Joystiq Podcast 099.5 - Get Off Our Lawn edition

[Update: There were two (2!) different problems with this week's cast. If you've encountered either 1) a truncated file or 2) complete, eerie silence then redownload the file from iTunes. It should see the new version and pull it down. Any other issues, grab the actual MP3 below. Let us know if you're still having trouble in the comments and we'll do our best to assist.]

With Justin out this week – undoubtedly with a liver full of West Virginia moonshine – the remaining podcast hosts have tapped one Mr. JC Fletcher to bring his formidable video game knowledge (not to mention formidable facial hair!) to the show. The missing host? Face as smooth as a baby's underarm. JC? Grizzled. Think new Max Payne ... but even grittier.

And with an esoteric Japanese video game t-shirt on.

And ... uh ... thanks (?) to Alan Black for the 'chop ... and for scaring everyone on the internet by showing us what Mount Rushmore's icons would look like if they had teeth. And were totally bald (I'm bald-ING, thankyouverymuch!).

Thank God, I was starting to worry id have nothing to do this weekend

there is so much wrong with that statement...

We could make you a list of other things you can do if it would help.

1. Fight crime.
2. Do laundry
3. ?

4. PROFIT!!!

Play...video games?

4. screw strange tail on a drug bender.

Chris looks like Zordon.

next weeks photoshop needs to be Chris as Zordon and Justin and Ludwig as power rangers. With maybe Grffin and Bjork thrown in there

It has been done: http://i557.photobucket.com/albums/ss18/AlanBlack13/Josytiq%20Photoshops/chriszordon.jpg I whipped that up fairly quick so I apologize if the quality isn't great. I couldn't think of a way to make Justin, Griffin, and Bjork Power Rangers because of the whole helmet thing.

You win one free Internets.

haha i like the plane.

also, why aren't all the episodes on itunes? it starts at episode 88. i heard episode 20 is really good, but i can't download it! nooooooo!

That might have been around the time of the upgrade to Ultrastiq, when iTunes went really wonky.

You can always go back through the archive (linked under the podcast logo in the right sidebar) to find old ones. Every one has a direct download link:

ahh, the ultrastiq update. i remember all the complaining around that time. wow...

I think that's an iTunes problem. I remember having difficulty trying to access previous GFW podcasts when Joystiq did their 'best moments' post.

Such teases, but I guess you need Justin around for a full 100.

Yes! My Photoshop was chosen! Quiver in fear at the sight of a stone Chris Grant!

Nice pic

i swear i'll catch up by show 99.9

@plane
Leave him alone, he freed the slaves.

Sensitive about your hair, much, Chris?

WHY? NO! TOTALLY NOT!!!

(does it look alright?)

Umm...is it just me or is the podcast cut short? At first I thought it was just 49 min long but it ends right after Chris says "ten clammers." Both iTunes and the mp3 seem to be cut short.

Really? I'm not seeing it on my end. Any more details?

Yeah, it seems the iTunes store is listing the episode as being 1:27:48, but when I downloaded it it was only 49:37. I've downloaded it twice, but to no avail.

I too have this problem Sir.

http://podcasts.aolcdn.com/joystiq/podcasts/06-19-09-joystiqpodcast-e995.mp3

Does that file download for you?

It downloaded fine, but it is still only 49 minutes and cuts off mid-sentence.

itunes says its the full lenght but it doesn't play the full 1:27:48. I played the file in VLC and in iTunes at the same time and they matched up. but then i stopped both and the jumped to 1:45 (a part that synced up when played together) and the audio was different.

heres a video http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=112025573553&oid=8702785815#/video/video.php?v=112025573553&oid=8702785815

Redownloaded the podcast in iTunes once more and it seems that I have got the whole thing this time. Problem solved.

I just reuploaded the file – hoping that fixed it for everyone.

Would Kotakus editor in chief do all that to help out a small number of readers? I think not.

Since this week's episode is only 50 minutes long, does that mean that Justin just can't stop talking normally, and artificially extends the length of the podcast? :)

1. Justin isn't in this week's podcast.
2. It's one hour and 27 minutes long.

That pic will haunt my nightmares until my dying day.

Hrm...iTunes is telling me that it is 49:37. This doesn't bode well.

why is the podcast cu short. is this a glitch or does it really end mid sentence?

More details? It's working fine for me. :-/

it cuts off after something about ten clammers then the fie is over. tryed to listen to it 3 times but it stoped short every time

file not fie

it is still only 49:44
i took a screen shot of it. http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m236/delta657/podcastproblem.jpg

here it is again in Quicktime http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m236/delta657/onquicktime.jpg

i even opened it in Audacity
http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m236/delta657/podcastproblem.jpg

wrong link on the last one
http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m236/delta657/inaudacity.jpg

Where is Weekly Webcomic Wrapup?

Damn good question. It was readily excusable when they missed it two weeks ago, but not when they did so last week.

ZOMG NEXT WEEK WILL BE 99.6?

Justin looks so classy. =D

somebody needs a photoshop class
