Joystiq Podcast 054 - World exclusive edition

Well, Chris is out gallivanting across the country again, and (surprising no one) he's not allowed to talk about what he's doing. But we still find plenty to talk about, like secret 360 leaks, Joystiq apologies, favorite breakfast cereals and Metal Gear Solid 4. It makes sense in context, promise.

This week, we also have to thank the JPAG's Markus Wilson for capturing us at work on our mid-Atlantic oil tanker.

Did Justin ruin the podcast? LET'S FIND OUT!
/squeals like a school girl

PS. I feel a little like Sam Becket right now...

Hah, that picture is awesome; who's who, by the way?

Justin, Ludwig, Chris (from left to right)

Sucks to be you, buddy. This is MY HOUSE! The JPAG got the 'cast 30 mins early. And I'm saying that for one purpose: to piss you off.

You couldn't have it 30 mins, anyway CTC XBL-supapaypamawio PSN-ctclaw. Because you aren't invited. And you have a stupid face.

I hope joystiq see's how immature this guy representing their podcast is. I'm not the only one that hasn't joined because of the immature comments, I would assume that is why my comment was voted up last week. Good for you, you got the podcast 30 minutes early. I'm sure if I really wanted the podcast I could join the group and you would never know. That does me no good though because I am just fine getting my podcasts all at once every week.

And I'm sorry to inform you, but your efforts to piss me off failed miserably.

Find yourself a sense of humour, bud. I'm going to leave it at that.

real mature there James, are you going to call him a big poopy head and kick him in the shins next?

Try a little harder to be funny, bud. I'm going to leave it at that.

People posting HERE are complaining about immature comments on the FACEBOOK GROUP? Really now? The facebook group may be a little silly but it's nowhere near the cesspool of hatred and fanboyishness that the comments section here is.

So no more now you're a songwriter right? Not that the submissions weren't clever and all, but that stuff gave me douche chills. I bet you guys had some rough ones to get through...

Mid-Atlantic oil tanker? Isn't that fields of green in the background? Land lubber, I think you're on land.

Mid-Atlantic City.

Lots of oil there.

Nice to see you boys are helping to alleviate the energy crisis (in the world and in most podcasts).

i've looked for oil in Atlantic City before, and throughout my whole life i've only ever found evidence in parking lots and garages in stain form.

The tanker is "mysterious". To stay that way, its appearance or location cannot be disclosed or hinted at.

This podcast was a gusher!

well as i put in the caption of the original picture. i claim them to be drilling for the great untapped resource of pretzel flipz lying unclaimed in south africa.

Let's help Justin get free samples!

MALT-O-MEAL REPRESENT!

there's a whole ocean of pretzel flips under our feet.

wesley, you avatar wins.

Justin's the man! Pulling on that rig handle with one hand, while Ludwig and Chris are using both of theirs to pull on the other.

Take note, ladies!

Chris and Ludwig are too happy to see the Pretzel Flips to notice Justin isn't using both hands. Judging by the look on Justin's face he's using the free hand to steal the bag as soon as he has a chance.

I DRINK YOUR PRETZEL FLIPZ!

His other arm is wrapped lovingly aroung Ludwig.

the J Walter Weatherman reference was priceless

Why do I love Ludwig? Because everything he said about MGS4 is absolutely 100% dead on! Ludwig's probably my fave South African in the world. ;)

Btw, I didn't know about the DS3/SIXAXIS in-joke but I think I know which part you were talking about. :D

Podcast is getting good again. The few before this one were a snooooooze-fest. Even the anniversary podcast was just plain bad except for the opening song. Glad to hear you guys hitting your stride again. See you next week.
