Quantcast



erere

If you thought we might play it safe this week and tiptoe around the already considerable controversy surrounding Destructoid's Eternity's Child review, perhaps keeping the moral high ground in distancing ourselves from the sh*tstorm, well...you've probably never listened to Podtoid before. You can alleviate that problem by going here.

This week's entire episode is fueled solely by listener questions, which means a lot of random and varied topics of discussion. Which is nice. Highlights include:

-Linde regrets his game idea

-Jim reviews a next-gen sports game

-We talk about Eternity's Child, but probably not for as long as you'd think

-What makes a great villain?

This week's best question came from Brian Keljore, who initiated one of the few disagreements in the episode and actually managed to get every person to talk about something different. Put your email after the comments and we'll send your money in all due haste.

[The song is "Waiting to Die" by Mickey Avalon.]

I prefer not to have my art restricted by the tight restraints of the sonnet form, but instead to let the ideas flow free.

but seriously, that poem was 90% Linde, I just added a crappy rhyme. You have yourself to blame.

I can't wait to hear what Linde has to say about the EC debacle. Don't let me down!

When you guys were talking about villains, how did you feel for heavenly sword? Gen.Flying Fox is one of my favorite villains and that game had its focus on the villains as well as Nariko.

I'm pretty sure Forza 2 had 1 point achievements.

Will Eternity's Child discussion return during the "Worst Games Ever" podcast? And what episode would that be? I can't WAIT for that, unless Jim bows to peer pressure and doesn't talk shit about Mass Effect.

@classybot: Were you playing it with the gamepad?

Thanks for taking my question, guys. Jim, I totally agree with you. It's the dev's job to make sure he won't be seen as a complete asshole when he branched out into the community.

I think something's wrong with the podcast. Its probably because I'm using speakers to listen to it. I heard that speakers don't work.

Duh...

Anyway, It was awesome to here Blood Bowl mentioned... an awaited title for me. Love the board game... love the Java client created by SkiJunkie and love FUMBBL (an huge online league that uses the java client).

The only problem is that the only system that it NOT coming out for, is the one I own...

I just finished listening to this on Sunday morning and I believe its probably the best Podtoid I've listened too. Keep up the awesome work guys. I've really enjoyed to host line up lately. There is a great chemistry between you guys. Hilarious, insightful and informative stuff. Destructoid wins again!

Ah, you had a conversation about game HUDS, and didn't mention Deadspace. that games interface gives me a fucking boner, if not just for the fact that the characters inventory is a a virtual 3d interface that the character access himself!

Ok, i got that out of my system. Great podcast boys, its great to hear Samit on here too.
