Podtoid: Destructoid's Video Game Podcast

This week, Jim Sterling and Jonathan Holmes hold the fort to talk about hit modern musicians like Alien Ant Farm and Jason Donovan. We also chat about the impact of piracy and copyright law, Paula Deen's impact on the videogame industry, and a Predator that glows in the dark.  For something a bit more game-specific, we've got Resident Evil 6, Resident Evil: Revelations and the evolution of the survival horror genre for you to listen at. We manage to discuss it quite a bit before we laugh at more entitled manbabies and invent the world's great board game. The world's GREATEST!

On a lengthy episode of Podtoid, the gang discusses Jurassic Park without the dinosaurs, phone conversations with psychic hamburgers, and reading porn in bomb shelters. We also debut a new weekly feature in which we laugh as Male Rights Activists, we play a round of Jonny Buckaroo, and get erotic with Fern Gully references.  Elsewhere on the show, Kingdoms of Amalur is discussed, while AMY's developers are taken to task for being liars. Oh, and there's something about semen and cock biting. As usual. 

On this week's thrilling episode of Podtoid, the gang discuss Hanna-Barbera cartoons, the needlessness of the prequel, and the amazing man that sells Max beer and is obviously a supervillain. We also discuss the hilarious racism in James Bond novels, and get into deep theological territory while discussing whether or not it's okay to have sex with God.  We also chat about AMY being crap, Asura's Wrath being a QTE festival, and Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater. All this and much more, only on Podtoid!

On this week's Podtoid, we get pretty damn vicious about Sandra Bullock, we chat about the ethics of making mental patients fight like pocket monsters, and we chat about how 2012 is going to be a "great year for game journalism." We're pretty sarcastic about that particular sentiment. There's also yet more talk about the PS Vita, and something about some other videogames.   Despite the festivities, there's also a bit of tragedy. Jonathan Holmes is sick, Max Scoville is bad at sex and Jim Sterling suffers multiple betrayals at the hand of his own industry. Tara Long, however ... Tara trumps them all. You'll have to listen to uncover her fate. 

It's a festive edition of Podtoid this week, as Jim Sterling and Jonathan Holmes relax with some drinks and memories of 2011. As we get ourselves increasingly drunk on scotch and vodka, we reminisce about the hatred Capcom received this year, the "doom" of the Nintendo 3DS, the PlayStation Network outage and the already legendary Ocean Marketing kerfuffle. An alarming amount of time is devoted to the sexual harrassment of Jonathan, with lurid descriptions of impromptu holiday anal sex. We also chat about shrimp poop, a new TV show starring a man called Cool Christmas, and what we got for our yule gifts. All this and more, only on Podtoid!

On this week's episode of Podtoid, we are finally brave enough to say the things about Elton John that have needed to be said for a long time. We also talk about how Jonathan Holmes discovered pedophilia in the thirties, how to seduce Max Scoville, and make only the briefest of references of Christmas.  In terms of game discussion, we chat about Destructoid's game of the year, Portal 2, pick some upcoming favorites of 2012 and chat about the PlayStation Vita's chances of commercial success. All this and much, much more are yours to enjoy in Podtoid. 

On a fun-stuffed Podtoid, the gang (minus Tara) whines about whiners, discusses the pointlessness of the VGAs, and examines the potential of the PlayStation Vita. Elsewhere, Jonathan Holmes has to be told what Dungeon Keeper is, while Max Scoville receives a special book about men having baths with boys.  Not to mention, another installment of everybody's favorite advice-and-sexual-abuse segment, and way loads more. Hooray!

This week, the crew is joined by Destructoid News Editor Conrad Zimmerman to discuss Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, the North American release of Xenoblade Chronicles and maybe one other videogame thing. Naturally, we spend far more time talking about how crap Donnie Darko is and how much Jonathan Holmes resembles Voldemort, The Chameleon, and anything else that's bald or lacks facial features.  On top of all this, we see a new chapter of the weekly installment that I refuse to write in text, and talk about the moral ramifications of eating Santa Claus' dead body. Oh, that Podtoid!

On this week's edition of Podtoid, we chat about the latest bit of review drama, as well as return to yet more Skyrim chatter. There's also a rather nice little discussion on why the Wii would have been the very best HD console on the market, and why the games we typically think of as representing HD aren't doing a good job of it.  Don't worry though, it's not all game talk. We learn about psychotic countertransference in a terrible new segment, we find out that a guru is selling handwritten books alongside lotion, and we get sexy with cartoon bats. Also, poor Max Scoville is feeling quite sick, so wish him well! 

On this week's edition of Podtoid, the gang discusses 3D movies, the greatness of Rutger "The Rut" Hauer, and the difficulty Max would have if he was a woman. We also chat about Plague Dogs, attempt to impress Jon Stewart with satire, and get all political while talking about SOPA.  Elsewhere, Serious Sam 3: BFE becomes a topic of discussion while the state of platform games is a hot issue. Oh, and Jonathan Holmes may perform the most racist act Podtoid has ever seen ... which is pretty exceptional!

On this week's salty edition of Podtoid, we discuss the meaning of dreams, the nature of the Twilight series, and whether or not Max is in serious trouble for disturbing his neighbors while recording the show. We also get scientific with a deep study of Capgras syndrome and lament the disappointment of the "Year of Threes." Of course, it wouldn't be Podtoid without some Skyrim talk, and we dedicate plenty of time to Metal Gear Solid as well. All this and loads more shall be discussed!

Max Scoville is out this week, but we still have plenty to talk about, and most of it focused on videogames. We discuss the utterly pathetic "controversy" surrounding Destructoid's Modern Warfare 3 review, and chat in-depth about Skyward Sword, Skyrim and Super Mario 3D Land.  Of course, it wouldn't be Podtoid if we didn't veer off the subject, so enjoy us pitching a sequel to To Catch A Predator, listen as we chat about what a man from GamePro said on the Internet once, and ask the all-important question ... is Jim Sterling real?

On a particularly rambunctious episode of Podtoid, the gang discusses how nature documentaries exploit death to get rich, how to deal with rock stars marrying children, and how delicious Ant Honey can be secured at your local grocery store.  We also spend time discussing our early experiences with Skyrim review copies, detail where Skyward Sword is headed and criticize Nintendo again. As if that wasn't enough, we make fun of idiots who hate conflicting opinions and reveal the winners of our Aliens: Infestation contest!

On this week's episode of Podtoid, we get incredibly sassy, Max comes up with the perfect description of the Kirby series, and we introduce a brand new weekly segment called, "Is This Drug Alright?" Trust me when I say that this section is going to catch on like wildfire, and all the kids will love it.  Also, we are running a really cool contest in which five listeners can each win a copy of Aliens: Infestation and a badass framed lenticular image of a Xenomorph attacking a Marine. Listen to the show and learn how to win it, but make sure you do so by next Tuesday!

On this week's episode of Podtoid, we demand that Jonathan Holmes stop being so filthy, we solve the Eskimo crisis, we come up with better names for female impersonators and Max tells us about his comic book superhero, Mystery Woman. Elsewhere, heartwarming stories about dead animals and men who blame head injuries on women.  On the game front, much time is dedicated to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and there's a bit of Skyward Sword stuff in there too. You can hear the game discussion if you listen very carefully. 

On this week's show, an intrepid listener informs us that Tara Long is a hermaphrodite, Jonathan Holmes tattoos Internet shock pictures on his body, and Max and Jim talk about their inability to get diagnosed with mental problems. Meanwhile, solvent abuse and Whoopi Goldberg are made light of for your amusement.  As far as games go, we talk about The Darkness II and Aliens: Infestation, not to mention Mass Effect III's controversial online mode and X-Men: Destiny's complete crapness. All this and more on the latest Podtoid!

Podtoid is back on form with an episode full of offensive fun. This week, we discuss the "Camal" toe (whatever that is), what it would be like if Bob Geldof was an Android phone charger, and take a look at the filmography of that purveyor of fine movies, The Asylum. Also, we get into a deep, totally rational discussion about people who say "First World Problems" and think they are funny.  On the game front, we discuss RAGE's silly name, we beat on that old "Online Pass" drum, and we talk about some of the negative aspects on doing one of the best jobs in the world. All that and more will rock your ears!

Please forgive the audio quality on this episode, as we ran into a few problems that couldn't be solved in due time. Nevertheless, the gang did a valiant effort of answering as many listener questions as possible this week and ... failed. Miserably. Still, we answered a LOT, and that counts for something. On the show, we discuss Jonathan Holmes' fear of violent videogames, the merit of Japanese roleplaying games, and accidentally fall into a big political talk in which one of us may or may not have accidentally committed treason with our words. All this and a huge amount more are on this episode of Podtoid!

On this fun-stuffed episode of Podtoid, we chat to none other than Tommy Wiseau, famous for creating The Room and The House That Drips Blood On Alex. He's got a new videogame-themed series coming up, The Tommy Wi-Show, and we ask him all about it while he tells us about the positive aspects of gaming and listens to a special movie pitch.  Also on the show, we find out that Jonathan Holmes once looked after pigs in a hotel, we complain about Gears of War 3 and wonder what's up with the PlayStation Vita. Also, we read negative reviews that people have written and laugh, laugh, laugh. 

On this week's episode, Max takes a bath throughout the entire show while we discuss tormenting animals in the name of entertainment, reality TV's place as the new Victorian freak show, whether or not Jonathan Holmes has caught a fecal disease from his "special" friend, and the undeniable fact that Sophie's Choice isn't a sad story.  On the game front, we talk about Gears of War 3 (and the lack of a review copy), Kirby Mass Attack, and Nintendo's epic 3DS press conference. All this and much, much more on this week's intrepid trek through the shared mind of four gibbering simpletons.
