The Podcastle records tomorrow, whether you like it or not photo

On tomorrow's episode of The Podcastle, we promise not to invite former colleagues onto the show so we can shout at them. Instead we'll be talking about some things, like why Lux Pain is so confusing, and my first Jimpressions of San Francisco. Also, Wardrox went to London for some Godawful reason, but that's less interesting so we might just ignore him.

As always, we record tomorrow evening, Brit-time, so make sure you get your filthy questions in before then. There will be a prize of NOTHING to those who provide us with the most thought provoking interrogation.

If you and Harry Solomon (from '3rd Rock from the Sun') were trapped on an island together, do you think you would be capable of killing him and eating his body to stay alive?
You know rescue is coming, but it is distant enough for you to die of starvation before it gets there.
Could you do it?

I repeat my last question: Sterling vs Hatsworth... who would win and would it be a bitter rivalry or a epic alliance? Or in short, on-sight-fisticuffers or monoclebuddies?

Jim is the ruler, Lauren his manservant and wardrox a great and noble knight. I ask you what is wrong with this picture.

Or?

What proof do you have that Wardrox is the gay?

Or

If Lauren were to put a donk on _____ how or what would illicit the most laughter

Lauren and Wardrox, please take a moment to remind Jim that it's his fault we don't have a Street Fighter movie commentary. Feel free to call him a pedo, make fun of his haircut, or anything else that comes to mind.

Questions about videogames on the Podcastle? Are you all stark raving mad?

Oh I suppose I better hop aboard the bandwagon full of sweat and lies...

I've never really known what your favourite games/series are...

I mean, I have the Impression wardrox likes Far Cry 2 quite a bit, Jim is a Dynasty Warriors man, and atheistium is a fan of Shit Raider [Thats the name, right?]

But what are your 5 favourites?

Bonus Round (WooWoo!):

Which Games do you hate with a passion?

Jim have you bought a gun yet i've always wondered what sort of packageing they come in.

Also How much wood could a wood chuck if the woodchuck was acey bongos, the wood was his sperm, and the chucking was ejeculating on Lauren's face? I'm going to ask this every week until it get answered, you cant protect her forever!!!!!!111!

Apologies for the lack of limericks recently!

This weeks is about the one and only World Famous:

It started with Rev as the caller
But the episode made the forums holler
Jim just listened in
His mouth formed grin
"That episode sure was so baller"

And for my question, what has been Mister Gamercast Announcer's response been to the increasingly surrealist show descriptions? Also, can Podcastle have there own knockoff version of the Suma show, in which you guys call up random numbers and shout angrily at who ever picks up?

How far did you get into Lux-Pain before you realised you were playing a babelfish translation voice acted by randoms pulled off the street?

Did Wardrox bring back any loot for the thieves guild from his trip to London?

I love Lauren. It's not a question but she's awesome and adorable.

As a negative gamer, a controversial internet personality, and a girl you all probably get more than your fair share of flak for basically any and all opinions/posts you may have/write.

So my question is; How do you deal with the internet confrontation of other people's opinions? I might be a little crap, but I'm not quite used to it yet and I feel sort of anxious, even sick dealing with it sometimes. Any tips for less experienced blogojournalists?

Also. Visit NG and DP because all of the cool kids do.

I actually enjoyed Jim's article about games journalists fearing their audience. It had many valid points and the fact that it brought out the trolls made it all the better.

Now on to my question.

"Jimpressions" oh, so very witty Jim, it must be nice having your very own word to use.

What's happening in London? What's that "godawful" reason?

Are visualized multiple paths books really that interesting? Cause I don't understand why people would pay money on it as opposed to an actual video game. I'm more of a oldschool type, I prefer reading those types of books on an actual hardcopy book without all the visuals, instead on a computerized video screen.

Jim: Thanks to you I recently signed up for a Gamefly account because I have hated Gamestop for a number of years and just thought there was no allternative. Could you compare and contrast Gamestop with the Local Game retailers you frequented in the UK while doing it in your ohh so funny parliment vocie. Ohh and p.s. can you ask the spunk queen why she is so stupidly in love with that horrible Cunt Raider(Tomb Raider) game. Its shit and I just wanna know if its because shes like feeling a sense of female empowerment or some stupid shit like that or if she actually just likes the game play.

I've been replaying Banjo Kazooie and I've gotten to the last boss, but I couldn't finish it when I was six and I still can't finish it today. Aside from this I still adore the game and it holds a special place in my heart. So my question is to all of you: Have you got games which you have never finished but still love?

This is a question for both Jim and Wardrox. If you both were having a gay circle jerk and laurens face was the spunk target which cheek would you cum on and why. Or would you go for the long distance mouth shot and yell out OWNED after sniping her in between the lips.

Would a game based on Cheesecake be any fun? and what would the Cheesecake do?
