I'm just going to say, ludwigs face should be on chewie.

But Ludwig is neither tall nor hairy. Also he has a silly accent like C-3PO.

And Griffin should have been R2-D2

chewbacca is almost like a lion, combining ludwig and his arch enemy would create universe ending paradoxes!

Actually it should have been McElroy.

Hooray! \o/ My love for Joystiq and its podcast is uncontainable.

Double hooray for my email being read! And yes, I think it's probably not the best idea to treat my drug addiction by meeting with the purest South African form of the substance. I'm going into shock now...

this is getting creepy

This is going to sound really creepy, but I had a dream last night that had Ludwig in it. And I've never met him ever.

It was like a cameo though, like, "Oh look everyone, it's Ludwig Kietzmann!" and he had weird slicked back hair.

That is all.

Good news everyone!

I have invented a device that projects images of the Joystiq Podcast hosts directly into people's dreams! I call it the Joystiq Dream Molester. Unfortunately, the flow of time between the 21st century and the 31st century is distorted, due to the rise and fall of the Time Police in 2574. As such, aiming the device to control your primitive 21st century dreams is an impossible task.

It works great on the remains of your ancient civilization in 2640! If only they knew who these podcasters were...

I had a dream that I hung out with Ludwig in SF last night. It was so romantic...but that pesky Randy Nelson and Ross Miller crashed our date.

If events from the day influence our dreams at night, I have no one to blame but you and Ross (and Twitter), Saria.

way to go number 99. i should start listening again. i have a couple downloaded

I am sure I am wrong, but is that Bjork's head on Leia?

XBox 360 - You guys will NEVER be cooler than Star Wars.

No, that's Bjork.

While Ludwig's head is on C3P0, his body is stuffed inside R2D2

I love the joystiq podcast, favorite podcast and website on the internets, all six of them

I think I got caught in the LOLroclastic flow of the pod cast.

i think you should pick up prototype luddy, im playing it right now and im really enjoy it, probably my favorite game of 09 so far. The graphics arent so hot but the animations are incredibly ,more importantly though, it's just damn fun, it's so satisfying to wrap a giant claw around a guys head and just squeeze

The PC version is marred by so many sound issues. Apparently if you want to hear it (if you're suffering from the really quiet sound bug), you have to open Device Manager and disable every sound device but the one you're using.

There isn't a workaround for the skipping audio during cutscenes yet.

You play inFamous before Prototype though? I agree with Chris, if Ludwig has inFamous to play still he will definitely be open world superheroed out. Played both and I definitely think inFamous is far superior in graphics, gameplay, and replay value. Enjoy inFamous Ludwig! :)

Hmmm don't know why it came up as my other username...

Thanks for the free code for Call of Duty: World at War, Map Pack 2. You guys are sly with these codes, embedding some swag in podcast.

I just wanted to let everyone know that the podcast code has been claimed.

Thanks for letting everyone know. I don't play COD so I didn't try getting the code but it really peeves me when there's a code giveaway and people don't comment and say thank you or at least inform that they got it.

The Sims 3
Prototype
Ghostbusters
Call of Juarez 2
Overlord 2
Splinter Cell...

This is a better month than the 4 that proceeded it and way better than next month...June is a really good month this year.

Just noticed Splinter Cell moved to October..sorry

Obligatory "any plans for episode 100 aside from giving me the BWF?" post

Let's hope for something as epic as the "What's This?" cover in episode 50.

I bet you won't see Rage until QuakeCon in August. Fairly standard for id IIRC.

I think people voted for favorite coming releases not most effective/professional presentation.

I'm still playing tiger woods 10 with wii motion plus so my jury is still officially out but so far it just doesn't seem like much better of an experience than without the Wii motion +. I don't think that tiger woods is the best use for wii motion plus, all it ads is twist detection which isn't really the part that makes it feel like swinging a real club...

Hopefully other games go further with the Wii motion + than I've seen it so far...

A 16 GB ipod touch is $299.99.
The psp go is $249.99.

Justin McElroy Shot First.

Also, let me drop a little Killjoy here: Brutal Legend was originally going to be published by Sierra (Vivendi), not Activision.

(I'm only 35 minutes in so if that gets addressed, I apologize).

Finally!

Hahaha. Listening to this last night as I'm going to bed. Chris' iPhone rings with MGS ringtone (same exact one I have) and I jump out of bed thinking my phone is across the room so I go to find it to answer it. Except I'm listening to the freaking podcast on my iPhone. One of the many dumb moments of my life lol. Great show guys!

Weird it came up as Jorrel instead of Jorrel56... anyhow. More free swag to give out for show 100 to celebrate? *wink* *wink*

Just a crazy thought here.

What if Sony wants to sell the PSP Go to people with a little extra money this Christmas? Some people will pay $250. You know they will.

Instead of pricing it at $199 or $179 or even cheaper and having big shortages and empty store shelves, maybe they're pricing it where they think sales will match their ability to produce it. If you only have the capacity to produce 2 million units this year, why not sell them for $250 over the course of 2 months instead of selling them at $149 in 5 days?

Then drop the price in early 2010, after the worldwide launch is complete and everyone who was happy to pay $250 got their PSP Go.

Crazy, I know.

True but I think they are flirting with disaster on this one. The last thing they need is to not turn a profit on another gaming device. Instead this time because it is too much more than it costs to manufacture. Trying to clean up the mess they've made with PS3 profit with the PSP Go is not the right approach.

Justin your "Niko" sounded like a delicious blend of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog and Borat and it gave me the lolz. Thank you.

i enjoyed luddy's impression me of. NO I DIDNT, IM NOT NICE AT ALL!

That's exactly what I was thinking when I heard that! *sigh* The Joystiq podcast is just too precious. :)

You now officially have a Zune review http://digg.com/u15j4J

What was the name of that Trion/Treon couch coop game you mentioned with the 3 classes? I can't find it anywhere but wanted to find out more about it.

As a resident of Kansas, I have to say I don't appreciate the comment that our small towns are hooker factories. We produce a wide variety of social degenerates and just singling out one does us no justice.
