Podtoid is tonight, and Samit has been here for two years photo

Not on Podtoid, mind, but at Destructoid. He sent out this email that was all "this has been the happiest two years of my life" and everyone vomited because it was so stupid and I was like "stop being a little girl" and he was like "I'm tremendously thankful to be here" and then everyone was like "you're so fat Samit."

That's what happened.

Also, we're recording a podcast tonight, and we could use your listener questions.

Topher, are you planning to do another 60 Chicken Nuggets thing with Adam, or at least make a(nother) reference to it in the Journalism Show?
Also, what is so far your favorite game of the decade ?

If Samit could change one thing about Destructoid as a whole since he came here, what would it be?

How about listener guest hosts for podtoid? Bring in one every once in a while...its not like profanity or any sort of blatant racism would be an issue as they already run rampant throughout the show. If you do this, bring me in first, its my idea damnit

You can sleet the mechanics but all hail the cinematic experience that is Heavy Rain!

Not to delve into religion, but did any of you give up anything for Lent? Could any of you give up the following for 40 days -
Anthony - indie games?
Samit - sport games?
Linde - PC gaming?
Topher - shmups?
Jim - the 360 since he's clearly BIASED against the PS3 and also give up the PS3 since he's clearly BIASED against the 360?
Brad - shoes?

Quick Hits:

Is Heavy Rain better than Indigo Prophecy?
When is Anthony shaving/trimming his beard? His face look like a ballsack today.
Brad's shoe size.
Did Samit got fatter?
Why does Thoper talks once a blue moon?
Why do you guys never read my quick hits?

Podtoid, for Samit's two year Dtoid anniversary, I challenge you to do this week's entire podcast without making fun of Samit. It'll be a challenge, but I want to believe you can do it.

What games do you guys think shouldn't be remade or have a sequel?

What is your favorite video game TV show, and which games do you think would make good TV shows?

Why do you think its so difficult for Squenix to remake FF7. They say it's cause they have to make it to FF13 standards but is that really necessary. I'd be happy with just a little improvement in visuals, not so much realistic graphics. Do you think they just don't want to and are making excuses or that they just don't understand the piles of money they could possibly profit from this?

If Jim could produce the raunchiest porno ever starring Bayonetta, what would he do? (Since this is a video game character porno there is no limit -- for example, fuck her with the big daddy drill)

go.

I'll try mine last week again.

What is your most valuable game save? Whether current or longer running. Any Atlas games on the list? Any good game save stories?

Secondly, can Jim or someone give another proper shout out to "A Blade Itself" 100 plus pages in and it is as great as advertised here.

Not to touch too much on the whole dedicated servers issue, but what do you guys think about game developers engineering a game to be obsolete before its time, just so they can move the community to the next product?

Also L4D DLC, Ubisoft's DRM system, Desura, and what is your favorite input device of all time?

do you think games could be more suited to tv shows rather than films as there is more time to develop characters and flesh out the story, rather than using the basic story and characteristics of the characters to make shit films based loosely on their source material. Could work for games such as metal gear solid or mass effect with their long complicated stories and huge casts of varied characters.

Also, thank you Samit for two years of amazing work and, well, for being you. Despite the critics I wouldn't have it any other way.

Is God of War dated? is the slow sluggish yet powerful combat design that kratos yields be eclipsed by the faster offerings of say DMC/Bayonetta/Ninja Gaiden?

Also
Did Dante play better then Kratos?

@Jim. Your favorite, "alien" or "aliens"?

Also @sammit, I played god of war collection a few weeks ago as well, for the same reasons as you. Were you as dissapointed in the quality of the puzzles as I was?

What games would you like to never get a sequel? Not because they're shit but because for some reason no matter how good or even better the sequel could be, to you it would somehow smear everything you got out of the 1st game.

Mine would Bayonetta, GodHand, Grim Fandango, and...portal I guess.

2 questions:

1: How would you feel about a alien versus predator versus mass effect game? Who would survive?

2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulFPMBBfCcE can this win the grammys as the user "cheesepoof24" boldly claims on via the medium of youtube comments?

What's the deal with games being released in multiple parts?

Sonic 4 is going to span multiple "episodes" and one of the first thing we heard about Blade Kitten (side-note: that game is trying WAY too hard to appeal, it's going to get over-hyped and fail spectacularly) was that it was going to come in two parts.

I don't know about you but I'd rather wait six months and have the full game.

Also, the Penny Arcade Adventures games were announced as a "four part series" and they stopped at just two.

Oh, and a happy anniversary Samit. Do more sports or something.

Question:
What the hell is wrong with game manuals these days?
I.E. Game manuals used to contain all the information needed to play the game. Now, we get these 10 page manuals that have next to no content in them and an in game tutorial that is either passable, or more likely, laughably bad. So, is it just me, or have game manuals taken a nose dive in recent years?


Overly long explaination for Question:
I ask because I just got MAG last week, and after playing enough to get rank 15, I statred my first match as a Squad Leader. I almost immediately got kicked by my squad for being piss poor at the SL position. I looked through the game manual, and even went back through the in game tutorial, to figure out what a squad leader does and what I was doing wrong. Do you know what I found? Nothing. Nadda. Shit all, as they say. I had to look up a video on Youtube to find out that the SL can set objectives and do artillary strikes etc. There wasn't a damn thing about any of that in the manual.

Please feel free to mock me if there IS something in the manual, or in game tutorial, that I missed. It's the only way I'll learn.

I humbly request to hear more about which female (or male, in Nicholson's case) cosplayers each cast member would like to sexually destroy and go into great detail of how they would go about doing it.

Also in regards to Jim's review of Dynasty Warriors Strike Force: 8.5? EIGHT POINT FUCKING FIVE? WHERE IS THE ELEVEN, JIM? WHERE IS THE ELEVEN?

As a celebration for Samit I think he should be able to tell you all to fuck right off if any of you give him shit tonight. And if he does, you have to shut your face and take it.

Normal service should be resumed next week.
