Ha ha, yuck it up. It's episode 21, and if our podcast was a human being, it could drink. But it's not. It's a podcast. And so it will does what it always does: Provide perfectly sober entertainment. We've got more Capcom, more emails and, much to everyone's delight, less singing.

MGD? Someone doesn't love their kids. :\
Rubang B (NDF - Heart) @ Oct 19th 2007 1:02PM
Less singing? I think I'll pass.

Ah, nothing is funnier than fetal alcohol syndrome.
LySop @ Oct 19th 2007 3:28PM
The thing about Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is that it afflicts fetuses, i.e. mom drinking while she's preggy. Hint: It's in the name. That picture is just good ol' fashion under-age drinking (really under-age).
The difference is: the fetus has no choice, these two are obviously choosing their path of unemployment, liver problems, failed relationships, etc.

Wow, you're right. I never would have gotten that. Thank you. This information has changed my life.
HineyWipe @ Oct 19th 2007 1:14PM
That. Is. too. funny. Thank you! (drinking buddies met at an early age...)

I really hope that kid on the right becomes President...
Btw, love the Podcast, long time reader who just started listening. Keep it up.
THERE'S MY STEED! (I too spent hours giggling at Duck Amuck)

It's 18 here, sucks to be a septic kid!
Shagittarius @ Oct 19th 2007 1:26PM
I'm sorry you suck at fighting games Justin, obviously the only reason you prefer the dumbed down fighters like Powerstone and Smash Brothers.

I guess some people enjoy fun gameplay over memorizing obscure and unrealistic button combos.
Vegnagun @ Oct 19th 2007 5:36PM
Yeah Shagi it's way more fun playing a game like guilty gear where when one person learns a cheap button combo they spam it and win. Down, Down, Circle is ftw.
Who are you kidding? SSB is fun as hell.
Shagittarius @ Oct 19th 2007 1:37PM
Brutal Legend = God of Gwar
Christopher Grant @ Oct 19th 2007 4:31PM
Hahaha!
James Lockwood @ Oct 19th 2007 1:49PM
No messing - Justins singing was awesome. And coming from someone that doesn't say awesome a lot - that's a real compliment, guys. I petition for Justin to sing one song each month.
Also, fire Justin McElroy!

GET OUT OF MY HEAD!
(Note: Haven't listened yet)

"Ay BAY BAY"
willie @ Oct 19th 2007 8:14PM
WTF?
Where's Red Eye??
That song is great!
Justin McElroy @ Oct 20th 2007 2:26PM
I know Willie, I like it too.
Curtis @ Oct 19th 2007 8:40PM
Guys, it’s brutally obvious that the album art for the podcast needs to be Daffy Duck riding a boner. What says “Joystiq” better? It works on so many levels.
EMaster @ Oct 20th 2007 5:14PM
I would like to thank the Academy and All Members of the Podcast for this special award.... *weeps* this is the happiest day of my life!!
*hits the "wrap it up" machine from Chappelle show.
lol thanks. Justing, can u sing Pinball Wizard next time?
EMaster @ Oct 20th 2007 5:14PM
oops I mean Justin
Myke @ Oct 21st 2007 1:34AM
I propose that justin sings "Still Alive", by GLadOS.
Rob @ Oct 21st 2007 1:19PM
UK itunes only has two reviews. And one of them's mine (HINT: the higher score). Someone should get on that.
BTW, excellent podcast, keep it up. Never EVER fire Justin McElroy!

So my theory about the lack of people playing the Wii goes directly to the online play. You mentioned how quickly we consume the games when they are released. Well once i've finished the campaign of Metroid what do i do? go around looking for the history on the different worlds? I'll pass. I bought Mario Strikers for the online play and after seeing the friend codes i haven't played since. I just want a game to load up my address book and make those people my friends. Give me alerts when they log on and let me play them in games we have. Dear god i hope Nintendo gets it some day.
