Podtoid 15 appears. Command? photo

Brace yourself, folks: Podtoid 15 has been caught, gutted, skewered, and slow-roasted to perfection. Special guest Chris Furniss joined the Podtoid regulars for an epic battle for podcast supremacy; a battle which Mr. Furniss most certainly won. Hard to claim legitimacy in a production that spends 3-4 minutes talking about taking a crap. Admittedly, that was my fault.

Topics discussed include sandbox games, Hotel Dusk, Japanese gamers eating up Gears of War, and some big Destructoid news to sink your teeth into.

So go check it out, and try to ignore the shattered professionalism scattered throughout like so much confetti.

What do you all think about the upcoming Assassin's Creed release? Will it be the greatest game of 2007 or will it be another case of 'good idea, bad execution'?

Great podcast by the way. Keep up the good work.

I just want to hear Chris "Frodo" Furniss call out Faith again like he did in the last episode of Weekly Geek. I'm hoping for drama.

Do you think people actually want Crackdown or the Halo 3 goody packed with it?

Morrowind, or Oblivion?
GoW, or Halo?

And lastly, if Elder Scrolls 5 is an MMO, do you think that it would be a fun game to play if it were very similar to oblivion?

also, huge pussy, and cocks

What do you think of EA releasing yet another expansion of the Sims 2 this February, as well as three independent "laptop-friendly" spin-offs, The Sims Stories?

And what about the Mii Sims? Will this gain any foothold in places other than Japan (=Kawaii-land)?

@Nex: I just want to say I find your voice quite cute.. XD

Yes I also noticed that the last 2 Podtoids ended abruptly..

@Aetsen:you can't really really blame the Pope for expressing his concern like that.. It's his job, just like it's Jack Thompson's job to go after what he perceives as "morally wrong". At least the Pope doesn't go about making an ass of himself in court. And the Pope does not target games specifically, but the whole entertainment media in general.

I'm watching the Epileptic gaming thing now. You guys should seriously do something similar. Although, I'm not sure I could stare at Summa for that long. Then again he'd have more practice for another AotS:Loop "arguement."

Also, crunchy or smooth peanut butter?

Oh and keep up the good work I am really enjoying the podtoids. Oh and Aaron Linde, I started playing Earthbound and I am really enjoying it, do you have any other RPG's for any system you would suggest? (I am a huge fallout 1 and 2 fan)

What do you guys think will be the most under-rated game of 07? Any game that's not getting talked about but could potentially sneak up on the big guys like Halo 3.

Any news at all about the first Grand Theft Auto for the 360? Screen shots, previews, rumors, robots?

I was an early adopter of the PSP (i.e. Japanese Import) and I was wondering since I know movies are region coded, are the Konami titles Metal Gear Solid: Digital Graphic Novel and Silent Hill Experience region locked as well or are they considered games and region free?

I have a semi-serious question to ask about the blog. There have been rumblings that you guys are no longer swearing on the front page. Couple that with how Greybush was pissed at Ishaan for posting a picture of Peter Moore saying "Also, cocks," and it seems that the tagline "always unfiltered" is beginning to be meaningless.

Discuss.

I guess that wasn't really a question, but here's a similar add-on. Some of your news comes straight from the sources (e.g. Peter Moore), and in order for you to get the first scoop, you need to maintain good relations with these people and companies. Does that affect your propensity to post news that might weaken your relationship with the game companies? At what point does Destructoid stop being an independent gaming site and start feeding us only the news the companies want us to hear?

Why would they change the name from Unreal Tournament 2007 to Unreal Tournament 3? It is the 4th Unreal Tournament game being released. And the 2k3, 2k4, 2k7 naming works well and makes sense.

@Dex

Even though I don't work for dtoid I have been trying to give you my opinion about your question.. Obviously you understand that dtoid is growing and it's not necessarily a bad thing to look a bit more professional. I've read dtoid since June and I haven't noticed anything different. Any of these writers will still bash any company or person, big or small, at any time and I don't think that will ever change. Dtoid is seemingly becomming a powerhouse and it would benefit us readers much much more with each contact within the gaming industry that they can gain trust from. I don't think that not swearing in a post will lessen the quality of dtoid one bit. Plus us readers do plenty of swearing for them. I do like the question and would love to hear a response from Ron on this one..

Also, cocks.

"Ishaan has moved on to work on other projects."

When I posted this, I hadn't even realized that I haven't seen a front page post from Ishaan in awhile. You guys murdered him, didn't you!?

With Mario Kart 64 coming out next week, do you think that Nintendo is finally getting the hint to release actual good vintage games for the VC.

Addendum to Talon84's question. While putting out said game, are they screwing it up by not adding online multiplayer to it?

I don't know what's been asked or said, as I haven't read the thread for this yet. BUT, I do have a question:

With the oncoming release of Crackdown and the "Sandbox" genre obviously only just beginning to show it's true potential, what do you guys think Rockstar needs to do to keep in the race in this generation?

My advice to Dtoid: don't change your style, just because you're growing majorly. Just expand and find more people like yourselves, so you can get even more information and turn yourselves into a gaming info powerhouse, even more so than you are now.

And why do average overhyped games like Gear of War get so much praise.

Gears of War gets so much praise because most people, myself included, really enjoy Gears of War.

Does anybody know what actually entails content getting "certified" for Xbox Live? The Crackdown demo didn't hit XBL until after the whole game went gold, so I'm guessing (and that's all I'm doing) that it's not a game-functionality issue.
