So are Activision Nazis, Pedophiles or something much more complicated like an intergalactic fascist empire that demands you eat bananas and dance to a creepy tune?
How you guys tried NEOTOKYO? It's a Half Life 2 mutiplayer mod. I'd give you my first impression, but that might tint your play.

So let me get this straight. Modern Warfare 2 (regular version) costs 101.06 Canadian Dollars, in the UK????? What is normally the price of games in the UK in GBP?
Are you excited about The Beatles Rock Band, and will you be able to afford it? Also the vocal harmonies support 3 singers... perfect number for the podcastle.
What price would you pay for an ELO Rock Band, complete with Cello, Violin, Horn, and Synthesizer instruments? Special edition includes a lock of Jeff Lynne's hair.

Would a surrealist or dadaist game be worth playing?
or would it be frustrating?
I remember reading reviews when the Harvey Birdman game came out that complained that it was frustrating, due to the dada-esqe nature of the comedy.
Britian was the third place country that made the most videogames.
However given this fact there arent any expo's in Britain.
Well cept Game On.
but thats new.
do you feel that there isnt much of a gaming culture/infrastructure. and what improvements would need to be made.
this kinda plays into what you were saying a couple of episodes ago about how games developers are spread over the country.
also has jim recovered from the discovery of the hold on his psp?

Just a limerick this week, about the Modern Warfare 2 Collectors Edition
I'll pay for an artbook and score
But even I'm not this big of a whore
A real Night Vision Goggle?
My mind this does boggle
They'll be tons of these left in the store
And for my question, once digital distribution becomes even more standard, do you think game publishers will find them selves in a similar spot as book publishers with e-books, who are being forced to re-shift their paradigm, now that the standard price for digitally distributed books is $9.99. We've already seen backlash against games like Castle Crashers and Braid due to their high(er) price point, and with games, the cost of producing them is much much higher then their literary counterparts, a showdown between the consumer and producer seems inevitable. One interesting thing that publishers have started doing is staggering the releases of electronic counterparts to expected big sellers to theoretically boost the profits by guiding people to purchase the more costly real life version. The jury is still out on if it works or not of course, but if so, do you think that could be a viable path for the games industry? Your thoughts on the whole issue?
Also, a special thanks to Wardrox for being a sole voice of reason in this absurd anti-Left4Dead2/anti-anti-Left4Dead2 tomfoolery.

Wardox, using your all mighty qualifications in computer stuff canyou please tell us if irobot could ever happen. And will milo join us or crush us with his robot bretheren?
If I mention the upcoming negativegamer video game in the comments, does it give Wardrox a good reason to talk about it on the Podcastle?
Bernard's Watch...
It's the kind of program I used to watch, and always wanted to punch the little git in the face.
Even though I'm atleast 9 years older than him.

Does Guyver O boycott thread (the Modern Warfare price) in the podcastle forum rubbish or does it have any value? Can we just crush his dreams or do we embrace them?
if you had bernards watch what would you do?
i would either do something sexual to people
or freeze time and punch low flying seagulls , that'd be sweet

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, when are you moving to America, and when you do, will the Podcastle be cancelled? My friend Scott says hi, by the way. He’ll come up with a witty rejoinder soon.

My line on the £55 Modern Warfare 2:
Not payin', not playin'
(unless play.com sells it for £40 or less)
If the piss-weak Pound means that I have to ease off on my videogames purchases for a while, then that's what I'll have to do. My other option is: mug a granny and nick her purse. Tempting, but I'll refrain....

So Jim, what's the worst insult for you, being called:
a)Overweight
b)A Microsoft whore
c)Yahtzee
d)The next Robert Summa

Will Hollie ever be on the Podcastle again? She has what is undeniably the sexiest voice in podcasting, and my ears long to feel the gentle caress of her voice once again. :3

No offense, Lauren, you're still in my top 10.

I remember watching Bernard's Watch when I was younger and getting really pissed off that he didn't stop time and just run around punching people and stealing shit.
What a twat.

Jim, have you ever been in a situation where you reviewed a game, gave it a low score, but later played it again and wound up liking it a lot more then you did before, and regreted the score you originally gave it?
Wardrox, what do you think games need to improve upon the most, technology wise, in the next few years?
Jim, as one big guy to another, what is the lamest insult regarding your weight that you ever recieved?
Do youn think other companies will do what Activision is doing to COD: MW2, and up the price on big name titles like Bioshock and Max Payne 3?

How angry will Wardrox be when MW2 inevitably sells very well and shoots to the top of the charts despite it's exorbitant price? Will the inevitable killing spree finally prove that games cause violence?
Also, why is a murderous rampage referred to as a spree? Isn't the joviality implied by the term spree a bit insensitive?
Lauren Wardrox and Jim. I enjoy all of the Destructoid podcasts but this is the first time i have asked a question. This has probably been answered before but how did all of you meet and how did the Podcastle start? Also, I know that Jim always proudly proclaims that the Podcastle is shit but i quite like it. It's unique and it provides me with a lot of laughs but there is quite often a serious discussion or topic behind all of the name calling and tomfoolery. Are all of you proud of your work on the Podcastle and where do you see it going from here?
Hey it's everyone's bestest bud halfie!
In the unlikely event of you getting this far down the listener questions you should ask yourselves this:
Infinite supply of videogames, or infinite supply of food. Which would you rather have?

To Atheistium: By the time that you get to the listener questions...how often do Wardrox and Jim's arguments make it uncomfortable to even be on Skype with them while recording?
Does Activision not see a difference between the market in the United Kingdom and Australia now?
To Jim: How long do you plan on making your "The VideoGame Show - What I've Done" series last?
