Tweeting mean things to Holmes is like kicking a puppy. A big adorably puppy.
Shame on you Internet for your figuratively puppy kicking.

I was just walking out of the school bus when Jessica Nigiri came out with the pink catsuit. Here's the thing; parents were sending their kids to pose with her and Suda 51, so that they can take pictures. I'm not sure how many of these complaints were by parents, than by the enforcers who were getting irritated by the people clogging up the lanes while taking pictures of Nigiri (this last statement is pure speculation on my part).
Lets play role reversal today. Your running pax. You have set rules about booth babes and your getting complaints on this rule . what do you do ? Please reply I'm curious.
Wow, whatever's in those glasses looks... strangely delicious.
Congrats on another great episode chaps. Jim, you were saying last week and you've said before how you don't get why people care and look forward to Podtoid so much. You and Jonathan are either too modest or don't know how great you are! This really is my highlight of the week, and you may be surprised to know that that's coming from a sane man with a busy life.
You get me through some tough gym sessions and its way too hard sometimes not to burst out laughing with many people around.
I'm very much looking forward to Podtoid 200, regardless of whether any plans fall through or not.

Ah-ha, I have found where the image comes from! Its called Green Milk Tea Jello, and I'm becoming obsessed with it for some reason. Am I the only one that really needs to try that shit?
Holmes, hearing you in the state you were in during the beginning of Podtoid was really depressing. There is no way you deserved any attack from the Penny Arcade guys. Your Pax coverage was fantastic and that video and article offered genuinely valuable criticism. Hopefully the PA guys can learn to not take things that are meant to be funny so seriously and stop being so fucking uptight.
@ marginallyclean- Great question! I will ask that if I can get Camille on Sup Holmes!
@ Brendan Wallach- I think I went over that in the podcast, and now that Penny Arcade and I are no longer on hostile terms, I'd hate to dig that up again.
I'll just say that I totally understand where the PA guys are coming from, and they run their show in a way that expresses their vision of what a videogame convention/celebration should be. If I were in their shoes, I would do things differently, but not because I think their way is "wrong". I just have different vision than they do, because I am a different person.
Hope that makes sense.

The beginning mood was definitely in a bad place. I am glad the energy picked up and you guys were back to the usual antics.
Holmes' two controversies both seem to turn on how groups of people are more accepting of behavior that amuses them. Be funny and you have license to ignore all sorts of social norms and get away with it.
So Duke Nukem's stealth booth babes didn't really amuse people, but things Suda is responsible for still do. So Suda's babes are more accepted by the current gaming community. Of course what's popular is always changing.
It's the same thing with Keith Apicary disrupting panels with the naked dancing. If that routine was funny to the majority of people, rather than annoying, I think he'd be getting away with it. It's like how stand up comics can talk about socially offensive stuff and not lose their job, but politicians can't.
Of course for the organizers of these big social events, they can't just base everything they do on what people like. They have to think about setting standards at some level above complete anarchy, and below E3. Because if there is a more serious social incident at the convention, and they are seen as irresponsible, that is their $$$ and reputation on the line, right? I think they made the right call on both of these, they're not responsible for rewriting arbitrary human modesty standards. Sounds like they got a bit fight or flight mode about the mild criticism, though, which is too bad.

When Jess can't have her tits-out while the Penny Arcade brethren actively promote dickwolves then there's a fucking disconnect.
Each year PAX seemingly becomes less about the fans and more about the PA core being total fucking hypocrites.

Jim, men will never change their ogling ways. Not that they should, sexuality is sexuality.
The point is that Jessica clearly didn't have a problem with appearing as she did, objectifying though it may be. If she was fine with it, what right does ANYONE else, male or female, have to complain?
All of this gender controversy is garbage as far as I'm concerned. We're all people, we're individuals, and we should all just behave how we want and not get offended by every little thing that doesn't mesh with our ideology. If we keep acting like men and women need to maintain some sort of forced etiquette between them, we're just perpetuating the "othering" each feels in the other's presence.

Ah, I knew that I shouldn't have asked if you really thought Jim Henson was alive... I just knew it was part of the joke, and yet I still asked to make sure. Ugh.
Anyways, good ep. The PAX stuff seemed to drag on a tad, but I do feel it was still an interesting discussion. And Jim's scheme was fucking hilarious as always.

I personally don't think women should show cleavage, because it makes having a regular conversation really awkward. I am 100% gay, don't get boobs at all (unless they're covered in chest hair), but when a woman who's showing cleavage talks to me I feel incredibly awkward, because I'm afraid that she's going to think I'm looking at it if I don't stare directly into her eyes 100% of the time, which is awkward in and of itself.
It's distracting. I don't like it at all, and I do my best to avoid women that dress like that. Does that make me a monster?
And if women should be allowed to show off whatever softcore bodyparts that they want because otherwise it would be intruding upon women's rights, then why can't a man wear assless chaps in public? The right to nudity isn't a basic human right, it's a matter of respect for the general public.
