I'm glad someone took every single scene I didn't despise from this movie and put it into one easy-to-access video (spoiler at the end).
Now that New Year's is over, Podtoid has no easy, theme-related structures to fall back on. We can't talk about how this year compared against the last, or what we're looking forward to in 2009, or any of that cliche junk. We have to start talking about news again. Bummer.
We'll be discussing Jim's article on spectator games, last month's musings article, and other things I haven't really considered yet.
This week, I guess we're doing something new to determine who gets a prize: we still encourage you to ask questions, of course, but we've also got a sort of dramatic reading contest going on, as well.
Hit the jump for more details.
This week only (unless people end up really liking it, in which case we'll turn it into a regular thing), you can record yourself performing a dramatic reading of any lines you wish from, any Metal Gear game, and we'll edit in the best monologue into the full podcast.
Again, we really encourage questions, but you can do this second thing if you wanna.
Contest:

And, serious question: do you think Microsoft will try to leapfrog the competition this year and announce their new console?
I'll record a thing when I get home, if it's in time.
Also, No Country for Old Men? Not that great.
What are your favorite "Easter Eggs" in a game that you have seen?
This is the kind of discussion that permeates the gamer table at Lunchbreak in my school.
Nicole Wiebe or Ashly Burch?
Unrelated but awesome song uses sounds from the original Doom: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1S7bvSoqXSQ
Also, if you heard the new Batman game, Arkham Asylum, described as I just did as "BioShock with Batman", doesn't it make you suddenly want it?
I predict that nintendo will release a zelda game where you play as zelda for thge first time and have to rescue link. npw that they are aimed at girls and old people i think this is ewhat theyll do.

How far is 'too far' for games as art? I've been thinking about this a lot, experimenting too.
I know this is vague but I guess I want to know how mundane an experience your willing to have for the sake of art?
gordon went back to bone her but the antlions were going crazy and she said there was no way.
I'm personally looking forward to inFamous and that's about it for mainstream titles.
I had this happen to me with Legendary and I know its just a mediocre game but the premise is pretty freakin neat.
Question: do you think streamlining functionality from the controller interface with game makes it more immersive?
Even though I've already got too much to play, I still ended picking up World of Goo, which I'm really glad I bought.
And like Aaron, I bought Blade Runner and Firefly on Blu-Ray. Can't go wrong with the complete series for $30.
Actually, nevermind, I don't have any questions.
