Joystiq Podcast 068 - Special guest edition

by Christopher Grant { Oct 3rd 2008 at 5:15PM }

It's Friday, so you know what that means: It's podcast day! So get downloading, kick back, and listen to the soothing sounds of Chris, Ludwig, and ... well, that's it. But just because Justin isn't here this week, doesn't mean he's not here in spirit. There he is in that picture above! And we've got a couple special guests tasked with filling in his velcro shoes.

We're talking about LittleBigPlanet, we're giving away LittleBigPlanet beta codes (tune in!), and we're playing the latest hit game based on the podcast. No, not Earthosaur, you nerd. It's ColorBlind so check that noise out! And thanks to hard-working man Danny from the JPAG for the pic of his totally-not-a-photoshop work shirt.

I'm partially color blind and I don't understand that game, is it all supposed to be gray scale or is there color somewhere in there?

Serious monkey is being serious

Josh @ Oct 3rd 2008 7:54PM

It's grayscale. :P

Titanium_Orchid @ Oct 3rd 2008 8:16PM

well, that explains a lot then... although I can't see the image in the circle with all the red and green dots, it just looks like a bunch of dots.

Bo0fa @ Oct 3rd 2008 5:32PM

Nice call on the outro track

SmokesMadBluntz @ Oct 3rd 2008 5:37PM

Smooth edits guys. Real smooth, I hardly noticed them.

Andrew @ Oct 3rd 2008 6:01PM

Seriously considering not listening without Justin...

James Lockwood @ Oct 4th 2008 4:28AM

Are you joking - a show without Elroy sounds wonderful! I'll probably listen to it all the way through.

Nah, probably not.

Good job on the intro editing Chris haha.

James Lockwood @ Oct 4th 2008 4:32AM

That sounds a tad bitchy, doesn't it? It was meant in jest, I just want to clear that up. I guess I should have used Smiley Faces!!1 to reinforce my jovial nature, but everytime time I use one of those a little part of me dies inside :)

Andrew @ Oct 4th 2008 12:44PM

It's not that this week was boring, it's just that I didn't laugh once. Seriously, Tortillo is not funny.

rTwelve @ Oct 6th 2008 4:08PM

You just have a chip on your shoulder

theturtle363 @ Oct 3rd 2008 5:57PM

ah, now the weekend has started

theturtle363 @ Oct 3rd 2008 6:07PM

WHAT?! NO JUSTIN!??! WHAT THE FUCK?!

343 Guilty Fart @ Oct 3rd 2008 6:21PM

I'm trying to finish up Beyond Good & Evil as well, but the LBP beta (thanks Ross!) is getting in the way.

Nitrowolf2 @ Oct 3rd 2008 9:49PM

cool

DustoMan @ Oct 3rd 2008 7:03PM

Is it Steven Totillo!?!??!

(Everyone take a drink!)

HandSandwich @ Oct 3rd 2008 7:12PM

Time to see if Chris's played Geo Wars Deuce yet.

J.Goodwin @ Oct 3rd 2008 7:57PM

The opening is brilliant.

Vegnagun bwf @ Oct 3rd 2008 9:22PM

JPAG is like Dr.Pepper in that it's the only choice when I want to drink a soft drink.

LAZoftheTamarinds @ Oct 3rd 2008 9:28PM

Awesome! Can't wait to give it a listen!

tmmoore_nc @ Oct 3rd 2008 11:32PM

I love your podcast guys, but man, there are so many errors in this one. Big ones, too.

Christopher Grant @ Oct 4th 2008 1:08AM

Errors? Define.

Vegnagun bwf @ Oct 4th 2008 2:00AM

Errors in creating a bad podcast.

tmmoore_nc @ Oct 4th 2008 2:38AM

Okay. Pikmin GC remake is not the Pikmin Wii Miyamoto mentioned at E3. You CANNOT play VC/WW games from the SD card with this upcoming "solution". You can just download them, making the feature meaningless. They said something about it being easy to send VC/WW games to your Wii, but by Nintendo implications, that means they aren't doing anything.

MowDownJoe @ Oct 4th 2008 10:52PM

You CANNOT play VC/WW games from the SD card with this upcoming "solution". You can just download them, making the feature meaningless.

WRONG! Reggie clarified you can play things off the SD card.

tmmoore_nc @ Oct 5th 2008 12:38AM

If this is true, I demand a link to a quote. Because all I've read and heard from various places that this is not the case. That's the problem with Nintendo, never a straightforward answer.

Azriim @ Oct 3rd 2008 11:39PM

Whats up with how the order of the podcasct on I tunes?

Wubbytoes @ Oct 3rd 2008 11:42PM

Thanks for another awesome show guys!

Ray @ Oct 4th 2008 6:53PM

That introduction was hilarious

Chase @ Oct 4th 2008 3:25AM

I had a Totilo pizza last night.

Check out the JPAG for a picture. x]

j.howlett @ Oct 4th 2008 6:08PM

got my podcast in and it was good.

Donald @ Oct 4th 2008 10:35PM

What kind of world are we living in when my most anticipated RPG is on the 360, my most anticipated 2D platformer is on a Sony system, and my most anticipated gory action game is on the Wii?

COULD SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS?

MowDownJoe @ Oct 5th 2008 6:04PM

Reality is often stranger than fiction. How else did George Bush get reelected?

Pedobear @ Oct 4th 2008 10:45PM

Man whats with the skype sounds? I kept thinking someone was talkin to me.

ogvor @ Oct 5th 2008 12:43AM

The Flaming Lips are a class act. Nice choice.

Marek Hryc @ Oct 6th 2008 10:19AM

HAHAHA, sixty- "Eight". brilliant editing guys.

Alex @ Oct 6th 2008 1:01PM

Yes, the Remake of Pikmin 1 for Wii is NOT the same as the new Pikmin that was mentioned at E3. There will be a remake of Pikmin 1 for wii AND a brand new Pikmin for wii.
