I know the Intro/Outro music is an overly discussed issue, but I can't help but check and see if you haven't decided to throw Lou Reed's "My Red Joysti[q]" in there. Maybe it's too obvious...

YESS!! i got my pic up there again. *repeated pelvic thrusts*

Justin, gotta say, I agree on the MK vs. DC not being as big of a disaster as some people think. It has potential. However, I will say I've always liked the MK character designs...
Hell, even did a strip about this game...

I was going to say "insert obligatory 'inconceivable'" but fine, you win.

That picture makes me throw up a little, but in terror and in pure jealousy. *I* wanna be Fezzik!

Was "red eye" pitch shifted at the end? it seems higher than it should be. It totally was. how much though?
Justin McElroy @ Apr 26th 2008 2:54AM
Yeah, good ear. The reasons why are boring but it was a little thing I forgot to do.
I'M SORRY.
Tim The Enchanter @ May 2nd 2008 11:31AM
Yeah, well it made him sound like a girl. Maybe your apologies should go to him, unless he'd like that, in which case, you should be his new producer.
(btw, love the song selection)

Silent Hill: Origins technically was a numbered sequel. The O in "Origins" was a zero. Not that I like it or anything. Silent Hill + Western Developer = fail. Look at the so called "horror" movies that come out of the west. Absolute trash.
Jacob @ Apr 25th 2008 5:07PM
Yaaaa, new pody! I totally went back and listened to all the podcasts in like the last month or 2, good stuff guys, keep up the good work.
markhill66 @ Apr 25th 2008 5:24PM
Yesss, love Fridays. Downloading it now.
Gwas @ Apr 25th 2008 5:25PM
hahahaha... Justin as Andre the Giant rules.
Baligouxji @ Apr 25th 2008 5:36PM
Yay, Pete & Pete reference! I really enjoyed how the show felt like a "super hero" show, where pete and pete would battle their arch enemies such as Endless Mike Hell storm, Open Face, and Pit stain in each episode.
Oh and... The guy who's the voice of Jansen in LO is really down to earth. He goes onto the LO forum on Gamefaqs a lot to talk to people. He seems like a really nice guy who ought to get some more roles in video games.

Best photoshop ever!

Awesome podcast guys! Just finished listening to it a bit ago during work! Passes the time wonderfully like always!
Thanks!
NukeAssault @ Apr 25th 2008 9:25PM
Never seen Pete and Pete? What is this? Who do you think you are? HUH*question mark*
Logic Bus @ Apr 27th 2008 6:25PM
Please stop with the listener voicemail/audio email. I have no problem with Chris, Ludwig, or Justin reading a text email during the show. But listeners always sound awkward and break up the flow.
Kyle @ Apr 27th 2008 7:05PM
They're talking about his weiner everybody!
Hilarious.
And Logic Bus, I couldn't agree more. I even sent them an audio email about it...
