Joystiq Podcast 100 - Century edition

We've been threatening to do it forever, and it's finally arrived: our 100th show, recorded before a live internet audience earlier today. We've got a very special intro from a guest celebrity, touching memories, a random call to Justin's dad, a brand new call-in hotline and so SO much more.

Oh, and we've got more Stump JC, since that's all you people care about.

That show was incredible live... as well as the after the show bit.

I missed it live due to sleep, which was caused by a session of BF: 1943 that lasted until 5 AM. Way to break 2 hours, guys, I can't wait. Congrats on 100, and here's to 100 more.

And Chris, you're talking about how this game seems like a ton of fun when you're all on a team together and communicating with your friends, it is. Me and my friends were DAMNED persistent trying to get into games together, and we eventually did. Once we were all together, it was probably one of the best multiplayer experiences I've had on the console, right up there with Halo and Call of Duty.

I'd like to tell you a story. My friend was being attacked by a tank, and I just so happened to be driving a jeep that I may or may not have strapped with C4. I drive towards said tank, bail out of my jeep, and hit the plunger. The Jeep blows, taking the tank with it.

Also, PARACHUTES.

nowhere near as good as BF2s parachutes : (

But better than Bad Company's parachutes. Which didn't exist. Flying up to the highest point possible and then jumping out to act as kind of a battlefield commander is so much fun. Also, landing behind the unaware and swording them in the back of the skull.

I loved the BF1942 multiplayer demo back in the day. People jumping out of airplanes and deciding that THAT would be a good time to ask how to use the parachute.

They always got their answer AFTER hitting the ground. It was fantastic.

your jeep tactic reminded me of warhawk. you could load up a jeep with proximity mines and drive it straight into the enemy base, and kill a ton of people. and SWORDS?! did i read that right?

Yes sir, you did read that correctly. The Japanese Scout is equipped with a Katana as a melee weapon. The American Scout is equipped with an extremely long bayonet that he uses like a sword. The "Infantry" class for both factions uses a monkey wrench, and the Rifleman classes are both equipped with bayonets attached to their rifles.

i hope to test whether the wrench can magically explode walls like BFBC's power drill

so is it anything like call of duty's knives, but with longer range? or do you have to run around with it out, unable to use your gun?

"I'd like to tell you a story. My friend was being attacked by a tank, and I just so happened to be driving a jeep that I may or may not have strapped with C4. I drive towards said tank, bail out of my jeep, and hit the plunger. The Jeep blows, taking the tank with it."

I've been doing that all the time for years in BF2.

Ok, that's some bad photoshop filtering.

please do every show, or at least some more live, but not at 1030

Welcome to the century club! You are now a member of the podcast elite! how special do you guys feel? :)

OH MY GOD ITS FINALLY HERE! ITS SO BEAUTIFUL!

Congrats!

If you missed the live show your a dick-face.

Or, you know, you have other things to do. Such as work. Or sleep. Or attending to household chores. Or sleep.

Nope pretty sure you just suck if you missed it.

yeah, i woke up at 2:00PM central time so i missed it...

WOW, Sly, and I thought I sleep too long.

100 podcasts and yet your still look good. What's your secret?

i caught the live show. i might still horde the old tech of an mp3 away for later

They were truly Doin' It Live, god speed you titans of humanity

Nice work guys!

Perfectly timed to coincide with UFC 100.

Bravo sirs.

woot!

Thank you so much guys for making fun of Gawker's ridiculous new comment system (at least, I think you did)... :D

:( :( :(

I'm so sad I missed this live!

You were a brief topic of discussion too.

seriously? that would be a bit creepy, no?

that's the point isnt it?

I'm just as confused as you are, Archi.

It was something to do with the fitness ads. We basically concluded that Joystiq women are buff, and Saria the Cat will fuck you up.

So, Saria the Tiger then?

Bummed that I missed it live but at least I get to listen to it now.

Thanks for another awesome episode.

DSG!

Kudos on finally knocking off 100 episodes.

Although tecnically, this is episode 125 including roundtables, GDC/E3/CES specials, the last 3 episodes, and that one episode of the Ludwig Kietzmann Show Starring Ludwig Kietzmann.

Sorry for derailing the podcast at 10:18 in! Great live show guys!!

Damn, finally. Only took like 103 or more episodes to get here. Oh snap.

I LOVE AUTO TUNE THE NEWS!!

Nice job with the podcast good sirs, I look forward to 100 more.

But whatever happened to episode 0?

Congrats guys! Was there to DO IT LIVE! But what happened to Episode 0. I want it!

Kinda funny that I missed the show because I was to busy playing vidjeo games...

We need more live shows, though! DO IT LIVE!

The Joystiq guys do it again. You never disappoint. Thanks for Doing it Live and bringing the show to the people. We Love and Appreciate all you do for us.

Awesome show, as always. A shame that it was live on the first day in 2 months I worked before 12:45. Glad you liked the new liner, though.

Ah, my Stump JC question didn't make it in. Perhaps JC's infinite knowledge does not cross over into early 90s DOS games.

Loving the live idea, but do it earlier, for your listeners in the UK :P

Great episode. I'm loving the video podcast. Moar video podcast, please.
