Joystiq Podcast 085 - Dedication edition

by Justin McElroy on Feb 13th 2009 4:15PM

This week's all about dedication. Ludwig records a show despite the constant threat of lion attack. What's that? Dedication. Justin's there even though a tree fell through his ceiling less than 48 hours ago, and you know what that translates to? Dedication. Chris manages to be nice to a listener he disagrees with, and we don't even need to tell you what that translates to (spoiler alert: dedication).

Not to mention that, as always, you'll need no small amount of dedication to make it to the end. Big thanks to Max Paolucci for the nutty image.

dl'ing now, though the show pic fails by not having any pink in it, or High School Musical references, 2 of Justins favorite things come podcast time

http://twinkle.tapulous.com/index.php?hash=1b1bdbae8cb1da7aa2484f5497d1f1ca537e92ea

My new desktop background.

No way chris, ME TOO!

Priceless.

You should have told me that pic was NSFW. Now I have people staring at me because I began laughing a bit too loud.

I love the look on his face!

1+ will never be enough pojo

This might be the greatest picture I've ever seen.

If you ever had doubts to the dedication of one Justin McElroy... CEASE THEM!

Who brought the tang?

Justin, Why are you using that picture, and not this one: http://snipurl.com/btm3p

Im guessig that weeks of unadulerated heckling is one reason.

Those are some rockin' headphones.

Easily the best podcast ever!

Friendship FATALITY for all podcast listeners.

I can't even afford a video game system right now, but I listen to you guys every week just the same.

The only "video game" I play is with my wife and two calculators. We each type a number on our calculator and try to guess the number the other person entered. It is surprisingly fun for the first few hours, but then boredom creeps in, followed by anger, and then a smattering of violence.

So if you should ever have an extra PS3, 360, or Wii sitting around please send it my way!

Love you guys!!!!!!!!

Can I buy the rights to this game of yours?

Do you feel a deep shame when you play your sick twisted calculator game??? I heard Son of Sam played calculator games, and so did Jack the Ripper.

Chris' heavy breathing through the first half is distracting me. Now that I've pointed it out to everyone see if you can un-hear it. I can't.

I meant Justin

Justin always likes to throw in little easter egg sound bytes such as food munching and sniffing.

Every week you can enjoy a game to see if you can catch them all ^ ^

Actually, sounds like a good cue for a drinking game. For those that are of drinking age of course ;-)

Its totally Chris with the rapist breath. He seems a bit preoccupied as well, typing up an essay of some sort.

Joystiq Podcast: Catch the rapist edition.

I honestly couldn't finish the podcast because of the breathing in the background, but I'll try again later. It was just so distracting.

yikes.... yeah the orgasmic heavy breathing and typing was SUPER distracting. Turn your mic down a bit please! I'm only commenting because I love the podcast and want it to be the best it can be!

Man i've really fallen behind, I havent listened to the past 4 podcasts. I'm ashamed. I feel dirty. I just havent been playing WoW as much which is usually when I listen to it, and I can never focus enough just to sit down and listen to it without doing anything else. Please forgive me my dear hosts and fellow joystiqers.

don't feel too bad i'm backed up to episode 77

Take a shower to cleanse your dirty self. After that...we forgive you.

Play all four at once! Your brain will be too busy hemorrhaging from the awesomeness to worry about trying to do anything else.

I hope the iTunes will get fixed, I can't manually subscribe because im on the Canadian iTunes store :(

Got the manual link from last week working, the one posted this week didn't work...

I fixed it – it was wrapping an http:// on the front. :-/

Guys, for Christ's sake, give us the Zune owners a normal podcast pic!!! Last episodes was perfect, but no you reverted back to the banner pic!!! I'm gonna kill someone (it's gonna be Chris Grant).

Huh? Take a screengrab of the Zune Store and share. I don't have the software and can't tell what, if anything, we've changed. We're trying EVERYTHING to get Apple to reopen the fracking listing.

It should be square as on the left (it was last week). This week it's once again a banner.

Totally random, but if you watch the movie 21 with Kevin Spacey, Justin plays the part of the lead character's best friend. It's either Justin or a doppelganger. Trust me on this.

hahahaha i see it

Great podcast. One thing though, what's with the constant keyboard/masturbatory breathing background noise throughout most of the podcast?

That's a special feature! :-P

Seriously guys can you please fix the iTunes, i can't get it on my ipod with just downloading the mp3

Go to Advanced - Subscribe to Podcast - and enter in http://www.joystiq.com/category/podcasts/rss.xml

Or just click on the iTunes link above – it should automatically subscribe you straight to our feed.

I just watch the video podcast. That link works fine. And its totally better than the plain audio podcast.

I couldn't get the PSN to work, so I guess someone else got it.

I'm downloading it right now. 11% complete. It's really slow though, so I'm not ruling out the possibility of it telling me the code is invalid halfway through. Still, if it does work then ZOMG! THNX JOYSTIQ!!!!!111!

ZOMG! It worked. Thanks Joystiq, you have ensured my uni work goes untouched for another night. :D

I can't even listen to the show because someone is breathing into their microphone. That is really annoying.

It is somewhat noticeable, but they do sort it out, about twenty mimutes in they mention it. Stick with it Chedder!

so was i the only one who forwarded the applebees chain letter to joystiq's tip box that was the tip of the week last week? if so i'm 3 for 3. email read, brush with fame, and a tip o' the week! and i made justin feel loved, but thats just between him and i. (fable 2 justin, fable 2).

Achievement Unlocked!

Joystiq Podcast Stalker

yessss. how many points?

Just downloaded. I am a new listener and recently listened to Episode 84 and loved it. Keep up the good work and congrats Justin on the case of Blueberry Muffin Tops.
