Gentleman Dinosaur LIVES!
Created by AgentMOO for his multiplayer work-in-progress, AMMO (there'll be a session on Friday night, for all those who would like to attend), we finally have our first -- but hopefully not final -- version of Jim and Aaron's Gentleman Dinosaur.
Tonight at 8 pm PST, we again return to that most comforting of Podtoid structures: the random news episode. We'll be talking about game review vocabulary, first-person parkour and, if we're not careful, probably more stuff about GTA IV.
But what does this mean for you?
Well, there's still time to submit an entry in the MGS Podtoid contest, write a sonnet (this week's sonnet theme: the Gentleman Dinosaur), and, of course, ask a question of the cast that may or may not net you twenty-five dollar dollar dollar bills.
Contest:

the prize must be mine!!
Hopefully that's somewhat on topic, also your Metal Gear Contest, totally win. That was waaaaaay too much fun.
Anyways, I suppose I will put forth a relevant question to a random news show. Jim put up the post about the SecuROM nonsense with Spore and Mass Effect. I suppose I will ask if you guys see this getting pulled out of the final release or will they react at all to the negative feedback this has generated?
I can understand wanting to make sure your product is not being pirated, but this is quite excessive. Mass Effect is a single player RPG, why should I have to be connected to the internet for that? I know through personal experience that parts of the midwest are suffering some pretty bad routing issues from time to time due to certain networks having hardware issues, and having single player games that were not reliant upon my internet connection where pretty nice to have at those times.
As for the MGS contest, I'd enter myself, but I can't find my mic. Oh well, such is life.
Question: How well do you think Earthbound will do as far as sales go? People over at IGN feel that it will only sell 2,000 copies.
www.starmen.net has the audio clip from ign talking about Earthbound.
PAWEES put that on the podtoid, I'd like to hear opinions!
Nintendo power had a poll on most wanted upcoming Virtual Console releases and Earthbound was #1 with Mother 1 coming it at #4.
How much would it cost to get a 8, 9, or 10 score on Destructoid? seriously.
And, ethical or not - can/should/do publishers track reviewers stats online (to see if they played and for how long). can you be called out on your review?
I'll listen to that.
A corncob pipe and monocle he dons,
But etiquette is unbeknownst to him.
His favourite foods are neither crepes nor flans;
His only foodie pleasure comes with skin.
Miss Manners wouldn't give him time of day,
Although he tries his best to act mature.
I doubt that she would really like the way
He'd eat her; but, she always was demure.
It's tough, you see, to brush your teeth and such
With talons built like toothpicks on your chest.
While high society thinks he's too much,
The d-toid fanbase all think he's the best.
A gentleman of prehistoric girth,
I wish he wasn't extinct from this earth.
seriously that was awful. fuck you guys for making me do that.
TWO QUESTIONS FOR PODTOID:
#1. We hear about all this stuff in GTA IV that pisses people off. Does anything in it make you guys uncomfortable? (I, for one, was a little sketched out by the cynical homophobia in that one mission.)
#2. WHICH ONE OF YOU HAS THE BIGGEST CRUSH ON LITTLE OL' SONNET-WRITING ME? DON'T LIE, I WON'T TELL ANYONE
Since I wrote some theme music for the Haikus I thought if you guys want I would write some theme music for the sonnets as well! Feel free to use if if you want, and if not I can license it or something :)

Now that I've got your attention here's my question
What games have made you cry and who is each of your favorite Phoenix Wright character
As for questions, I think I've got a few.
1) What do you think of this Killzone/LittleBigPlanet mashup Sony made?
2) Do you think it means Sony is planning on making more modified versions of the characters based on their franchises? Or better yet, do you think they might allow a UT3 level of character mods for the players?
3) What kinds of modified versions would you be looking forward to if this came true, and would you be willing to pay for these if they charged a small amount?
OH SHI- CONTROVERSY ALERT!
Also, what would be their skills and combo attacks?
Also, I am spelling the dinosaurs Dhapasourus Rex and Hoatcoatadactyl, is that correct enough?
Giant lizards of dignity and grace
Drinking their tea in a leather armchair
Their stock tickers at a furious pace
My plan... I do hope they are not aware
One wears a monacle upon his eye
This gentleman from an age so long past
Would not hesitate to cause me to die
One wrong move would probably be my last
I act quickly so as not to be caught
With my intention the oddest of goals
My end achieved, a most successful plot
Embarrassment for one of these ass holes
For I took a dump in his bowler hat
Placed back on his head, it made a loud splat
Question 2: WHY is nearly all of america ignoring Trackmania? (USA 42000 Users; Germany 119000 Users)
Also, why does Aaron Linde hate Ocarina of Time so much? Is it some kind of poorly-hidden racism, sexism and homophobia?
Anyway, love you people, especially that sexy brit Jim Sterling.
Your thoughts?

ANYWAY MY QUESTION:
What was the most emotionally poignant plot point of Burger Time? The tomato landing on the lettuce? The infamous pickle mutilation scene? Inquiring minds must know!
The Gentleman Dinosaur
A classy reptile,
Clearly sophisticated -
Stop eating the guests!
Also, question: the new crossover game on the front page, Cross Edge... did you need new pants, too, after reading about it? Will it ever come to America, or are we looking at Namco x Capcom all over again?
MAGNETISM!?

Also
I know thatRetroforceGO! has There Will be Blood.
But what does Podtoid have? No County for Old Men?
If that's the case, what does the Podcastle have?
Yeah I got nuffin.
