Wow we finally get to see the trio in one picture. Is this Your first published photo of yourself in Joystiq Justin?

PS this is the part where you pull a Roger Daltry (sp?) with your podcast mic and sing pinball wizard.

so looks like you guys managed to civilize ludwig.
not walkin round with that loincloth no more

You three look like gentlemen and scholars of the finest pedigree.

Too cute guys...I think you found an alternate itunes album image.

It's divesting themselves not divulging themselves.

Awesome picture (and podcast of course)!

I had no idea that Justin knew how to sip tea like a gentleman. You mean it's NOT all pretzels and Game Fuel for him?

Ludwig looks like Pee-Wee in his playhouse getting devoured by Chairy the chair.

I'm pretty sure that means Justin is Captain Carl and Chris is Cowboy Curtis.

Pinky UP, Justin! UP!

Water is for quitters

Funny story: Those were just random glasses we picked up around the fire. No ideas whose drinks those were.

I hope you know, you guys could get aids that way. Happened to a friend of mine. It was either that, or banging that homeless lady what did it. Either way, he now lives in fear of the common cold. Funny stuff, coming over, fake sneezing or coughing around him.... he retreats to his panic room...

Oh, so now you're stealing.

GET OFF THE FLOOR MCELROY! GOD DAMN!

WHO'S WHO????

Ludwig the blonk, Justin the grounded and Chris the charming ( from left to right). I dont know whose leg that is on the left. I am a fan but not yet at the level of knowing all footware.

Who's Leggy McLegs on the left?

There isn't a torso, that's just some legs hanging around GDC.

Justin. On the floor like he's the dog of the crew. I'm sure he's used to it anyways.

Who's that dashing James Bond-esque figure stealing the whole picture?

Ryu and Ken's spinning kick is called Tetsumaki Senpu Kyaku. They never say that though, except in the god awful "Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game."

As a point of reference, left to right we have Ross' legs, Luddy, Justin and Christopher.

You mean Prince Ludwig heir to the throne of Chuck Norris, right?

Might you be his jester Mr. McElroy?

ALL HAIL HIS MAJESTY!!!

I am tired of people putting down Justin. He is f'n great. Just cause you love Ludwig, it doesnt mean you dont have more love to spread around.

Although I must admit to a few moments of pleasure from the rivalry. It makes for great internet.

Every attack auto targets the other player's genitals.

good podcast guy
wow ya look nuthin like i thought ya would lol

I've seen chris in that news piece, and mcelroy is exactly what I'd expect, but ludwig was a bit of a shocker. I still find it hard to put the voices to those pictures. How about having Veronica interview you guys.

Pfft. At least they're all wearing pants this time.

What the hell!?! All this time I thought Ludwig was black!

Same here, I could have sworn ...

He's an Afrikaner: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afrikaners

heh, i figured that out before i saw a picture, what with the very Dutch name and all

lol fail

Ahh, you should never see what the people you listen too actually look like.

let the photoshop madness begin!!

Awesome, Hilarious podcast guys, keep up the good work!

i had always imagined justin with tick tacks spilling out of his mouth. maybe thats what the cup is for?

this picture and knowing what you guys look like (minus chris the celebrity), is a total mindfuck by the way. thanks. (brush with fame?)

Very weird to see you guys - well at least it won't be disembodied voices anymore

No, we'll return these meat shells to their respective owners before next week's show.

Loved the podcast, as always. You guys are the best!

Justin looks like a cheeky 11 year old boy, the butt of all the jokes and the member of the gang whose most likely to bring comic relief to tense situations by getting his head stuck in a cookie jar while Chris and Ludwig fight a dinosaur.
Chris looks like a bizaare hybrid of a 50 year old accountant and a teenage student. Although the tallest he wears glasses, making him the egghead of the group.
Ludwig looks like a minituare action movie star, his chiselled features shrunk to pocketsize. He is the leader of the group, inevitably putting Chris' plans into action and tackling obstacles such as the aforementioned dinosaurs and high shelves. All while saving Justin.

I have just realised:
This is a perfect allegory for the podcast.

That Ludwig is one sexy bastard. Almost makes me reconsider my allegiances, but..... no. That would be too much. There are two McElroy's after all. Hey, what's Griffin look like?

RobLink: Nice avatar.

Rest of the internet: Consider the bar raised.

NEVAR!!!

This GDC podcast got way more replies than the last two. It's true, sex sells!

Ok, Joystiq listeners, whom of the three do you look like most?

I look kinda like Chris, feel kinda like Justin and want to be kinda like Ludwig.

I think (BY THIS PICTURE ALONE) I look most like Ross.

Needs more latino. lol
To answer the question, I would say Lugwig because he is skinny but he also looks metro so I'd have to go with Ross too.

A word to the wise: Those who say they "look like Ross" probably also look like one of the following:

a) Gordon Freeman
b) Adam Savage (Mythbusters)
c) "That guy from Weezer" (Rivers Cuomo)

I would be Justin, except Justin would have to be wearing glasses.

Ludwig is going to need to put on some muscle if he's going to fend off those hungry, internet eating lions.

Also, Justin's not allowed to drink from that cup unless he has a monocle and a top hat.
