This week is a week for celebration: my router works, the podcast is too long, and we spend an inordinate amount of time doing David Hayter impressions. Actual informed discussion took a distant backseat to grunting "Otacon!!!" in the most gravelly voice possible.
This week, Jim Sterling, Brad Rice, and Aaron Linde join me to shmooze about the following topics:
Why are we not bored of Mario?: Jim and Aaron begin an indepth discussion on the lifespan of great franchises, then Brad sends everyone a link to Japanese porn. Also, Jim expresses his love for the readers.
BioShock 2 may be a prequel: Are we pissing our pants over it, or just pissed off?
Gamespt freelancer quits over Gerstmann-gate: This episode could have alternately been titled "four reviewers get really, really angry at the people who misunderstand their work."
Darth Vader and Yoda in Soul Caliber IV: Awesome, or really goddamned awesome?
This week's best question came from Agent Moo. Put your email in the comments, my good man, and your twenty-five dollars of blood money will be delivered to you shortly.
Anyway, head to the official Podtoid page and give it a listen. I can almost guarantee no technical issues. Almost.
[This week's intro/outro is "Get It" by RJD2.]

Podtoid makes fun of his idea for guitar hero
Also here's a collection of Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics for you Jim.
I did. I meant to actually give The Oratory a shout out for it, but forgotted. :-(
Thats ok Jim, we still love you.
This would warrant Starscream vs Wile E Coyote vs Dr Claw which could be freaking awesome.
My email is agentmoo (at) gmail (dot) com, and I opt out on the tentacle porn, thanks.
Shows that include an industry guest for the whole episode are usually very boring, limiting industry guest to single segments work out well. There are exceptions, for example if the guest invited is entertaining and has the color commentary personality (I.E. Cheapy D) then by all means have them stay for the whole show.
Here's source:
For the time being, you'll get little, late, or no coverage of the following products: anything Mortal Kombat (they didn't like our reviews), anything from Sony's sports department (ditto), and now, anything from Ubisoft (it seems our coverage of Assassin's Creed was the last straw). So in case you're wondering why you're seeing so little of these games in our magazines and on our websites, now you know.
