Joystiq Podcast 064 - Energon edition

by Justin McElroy { Sep 5th 2008 at 2:50PM }

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!)

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.

Zertoss @ Sep 5th 2008 3:33PM

Long cast is long?

A LONG CAST IS FINE TOO?

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

wesley johnson @ Sep 6th 2008 1:40PM

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

j.howlett @ Sep 6th 2008 10:22PM

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
