Yeah guys, stop being "meen" to each other.

Sometimes the world looks perfect
Nothin' to rearrange
Sometimes you just
Get a feelin' like you need some kind of change
Standin' tall
On the wings of my dream
Rise and fall
On the wings of my dream
Rain and thunder, the wind and haze
I'm bound for better days
It's my life
It's my dream
Nothin's gonna stop me now.

Luddy really needs to get that brick wall up, no one in America knows how to keep a lion tame.
Manly Mcbeefington (Mr. ESC) @ May 15th 2009 5:25PM
Hey guys is time for me to be an asshole and go out of topic with something most of you don't care but for the ones who care ...

Brix will be shat.
Back on topic that's the saddest crayon drawing I have seen in joystiq and that most be worth something.

Yay I love my broken engrish...Damn it.
Anyhow that's the best update to the date,I can completly look over the fact that the 2 new unlockables are just watches.
chispito @ May 15th 2009 7:29PM
I don't see how the actual update could live up to the catalog page. Where do I order a copy of the Dapper Rogue?
Michael @ May 15th 2009 5:26PM
Please, dear sirs of the Joystiq Podcast, may I have a Brush with Fame?

Double J @ May 15th 2009 5:30PM
I'm going to send a letter exactly like that to Nintendo asking them to make a Luigi game where he plays mini games with guns.

RazorD @ May 16th 2009 2:28PM
Ugh, You're right - I'll check with ludwig/justin to see what they want to do, either post it here or give it out next week in full.
LAZoftheTamarinds @ May 15th 2009 7:14PM
One of the best Photoshops ever.
Also the BEST letter/crayon drawing.
Thanks for another episode.
The Dark Wayne @ May 15th 2009 7:31PM
Ludwig looks very handsome. photoshop of the year
The Dark Wayne @ May 15th 2009 7:35PM
Son of a bitch! I forgot to email again! Damn! And it's too late to post it in the comments 2 hrs later where no one will read it! Dang!
THE WICKER MAN (BWF) (GT: Dalek Prime) @ May 15th 2009 7:42PM
It is never too late Dark Wayne. You have me on pins and needles!
The Dark Wayne @ May 15th 2009 8:23PM

The Dark Wayne @ May 15th 2009 8:28PM

Chandler Greenwood @ May 15th 2009 7:50PM
C-c-c-crossOVER!!!
The Dark Wayne @ May 15th 2009 8:35PM
wtf hinkle, or mitchell, i cant tell, Conquest sucked compared to battlefront
The Dark Wayne @ May 15th 2009 8:53PM
WHAT?! YOU HAVENT SEEN MY MOVIE?!
Markez @ May 15th 2009 9:34PM
The Dark Wayne stream of consciousness is both candid, uncensored, and frightening.
El Verde @ May 16th 2009 9:36AM
That's both hilarious, snarky, and eloquent.
playwhutyalike @ May 15th 2009 9:11PM
The "J" Team, huh?
Mike Santos @ May 15th 2009 11:10PM
i meant it be to J - Team as in Joystiq.
Rax Dakkar @ May 15th 2009 11:35PM
As long as the J-Man is on there, I'm game. HE'S FUCKING GOLDEN.
&rew @ May 15th 2009 11:58PM
Not having Chris again can only mean that a certain 15 year old artist is going to be very sad.
danny of rough draft. @ May 16th 2009 12:08PM
That was the longest Joystiq Podcast ever. I love you guys, but wow...
The Dark Wayne @ May 16th 2009 1:13PM
no it wasnt, episode 90 was, it had an entire hour on this one
Zombie Creator @ May 16th 2009 2:14PM
Pink Floyd synced to Wizard of Oz is nothing when compared to "Sabotage" by the Beastie boys synced to Star Wars
The Dark Wayne @ May 16th 2009 2:47PM
sabotage is only like 3 minutes long, and I hope to God you arent confusing Star Wars with Star Trek
Alex K @ May 16th 2009 2:15PM
The audio was horriable for this episode i couldnt even hear you guys that good. Volume must of been to low when recording
Zombie Creator @ May 16th 2009 3:08PM
No seriously if you start the song when Vader first enters through that door within first few minutes of Star Wars it syncs up perfectly.
The Dark Wayne @ May 16th 2009 4:31PM
but sabotage isnt an album, and i cant imagine repeating the song over and over again
Zombie Creator @ May 16th 2009 4:36PM
....
slainbaby @ May 17th 2009 4:12PM
The Ludwig Kietzmann show was great! And by great I mean sorely lacking in Ludwig because his Internet sucks or something, good thing Justin showed up to save the day, kind of a reverse of his usual role.
RainyDayJ @ May 18th 2009 3:38PM
Wow, I love you guys but that was pretty much un-listenable. Better to post no podcast and be thought a fool than post one and remove all doubt - Mark Twain (kinda').
