Appropriate opener because Podtoid and R&G all RAWK (... my CAWK).

okay guys, so if you had to have your life ended by a video game related character, who would it be, and how would they do it?

CANST THOU SUMMON THE VERY ROCKS?

What has been the most awe-inspiring cinematic moment in a videogame? I think that the MGS series really changed the standards on how the cutscenes could seem in such a movie-like fashion (besides the codec bits, obviously). Shadow of the Colossus also had some very breathtaking scenes, I would like to hear some of the podtoid cast's favorite moments like these.

having read Rosencrantz & Guildenstern this year, who do you think you guys might be in the story?

by the way summa is obviously the pedophilic player.

What movie is up next for the commentoid?

What is your view on the Fullajah controversy, I live about 20 minutes from where it is made, and the someone in the local paper called it "Profiting ofdead people", Does this also mean that Steven Spielberg hates the jews because he made a movie about the holocaust which is just like what this person is trying to say? Even though he himself is Jewish! THAT BASTARD!
Also:
Your boner when you play Batman Arkham Asylum will be rocksteady.

You need to get out of your ivory tower and try The Dark Spire!

Opinions on AssCreed2?

this week I'll just say hi to everyone

The cast seems to have come to the (very much correct) consensus that the whole "when will games truly be art" quandary is kind of shit and asking for something now that's way premature, but do you feel that there seems to be this certain narrow minded obsession with a game that's "art." Plenty of great books and films, like Apocalypse Now (or it's source material), All The Kings Men and Ulysses while fantastic works are not really "art," but they are fantastic stories that are just as valid and good as there artistic counterparts, just in different ways. There have been plenty of videogames that are in a same boat, like Chrono Trigger, Persona 3, Beyond Good and Evil, Half Life 2, Aaron Linde's Bonerquest, Earthbound, Metal Gear Solid that while not art, have incredible stories that are as well worth hearing as the works of masters like James Joyce or Francis Ford Coppala. Do you guys have any thoughts, counter or for this school of thought or similar observations?

No love for Neal Mcdonough?

Since the release of Duke Nukem 3D in 1996, gaming in general has come a long way, and Duke Nukem Forever looks like a remake of the old one with current gen graphics. Don't you think we're over the hole "one-liner action hero, mindless shooter action"?

Favorite Sexual Position?

Ok, if that doesn't work out, would you guys enjoy a college made newscast for Destructoid? It's just me and some news segments from the site, but on a shitty camera. Does that sound good to you?

At one of the GDC talks, a developer mentioned that the aspect of video games that seems to have used the least of its potential is Multiplayer. Do you guys think that the proper place to explore this potential would be in the limited environment, like most games have, or the MMO arena, despite the complexities and resources any MMO undertaking needs?

Along the lines of the SotC movie discussion/debacle, what videogame do you guys think could actually make a decent film, given the methods and practices of Hollywood today? When you look at all game movies of years past, the major studios have always felt the need to over-complicate the most simple of concepts (De-Evolution Gun...need I say more), or alter minor story details for the pure sake of infuriating the gaming community.

Maybe I'm answering my own question here, and we're just gonna hafta wait a few more generations until videogame narratives gain a little more respect, but what game could you see being made into a remotely passable film adaption?

Here's one that will either bond Samit with the rest of the cast or further divide them:

So, looking at baseball from a game design standpoint, is there something inherently boring as shit about a sport where teams take turns allowing a maximum of four players do anything at all? Perhaps this is why a baseball game with MMO style league elements has never been tried? Nobody wants to spend an entire afternoon as the third string pitcher watching other people stand around doing little to nothing.

It's puzzling as to why no one has every thought of a game like henry hatsworth before.

1. how come yuo guys didnt post the podcast94 so baller with that dick robert zumma on the site. how come i only found it on itunes. People should hear how fuckin messed up he is. that petifile cunt face.
2.Do you think that the results from people arguing over the stupid controvery over six days in fallujah will really amount to anything. Do you think that all these bullshit comments are really doing the game bad or is it in the end helping promting the game out?

IMPORTANT: Criticize Joystiq for doing a professional interview and them make the first bold faced quotes talk about the makers and insurgents, of course it was in the interview but it looked like they were asking for a flame war. LET'S HAVE JIM GIVE IT TO HIM!

P.S. I call bullshit if Jim isn't on this episode.

Something from IRC. What about the idea of a price-based scoring system, as in rating the game based on an appraisal of its worth. Would this be a clearer way of rating games or would it make the games quality ever more ambiguous? Also, do you think this would have a positive or negative effect on fanboy reactions?

Have you and your friends ever come up with entire interlocking backstories and an accompanying universe for your "create a character" players in a game, say for example, Soul Calibur 4, and then left the stock characters and universe completely behind?

It seems that good fighting games with excellent character creation are especially ripe for this sort of play, and the personalized results can far outshine the original intended product.

Everyone: What are your best multiplayer experiences, both offline and online, and do you prefer premade game types in multiplayer games or times when you make your own less official games to play such as random fun in GTA IV's free mode? I don't mean just great moments but game modes which struck a truly awesome note or a situation with friends that made a game amazing. For me Perfect Dark's multiplayer is my favourite pass time with my mates when we want to just play games. If there were four of us we'd just make some awesome game types and have loads of fun, but I found it best when it was just me and a friend, we'd usually make up some sort of backstory before starting it up and it made it that much more fun to stick to it.

As I said previously GTA IV's free mode was great with friends (matchamking was just stupid deathmatch), as you could do most things you could think of there. We wasted more time messing around the city than we did playing the actual game.

Which video game movie would you like made back into a video game?

Example... Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game
