The Podcastle records for last time? Sue us, Trina Thompson! photo

As you may have heard at the end of the last show, your usual Podcastle crew is going to be taking a break from providing poor-quality, borderline-offensive videogame discussion. Quite how, when and why we'll return is yet to be finalized, but this won't be the last you hear of Jim Sterling, Wardrox and Athiestium. Unless we die in a car crash. 

This week's show will be all about listener questions, so please do the asking by typing with your fingers into the comment box. We will attempt to answer everything, although we might get sleep by the end, so make sure you get your burning questions in quick.

Oh, and check out my badass Alien figure. Its ass is so bad.

Oh no, someone stole your favorite videogame. What are you going to do when you find the culprit?

If you three were on a BBC Sitcom together, what would its name and premise be?

Bonus Question: In honor of this podcast's significance, what would the final climactic episode be about?


Cheers, and thanks for the... laughs?

Are any changes going to be made to the Podcastle during its hiatus?
Some new hosts? Will Jim regenerate into Tom Baker?

Does it bother you that people who do not have avatars post retarded questions on what maybe the final podcastle?

and for as semi-seriously one do you guys consider what your legacy is? Jim has conner to surpass him when he gets off age. they are thinking about named a street after Lara craft, which I assume Lauren will move her house there. And maybe wardrox drowns via coffee? So has the podcastle been worth it?

"If it hurts nuns, do as you will".

I had two questions, but both of them were more than three lines, so here is another, shorter one:

You have three videogame related wishs. Anything from getting a game to having a dream game made. What would they be?

How does Jim feel about Ridley Scott returning to helm the Alien prequel? Also,does The Podcastle break means that Jim's Book of Swears will finally be released?

Hope things get better, for whatever reason this podcast is leaving us.

Anyways, Suda51. Is he a true artist by giving us games that go against the grain, or is he just a bad game designer?

With the Secret of Monkey island giving the player the ability to press back at any time and see the 8 bit version is there any other games that would benefit from this being added? Alien Vs predator perhaps?

If had to be stuck in a room with wardrox for the rest of your life, how would you kill yourself? -the room is 6meters x 6meters. You have a cassette player. a tape of wardrox repeating the word "like" and a picture of atheistiums grandma.

if the podcastle crew were thrown into a videogame and in the process turned into ice cream, what flavor of ice cream would you be and what powers would you each have to complement each other much like in trine. Please keep your powers relevant to the flavor of ice cream you choose.

One final limerick T_T

Your bickering brought us much cheer
But now I must hold back a tear
All good things must end
Thanks for being a friend
I'll countdown to your next premier <3

I really don't have a question, but more of a request for some final Jimpressions (Skeletor, Liquid Snake and what have you) and maybe for some amusing stories about your wacky hi-jinxes together. I really just want to offer my thanks, for putting on this amazing show, that lit up my week when ever it recorded. It may very well have been my favorite podcast, and I'll eagerly await it's return in whatever format the future holds for it (Day time soap opera?) You will be missed!

Also, since it's your grand finale, will this episode be more controversial then the infamous afortitled episode?

<3 you all, and thanks again for blessing us with this amazing show.

...Is this really the final Podcastle ever?
If Assassin's Creed 2 flops do you think I have a chance with Jade Raymond?
Will the USA ever enjoy football like the rest of the world?
When do you think we will see more Final Fantasy games on the Playstation Network?

If, according to his detractors, Jim is anti-Nintendo, anti-Sony AND anti-Microsoft, what exactly does he support?

Also, is Jim jealous of Atheistium because he thinks nobody out there would grab his tits?

If Wardrox falls and Jim Sterling isn't there to hear him does he make a sound?

If you could go back in time and could only re-do or not do an episode of the Podcastle which one would it be and why?

Hey it's everyone's bestest bud Halfie! First of all I wish all three of you a fun last episode of The Podcastle (by which I mean NO FUCKING BICKERING).

And now for some questions:

As the three of you work in or are approaching a potential career surrounding videogames. Do you think that it's a lifetime job or something that will eventually pass you by as you get older?

Where do you see yourselves in 10 years time,in terms of the things you do and the people you interact with (gaming-wise, obviously)?

How did you three first find Destructoid?

Here's a good one: Sometimes I feel that I'm not as much of a 'gamer' (so-to-speak) as others because I don't see and don't care about the 'meaning' behind some games. I don't care for metaphors or subtle social commentaries. I just want to have fun. How do you three feel about this? Is it me making an example of myself as an ignorant prole? Or do you think that games are what we make them and we can choose to look as deeply into them as we want (with or without beret)?

Also, we need to play more L4D. I have to re-educate you two on not being terrible.

Where's my cloth map?

And are you guys taking a break because Wardrox is starting his own podcast at Negativegamer.com? If so it's not like we'll be losing much, he's the only one on the show with a reasonable opinion. What with Jim hating inFamous and Atheistium getting all wet for Tomb Raider while slagging off the climbing controls in Uncharted.

To clear this up once and for all, the GamerCast promo announcers were different people. Dave (who Wardrox sends his emails to) is from the Sarcastic Gamer podcast, and used to do the promos. Chad, host of the Videogame Show and founder of the GamerCast Network is the “depressed sounding” one. Jim, I’d like to know two things. Firstly, I’ve listened to an early episode, and it had you treating the Podcastle as an actual castle - why did you drop that pretense? Secondly, did you know there’s another podcast called the Podcastle? Finally, my friend Scott says hi, and you may now insult him as inventively as possible. He’ll come up with a witty rejoinder soon. Not that you'll be around to hear it.

Jim, we all know you are a big fan of the "Aliens" games. Other than Alien vs. Predator what is another crossover you would like to see involving Aliens or Predators? i.e., Aliens vs. Gary Busey

Serious Question; What is the purpose of your reviews? Is your sole intention to better inform customers on what their purchasing choices should be?

Less Serious; What podcasts should we listen to in the Podcastle's stead? Should we even try to fill that gap or ought we pine the weeks away with our loins ever moistening until the fated day of return at which point we will be so exclamatorialy overjoyed we will actually shit out our own guts?

@hpv; if you want to listen to a podcast full of people with correct opinions and shit, there will be significantly fewer utterances of the word "cunt".

Jim I have a request for you; Can you recreate that horrible sound you made a couple of episodes back in order to control both Athiestium and Wardrox babbling.

If you could maniacally laugh over it , I would be a very happy panda.
