The unholy trinity are united once more for a second trip to The Podcastle, Destructoid's first and only Eurocentric podcast. This week, Atheistium, Wardrox and yours truly will be dedicating discussion on the "big three" of gaming and how they treat their European customers. Expect yet another round of swears and shouts as we take a look at how Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony handle European affairs.
As well as that, we'll be discussing the British charts, talking you through our choice games of the week and spouting whatever other rubbish may swirl around inside of our mental heads. As ever, if you'd like to contribute to the discussion, feel free to leave a comment. Let us know your own thoughts on how the big three companies treat the PAL territories, ask some questions or just fill the page up with the memes that you've appropriated from other Web sites. It's all good.
Jim Sterling serves as reviews editor for Destructoid.com, head of the Podtoid podcast, and produces a number of news stories, original features, one-of-a-kind videos. With his passionate argumentative style, controversial opinions, harsh delivery, and dedication to brutal honesty Sterling is a name that you can't help but recognize.

It will be awesome.
I thought you were wearing a one-ear headset wrong in your picture, Jim. I didn't even pick up that it's a monocle until just now.
That's beautiful.
IT WILL COME BACK, YOU'll SEE.
@Sharpless: wardrox is actually a hippie and atheistium's <3 symbolizes the cock(or so she tells me).
I expect this won't actually be a problem for too much longer though - presumably we'll be downloading games straight to our consoles within the next couple of generations. That should hopefully eliminate the annoying thing, for us Brits at least: the wait for every game to be translated into a buttload of different languages
Also, don't forget Australia is PAL, and should probably fall under the whole "Europe" banner, because even though we are a solely English speaking nation, we are required to wait the inordinate amount of time the rest of Europe has to for those translations that end up crappy anyway.
Thanks.
However Nintendo are absolute cunts with absolutely horrible delays, which is why i refuse to buy PAL Nintendo consoles and always buy US NTSC ones.
Also,Cunts.
(My new daring, more European take on Workman's eternal catchphrase, you likey?)
Also, Wankers.
Seriously i was really close to going this year, but flights were insanely expensive (left it a little late booking) and couldn't get the holidays from work ultimately :(
Europeans Unite and march to Deutschland!
haha its tempting!
Wardrox's hair may be magnificent but how large a carbon footprint does it leave?
Who's Brain Training ads did the panel feel were more influential on it's sales, Nicole Kidman's or Philip Schofields?
And where the fuck in England can I buy a Wii in time for christmas?
I mean common, you can't tell me that there's not enough room on a DVD to include both voicetracks. Gears of War did it, Crackdown too.
Also, I want to give a shoutout to Nintendo, for not releasing gems like Crono Trigger and Final Fantasy 6 here. Thanks alot.
