Podtoid 31: Effing Finally!

10:29 AM on 09.02.2007   |   Nex


Yup, we really are doing one this time. The last time I posted about Podtoid, it was really just an excuse to draw attention to the fact that the Mexican-American population of Texas has some very interesting ideas about rampant procreation given their stereotypical lack of financial support, but this time we actually need your questions!

Topics have yet to be finalized, but you can almost assume PAX and its myriad of games will be the main topic. Secondary topics could include polar bears and how they are affected by rapidly melting Arctic ice floes, but realistically they won't.

Now go to the comments and do that thing I said! Remember, without you Podtoid would just be a 45 minute long loop of Orson Welles swearing at a refrigerator box.

Thank you and goodnight.

"Green peaness." Haha! I remember this. And I haven't seen much of The Critic.

Also: OMG THAT'S THE BRAIN'S VOICE.

The Critic was great.

Metroid Prime 3 is fucking awesome, and I hear RE4 was a great Wii port. Now that someone's figured out how to do FPS's right on Wii, do you think it'll start garnering more serious attention? Or has the shoddy launch string of FPS ports done too much damage to the concept?

Plus, dammit, I want my Bushido Blade Wii.

The concept of more FPS on Wii, I mean.

oh, and Dragon Wars? WTF?

I often get french fries stuck in my beard too, as well as carry cornbread muffins in my pocket.

More Bushido Blade is needed as well

Emboldened by recent excursions into fake rock stardom with Guitar Hero, how many gamers will attempt to start real rock bands now that the "My First Chords" simulator Jam Sessions comes with a tiny amp?

And for bonus points, how quickly will these bands capsize in the wake of no one wanting to hear people playing their DS?

i feel dumb... I swear that clip came from animaniacs... I know they were always getting away with stuff like that because it's a kids show and the didn't realize the "adult" part of the humor. It's probably the voice acting throwing me off.

I also feel dumb because 'the critic' is one of my favorite tv shows of all time, and I should be able to tell where stuff like that comes from.

maybe you could discuss the new wii control for guitar hero 3. Or why people are playing games when there are still people in the world that don't drink?
Oh wait I don't drink and I like playing games. Damn why does my logic always fail? I wish I was a teenage mutant ninja poodle.

While you [Nex] have voiced your disdain towards the phenomenon of internet memes in the past you have never gone into detail about why it is they induce such feelings of disgust. So would you please elaborate upon why it is that you view them to be "bad" and which meme, over the years, has held the uncoveted place of "You suck the most Goddammit" in your eyes and any single one which you may have possibly liked or enjoyed...even a little.

I'd like to know more about badges, points, whoring, banning etc.
Also, do you think the forums and cblogs are polar opposites that can only solve their differences in the octagon? I don't.

do you think when the next console generation comes, it woul be difficult to sell the systems to collectors or most retro oriented guys, because how internet heavy the system are?

like today, you buy a ps1 and it works, but in 5 years from now a 360 wont have his online service up

I posted this the last time, oblivious that it was not the real Podoid:

Could you please give me an in-depth explanation of what a furry is? I hear inside jokes about it all the time, but I still don't understand it fully. Is it just people who have a fetish for dressing up like animals and rubbing eachother? At first I thought a furry was just a humanoid animal illustration in erotic poses. Am I close here? I started playing videogames a lot and joined the Gamespot forums when Starfox Adventure was still really popular. There were all these pictures of Fox and the purple girl animal (sorry, never played it) floating around over there and tons of forumites were treating it like legitamate porno. Yeah, it was kinda creepy. Sorry to be the guy to ask such an odd & awkward question, but after listening to Podtoid 30 today, I am genuinely confused.

What's the deal with Rob Summa and the "touching kids" thing? I kept hearing about that for the last couple of podtoids, yet I don't know what's the story behind that. Can someone please explain?

I saw rob summa during the 2nd concert at Pax. He stood with some of the dtoid crew for a while, then wandered off.

Later we ran into him sitting outside the convention center, sad and alone.

poor rob summa needs a hug.

Props on The Critic reference, although I'll still continue to shun the podcast.

Podtoid needs a fourth person again. Fuck your succinct format. That is all.


Wait, I just thought of something else. Get Leigh and Colette on together and have them wrestle in Jell-O.

Here's a question for you: do you think Wii will ever get any good games that are not published by Nintendo? If so, when? My Wii is feeling lonely and neglected due to the slow trickle of good games.

People seem to be tired hearing about how good bioshock is in every podcast (yes, everyone is still talking about it). Do you think we are going to stop listening about it any time soon?

No, this is tough love. Once he realizes that he's alone and no one loves him anymore, then he'll realize he should never have abandoned us and he'll change his ways and we'll all be a family again. Won't we? Won't we, daddy? WHEN WILL THE SUN SHINE AGAIN? WHEN?

And he's a kid-toucher because his ex-girlfriend looked considerably underage. I think. Maybe it's just fun to call people kid-touchers, I don't know.

Many people have said that this year looks to be the best ever for gaming, due to numerous triple-A titles being released. What worthwhile games do you think will get buried during this holiday season and do you plan to get around to them at a later date?

What system do you see being the most successful this holiday season, 360 with Halo 3, Wii with Super Smash Bros. and many others, or PS3 with what ever that thing has going on?

At the minibosses concert at PAX, the only people rocking the effing house out were Destructoid crew members.

Why do you think that is?

Do you see there being any room for ethics in gaming, or at least can you see it being something taken into consideration (ethics covering things such as morality of games, production methods, slave labor) when people buy games?

sub question: does anybody give a crap?


Dam, that was both lame and vague, sorry.

Nice question.
I would like to add, do you think the ps3 is getting a good line up in games anytime soon (six months)??
