Update: Podtoid 19 is now available for download
[ On this week’s episode, our internet connection completely failed at life. As a result the episode sounds like it was recorded under water, and we apologize for that. Making the most of it, the Podtoid cast just chugged through it and many a bottle was emptied on an unsuspecting liver with special guest Chris Furniss. -Niero]

playing online against friends?
or
crowding around a TV playing against friends? (old skool like bond and the first halo)
Do you think it was a mistake to have the 300 video game a PSP exclusive? Do you think enough people will buy it? Will it make people buy a $200 handheld?
These are the things that are important to me.
Miks-yez-pit-lik
lawl finally we learn how to pronounce your name.
I've posted the pronunciation in comments like half a dozen times, and it's on my profile page. I'm debating making a forum avatar that just says "MIKS-YEZ-PIT-LIK GODDAMN IT!!!" My own fault for deciding on a nick that's practically unpronounceable. :)
Which was your favorite RPG from the 90's?
Your question answered!
my feelings:
- the launch of the n64; can nintendo keep up its amazing success of the snes
- How could they possible promote a game like smb3 with a movie like the wizard
- the atari jaguar; atari is not done!
What is the next game that dtoid is hyping up bigtime?
Can i get an Xbox 360?
This one is specifically for a Mr. Rob Summa. If you could travel back in time and prevent Nintendo from creating the Wii as we presently know it, and instead force them to produce a console that has HD but with just a standard controller, would you do it? Why or why not?
And another question to get to know a bit about you guys:
Throughout your entire lifetime, which console (or handheld) have you devoted the most time to?
how much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?
a) also married
b) engaged
c) have a girlfriend/boyfriend/girlfriend AND boyfriend
d) still single
@Nex: since when did you have your hair cut? preferred the long version. ^_^
and what movie is the article picture from?
Everyone on Dtoid is constantly wondering how Summa's life is going, so How is CA treating you Summa?
How did you (Summa) feel when Kevin P. on the loop mispronounced your name?
You go back in time and either have to kill Queen or AC/DC, who do you kill?
Did (or will) Ron invite any Dtoiders to the wedding? Linde as best man? Nex as flower girl? Summa as embarrasing/drunk uncle?
when are we going to be hearing more podcasts than just this one? what about that retoid people were talking about a few months ago?
1) Do any of you feel that multiplayer is overshadowing single player in general? Should it be?
2) With the advent of the Internet, have gamers become lazier in general? Since we can figure out the answer to any puzzle or section of a game with a simple search, have we become spoiled?
2) Is Greybush taking his missus on a honeymoon? Maybe to Redmond, perhaps?
Also I love the community nights that are going on. Any more ideas for some of the other days of the week?
Any of you guys play the new Sonic(Wii) yet?
Also, digicocks.
-TehuberOne-
And Dan, what a great question. Bravo. I'm sure that's exactly what Joysuq is talking about.
What is everyone really excited about purchasing that's coming out fairly soon?
Do you think that the Everybody Votes channel might possibly be a way for Nintendo to test online participation?
What's become of Shitty Movie Night? I've been busy with moving for the past couple of weeks and haven't seen anything since the DOA night.
Thanks again for having the best site evar! Dtoid 4 life!
How many?
Everybody knows that Nintendo have the most recognizable characters. Mario is the most recognized character in the world. They also have Link and Metroid as big characters. Microsoft sort of have a "mascot" with Master Chief but Sony has never really had one.
So to the question, i think. What are your guys' favorite "iconic" character, on any system, old or new. And what newerish character do you think will become iconic in the future and what about them makes them able to become iconic?
and to sort of answer my own question, Kratos is one of the few NEW characters that i really want to play more with and has the potential to become a real character that a lot of people recognize and cherish.
Also, namelessted's guest idea has been floating around in my head too...if we are bothing thinking the same thing, then the whole dtoid community is probably thinking the same...DO IIIIT!
Just to elaborate a little more- I skipped over much of the previous two console generations and was a casual gamer at best during those times. Half a year ago I bought a DS and then I picked up the Wii on launch day. Shortly after, I picked up a slim PS2 to play me some Guitar Hero. A week ago I bought a 360. And it is fucking awesome. And I don't think I'd have made the jump without first buying off on the pick-up-and-play nature of the DS or Wii.
Nintendo made me love gaming again.
Could it be that the Wii is just the entry-level-console/gateway-drug that turns casual gamers into hardcore gamers?
-What's your favorite peripheral, 3rd party or not
-Favorite game purchase of all time
-What's your opinion on Special Editions or Collector's Editions
I think if you pay money to play online, you have made an investment that you must protect. If you are a dick or if you cheat, you will probably (eventually) get your LIVE account banned and have to pay to create a new account. Also, you'll lose all of your achievements. I think MS has created a model that is self-governing in nature.
With Sony, there is nothing stopping you (achievements or money) from creating an ID just for cheating or being a dick. If you get caught or get your account banned, you can just go set up another one for free?
Is free really so great?
