Podtoid 16: Best Podtoid ever? photo

We've come a long way since Podtoid 1 and in that time we've learned to grow and evolve into the best damn podcast around (especially you know who with that boring one that I know you know I'm talking about). Now comes our delayed Podtoid 16 which could possibly be our finest work -- keep in mind we have very low standards. Enjoy the banter and just in case you're at work, remember this show is a tad explicit, especially in the beginning.

Please, as always, if you enjoyed this episode, Digg this Podtoid. Podtoid is also on iTunes: Use your brain and search for Destructoid on iTunes. Feel free to discuss here as well.

I like your podtoids, but you need to learn to speak one at a time... it can get quite confusing sometime.

Enjoyed every minute of it, the Konami speculation was hilarious. Plus the reading of the Craigslist ad, had me on the floor (maybe how do you know!)


A nice way to pass the day at work, and an amazing way to get those ugly looks from the boss.

Summa your leaving the East Coast for the West? You BASTARD you are dead to me!

In all seriousness

Congrats for getting away from the shitty cold coast and moving to the gold Coast! (See California has/had gold! I made a pun! I'm Witty too! Not just pretty ;)

Damn the internet at work! It's going to take 50 minutes to download! I guess I'll listen after lunch.

Well there goes any plans I had for ever crashing at your place (Yeh I was going to break in and surprise you!) when I'm in NYC clubbing with all the other club kiddies!


The Wii rant/debate/I'll fucking kill that you all chimed in on was funny, informative and down right confusing at the same time. Ah how I look forward to each podtoid.

Anyway now to make it appear like I'm doing work.

Keep up the good work, you guys are fucking exploding all over the place! ... Wait...

Seriously, I love your podcast, but you guys need better recording equipment. The last 2 podcasts got truncated at the end and the sound quality is pretty bad. Lastly, please stop playing music in the background while recording the podcast. You fuckers are hard enough to hear as it is.

Nothing, but love!

I agree with Colette.

Do you know any 5 year olds that can afford, or play a game on Live?

Nintendo gives the 5 year olds games, keeps fans happy with sequels and gives Microsoft and Sony customers in 13 years.

Ron added that music in, so blame him. As far as recording quality, it's a constant battle.

I really didn't think the music was that big of a deal, I mean it's not that loud? Maybe it's just cause I'm used to listening to people over music.

Hrn, you people seem to be a little obsessed with fucking children. Will I have to ring the FBI...?

Also, I have just had to turn the volume off because aaron is talking about the RE4 ending. Spoiler warning, focker!

i like the ambient music, but it makes those silent seconds seem just that much longer, and akward.

I would like to formally demand that summa changes his blogging name to "princess" and his icon to yoshi sucking off pope benedict.

Seriously though, nex's star > the photo. Also, will the destructoid theme be integrated into the potoid in the future(as in, do)?

First, i vote yes for Nex's star return.

second, the stuff with nintendo. Is slitting throats allowed? Ok, i fucking hate the way Nintendo is doing Virtual Console and online play. But for the last time, Nintendo isn't for kids! holy fuck. why do people still think that?

The Wii isn't just about getting kids into gaming, its about getting EVERYBODY into gaming. Just as an example, when i was home over christmas i had cousins and aunts asking me about the Wii. They have never asked me about video games in the 20 years of my existence and they were asking me about the Wii because they were really interested in it.

Its not just kids fucking around, its adults too. And for this audience that is being reached, graphics don't mean shit. My 50 year old aunt or 30 year old cousin won't fucking give a shit the difference between 360 and Wii graphics because they are used to solitare or some shit on the computer.

I just get pissed when people say Nintendo is for kids.

I feel embarassed now because that remark about someone thinking that Dyson was Rob came from me, but to clear that up, the only reason I said that was because I saw Rob on live was playing retail Crackdown as I was posting. I just wrote what I said wrong.

I r bad @ grammaphics :(
