Three of our favorite things! This week's episode ends in a five, and that means it's time once again for a 100% listener questions episode. Every tenth podcast, we like to open it up to you guys, and personally, these are my favorite episodes.
Why? Because they invariably descend into madness and jackassery, and that's just the way we like it sometimes. So hit the comments and ask us whatever you like. Seriously, anything. Games, systems, dolphins, melon bread, whatever you want to know. As always, the best question will win you something cool, so make 'em good!

Do you think that video games should become a valid topic of studies like cinematography became not so many years ago.
Should games be divided in two categories, those that try to reach a level of realism that bring them closer to cinematography and the games including retro games that sway from realism and are more parallelle to drawn animation.
As video games start to become more real and more paralelles are drawn to cinematography in terms of art, do you think the ESBR still remains valid ? or should games be rated like if they were movies
I abstained from signing the affidavit because American jurisprudence would allow perjury charges to be pressed against me. After all, I saw the malum prohibitum, specifically aggravated assault committed by Herr Drosselmeyer, occur. I have prerogative to do this because of my egalitarian right to self determination granted by the Declaration of Independence. But in truth, the hierarchical nature of our society makes it hard, nigh, impossible for an individual of born into a beggared family to be able to tussle with a separate individual whose family is of the bourgeoisie class. Only one of the two is truly able to flourish in the entrepreneurial sector of our economy. This was explained to me by my former lawyer, who abdicated my deformation case after his wife came down with her phthisis. He said that he fear a calamitous disbarment akin to Phoenix Wright’s. Dejected, I returned to my dwelling and played Twilight Princess, my favorite video game.
What are your thoughts on the use of DLC? (no seriously what do you think ahout it!)
What if Sega had never been around (as in never released a console, but the games were around on other platforms) at least until the Dreamcast. Considering that they were pretty much Nintendo's main competition for the majority of the 90's, the two companies competition with each other grew the video game market exponentially (Fuck yeah vocabulary!). Without Sega's influence/rivalry with Nintendo, do you think things would be any different than they are now?
Also, what can scare you in a video game? I mean not the regular stuff which you can find in horror games, but completely trivial things. For example, I'm afraid of water in 3D video games and whenever I come to a point in a game where I have to swim, I stop playing it.

Scratch that, nobody saw nothing, move along!
Also, I second what Alanar said, you guys should invite people from the community when it's about the community show.
Can we just have Dyson read words for the entire hour? That would be amazing. :)
I'll bet everyone says that it's the Elitechief haikus ;)
Oh and I wanted to publicly applaud Chad for bringing up the idea of an all Earthbound episode during the Cancun episode, it's too bad that it sounded like no one else had a lot of enthusiasm for it :(
Only 5 more episodes until epic nakedness ensues! :D
Have there been any old games that came highly recommended to you from friends but upon playing them for the first time you're convinced they have on a nice thick pair of rosy retrogoggles?
Am I as evil as evil chad ?
-Will there ever be a beat 'em up episode?
-Will you ever do an episode about the worst retro games ever made (I had to put in retro or else the episode would be an hour of Dyson expressing his hate for Halo and Metroid Prime)
-And concerning the bet you have with episode 50, if all of you are wrong, what horrible, degrading thing are you willing to do?
How about this!
There are ten candles burning in a dining room. A strong breeze blows in through an open window and extinguishes two of them. Checking back in on the candles later, you see that one more candle has gone out. To make sure that no more flames go out, you shut the window. Assuming the wind doesnt extinguish any more candles, how many candles do you have left at the end?
But seriously, how much do you guys enjoy the puzzle game genre? (like Prof Layton, Hotel Dusk) Any hopes or ideas on what the future of thes genre might bring?
1. Will there be a Castlevania episode any day?
2. What are the gaming guilty pleasure for you guys?
3. Who will you invite to the episode of Castlevania? (Correct answer: Passionate Styos).
Lol...I think everyone feels that way about Chad.
Chad, can the Dtoid community put a baby in YOU?
Have you all received your controllers for your 360's yet? On a scale of 0-5 dolphins, how much better is the Dpad and face buttons in comparison to the original controller?
What are your thoughts on naked podcasting? King3vbo and myself did it last weekend and it was quite liberating.
Ok why are there now in this "generation" and also the prev one, no games that a yonger gamer can play why are all the "9.5" and "10" M rated?
Myself 21 atm, can play everything now but I think that there is room for the most AWESOME game ever that is ok for all ages because when you look back at first few mario's and metroid Final F, sonic etc you see now (20 years later) kids played it and adults played it and still do.
But I dont see in the next 20 years everybody played "cars" or "sponge bob" where is the traditonal game that is for everybody and still is (if you want a score on it "9.5" "10".
I know there is Super Mario G and some other games but most games that score high and you want to play are M or 10+.
(I dont care about scores but it talks easier for people to understand)
I hope you understand the quastion/statement.
Keep up the great show and looking forward to the next ep every week.
ps: SMW2: Yoshi's island has the best art for a video game ever!! :P
We should all have a gangbang?
Also, what would be cuter, a penguin wizard or a penguin ninja?
Super stoked to hear the show.
1) I want to know what you guys think about the concept of "gamer-cred." I recently made a C-blog post about it after reflecting upon the behavior of my roommate (who, coincidentally, claims the hosts of your fine show are "not gamers"). Feel free to rant about that.
2) I know Dyson is all about the retro, but I wonder what he thinks about games with shiny new graphics but retro play style. Examples of games like this escape me at the time of this post, but I am sure there is something out there.
3) Why was last week's RetroforceGO! so fucking epic?
4) Why is it that as the negative stigma of being a gamer starts to fade away, games releases become more derivative and uninspired? Who decided that FPS or Action games are the only genres that can have blockbuster, high budget titles? Why do these titles all play like shit?
I am pretty sure if I was not suffering from some massive chase of insomnia and end of semester stress I would have more inspired questions. In place of that I offer you pictures of my dog attempting to devour my face.
Please, enjoy!
seriously. i want this answered.
What is your favorite game in a genre you hate? (This is probably the only serious question I'm asking.)
10 peso 10 peso 10 peso 10 peso 10 peso. One dollar?
Did you guys play Air Fortress yet? If not, you really should.
Will Topher delete someone on his XBL friends list so he can be my friend? I need an Ikaruga score to aspire to beat.
Will Colette play Mythos with me after RFGO is done?
On the topic of Mythos, what was everyone Diablo II main class (That counts as Retro)
Chad, WTF aren't you going to Dexter's next weekend?
I have another serious question. If you could set any character from an NES game on fire, who would you pick?
When are you guys going to do a retro PC episode?
And the last actual question, kind of inspired by Dutch Slayer.
What are games that you played as a child that, looking back, you feel like you shouldn't have played because of the content (or what games did you play as a kid that you wouldn't let your own kids play until they were older)?
I <3 you guys.
Topher, Here's to you
And the best Yard Sale ever
Fap. Fap. Fap. Fap. FAP!
(I'll be doing personal Haiku for each of you each comment episode)
Chad: If you were the only man on earth, and the only women were .Tiff, Rio, and Colette, who would you put a baby in? Also, using time-travel powers, would you stop that kid from "falling" off of that tree or would you find a mint condition copy of Chrono Trigger and buy it?
Topher: Where did your love of shmups begin? Also, what do you sell at the Yard Sale? Pinapple?
Colette: What do you like better, Trauma Center or Pheonix Wright? Also, what became of your christmas gift?
Dyson: List your favorite among 1 Pizza Rolls 2 Ramen 3 Mashed-Potato Tacos
What about a gangbang and a massive fingerbang all at the same time?
Does it go by system, 2D-ness, type of game or is there some bizarre retro-formula that only Dyson knows, but can't pronounce, so he can't share it with anyone?
Which game do you know every piece of music. Like if i played you a random song from that game you'd be able to name something that happens or where that music plays.
Whats your most memorable song in a game that you never get tired of?
Maybe just a single word is enough:
gangbang?
Also, for a real question: Do you think we were able to enjoy video games more when we were younger because we didn't think about them with such analytical views, like we do now? Not that I'm against game-centric places like Destructoid, obviously!
And maybe we were able to enjoy what we had back then because we didn't always know what else was out there, thanks to the lack of internet telling us all about the 'next big thing'?
Chad: Will you go play El Viento so you can ride the dolphin to kill a giant octopus? I promise you it's amazing. Also, how does it feel to have a future wife that can ace your dolphin quiz? =P
Colette: Why are you so amazing? I <3 you. How sexy was Chad on the beach in Cancun? =P
Topher: How many times did you squee when Ikaruga finally hit XBLA? And, how many times did you have to change your pants the first time you saw the game (Not the XBLA version, the original)?
I think I may be a bad person.
