Destructoid's one and only Britpop podcast, The Podcastle, records tomorrow and we have prepared an absolute belter of a show for you. This week, for one week only, we will be unplanned, lazily recorded, unreasonably vulgar and not able to speak properly without shouting and screaming like a toddler who's had too much Sunny D. We've never done something this ambitious before, so we're looking forward to it.
As a special one-off treat, you will also be allowed to post questions or statements in the thread following this message, which we might actually read on the show. How amazing is that? You better get 'em in now, because we won't have time to read the thousands upon thousands of posts from our fifteen billion listeners.
Jim Sterling serves as reviews editor for Destructoid.com, head of the Podtoid podcast, and produces a number of news stories, original features, one-of-a-kind videos. With his passionate argumentative style, controversial opinions, harsh delivery, and dedication to brutal honesty Sterling is a name that you can't help but recognize.

Do you think Albino midgets are under-represented in modern video games and what steps can be taken to encourage a comeback for the Chuckle Brothers?
Seriously, what is it with the PSOne classics section in this country only having the good games for a limited time? First they dropped Spyro before I had a PS3 to buy it, and now this! Do they actually want our money for these downloadable games or what!
Incidentally, how do you feel about GTA on the DS selling so poorly? Do you think it will, along with Madworld's poor sales, mean that no publisher will ever release anything involving violence or mature themes in any way on a Nintendo console?
You mean 15.
With the reference to Sunny D in this post, what are your thoughts on Purple Stuff?
Jim, how do you assign a game to one of your staff if no one wants to review? Do you guys like wrestle each other? Or on the flip side what if everyone wants to review it? Do you just keep it for yourself, cuz fuck them whats the point of power if you don't abuse it?
Atheistium, fess up!
Remember kids, Corn Syrup is good for you... or at least that is what wonderful American corn grower commercials tell me.
Its like trying to dodge rain by running in a zig zag pattern. (FYI, that doesn't work!)
*Brutaly maim
Second question, why would anybody buy a DSi?
Of the two impending superhero games coming out, inFamous and Prototype, which one are you more interested in, and why? Personally, I think the idea of Prototype appeals to me more, but to be honest I can't buy inFamous anyway as I lack a PS3.
Also, I ask Zantetsuken's question again.
How cool is Dominic Diamond?
What would the Podcastle TV show be like?
Could Druids ever feature as the enemy in a Videogame?
Do gaming and boats go together?
Game or Gamestation?
Will we see a slew of Book to Game adaptations because of Dante's Inferno?
Will the PSP 2 really not have a UMD drive considering Sony have invested heavily into it?
If London and Edinburgh were too rise up on giant robot legs and fight, which one would win?
What game do you predict will be the greatest disappointment of the year?
Would a game based on Cheesecake be any fun? and what would the Cheesecake do?
Alcohol or Drugs when gaming?
Why should the public put up with shovelware?
What's the worst "innovation"?
What in your opinion is the real next step forward for videogames?
(cos mass scale digital distribution is going to be an epic fail)
If you could be any other member of the Podcastle for a day, who would you be and what would you do?
What's the best Arnold Schwarzenegger Science Fiction Film?
* The Terminator
* Predator
* The Running Man
* Total Recall
* Terminator 2: Judgment Day
* The 6th Day
* Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
Have you ever broken something game related?
(I once broke my PSP whilst have sex with my ex)
It isn't that hard to avoid Corn Syrup. You just have to spend a lot more money shopping in the organic section or find a store with a british international section. It saddens me that I can only find Hob Knobs with the chocolate on them, I just want the plain ones.
@grasslunatic
Wouldn't it be amazing if you start off as the first Doctor and then everytime you die in the game your resurrect as the next one down the line. Once you get to number eleven you just spawn in as Frankenstein with a Emo haircut. God that show is going to suck once Tennant and Davies are gone.
@mikeyed
I bought one simply so I could have a bigger screen for staring at Chrono Trigger. That and I like to take pictures of my junk... it is just a shame I can't email them from it.
@The Podcastle
Jim: I think you should speak in a fake southern accent the entire time (or a least a little so I can giggle)
Wardrox: I think you should enjoy a few beers before you record (it is great when you ramble)
Atheistium: I think you rub it in to Wardrox that you were gamer of the month...
Also You Need A Torrent! I'm missing the first 10 or so episodes.
Ask Atheistium to stop being such a dirty camper in BOTS.
And
What are the best/worst franchise colliding games? (mario & sonic/super Smash Bros)
What do the company, Swann Morton make?
no looking at google.
JRPG characters aren't allowed, as they all are, the fanfic says so.
In my opinion, one of the reasons video games are considered children's toys is not because of the final product, themes, or content of the games, but because of the way the games are marketed. Most games' TV spots are solely focused on exhibiting the graphics and gameplay, but not the mature themes and intricate plots of the game itself (one exception to this is mgs4, which had great trailers that portrayed the game's theme exceptionally well).
So here is my question: do you think the video game industry is actually encouraging to the idea that video games are for kids with their marketing, or do you think it is purely the public's preconceptions that lead to this belief?
Thanks for reading, and keep up the good work.
The man is sex on legs.
Also, with Jim moving away, will he have to stop participating in the Podcastle? Where in America are you going Jim?
Best image ever?:
Discuss.
It's clear I'm a bit of a scholar,
Of girl's who we'll just say are "smaller,"
Oh how long has it been,
Since I've had a girl over ten,
Don't hate cuz you know I'm so baller.
If you could combine two faces of any videogame characters and use this newly created face as your own which faces would you use and what do you imagine the resulting abomination would look like?
Also since Podtoid had its Street fighter movie commentary i think the podcastle should do its own commentary i suggest doing it on left 4 head.
