Let's just put last week behind us. Pretend that I never neglected to put up a pre-show post where I asked you for questions, the best of which would net its originator $25 bucks. Just mentally brush all that aside. It's a new week. New topics. New pre-show post.
This week, we're back to the news grind. From Spielberg's new game to the Bible potentially being more damaging than videogames, we've got a metric buttload of news to cover tonight. But once we're done making horrendously anti-religious jokes and essentially denouncing Creationism at every turn, we'll hopefully be able to discuss some insightful, interesting, and un-blasphemous topics brought up by our listeners (e.g., you). Feel free to make them Valentine's Day related, because we sure as hell aren't going to discuss the holiday at all during the news portion of the show.
So, to summarize: hit the comments, ask a question, possibly win 25 dollars. Then, tomorrow, listen to Podtoid and comment the hell out of it. And also tell your friends to subscribe on iTunes.
Also, send us money. And your children.

If you were all captured by some evil cult and forced to play shitty games or die a horribly painful death involving panda rape, what game would you draw the line at? In other words, what game have you played was so bad that you would rather die than play it again?
E.T. for the atari doesn't count.
Truth - Have you ever made an avatar in any game of an ex, just to see them subjected to video game violence (Michelle has died of dysentery, Sim-icide, etc)
Dare - Tell us the most attractive attribute of your fellow co-hosts.
Its business time.
What was your most memorable moment when playing a videogame with a girl?
For me, a girl got me into playing rainbow six vegas. Her skill was unbelievable, she'd get mvp every match. When I went to her house one day I noticed she played with the brightness on a high setting, which made the darker maps extremely easy to find people. Anyways without her I wouldn't have been able to get so good at fps games.
Has Jim fixed his mic/skype since last Podtoid? It was as audibly painful as the mystery breather from Podtoid 41.
Aaron, Anthony took up the challenge and added me to his XBL friends list, you should stop the slacking as well.
.tiff, can we expect you and .harr at PAX this year, and will we finally get to build more pillow forts?
Rev, I'm really liking how comfortable you're getting with Podtoid. However, should the situation arise, will you randomly yell a game title in the Blades of Steel voice should you find the conversation getting stale?
Finally, I feel we've only begun to scratch the surface regarding the Aaron/Monkey/Gypsy crowd control weapon. Can we get more discussion, please?
Since Valentines Day is a day for romance and all that, and in order to be effectively romantic you need to have a certain degree of charm. (Or at least that's what I've been told, I have the charm of a brick wrapped in a wet sock.)
Anyways my point is I'm curious to know what video game characters you guys can think of that were significantly charming? And what is it that made those characters so charming in the first place?
Are there any qualities in a game that if they were terrible, that you would absolutely not be able to play it, no matter how much all of its other qualities made up for it?
My question isn’t about something that’s blasphemous, but it is something that you guys probably won’t care to discuss, knowing the types of games you play. But I was wondering what your opinions were on the news that EA has extended their Madden exclusivity deal with the NFL through 2012. I wrote a c-blog expounding on my views of the deal (shameless plug), but my question is about that stuff in general.
Do you think exclusivity (extended to games that are only on one console) is something that stifles creativity and innovation in video games? That accusation is obviously leveled at EA a lot, but would you say, for example, that the general quality of a game suffers when it is released on multiple consoles at once?
Also, who is going to get the special V-Day rape treatment from Rev?
Also, what are your thoughts on its playability? are we looking at innovation? or an over glorified version of fl0w?
PS- I can't give you my children. I already promised them to my friend Melinda for letting me play the PSP version Marvel Ultimate Alliance in class last year. Think that was a fair trade?
Favorite Video Game Couples?
Whoops, that was talked about on RFGO! Oh well.
Also, best romantic moment in a game EVAR.
Finally, cocks.
btw yes, the bible is damaging. that was where i first heard the word whore.
Has playing video games ever led to sex?
Will bluetooth joystick addons make mobile phones a viable gaming platfrom??
Will mobile phones ever be able to overcome the puzzle genre??
As for Hillary Clinton, has any president ever made much of a difference to anything like videogames?? They start wars, not piss around with minor social issues, they just use them to get voted in.
