Joystiq Podcast 067 - Man crush edition

by Justin McElroy on Sep 26th 2008 4:30PM

While there's definitely some discussion of man crushes, we wouldn't want you to think that's the only thing going on here -- far from it! We're also talking LittleBigPlanet, Mega Man 9, Wipeout HD and Beyond Good and Evil, of all things.

Plus, Ludwig seduces a lady with just his accent and the words of Smoove B. It's magical. Oh, and welcome Ste Birks of the JPAG to the hyper-creepy photoshop club.

WHAT
THE
FUCK

That is one of the creepier photoshops done so far.

Hahaha, that image is so much win.

lol, Krang

"Yarrr, that will replace the whale in my nightmares"

Damn!!!!!!

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.

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.

who's who?

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.

okay thanks. i don't want to join facebook, is there another way to see the tang pic?

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?

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.

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

LOL!

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."

Best podcast photoshop yet!

F*** all the haters man, that is by far the most epic hilarious podcast photoshop and title, EVA!!

Kudos!

wtf is that yellow man wit a brain in his stomach
lmao

Krang. TMNT much when you were younger? Or are you younger now?

I forgot how uselessly short those hench arms were!

cowabunga dude

now where's that peanut butter & marshmallow pizza...

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

Man, I don't listen to the Podcast often, but this was bloody hilarious. I was almost in tears with "Earthasaur."

the best part was "i just have a really big penis"

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.

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.

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

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.

I'm in awe.

LMAO

Great podcast and great photoshop!

Freaking funny and awesome!

To borrow a quote from Yathzee:

"Will I be able to unsee that 'shop? In short, no. In long, nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

Good God, that Photoshop is effing terrible. Please remove it from all internets.

kill yourelf

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?

LOL

DAMN, that song at the end of the podcast is catchy. Nice Job!

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

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.

Why can't I get the podcast from the Zencast ?

Zencast lol.

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.

Love Fridays.

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...
