This kind of makes me want to not vote for either of them.
Anyway, Podtoid's tonight. Since everyone's been playing some of the ridiculous number of great games to come out the past couple weeks, game companies have evidently been too busy to make any interesting news for Jim, Aaron, Topher and I to talk about.
That's where you come in, of course. Ask whatever the hell you want to ask (so long as it's game-related), and we'll make an entire episode out of the best questions we have. As always, the very best of the best questions will get the person who asked it some cool swag, and the best Shalitpun™ will be read at the top of the episode.
Pop it, lock it, hit the jump, and ask some stuff. In that order.

PS. I hope that I don't have to wait until the plethora of Final Fantasy XIII games comes out to get my fix.
Shalitpun:
You'll be BLOWN AWAY by Fallout 3's post apocalyptic setting!!
SAINTS ROW 2 VS GTA 4 IS THE ESSENCE OF THIS QUESTION.
Also, is it safe to assume that Aaron is the second coming of Hitler, considering his burning hate for anything that comes out of Japan (i.e EVERY ZELDA GAME EVER). Would he make a good dictator.
Question for Aaron: Excluding people who make comments like this, which group of people would you like to commit genocide upon the most?
Are there any games that you've played that you think you would have otherwise enjoyed, ahd you not heard the hype or had previous knowledge of flaws?
Wait, have you guys answered that question before?
G-phoria and Spike TV's Game of the Year Awards, are not good enough for how much work the game designer's put in.
I want to hear them since Iam I think fairly dissapointed since: you have to drive a lot, terrible AI, you cant carry more than three weapons limiting all those great tactics that we were shown on videos, the buddys are not Leonardo DiCaprio (useless), constant respawning of enemies at rebel points, only one objective at the time... and more driving.
For more
Also, which of the big-name releases coming out in these next few months will you ABSOLUTELY NOT touch? Or are they all gems you'll have to pick up at some time?
Also also, Jim, God bless you for being a champion and defender of Sonic. Us blue-marsupial fans appreciate the news and articles about Unleashed.
Zombies are AWESOME. Why the hell wouldn't you want them? There will never be enough zombie games.
I agree, but, it just seems unnecessary to pigeon-hole all of these zombie-game modes in games, when the greatest zombie game ever (Left 4 Dead) is coming out, the 2nd greatest (Zombies Ate My Neighbors) has already been released, and none of the modes make sense in the scope of the games. It just doesn't seem right to me.
Also, tell Anthony I will gladly trade him 2 adult goats for his sister.
What could be the best thing that could happen to GTA4 with its DLC just around the corner? On another podcast I heard that it could (they were simply brainstorming) be something that changes up the whole game, like a zombie/28 days later mode, turning into something else completely, using the whole city as its landscape...
Don't hide in your vault, because Fallout 3 is a BLAST!
If you survived a nuclear holocaust, what would be the first thing you looted?
NVGR, but what is the worst Halloween candy ever created? Good nl Plenty? Mary Jane? Candy corn?
To build off PwanObrien's question: What was the worst game that you've ever owned, but got some sick pleasure from playing? My friends and I spent a good couple hours playing Universal Studios Theme Parks Adventure. Fucking Woody Woodpecker would always give us the hardest trivia questions.
Do you think handheld consoles are a viable platform for MMOs? With the recent success (in Japan) of games like Monster Hunter and Phantasy Star Portable, do you think we'll soon be grinding away on the bus? Would you be willing to pay a monthly fee for an MMO on a handheld, or would you consider it a "lesser" experience compared to MMO games on PC?
I pray/think TF2 will come out on the service once all the updates are completed. I an unable to play it on PC here due to the campus firewall.

Have you guys been to any good gigs lately? If not, who do you enjoy in general?
What artists do you like and do you go to galleries ever/often? Aaron has the voice of an art man.
OK, game related (thanks for your patience?): Is it just me or do Sony forget to advertise anything? Any game I see during the ads on my TV (in the UK) is usually followed by "available on Xbox 360", even though it is clearly multiplatform... In the good old days they would say "On Xbox, PS2..."
Have game developers left the advertising up to the consoles?
and a shallitpun:
Don't be Dead Weight, play some Dead Space!
The CryEngine 2, Source Engine and Unreal Engine 3 are completly capable off creating beautiful sceneries and convincing characters.
Therefore I´d be more than happy if we would stop right here so that developers could spend their money on storytellers and not on shader 5.0 graphics (or whatever is next).
And of course I will still be blown away by next-gen (ps4) graphics, but should I really have to pay 500$ so I can play the same experiences only enhanced by better graphics?
Or are we all just graphics whores?
Also, a Shalitpun:
Left 4 Dead, so good you'll never leave!
Also, BonerQuest: The Movie. Has a nice ring to it doesn't it?
Also, have any of you tried out Guitar Hero: World Tour? IIRC none of you are really into rhythm games, but if you have played it I am curious what you think about it compared to Rock Band 1/2?
Finally a question that will ensure this post gets ignored by Rev: When will Rev's sister guest on an episode of Podtoid? :)
Necrozen:
I'm going to try to make some kind of co-op life/love letter-esque level for my wife where the message (hopefully I can make it more symbolic than literal) is revealed as she/we move(s) through it together. Something kind of ripping off/inspired by Passage, but far less focused on the singular perspective and it's impact on that single player's life. Either that or its going to be REALLY, epically lame.
Wait...wait...no Bonerquest jokes about that please
I want to transcend the good/evil black or white moral system in lieu of being a guy that hits things with a length of pipe.
"Destroy Megaton?"
Yes.
No.
>Holy shit! Is that length of pipe bigger than the one I've got?!
