Podtoid 22: The John Sweeney Angry! Edition photo

I'm sure some of you have already heard of the Beeb's John Sweeney going absolutely s**t-bonkers in the middle of a Scientology exhibit on psychiatry, and how it's, y'know, an industry (of death). Photos of dead babies and the like scattered about the place, like you'd see in any mental health practitioner's office. He hit a breaking point and defended his sanity as best he could in a beautiful explosion of journalistic fury. It was awesome.

If you're wondering what this has to do with Podtoid, well -- virtually nothing, except that the John Sweeney fury is the kind of passion that we'll be bringing to the table. That, and I really, really wanted an excuse to use that graphic. John, you're my hero. 

So, Podtoid 22! We're short a few sailors this week while we reestablish our routine, but never fear: you've still got a bit of Aaron Linde, a half-cup of Colette Bennett, a pinch of Chris Furniss and a half-gallon Ron Workman to fill your.. uh, podcast pie. Why'd I get saddled with this responsibility? I couldn't metaphor my way out of a paper bag. Anyways, our own Nick Brutal will also be joining us to bust some heads and keep us in line.

So, how 'bout some questions, then? Fire off them burning missives in the comments, and make us proud.

Is the problem with the Halo 3 beta the sacrifice made so that Aegis Wing could be free?

What do you think Wii games will look like after the up and coming Nintendo line up (Mario Galaxy, Metroid, and Smash Bros)? Consider of course that these games look atleast twice as good as any of the current Wii games. Also, is the PS2 holding the Wii back? (ports - graphics and bad controls) I guess what I'm asking is, what do you see in store for the Wii in the relatively near future now that the real 1st party games are making an appearance.

This is an issue that Ron sort of touched on last podtoid, and it's something I'm really interested in since most of my work background has primarily been retail, as well as my first "omg community blog post" is something I had written a while ago about it, so here it goes:

We're seeing stores like EBGames and other game retailers receiving less and less stock, running more sales more often to try to drum up more business, as well as more and more companies going the way of Steam or XBL for releasing content. Not too mention the fact that it seems that Live and even Playstation Network seem to be focusing more and more on digital distribution. My question is do you feel that brick and mortar stores will be going the way of dodo, or do they still have a chance against online purchases and digital download distribution? If you think they do have a chance, what steps do you feel are necessary in order for them to keep their doors open?

Oh also, is Sterling replacing Summa as the Executive Editor, and does this stem from Summa abducting young women and children in the night for his own sinful, sexual desires?

your thoughts on the TP version of Link in SSBB: should he be able to change into a wolf? Or should I just wait until the frickin' countdown timer finishes and then we discuss in fanboy fashion?

1. Is Linde as excited for Mass Effect as I am? (currently I get an instant erection at the meer mention of the name)

2. If Collete was the sole surviving female of a global disaster and had to choose one other Dtoid writer (sole surviving male) to begin the human race again who would she choose? Would you wear only leaves for authenticity? Will you take pictures of what that would look like?

3. You go back in time and have to kill either AC/DC or Queen, thus erasing their respective music from histroy. Who do you kill?

I blame Clown Shoes for this Halo 3 beta breakdown business...seriously though, do you think the Crackdown beta delay was intentional to allow Bungie to slowly open the floodgates so that server crashes and freezes would be lessened or prevented? Also: Now that Bob Barker's retired do you think there's a chance we can get him to be a spokesman for Destructoid branded Whistle Tips?

Having just purchased a PSP, I have to ask what decent, if not great games are on the horizon? The ones I'm looking forward to are Disgaea, FF:Tactics, and Castlevania.
