Joystiq Podcast 068 - Special guest edition

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.

ColorBlind: The Game
Say, is this color red or is it green?

Reader Comments (42)

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

It's grayscale. :P

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.

Nice call on the outro track

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

Seriously considering not listening without Justin...

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.

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 :)

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

You just have a chip on your shoulder

ah, now the weekend has started

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

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

cool

Is it Steven Totillo!?!??!

(Everyone take a drink!)

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

The opening is brilliant.

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

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

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

Errors? Define.

Errors in creating a bad podcast.

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.

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.

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.

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

Thanks for another awesome show guys!

That introduction was hilarious

I had a Totilo pizza last night.

Check out the JPAG for a picture. x]

got my podcast in and it was good.

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?

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

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

The Flaming Lips are a class act. Nice choice.

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

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.

I really hope I turn out to be a skrull, cause I don't care for little big planet at all...

Joystiq Podcast minus Justin McElroy = teh suck

Can I has brush with fame plz? kthxbye

Insult them and ask for them to give you a Brush with fame. Clever.

Well it's only an insult to chris and ludwig, but a compliment to justin (who gives out the brush with fame)

Awe man. I LOVE the Flaming Lips

Wow. This is a god awful podcast. How has this lasted 68 episodes?
