Podtoid 20: Jägermeister & video games photo

[ Update: You can now stream it from Podtoid.com -Niero ]

This one's a fatty, weighing in at an hour and a half, but it's a good ride with guests like the lovely Jessica Chobot and Cheap Ass Gamer's Cheapy D.

Also, Destructoid's daddy joins the Podtoid, along with Colette, Aaron, and Hushgush, making this the episode you can't miss. As always, be sure to digg this Podtoid if you dug it.

Aaron Linde from Bellingham
Colette “Nakigo” Bennett
from LA
Ron Workman from Sarasota
Topher "Hushgush" Cantler from Hell

Episode 20 was a great episode, it was just about as late as CheapyD's 2006 video game awards but hey, it was worth it. You guys did a great job putting this one together with the intro, having a lot of good people on and keeping it organized. I noticed it wasn't a shit throwing fest now that Summa wasn't on and people actually got to talk in turn.

But maybe I am used to Summa, I was expecting somebody to put some emotion and anger somewhere in there. Even on topics like the PS3 Europe launch, the 27 different versions of Final Fantasy and whatnot you people were just kind of "meh". I wanted somebody to throw shit somewhere, but then again, at least Summa wasn't there trying to tell everybody how Sony Home is going to change their lives.

I should let you know that now that you have done your best episode ever, every episode after this has to be this good in quality.

And why is everyone still jizzing about LittleBigPlanet? Get your heads out of your asses and go look at what M$ is doing with XNA. Sony is talking all Game 3.0 with user created content and they are the only one doing it like they fucking pioneered the fucking idea when PCs have been doing it for 20 years. Holy fuck, you can make levels for a fucking game, so what? Sure, the game looks really cool and fun to play but I could get XNA on Xbox 360 and MAKE the entire LittleBigPlanet game if I wanted to. Or I could make ANY game I wanted, not just some fucking levels.

Yeah, but you need to be a programmer to use XNA...big difference!

There was this one part in the podtoid where there were two women talking in the background about relationships.... wtf? O.o

To make a fully unique game, yes you need to know C#. but there will be enough stuff to play around with that you will be able to do some stuff without it. But what I am saying is that Sony isn't the only company doing this stuff. If making levels in LittleBigPlanet is as easy as they say then I am sure there are some pretty significant limitations in the creativity of the user.

The best part about XNA is that a lot of code will be shared. Once somebody writes really good motion blur code everybody can just copy it and throw it in to their game.

Woah, XNA uses C#? Goddam. Not owning a 360 and taking little interest in XNA I guess I missed that one, might have to re-think things. Not wanting to be a massive geek, but does that meen its .net? Ok, I'll go goole it.
also, nice podtoid.

You know once you guys went into talking about games, it was actually a civil well thought out conversation about FF and the PS3 exclusivity topics. Me LIKEY!

Totally random half-drunk podtoids FTL! I want real news and opinions.

The cheapy/wombat intro reminded me of the old school scooby doo episodes where theyd bump into the three stooges or don knotts out in the middle of no where for no fucking reason except to have them in there. But in a good way.

Scooby Doo reference FTW. It was a really great episode. Even when you guys talked about drinking and stupid shit you didn't really talk over each other that much. Perhaps it was a bit less... lively, but stayed on topic and was way more informative than the ones I've listened to (since # 7).

Chobot's OK.

But this fucking site will continue to suck until Chad Warden is given his own podcast.

Love the intro. Nice to hear Niero. Where was Summa? He keeps things in check. Too long with the drunken nerd stories.

How are you guys saying the PS3 did poorly in Europe or in England, It clearly sold better than the competition. Seriously I love your site for its entertainment value but for news I always go elsewhere. No wonder your GDC coverage was garbage.

I've been meaning to not use ElfAngel7, but I've been using it for the past 8 years and am too lazy to come up with anything else. Besides that, great show. Bring Niero back more often!

ppl just can't believe sometimes that hot girls can actually enjoy video games. I think poor chobot gets flak all the time from "hardcore" gamers, yet who the fuck cares. She was hillarious on EG and seemed well informed.

Big up to Chobot! and to CheapyD cuz he's baller w/ that voice
