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.

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.
Sarcasm aside, good luck and hope you have a safe non-"oh shit why are all my things broken you bastard movers!" move.
:P
That's not so much a question, but something worth bringing up nonetheless.
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?
and also, now you are probably going to get laid more often wont that stop your acerbic ranting? what are you going to do for money?
im just thinking of you
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?
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.
I know, who would want to leave Glasgow for Sydney eh?
Also, what are the chances of Jim and Jack Thopson having a charity/non-charity boxing match?
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.)
Other Dtoiders, think of more stuff!
Whos going to report all the Daily Mail Bullshite now?!
Just how badly so we need some ELO in Rock Band? Seriously.
Having an american resident on the euro podcast would be letting those damn pokemon right up to the doors of our castle.

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?
/Discuss
Jim your campaign appears to have the momentum of a runaway freight train, how long until said train arrives in hell?
/Discuss
I am the very model of a cartoon individual
My animation's comical, unusual and whimsical
I'm quite adept at funny gags; comedic theory I have read
From wicked puns and stupid jokes to anvils that drop on your head.
What show is this from?
/Discuss
WTF are you thinking?!?!?!?!11111111
They have guns n crazy sh!t n that over there.
Why leave the most sophisticated and most civilised country in the known world for 'that' place?
Have you gone crazy?
P.S. $10 say your back here by the end of next year (or dead).
=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.
anyway my question is does Atheistium get tagged teamed off Mrpointyhead and Aceybongos while drinking unbongo in the jungle to get free games? if thats true what a slag!!!!
DISCUSS
Also, our country is not prepared for the wrath of Jim.
Love (but in a totally not creepy way) Major Mustard
Also, enjoy using the word fanny in everyday conversation.
Also, what gun are you going to buy?
If that avatar isn't being used ironically, go die in a fire.
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?
