Joystiq Podcast 066 - Tang edition

by Justin McElroy { Sep 19th 2008 at 4:05PM }

Here's a warning: About an hour in, this podcast just becomes utter madness, so if you want to skip over it (or straight to it), there's your heads-up. Before it happens, however, we talk Warhammer Online, Feist and Force Unleashed, so you'll want to be there for that.

Thanks (again) to Michael Mayne of the JPAG ,for keeping us supplied with photochops, and to videogame voice acting superstar David Sobolov for the intro.

Justin McElroy @ Sep 19th 2008 5:43PM

How is he? Tender? I always thought he'd be tender.

theturtle363 @ Sep 19th 2008 10:48PM

i dont really know ive never really cooked myself. If you mean sexually, I haven't ever had to cuddle and calm myself

Jim Halpert DM @ Sep 19th 2008 4:15PM

Not the tang I was expecting when I clicked this post.....

Marek Hryc @ Sep 19th 2008 4:29PM

Tang? As in the orange juice? It's downloading right now so I haven't heard it yet. Also, since it's 4:30 I doubt I'll be able to listen to all of it here at work, which is where I do all my podcast listening.

Funny side note - Everytime I play Pump it up on Rockband 2 I can't get the image of Justin singing out of my head.
Not entirely a bad thing, tho.

Marek Hryc @ Sep 19th 2008 4:32PM

Also.
Hey - Kirby is interesting, just not his new game. (Which is a rehash).

Donald @ Sep 20th 2008 1:59PM

A rehash of one of the greatest platformers ever?

Surely you jest.

syrik zero @ Sep 21st 2008 1:51PM

I haven't listened yet for that same reason... I'll listen to it on Monday though =)

Also, may GFW Podcast rest in peace...

Marek Hryc @ Sep 21st 2008 10:05PM

Donald, I'm not saying it's a bad game,in fact Kirby Superstar Deluxe is my favourtie Kirby game, and I have the 1st stage theme (from the Gameboy) as a ringone. I'm just saying slapping "Ultra" at the end doesn't make it a new game.

fifth!

theturtle363 @ Sep 19th 2008 4:34PM

Shadows of the Empire IS canon

MKA @ Sep 19th 2008 4:50PM

Thank you Tim Shaffer for the link to that...

Wow, those are creepy.

Haggard (Free Mr.ESC!) @ Sep 19th 2008 6:02PM

My nightmares now have a face.

Jarret @ Sep 19th 2008 5:55PM

YESSSSS!

chris @ Sep 19th 2008 5:58PM

Chris, the only Apple computers that could reasonably run Warhammer online are the desktops that cost over $2000. That is SUCH a small percentage of people who want to play warhammer it's probably a waste of time to have a mac version.

Christopher Grant @ Sep 22nd 2008 8:07PM

Not sure what desktops you're referring to, but plenty of people on the nets are running it fine on the latest iMacs.

juju187 @ Sep 19th 2008 6:10PM

sonic has gained weight, must be home sick...

Pedobear @ Sep 19th 2008 6:57PM

Damn whats with my internet today? Cruising at download speeds of 19,000KBp/s

TheUnknownComicFan @ Sep 19th 2008 7:38PM

Maybe the CGW podcast should hire Justin, Luddy and the other guy.... Make a hell of a show.

Mayne @ Sep 19th 2008 9:36PM

Some things get worse when one has been drinking: driving, convincing the girl of your dreams that your dreams consist of more than carnal fantasies, playing Halo...

Some things get even better: playing Halo, coming up with what to say to the girl of your dreams, and the Joystiq podcast... I haven't laughed this hard since... well, last week...
