Courtney @ Sep 26th 2008 4:37PM
That is one of the creepier photoshops done so far.
DangerMouse @ Sep 26th 2008 4:40PM
Hahaha, that image is so much win.
Mr Khan @ Sep 26th 2008 4:41PM

CJLopez @ Sep 26th 2008 4:49PM

Been ages since I saw Krang!!!!
Oh, the memories

I am filled with happiness, the weekend is finally here, thanks to the fine gentlemen of Joystiq.
J @ Sep 26th 2008 4:50PM
I haz a happy, and it be the Joystiq podcast.

Instead of visually three guys at their computers on Skype when I listen to the podcast, I will forever use this image instead.
I haven't yet figured out what to think when Justin leaves to go to the bathroom, for instance.
j.howlett @ Sep 26th 2008 5:00PM
who's who?
RobLink (Alex Kidd incarnate) @ Sep 26th 2008 6:46PM
Chris is Shredder, Justin is Krang's 'brain', and Ludwig is Krang's body. This picture is just how I imagined them before I knew what they really look like.
j.howlett @ Sep 26th 2008 6:53PM
okay thanks. i don't want to join facebook, is there another way to see the tang pic?
RobLink (Alex Kidd incarnate) @ Sep 26th 2008 9:30PM
Not that I know of, unless it gets chosen as a podcast pic. It's worth joining Facebook for that picture alone, but we have a great community building over there. You should give it a go. And I can guarantee that the FBI hold no interest in us.
Is it suspect that I brought that up without being prompted?
j.howlett @ Sep 26th 2008 10:57PM
the feds already have access, i'm ducking spyware that'll track where i go and try to sell me shit and display it for others. there are other reasons why i won't join, even for the tang pic.
j.howlett @ Sep 26th 2008 5:22PM
i've been hearing people talk about LBP like chris did and that's why i'm confident it will be good no matter what the dangle berries say
Slim Pickinz96 @ Sep 26th 2008 5:25PM
LOL!
Tez (PSN: Tezasaurus) @ Sep 26th 2008 5:29PM
Best one yet. That picture is made of pure distilled win.

Jack Thompson doing PR for BGE2:
"Everyone should buy this game, because it's non-violent, non-sexist, and everyone making every other game is a gay rapist. Here are some pictures of dicks to prove it."
Levi @ Sep 26th 2008 5:42PM
Best podcast photoshop yet!
Negativecool @ Sep 26th 2008 5:54PM
F*** all the haters man, that is by far the most epic hilarious podcast photoshop and title, EVA!!
Kudos!
Kilo720 @ Sep 26th 2008 5:55PM
wtf is that yellow man wit a brain in his stomach
lmao
RobLink (Alex Kidd incarnate) @ Sep 26th 2008 6:45PM
Krang. TMNT much when you were younger? Or are you younger now?
Esat Dedezade @ Sep 26th 2008 5:57PM
I forgot how uselessly short those hench arms were!

cowabunga dude
now where's that peanut butter & marshmallow pizza...
theturtle363 @ Sep 26th 2008 6:20PM
I gotta ask it here since i cant wait another week for another podcast to send an email. Have you guys heard anything else about a Dark Knight game? Kotaku reported awhile ago that it was canceled for missing deadlines. I dont believe it cause the DVD is aiming for a December release, so a time in with that is perfect
Yourself @ Sep 26th 2008 6:22PM
Man, I don't listen to the Podcast often, but this was bloody hilarious. I was almost in tears with "Earthasaur."
theturtle363 @ Sep 26th 2008 6:28PM
the best part was "i just have a really big penis"
theturtle363 @ Sep 26th 2008 6:27PM
on the subject of game ideas every gamer has, I've always had a dream of making a wild west game called Lawman. In it you'd play as a sheriff for some frontier town, when a huge gang of bandits descend upon it and ransack the whole place, killing hundreds and holding more for hostage. You'd awaken after the attack miles away, maybe in someplace like Dodge City, and start your quest for revenge. As you tracked down the name and location of the bandit king ,you'd travel from Kansas to California, collecting bounties and dispatching old fashioned justice in a massive openworld area that would play similarly to a hybrid of Mercenaries and GUN.
RobLink (Alex Kidd incarnate) @ Sep 26th 2008 6:51PM
Sounds pretty sweet. I've always had a hankering for a really decent Jurassic Park game, and listening to the latest 1up Yours, I think they found it. The idea and production values of Afrika, but on an island and with dinosaurs. I would buy that in a second.
theturtle363 @ Sep 26th 2008 9:09PM
the other great idea i have is basically Star Wars + Mercenaries. You'd play as Captain Fordo, the ARC Trooper from the cartoons awhile ago, or maybe a NULL ARC to get around some of the faction dealing. Basically you'd be sent in two several different planets to capture or kill Separatist leaders, to do so you'd make deals and work with factions on the planet, hutts, pirates, native governments etc. Youd have a huge arsenal from DC-15 rifles the Z-6 rotary cannons and LAAT gunships. The gameplay would be a lot like Mercenaries, large open worlds with lots of destruction and vehicles, but then there'd be other stuff similar to the Bounty Hunter game like scanning for random criminals wanted by the republic
RobLink (Alex Kidd incarnate) @ Sep 26th 2008 9:27PM
I've got to be honest, I relly enjoyed Force Unleashed. I geek out over most anything that's Star Wars, so an open world game where you don't have a very linear, glorified tunnel of a level would really appeal to me.

Good God, that Photoshop is effing terrible. Please remove it from all internets.
theturtle363 @ Sep 27th 2008 12:07PM

Alex McKee @ Sep 27th 2008 5:20PM
Ok the "kill yourself" that you meant to type was offensive, but "kill yourelf" is just frikkin hilarious. I mean, that's a night elf in the profile pic, right?

DaMan09 @ Sep 27th 2008 5:49PM
DAMN, that song at the end of the podcast is catchy. Nice Job!
FakePlasticBall @ Sep 27th 2008 8:22PM
Where is the "Joystiq POYODCAST! YEE-HAW"? I heard this bumper two episodes and have yet to hear it repeated. It was a mazing a deserves to be heard more than once... plaese gentlemen pu tit back in
Derek @ Sep 27th 2008 11:49PM
Man... I'm thinkin Justin was kinda hurt by the ol pretzel flip comment. Kind of like when you're wrestling your best friend as a kid, and one guy goes to far and you kind of fight for a little bit for real? But wait, it's gotta be your bull... Ok, i should stop.
harold @ Sep 28th 2008 1:26PM
Why can't I get the podcast from the Zencast ?
Teddings @ Sep 28th 2008 5:41PM
Zencast lol.
MKA @ Sep 29th 2008 1:34PM
Wow, brush with fame, I don't know what to say. I dont have a speech ready. I would like to thank Double Fine and Tim Schafer for providing me with the opportunity to freak out my co-workers and friends with Manbaby. And of course the little people...
But I would like to immediately retract my thanks to Double Fine for not even giving me a call back on my job application for a job that sat open for 6 months... You crushed my dreams Tim Schafer! I will never play another one of your games again.... Ok that's a lie. I love you don't be mad at me....

Are you kidding me, the PS3 could never hope to defeat Chuck Norris. Perhaps you are not up on your Chuck Norris facts. Let me help you with that by posting this link.

Chuck Norris has nothing on Kidney Beans. And I'm not talking about the tiny ones we all buy at the grocery store but the large sentient beans that live in the large oak tree in my back yard. They always are peeking in my window while I enjoy some Tang...
