Axe Cop. Read it.
Another Podtoid records tonight, and we're as desperate for conversation fodder as ever. Since we can't talk about Axe Cop, that effectively halves my planned discussion contribution this week.
We need listener questions, so ask them below.

Also, ME2 question. What class did you play, and did you ever regret it for any reason?
Do you just accept the fanservice or see it as negating from the point of games?
Games are for playing. Porn is for ... porn
I mean this as in games that are including pointless sex scenes (Dragon Age, Assassins Creed 2 etc) but also games like Bayonetta: A PlatinumGames title thats finally reached a pop following but only through the sale of sex.
Jim, does this mean that Heavy Rain should be judged on different scales than how you would review a "typical" video game?
Could this possibly turn into the next "Mirror's Edge and Prince of Persia are Innovative so give us a better review score" debacle?
For those of you who haven't, what are your thoughts? Are you getting the game soon or maybe later?
Are there any games you like (except Half Life 2), because you seem so fixated on the flaws of (good) games, that you sound like you hate every game you talk about.
I think it relates to other mediums' "indie" sects, like "indie" music, which often boils down to pretty-sounding poetic pop that has no soul.
In other words, should Heavy Rain get the Axe Cop treatment?
2. @Topher: Why doesn't Beedog have a lisp, since he always has his tongue hanging out?
So now that Samit has a 360, what 2 year old game (that's not Bioshock) will he talk about this week?
Also, thanks for Axe Cop it's so awesome.

what do you think of the white knight chronicles game? Different enough to stand away from jrps or will it get swallowed up by ff13?
Black Books or Spaced
Bioshock or Mass Effect
Bioshock 2 or ME2
Obviously Samit's opinion is void on the last 2.

What's your favourite part of your least favourite game? For me, I find the concept that Star Ocean: Till The End of Time has an ending very comforting when I'm thinking about death.
For me, it was the 2002 Xbox full-contact futuristic ultimate frisbee game Deathrow (read "death throw") that my friends and I were recently introduced to. While we can't actually stomp on each others' faces in real life, the IRL analogue of this game has proven to be ridiculously entertaining despite the fact that I am terrible at sports.
P.S. What’s Brad Nicholson’s shoe size?
Also cocks
unrelated but does anyone know how to use the three seashells from demolition man?
More importantly, if I listen, does that make me a question?
What was your favorite superbowl commercial?
what game do you think would make a good TV show?
@Topher: RetroforceGO! Now. Also, I'm interested in playing SHMUPS, but I haven't played one in a long time, do you have any suggestions for what i should start out with?
Could you mix your They Call Me Mr Driving idea and Axe Cop to create the most awesome/idiotic videogame in the world?
Or are they just the same side of two coins, ie. similar but separate?
I'd like to hear a discussion between Anthony and Jim (and anyone else) about Jim's article "Indie games don't have to act like indie games." How do you feel about the points Jim brought up? Agree? Disagree? DISCUSS!
I hate sports games, but the Tiger Woods games look pretty cool. Do previous years get outdated quickly or would I be okay going with an older year like 08 or 09 so that I don't have to pay 60 bucks for my first plunge into sports games.
For everyone else that plays Final Fantasy:
I heard Linde and Brad mention a few episodes ago how Square was winning them back with FFXII, and I was wondering what exactly about it you loved? I'm about 50 hours in and I'm seeing the story as the high point, but I'm not a big fan of how the gameplay progresses.
Side-note: When FFXIII releases you guys should have Dale North on.
