Podtoid 23: Kerouac couldn't make it ... [UPDATED! AGAIN!] photo

A new week, a new reason for Nex to rack his brain coming up with pertinent reasons to post pictures of dead proto-hippies!

Podtoid 23 is being recorded tomorrow, and it wouldn't be a Podtoid without reader questions. That's where you come in! Hit the comments, leave questions, comments, concerns, pictures of ducks or anything you'd like to say about the overrated stream-of-consciousness mess that is On The Road

The cast:

Nex - Your Host

Aaron Linde - Luke Duke

Ron Workman - The littlest reindeer 

Nick Chester - Because we couldn't get an Englishman ... 

and Colette Bennett - Nex has no ability to schedule these things 

As a special bonus, in lieu of Colette "Devourer of Giggles" Bennett, who has had to travel back to her home planet to prevent a civil war, we will be graced by the lovely Aktrez, and the Daryll Hall to her John Oates, Virtualgirl.

Now please resume the question deluge.

[UPDATE: You should really just forget I've ever said anything about anyone ever. Colette is, unfortunately, taking a cross country road trip with three close friends and a friendly space alien they met in the woods near Costa Mesa. The goal is to reunite the creature with its space ship.

All of this, of course, is a lie, but the truth is far too horrible to comprehend, and our human language has no words for the unspeakable terrors involved.]

What if I told you that when I received my shirt, you included two business cards both declaring it to be a different limited number shirt? What if I kept both cards? What if even now, I'm writing about it, in the dark heart of the Internet. Just waiting, waiting for the right time.

Too blog about it.

You feeling sweaty yet? That's fear my friend.

You did. And I.........I must write about it. And I got extra stickers, so Toneman...... you will now assume the 'less than a man' position for my amusement. Because I have MOAR.

With the new PS3 update coming out yesterday adding upscaling for ps1/2 games... and media streaming finally.

How big of a role do you think console updates are this round with the 360 adding big features twice a year and the constant updates from sony?

Are you happy with what blizzard are doing with Starcraft II? Would you have preferred an MMO or a more overhauled RTS? Me I'm happy with what they're doing.

Ron - We need more info. on your ramblings on the possibility of a new Diablo. Are they working on it? D3 coming in 2010?

Just how awesome did you think the new Assassin's Creed trailer look? Awesome or super Awesome?

WTF is up with harmonix and guitar hero 2 DLC/encore 80s version for 360? Wouldn't it just be better to release a guitar hero one "encore" and 80's for the 360 as one big pack for 30-40 bucks each in ms points? Also what are the general thoughts on rock band? Does wii's new line up give anyone more hope to the minigame madness that the wii is becoming or are you all still fond of well made minigame um. . . games. Is the idea of putting an axe on a gun the most win ever in halo 3?? Am I the only person hooked on fucking pokeman's still?
When will the site redesign hit?
Has Microsoft responded to Thompson's suicide run??
Has anyone played wartech or Odin sphere and can give impresions?
Is sony getting back on the ball finally? Will they ever apologize for being/having been pompous fuckholes out of touch with the modern gaming comunity? What are predicitons for this holiday season, will they cram all theyre games into one season as susual or does it seem that they are spacing out some releases alittle bit better?

1) Which video game character do you relate yourself too the most?? (ex. Workman = Redneck Rampage's main star)

2) Spinning off the Peter Molyneux's clip about Fable 2 and love... Now we know that you will be able to sense that the dog will love you, and you may love the dog. Also you may make love with other characters in the game, BUT will you be able to make love to the dog???

Am I the only one who hates this non-game/casual game phase that the DS (and presumably the Wii) is going through. I don't mind it too much, but some of these games that are coming out are horribly pathetic. Walking dogs, using an abacus, learning Japanese.

What does everyone else think?

i want to know how you guys feel about the Wii. we all know summa hates it because he's secretly a gay in the closet still. but think about this, the Wii is the only system that is JUST about games. and that my friends is why i dont want half a computer/game system. i would rather have my game console and my PC be seperate.

Rad Scorpions... What's so rad about them?

But seriously folks... *cough*

In your minds what are the possibilities and pitfalls that arise when someone decides to resurrect old and beloved IP's (Fallout vs. Shadowrun for example)?

Is it better for the developer to attempt to recreate/evolve the original experience or to create something new from that conceptual core?

Also, when will you make a countdown page for your podcasts? Get with the fucking program already.

How do you pronounce my name?

Also, what is everyone's opinion on the current casual game hotness? Will it help the industry by bringing in more players who will eventually graduate to more traditional titles, or do you think developers will forsake the hardcore to focus just on the casual market? Is it just a trend like the influx of GTA-style titles a few years back that will level out over time?

Phoenix Wright is an awesome game on cell phones, but no one talked about it. If more quality games came to mobile phones, would anyone start to care?

When will the PS3 ever catch up with the 360 in sales? Will it ever?
brad drac's Avatar - Comment posted on 05/24/2007 14:47
brad drac
Given that the ps3's sales are dropping steadily, and with no price drops or sure AAA hits this fiscal year, that shows no signs of changing, and given that the 360 continues to sell only moderately well, with no great spikes for any games, which undermines their vie for this generation's top console, and given that the wii is surpassing absolutely everyone's expectations in sales, in much the same way as the DS did before it, how do you think this will affect the industry of gaming as a whole?

dvddesign stole my joke, the bastard...

What's up with all that “JUST for games” stuff? Maybe the Wii is also a voting for the stupidest shit machine. Maybe it's also a machine for checking yesterdays weather. I posted this from my Ninty Wii btw.

@ to all who wanted to post "junk" pictures.

I'm an evil motherfucker with lighting fast Google reflexes, what can I say? Maybe it's my man-teets that make me so quick, I dunno.

My podtoid question: What do you guys do when you need to cause instant "legal" mayhem to all your friends and/or their family/property/pets?

My second podtoid question: If you could be one LOLcatz, which would you be?

My third questio: Same as the second, but addressed to the female-gendered people.

My final question: What video game luminary would you most like to crown "King of Awesome" and why?

Nex, why do you think Jack Kerouac's On The Road is overrated?

P.S. Have you guys checked out the GTA IV previews. The game looks very promising.
