The Podcastle episode four: Access delayed! photo

Destructoid’s fortnightly Eurocentric podcast, The Podcastle, has returned for another installment. Your regular trio of Jim Sterling, Atheistium and Wardrox discuss why Call of Duty 4 is better than Halo 3, eat delicious curry and generally swear and shout, because swearing and shouting is funny.

Our main feature (which is boring) is the discussion of European delays, which mainly means we’ll be screaming at Nintendo for taking eight million years to release a game after the American release. Screw you Nintendo.

Go listen to the show, for the show is sometimes enjoyable to listen to!

For the record, Wardrox, I've done well in plenty of matches having reformatted my drive (PC) now... thrice, I belive, possibly four times.

Call of Duty rewards people that have played a lot of shooters, not a lot of Call of Duty - you see, COD is in fact a very fundamental game. Now, if you're shit anyways because you've never played a shooter, well, you'd have practiced in other games anyways.

I'm hoping this is just an hour of wardrox abuse that way everybody wins.

Call of Duty 4 was my first Call of Duty game and I'm good at it, because I'm reasonably good at games and can pick up things pretty quick, not because I've played a lot of COD4. My kill/death has always been well over 1 playing against people of much higher rank than me. Also, you get the best gun in the game right off the back (M16).

Wardrox would be a good enough reason to move for me. I wouldn't want to live in the same country as him either.

Wardrox: 'Call of Duty is like the forums, and Halo 3 is like the Cblogs"

Ya I pretty much have to agree with Wardrox on the whole Halo 3 vs. COD4 dispute.

Are there any of lifes questions that cannot be answered by the Podcastle crew?
-Todays youth?
-Game delays?
-How much rape Lauren will give for a hot dog machine?


Maybe next time you can answer this question from me:

Why the fuck is Wardrox in Podcastle? Seems like the weak link to me...

I was hoping in this episode jim would reveal his nemesis as a special guest. Also I was hoping it would turn out to be his evil half brother, twisting a dastardly moustache maniacally and bearing not one....but TWO monocles! fner fner fner

Downloading now!

Wait, I’m actually installing iTunes 7.6 at the moment, but as soon as that’s done, I’ll download the podcast and import it.

I hate teenagers with a vengeance. Thinking they are so god damn mature...
I'm at a magnet high school of technology where kids are supposed to be above normal but every day I have to put up with these little shits hoarding around myspace and paying more attention to when the site-blocking server is down than class. These are the engineers of the future, folks, and I would highly suggest not going on any new bridges built in the coming years.

I just wanted to let you know Mr. Sterling, that I was just made aware the name of Jabba's sidekick thanks to you.

I always wondered, but not enough to search it out. Now, however, I am ready to pass that knowledge on shall the need come about.

Kudos to you, and I'm still listening to the Podcastle and finding it enjoyable so additional kudos to you, ath, and war.

Way to fucking ruin Bioshock for me you stupid bellend Jim Sterling. I'm only about halfway through, and you cunt come along and spoil it with no warnings beforehand whatsoever. Fuck you, really.

@sbshootme: don't worry, the plot is more complicated than just that. The bit that made me go "oh ma god" hasn't been ruined. The game is also awesome even knowing those bits.

Still, sorry :(

And by "wardrox is an important part of it," you mean "he's fun to abuse," right?

Great episode! Loved it except for one particular part. Some dtoiders have played with me on live and know I am not annoying and I am not stupid. I am 13 however and that is why I thought that making Halo and Call of Duty illegal for teens my age would be stupid! I know that without my 360 I would have NEVER come to this great community of gamers called Destructoid.@Lauren, Wardox, Jim. While teens and kids may have made games unenjoyable for you Lauren before, I have played with Jim, Grim, Snaileb and others. Ask them if I was annoying or if I even said anything at all. I think the comments made were very general and I HATE generalizations about kids. I have no problem and I still love the podcast but think first.
