Last episode, we tried a brand new live format that seemed to turn out moderately well. We will revisit the live arena all in due course, but this week we're back in the secluded basement of the The Podcastle for a pre-recorded show.
We shall be discussing all sorts of Euro news, from Xbox Live's European user base to the ridiculous hysteria bleeding over from Thailand. I bet you can't wait, can you? Eh? EH? You lucky sods, you.
As we skipped out listener questions on the last show, feel free to repost them here, although we will definitely be rolling some of them over. Hey, why not even go crazy and post a brand new one as well? Go on, treat yourself, it's a Tuesday after all. We'll be recording at 6pm GMT, so get in your questions and comments, otherwise we'll be punching a swan in the throat.

Here's a nifty question:
How did you hosts of the podcastle first meet in person? And was it what you expected?
Ive been playing burnout paridise on the 360 got it for £7 :) the achievements are pretty easy to get.. no questions just thought i would waste your time reading my ramblings.
Where is Wardrox's Manc accent?
Jim, any chance of a cheap cab any time I want to go up west...? I will go and have a right old go at CEX. They tried to sell me some scratched up shit in the past.
Athiestium, What do you think of the new Croydon-Lara and would you do a better job?
Anyone going to Leipzig this year?
Also, what game do you think could grab the most attention in the run up to xmas for the casual gamer? I can maybe see Dead Space becoming a big seller amid all the footy and brain training games...
Question: If you only had £40 to spend on a game, from now until Christmas, what game would you buy and why?
Hilarious or just downright weird?
Round 1 - A battle of intellectual prowess
Round 2 - A battle of physical prowess
Round 3 - A battle of sexual prowess
Outcome?
Question 2: Jim, how much would you give for a banana right now? (as in, RIGHT NOW!)
Do you think video games will ever have a place at an event such as the Olympics? Would it be appropriate? Would it even happen this century? DISCUSS.
Also, new Xbox 360 Dashboard, FTW or FTL?
Back in the Victorian era Hysteria was a nervous condition caused by a ladies special area. The cure? Getting shot in the vag by a hose. For women who didn't like the idea of the "water massage" the doctor could use his fingers to obtain the same mysterious effect which they referred to as "hysterical paroxysm." The wonders of science eh?
1.)Are you happy that Chrono Trigger is being ported to the DS instead of being remade like FF-3 and 4?
Also are you happy that the game is finally going to be available in Europe or do you not give a shit since it's an outdated and over hyped turd with sugar and hundreds and thousands sprinkled on it by super cool retro gamers?
Actually a friend just messaged me on facebook about it and I thought it was funny. I have no idea where he got it from. Well I do now.
He’ll kick your ass and take your name
But his conference brought Nintedo shame
With his big meaty fists
And a throttle he twists
He still insists Wii Musics a game
And a question: Would you say the picture below is a fairly accurate description of Reggie Fils-Amie?
More specifically what European company, if any, could build such a monstrosity?
Question 2 for Jim: After making so many jokes about him, do you ever want to meat Reggie in person?
(finger crossed at a "chris benoit choke and hold" minigame....)
1). Wardrox, What are your dreams?
2). Guilty pleasures: Everyone has one. Tell us one game/series you love that everyone else thinks is garbage.
3). Needs more wilbo, Pheonix blood, and Professor pew
4). Do you think artistic vision takes too much precedence in game development today? That is, are developers too caught up in telling a story and making the game look the part, as opposed to using resources to develop a game that plays as fun as the story is intriguing?
Wardrox was walking down the street,
When he met a man with hands of meat.
Since he had no good games to show,
And showed them with that woman, a 10 quid ho,
Wardrox-meng made a hasty retreat.
Jim- Resident Evil 5. too much like the original, or not enough David Bowie Wesker in it already? Also, discuss your problem with Portrait of Ruin, because that one was one of my favorites. Also, have you been having any more crusty rolls?
Wardrox- Were you pissed at the lack of the new Halo game announcement at E3, Have you beaten Call of Duty 4 on veteran yet, and how is your T.V. situation? Have you got it back yet.
Atheistium- How excited are you for the new Tomb Raider game on a scale from one to ten, because we only know of numbered reviews and such in the gaming world, but if you say ten, we will all question your credibility
Everyone- Are you tired. ALSO, PODCASTLE MUSICAL PLZKTHXBAI=)
What videogame would you want to be buried with when you die?
And last of all, (this is off-topic and to all of you) What is the Best way to die in your opinion and why. Getting Eaten by a Vegetarian would be my way to die.
