On the game front, we discuss Konami's blacklisting of certain editors, Diablo III, Capcom's latest DLC shenanigans, and probably some other stuff. What a show!

09/05/2012 Duration: 02h16minOn this week's edition of Podtoid, the trio discuss holiday activities inspired by Hellraiser, Willem Dafoe's cure for cancer, and the truly annoying thing about gay bestiality websites. If that doesn't sound like the best videogame-themed podcast ever, then you're probably a nice person with a kind heart. Plenty of game discussion is to be had, however. We talk about the fiscal results for Capcom and Electronic Arts, the joys of Dead Space, and the shared hype for an upcoming Adventure Time title. Also, which Pokemon caused Hamza to have boyhood fantasies? Listen and find out!

It's not a very pleasant episode, really. We also discuss Sony's potential all-stars battle royale, make fun of Pikmin 2 on the Wii, and ponder whether this is the worst period in gaming's relatively short history. All that and more on Podtoid! Oh, and we really don't know what's up with Jonathan's bloody microphone levels.

Also, we devise what may be Willem Dafoe's greatest movie role yet. He'd love it, for sure! As far as the old games go, there are vague allusions to Aliens: Colonial Marines, Jim challenges Konami to let him direct a new Silent Hill, and a compromise is reached on that whole Mass Effect 3 thing. Also, why the flippin' heck does Jonathan not like Journey? Find out on Podtoid!

Podtoid 194: Dick Pixels (with Danny Baranowsky)
21/03/2012 Duration: 02h26minThis week, the derptastic duo is joined by none other than videogame music man Danny Baranowsky. We discuss his work on Hunger Games, the controversy surrounding The Binding of Isaac, and Danny's history as a composer. It also turns out that this tunesmith is more than capable of getting involved with Podtoid's less ... savory ... discussions. From atheism to Bill Cosby to sexual deviance and drug intake, there's plenty of ridiculous chatter on offer. It's pretty good stuff, even if Danny is certain his family can never, ever, hear this recording.

Podtoid 193: Transgenderistism
14/03/2012 Duration: 02h16minThis week, the dynamic duo work out a brand new reality show in which Rutger Hauer fights social injustice, and Little Shop of Horrors gets a long overdue behind-the-scenes dissection.

Podtoid 191: Beef Tips On Your Face
29/02/2012 Duration: 01h38minOn this week's episode of Podtoid, Jim Sterling promotes himself to the position of Jonathan Holmes' personal social worker, we learn the terror of chugging Monster Energy and coffee on an empty stomach, and we chat a little bit about transgenderism. You know, the usual things that a videogame podcast should talk about. Oh, and beef tips. On a commemorative plate. Games come up a bit, with chatter about the PlayStation Vita, our perfect Adventure Time game, and ... uh, there was something else. You know how it goes.

Podtoid 190: Cerebral Pal-Z
22/02/2012 Duration: 01h57minYes, the rumors are true. Max Scoville is off to fight in the great war and send Jerry running for the hills. It's going to be his last show for some time, but he definitely saved his best joke for this special little episode. Elsewhere, we chat about bigotry, parenthood, the cultural significance of Ratt and whether or not Juggalos poop in their trousers. Also, the decadent Lust Gurney fops make their grand return for one convoluted, awkward appearance. Somewhere we mention videogames. I think we bring up Asura's Wrath and Seaman on the 3DS. Maybe something else, but who cares? Max is dead you idiot!

Podtoid Special: Used Games with David Jaffe
17/02/2012 Duration: 01h35minOn a special bonus episode of Podtoid, Eat Sleep Play co-founder and Twisted Metal co-director David Jaffe chats with Jim Sterling on the issue of used games, online passes, and the strained relationship between publishers and consumers. Are gamers being treated like thieves? Is GameStop a villain? Will all this be rendered moot when digital distribution takes hold? It's a fascinating discussion that provides a lot to think about for all concerned. If you care about videogame consumer issues, this is a podcast you'd do well to listen to! Thanks to David Jaffe for spending time chatting about the issue, and helping to make a very insightful, interesting podcast.

Podtoid 188: The Cat Pimp of Baltimore
10/02/2012 Duration: 02h01minOn this week's Podtoid, special sports person Samit Sarkar joins the usual crew for another carnival of stupid garbage. Why is Jonathan Holmes wearing a blanket of cats and why is he suddenly so rich? Is Max Scoville paying his child support? How many Ron Pauls does it take to change a lightbulb? Every single one of those questions is answered this week. As far as games go, we chat about Double Fine's Kickstarter plan (and present a special Kickstarter deal of our own), some people played with a PS Vita at a preview showing, and there's some boring Mass Effect talk that ruins everybody's day. All this and more on Podtoid!

We also devote much time to describing anal sex with mothers, and read out some hate mail from a fellow who doesn't like us making fun of men's rights activists. On the game front, we chat about Mega Man's inclusion in Street Fighter x Tekken, the problem with competitive gaming, and Kingdoms of Amalur's power fantasy chicanery. All this and too much more, only on Podtoid!
