Joystiq Podcast 064 - Energon edition

In this week's Allspark-powered show, we say hello to Boston PAX and 360 price cuts, goodbye to Jeff Green and "we'll probably never, ever see you" to the Buffy MMO. Also, somebody's going to win a copy of Castle Crashers, and if you don't listen, you'll never know that it's not you.

Thanks to Danny Lujan of the JPAG for crunchy, reduced sodium photochopping greatness. (As an aside, we're running low on photochops, so join the group and fill the reserves!)

DON'T REMIND OF ME JEFF GREEN YOU HORRIBLE PEOPLE!

I love these long 'casts. They make my day fly by.
Now off to listening!

1:39:08?

It is in quantum superstate. It may collapse to win or fail.

Though given that the Ziff Davis recording studio got flooded out, they'll beat 1Up Yours again this week.

Long cast is long?

A LONG CAST IS FINE TOO?

Here's a joke for you:

What would the cowardly lion say to his mom if he got cheetos in his hair?

Bru..Bru..Bru..BRUSH MY MANE!!!

Are those Burger King chips? Never heard of them...

Do it ludwig! Get a lasercomb!

You guys always talk about playing with us, but where does anyone find your guys' gamertags?

They're a secret.....

Also, listen to last week's (maybe the week before), where Justin reveals his.

IF IT'S A SECRET HOW DO YOU KNOW!!?!??!

It was in the Podcast haha

*hint* J-Dawg's starts with a "L" Holmes

Yeah ok, I'll get right on those Photoshops...

yay!

i'll get to work on some photoshops this weekend!

I'm a he, btw, Joystiq. Count Crunkula OUT!

What's the over/under for number of random noises in this edition?

I heard like some sort of clicking pen/cordless drill thing

I hear what sounds like someone fiddling with a sharpie cap.

ketchup fries? in my vending machine?

YES THEY KINDA RAPPED IN THE BEGINING!

i'm way late and wouldn't by such a small bag of chips for a dollar but love the image

Universe without shrimp FTW! @ 43:10
This explains why Ludwig is so puntastic all the time, he's a Buffy fan!

Only a matter of time until Bratner asks Madden Football for the movie rights.

IN A WORLD, WHERE FOOTBALL IS A GAME YOU CAN PLAY ...

*insert obligatory pouring out of a .40 for Don LaFontaine here*

The name Insulinfunk is derived from a website I started a few years back about my career as a diabetic rapper. I had fake interviews, pre-Photoshop edits using paint, and other general nonsenses. Some friends and I actually attempted to do a few songs but never finished.

A couple years ago I found out that there is actually a rapper called The Funky Diabetic that has worked with A Tribe Called Quest. He had to have ripped me off ... no other idiot would link diabetes and hip hop.

And, yes, I am diabetic.

Wesley Jpag Johnson.

just want to stick up for anthony anderson. the movie wasn't the best all the way through i really enjoy most of it. double a cracks me up, go watch me myself and irene. he was one of the foul mouthed brainiac sons. the alien language was just encrypted code they got from american gov't computers so reading that part should have been easy

now i want to say i liked money talks and all the rush hour movies. x3 was ok and yeah it was stupid to kill prof. x but they seem to always do dumb things with comic book properties. they kept killing the villains in the batman movies, superman keeps switching time periods and once race. batman was turned old and weak because the guy writer was jealous of his youth, hey richard pryor was a computer hacker in superman then they copied that in office space. some of these ideas work out sometimes and there are times they don't. sometimes you just accept that maybe your the only guy in the room who knows nightcrawler and mystique are mother and son and your friends getting high think it would be cool if the 2 blue mutants hooked up and you just tell them to go look up oedipus rex

My draft board for the video game fantasy draft:

1) Valve (publisher/developer)
2) Final Fantasy (franchise)
3) Pokemon (franchise)
4) EA (publisher)
5) Nintendo (publisher/manufacturer)

Thanks for putting the email liner in!

RIP Barry White

Hooray for the email liner. RIP Barry White.

the intro to this episode was so high energy i was really excited for it. then you started talking.
