What is better than an anniversary show? Dinosaurs, cakes and blowjobs, but apart from that holy trinity, what is better? NOTHING!
Yes, The Podcastle, Destructoid's Britpop podcast, has turned one year old and we are celebrating by ... well ... basically doing what we did a couple of months ago. Don't worry though, you'll like it, probably.
Back by quasi-popular demand, we shall be holding yet another controversial episode! Popular games will get the kicking they deserve, and people who shouldn't be listening are sure to be offended.
As always, the vast majority of these shows rest upon the shoulders of you, the listener. We need another batch of controversial questions, opinions and ideas. You were unbelievable last time, and this time we want you to outdo yourselves.
Feel free to jog your memories with the first controversial episode. You know, just to remind yourselves of how awful you all were. You make me sick.
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.

All I ask is for Jim to make a controversial statement towards rednecks or Americans in general, since he's now been living amongst us for a bit.
Good day, sir.
Ok now no trolls can use that line, yeah!
And in conclusion, halo fucking sucks.
WTF?
a) A bit crap
b) more fun when running fast than Mirror's Edge
Also, why don't we prevent retards from breeding? In the long run, teh human race would benefit.
Also have any of you played Odin Sphere? If you have I would like to hear your impressions on it. Personally, I would rather have cancer in my anus then play that pile of shit again. Sure it is pretty, but a fat 60 year old whore with makeup on is still a fat 60 year old whore.
OH SNAP!
He is also trying to put his roots behind him
That, my friends, is true controversy
Also, Keith Vaz
Cunt or uber cunt?
2. Blizzard is one of the worst developers, period. Warcraft: shit. WoW: shit. Starcraft: shit. Diablo: shit. They are incapable of making a game that doesn't make you want to kill yourself from boredom. Here's how to win in a Blizzard game: click, click, click. At least in Dynasty Warriors it looks fucking cool. In Blizzard games it looks like a blurry turd smeared on a rotting dead guy.
3. While I'm on that, Square Enix. Fuck Square Enix. they seem to have a talent at creating the same game over and over, while collecting the only fans in the world worse than those of Xbox Live users. I can take idiot kids and racists. They're normal. Final Fantasy fangirls, though, are the only argument I need for Capital Punishment. You're lying if you haven't wanted to kill one of those disgraces to humanity.
BONUS:
While I'm riled up, I'll list games that can fuck right off.
Guitar Hero
Halo
Mario Galaxy
Anything with "Wii" in the title
Turn based strategy games
Games that have stat systems
Games made in Japan
Anything not made by Valve.
Ok, I'm done.
Just you try and disprove me!
ps:
Atheistium is a girl doing a mans job!
uhuhuhuhuhuh...
Only kidding - YOU GUYS!
Why is it that there are hundreds of WWII games out there but there is not a single one where you can win the war with the Germans. Invading England with Tiger Tanks would be so awesome.
(shure they would ban it here in Germany but that wouldn't keep me from importing it.)
I also think that mirrors edge is the most innovative game since pong
That isn't to say I don't like Barack Obama, it's just that people are acting like he's the first inspirational black man ever. Do people not remember Lenny Henry playing a Headmaster on television?!
How's america? Have you played MGS4 yet or are you still eating greasy stuff?
I like having a thing that represents me to tweak and play around with.
I don't care that it's a bit pointless. There, I said it.
The word you're looking for is Yanklanders.
STEPITUP!
Also, controversial statement of truth, MASS EFFECT IS THE BEST GAME ON THE 360, IF YOUR OPINIONS DIFFERS FROM MINE IT IS INVALID. Now you admit defeat.
Also also, get that woman-cum-pig off the show. All she ever does is squeal.
Take Bonerquest for example. It's really only the Podtoid hosts that have anything worth while to add. The listeners rehash what's said for the sake of being part of the joke.
Also, spunk on Lauren's face lolololol! It's just as funny from an internet stranger as it is from a friend, right?

Sonic the Hedgehog has never been in a good game. Ever. Even the supposed "holy grail" original Sonic games were just shitty platformers with a fast bit ever now and then. The jumping sucked, it was way too hard to control Sonic in mid-air, and pretty much everything about the game was bland and forgettable. The "oh so fantastic" music is overrated beyond belief; some beeps and whistles in a sort-of-melodic pattern isn't a formula for "classic" music. The bits that everyone loves so much, the speed, is probably worst of all. It's so fun holding down 'right' for 30 seconds and then dying because of an enemy that was in a ever-so slightly different place than last time. The best game with Sonic in it was Super Smash Bros. Brawl, because you can choose to not play as the rodent and instead beat the shit out of him.

Better?
Also is it just me or are these questions way less controversial than the last episodes? What's the matter boys your balls drop off?
Very good social commentary if you ask me.
Jim, how do you enjoy the new continent?
Wardrox, how can you live your life without Mr Sterling?
Lauren, how is life without the momentary threat of Jim's spunk getting anywhere near your face?
Also for controversy: I won't buy RE5, because I can't kill only blacks in it. If I play a WWII shooter I want to kill Nazis, who are actually my forefathers since I am a German, which is kind of sick on its own. And an action game in Africa should feature the killing of blacks?
Note: Even Sony's safari game AFRIKA has a rather primitive behaving black driver called Jumbo for their safari truck.
Also note: All above is a lie. I will buy RE5 either way and I don't enjoy playing WWII shooters.
Put the player in the mind of a wife beater. Make them discover why he does the things she makes him do. All the while making it fun to smack a bitch silly with motion controls.
That would be interesting, controversial, AND innovative! Eh? EH??
I'd say a vast majority of female video game characters deserve a good sock in the mouth anyways...
Also, please come to Mardi Gras, it's a great place to see tits and get wasted.
In the spirit of finality that this last Podcastle engenders, why has it taken you an entire year to come up with an annual show? It had better be good:)
Everyone on the Podcastle must now state their opinion which they feel is the most controversial.
WHEN ARE YOU MOVING JIM?
If I had more time I'd photoshop her heart and lungs coming out of her mouth too :D
Congrats on the first birthday guys, heres your present;
Why are the only controversial topics that come up in reference to games are sex and violence? Why are there no games that delve into the horrible attrocities that the world has seen? No underground railroad stealth game? No native genocide shooters? What gives?
