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.]
Too blog about it.
You feeling sweaty yet? That's fear my friend.
i stole that.
but seriously, all that beat stuff is fucking shit.
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?
...
...
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?
Here's a picture of me flashing my junk for the camera.
I loled. Twice.
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?
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???
What does everyone else think?
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.
Now I'm stuck with this:
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?
I just added an Avatar. Does that make me cool?
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?
dvddesign stole my joke, the bastard...
Also, when will you guys be launching the music site, and who do I talk to get in on that shit, like f'realz yo.
Great show, Great Site and Community.
Thanks
KYUSS
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.
Aktrez, Meagan: If you went to a parallel world, would you screw your male self?
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?
This is directed at Ron and Linde.
Are you ever going to make any dtoid shirts, perferably BEFORE pax? (I didnt get an also cocks one because Im poor and made of fail)
360, Wii, and PS3, which would you marry, which would you fuck, and which would you kill?
Whats the best Law and Order, Original, SVU, or CI?
P.S. Have you guys checked out the GTA IV previews. The game looks very promising.
