3rd season of Chuck. You brought it up several times last year during its second season, so I don't suppose you'd like to give it a little more publicity.

What are your thoughts on the iPad? Shouldn't they have demoed a RTS, tower defense, and/or a point and click adventure game instead of Need for Speed and NOVA?

Also, given that it supports hardware keyboards, wouldn't it work for Flash games like VVVVV if ported to the App Store?

I was going to save this question for when retroforce comes back, but since that is questionable, I shall ask it here.

If you had the ability to interact with fiction (either by going into the world of a book/movie/game, or by taking something out of that world IE taking the portal gun out of portal), what would you do with your newfound ability, and why?

What can mass effect teach potential universe makers about doing so interactively? Also can you think of any other games or series that are reactionary to the players actions and not just causing the player to react to set actions. So yeah true nonlinetary is what I'm talking about and I would like to see it more.

Playing Bayonetta, I noticed that the game rewarding you with Umbran Tears of Blood for each Achievement gave me a new reason to go and get them all. Normally I'm an achievement whore, not because I want the Gamerscore, but because I've always been a bit OCD when it comes to completion. I'm the type of guy who will refuse to go to the final boss in a Zelda game until I have finished all the side quests.

After comparing the Umbran Tears of Blood, to the weapon unlocks through achievements in TF2, I was just curious to your thoughts on the concept. Clever? Could be better? Dickmove? Discuss.

My main choice is parenthood. I'd like my villains to have a family for once.
