The Podcastle episode 23 records tomorrow: Goodbye, England's Rose photo

We do not usually record an episode of The Podcastle until two weeks after the last, but on this occasion, we are making an exception and bringing you an early edition of the show. The reason for this is something that many of you will already know by now, if you caught one of the earlier announcements.

After months of questions, waiting, and "zomg what's gonna happen to The Podcastle when you move?", I am finally departing England for the United States of America. At the end of the week, in fact. To celebrate, and mark the occasion in a most fitting way, we will be recording my final Podcastle as a resident of the United Kingdom tomorrow. Join myself, Atheistium and Wardrox for our "Get the Hell out of our country" bash. 

The show will be 100% listener questions/comments, so be sure to post with your queries regarding anything and everything. We will attempt to read all five of them, but we can't make any promises. Fire away, my children.

Will you by an American PS3, but have a UK PSN Account, considering you buy a PS3 in the first place Jim?

It'll be nice to have you here, but ANYWAYYYYYY.

What are you going to miss most in the UK....the least?

Answer it with wit and maybe a personal stab. I've always wanted one of those.

If Obama said anything is possible, does this mean Sterling for President 2012? Also, will you miss the British press overreacting to everything?

Does the current financial situation in North America bother you in regards to your move? Or the health care system(I hope whomever is employing you is helping you with that)? Or perhaps leaving behind the bland food from England to eat the overly salty gobs of melted cheese in the states? hahaha

Sarcasm aside, good luck and hope you have a safe non-"oh shit why are all my things broken you bastard movers!" move.

Why does this have to be the last Podcastle? It seems a shame it won't continue when you're in the states.

What do you think of the socio-economic situation in the United States? Is it jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire? But more importantly, who shall fire spunk into Lauren's face now? Will the mail carriers become a sort of middle-man for that?

Atheistium are you going to be using the tranquilizer gun in Tomb Raider Underworld or just shooting tigers in the face?

Why the hell are you leaving this lovely country?
Are you not going to melt in America?
Are you going over to live out your dream of gay modeling?
Will later Podcastles suck more due to the massive lag between the USA and UK?
Do you think you could cum on Laurens chest from the USA?

Why can't you do more in the States? I mean you'll keep your accent and there is the internet still so it can't be the last EVER EVER can it?

Anyway questions:
1:What words will you miss using that make you sound like a prick in Yankieland?

2:Are you not bringing any games or consoles over and does that make you mad if your not?

3:Despite all the games comming out these weeks are you still playing the Left 4 Dead demo more than any other?

since I'm assuming all of these questions will be directed towards Jim, I have one each for Atheistium and Wardrox.

Atheistium, as someone that is currently working in clothing retail and given the chance to work in game retail, is the jump worth it? Has working at one affected your gaming tastes/self in any way and are the customers as annoying/stupid as the ones shopping for clothes.

And Wardrox, as a student with coloured hair myself, I was wondering if you bleach/dye your hair every time you get your hair cut. How long/often does your yellow mohawk stay yellow. Personally, I've gotten to the point where my green spikey hair stays green for a couple of months, then black for the rest of the year.

If spunk hits Lauren's face, and no one's around to hear it, does Lauren still whine endlessly about having jizz on her face?

Also, what are the chances of Jim and Jack Thopson having a charity/non-charity boxing match?

Their loss is our gain. First Obama in the White House, now Sterling moving stateside. Can somebody say "Best Year Ever"? I don't suppose you could smuggle Atheistium and Wardrox with you while you're at it?

Wait, I forgot. This show's always been about put-downs and insults. Let me try again:

We don't need your limey kind over here. We fought a war to keep you lot out.

(but seriously, invest in some Wardox and Atheistium-sized luggage before you leave, and punch plenty of airholes.)

What is the first thing you plan on doing when you get here? I imagine it's something along the lines of shouting about "beeeg American Teetees!" but might I suggest something that takes full advantage of the new country and set of customs...perhaps eating fries with your fingers and shooting a gun at extra unnecessary vowels while driving on the right side of the road.

Perhaps this is a perfect occasion for more stories (akin to the "fist times we met" ones a while back). I propose stories of how you came across Destructoid, and your stories therafter (totally not ripping off Yojimbo, honest).

Other Dtoiders, think of more stuff!

Will the podcastle ever be a weekly podcast? If not, what about releasing an unedited version between podcasts for those of us who need our fix? I know theres been a couple of times when the podcast gets so derailed that bits are actually cut out. I imagine those bits are quite funny.

Also, the job system in fable, after watching a friend of mine for three hours cut wood and make enough money to buy a frikkin country. So why do i only earn £6 and hour?

How do you think you'll feel having to import stuff like Hotel Giant DS and Drivers Ed Portable?


=P
But seriously, stuff like Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon don't have release dates over there in the States and I imagine that's a game you'll be eagerly awaiting, Jim.

Jim is the Podcastle host,
That loves to give prizes the most.
But he promised me gear,
That still isn't here.
It's a shame he can't work the Post.

What do you think of my limerick, eh? :)

Why does the image in this post remind me of David Banner walking down the street to that depressing tune trying to hitch hike with a bundle of clothes wrapped in a bandanna tied to the end of a stick?

Also, our country is not prepared for the wrath of Jim.

I would just like to say thank you for helping me through my recent few hours of homelessness. I got locked out my house without a key and no way to get in until my parents returned from where ever the hell they were (yes I still live with my parents at 19, I fail). So essentially I had no option but to wander aimlessly around town listening to past episodes of the podcastle and trying not to die of hypothermia. I didn't actually do any begging but judging by the way I look, it wouldn't have been that out of the ordinary. Thanks for making it a tad more bareable guys.

Love (but in a totally not creepy way) Major Mustard

Hey chronoswing, Jim is welcome in the South. I just granted him full southern hospitality. Sorry i can't extend the same olive branch to you chronoswing, we dont take kindly to retards down here.

Question for Jim: How much more awesome is Destructoid going to be when you live in the States? Is it going to be so awesome it rips a hole in the space time continuum, or just awesome enough to fix our ailing economy?
