Joystiq Podcast 061 - Back to the '70s edition

I totally agree with Justin's sentiments on curse words. He should watch the episode on curse words from the TV series Bullshit.

Justin's "impression" of Chris = classic.
"I can't wait to play that game from 30 years ago. I can't wait till it's out on the system I paid $400 for."

"Galaga, huh?"

I do love me some Galagas.

You know, BCR has a tutorial, kids.

Great show as usual, especially the potato baron bit.

Brush with fame try 3



As i ponder my previous attempts to get a brush I realize that I'm missing one thing. Stupidity. Why not allow a well formed sentence/paragraph receive a brush? I'll tell you my friend because I'm not a post whore. I post when I feel it necessary. I only grace the best of posts. SO I come today to get my brush with stupidity, not my own mind you but a story.



Gather round ye children.

I was at the mall with my friends actually make that friend as one I only know in passing however my friend is quite jolly with him. Moving on I got to talking with them and we discussed consoles (both of them being a 360 fanboy while I am a PS3 fanboy). They decided to say that Gears of War 2 was going to not only outsell GTA4 but DOUBLE its sales. I proceeded to listen to how they could believe it could outsell one of the fastest selling games ever. They then very intelligently explained to me its because "you can blow people up. No one even plays GTA. It doesn’t have any sales." In my stupor I asked about MGS4 and what they thought about the PS3 exclusive. they went on to say that "you can play that on 360. It has better graphics on the 360 too". After realizing that the fandom of the people I was talking to was lacking I decided to ask about the RRoD situation. They proceeded to tell me that both of them were on their 3rd 360 and that people on their friends list were approaching the double digits. When asked how they could turn this towards a microsoftistic *Term now coined my Steven Ficken* they told me that "it was nothing. A RRoDed 360 is better than a PS3".



After all this I realized that that all 360 fanboys (xbots) can give sony/nintendo a pat on the back. That whole Wii thing..... thats nothing 360 is teh bestest console EVAR.



I swear If I wrote all that and don’t receive a brush I'm done being intelligent and will just write: Good job guys. Before listening to the podcast.



Bringing something to the table since 1991

Hey...dude...I got a...BRUSHED WITH FAME!

And, yes, I Veko (Justin said it wrong, it rhymes with echo, not Sneako) am Chris Miller of the JPAG Podcast. The next episode of that said podcast will be soon seen by the eyes of all of you. Except, I when I say seen I mean heard and when I say eyes I mean ears. But, yeah.

Thanks for the Brush with Fame, guys.

My Dear Justin, there are four lights. THERE... ARE... FOUR... LIGHTS! You really do need to check your research before you try to Trek out. I sense Dustin Burg would not have gotten that wrong.

Hey cool cats and kittens, long time listener first time commenter here

Just wanted to say I'm a bit late to the party, but I actually found Blueberry muffin tops, de-lic-ious!

I love how Chris berates the audience for not spending $15 on Braid, and then says that he is saving his MS points cause he got them at a discount... Looks like he didn't want to pay $15 for Braid either.

What up with the P90 acogs boy they sure do suxorz?

BACK UP THE TRUCK UP, DID YOU JUST SAY HUMMUS?

I bought this hummus last weekend at Costco ("3 for $12, gud deel, my fren"), spicy red pepper and a box of pita chips.

MOAR!

Please PLEASE stop turning your damn mics of midway through the 'cast, or find a more elegant means of doing so. Every time I hear that telltale "poc!" of a mic switch I know that someone's abusing a spouse, or coughing, or whatever.

Stop it, or I'll demand a refund on my subscription. Srs.

You guess do it for me. Justin, if you're going to PAX, I owe you a drink!

It seems that since BwF has returned, the podcast posts are getting more comments....
