Joystiq Podcast 105 - Wifearmed edition
We're back with another podcast, and a surprisingly full one for the middle of summer. We've got impressions of The Beatles: Rock Band, Trials HD and as much Shadow Complex as we can talk about and Justin does a really bad job of explaining Spider. Then, towards the end, a brief visit from a special guest.
Oh, and a fairly drunk voice mail or two. Naturally. And, of course, thanks to the amazing Alan Black for the upsetting photoshop.
[Update: If you've had trouble downloading the podcast, you should try again. It should be working OK now. Update 2: So, we uploaded once again. Let us know if it's still not working.]

Finally. I've been waiting all day to get my fix.
Also, the little girl with Justin's face will live in my nightmares.
Singular Trap @ Aug 14th 2009 4:18PM
I agree! Holy crap, but that Photoshop of Justin is fantastic! And creepy!

Quick - Halo Wars Limited Edition for $35.99 at Amazon.

Mikeymike @ Aug 14th 2009 2:55PM
Ludwig looks ridiculously good-looking
ThatPCgameryouhate @ Aug 14th 2009 3:11PM
That's what I thought.
The Dark Wayne @ Aug 14th 2009 3:51PM
not nearly as handsome as the A-Team photoshop
captainprotonx @ Aug 14th 2009 2:55PM
Perfect opportunity for DSG.
Wait...Bjork PSP?
Shadowbender ( Sweatshop Supporter In Hiding) @ Aug 14th 2009 10:40PM
Hahaha, Bjork. Mind-bending music right there.
Ratfoot @ Aug 15th 2009 5:19AM
Ahahaha Bjork strikes again.
Takamofo @ Aug 14th 2009 2:58PM
I'd hit it.
ThatPCgameryouhate @ Aug 14th 2009 3:11PM
You can have sloppy seconds.
Rhamsey @ Aug 14th 2009 2:58PM
Crap! Did I miss the live broadcast? Or was there not one?
Oh well, starting it up now.
Storm Eagle [Resident Capcom Megafan] @ Aug 14th 2009 2:59PM
No live sir. I checked this morning.
Storm Eagle [Resident Capcom Megafan] @ Aug 14th 2009 2:58PM
OMG!
Justin...will you like, go out with me?
Hog Robbrer @ Aug 14th 2009 3:02PM
YESSSSSSS JOYSTIQ PODCASTTTTTTTT
Man I love you guys.
DWells55 @ Aug 14th 2009 3:05PM
I'm getting Joystiq's Photoshop license revoked after this.

You seriously think you'll be able to do that with all the DSG fans here (myself included)?
*facepalm*
Nihilism98 @ Aug 14th 2009 3:07PM
Always takes forever to the show to turn up in iTunes. Bah.
The Pie Pieper @ Aug 14th 2009 3:27PM
Holy God,
Chris, Ludy, and Justin look hideous as girls.
I think I am going to go throw up now.

Russ W. @ Aug 14th 2009 3:27PM
Oh man, I've been yearning for some Shadow Complex coverage for the longest time. I BELIEVE IN YOU GUYS!
The Dark Wayne @ Aug 14th 2009 3:50PM
Why is it that ludwigs face always matches perfectly with these things?
THE WICKER MAN (BWF) (GT: Dalek Prime) @ Aug 14th 2009 4:40PM
That is because that is the actual size of his head. He just cuts holes in all the pictures and BAM! instant photoshop.
Storm Eagle [Resident Capcom Megafan] @ Aug 14th 2009 3:54PM
So I just noticed DSG.
YES!
Co1e @ Aug 14th 2009 4:02PM
BEST. PHOTOSHOP. EVAR.
Action-Alan (BWF) @ Aug 14th 2009 4:20PM
Thanks for choosing my 'chop again guys. Sony really needs to get on that Bjork bundle. Day-one purchase for me and probably all of Iceland.
The Dark Wayne @ Aug 14th 2009 4:55PM
Modern Warfare didnt beat Halo in sales at least on the 360, Halo had almost 2 million more
Banstyle @ Aug 14th 2009 5:25PM
Another well placed Bjork. Good show.
James Lockwood @ Aug 14th 2009 5:25PM
Not listened to this weeks show yet, but can I guess on the special guest? I have this feeling it's none other than thirty-ninth President of the United States, Jimmy Carter.
343 Guilty Fart @ Aug 14th 2009 6:10PM
Still waiting for some Pink Floyd!
jdawg @ Aug 14th 2009 6:17PM
the girl in the middle in the purple is the ugliest thing i have ever seen
Misfit Toy @ Aug 14th 2009 6:43PM
"Okay girlz! You grab the nail polish...I'll grab the lilac PSPs (wink)!"
P.S. - nothing beats Dead Space girl bubbles.
The Dark Wayne @ Aug 15th 2009 4:48AM
Man im so happy to hear how much you guys like Arkham Asylum, i was really mortified right from it's announcement it would end up awful
enriquein @ Aug 15th 2009 3:55PM
Getting a big fat "file not found error" on the direct link (also via RSS).
Entegy @ Aug 15th 2009 4:07PM
Same here. Can't download it through RSS or directly.
enriquein @ Aug 15th 2009 4:25PM
BTW Justin in that pic looks just like a girl that went to high school with me. If I can find a picture I'll post it in the JPAG.
maxwedge @ Aug 15th 2009 4:26PM
I was able to download it earlier, but it was only 4 minutes long. So hopefully it's being fixed.
F1: Basu Gasu Bakuhatsu @ Aug 15th 2009 5:25PM
iTunes won't download it and manual's just as bad.
Rax Dakkar @ Aug 15th 2009 5:40PM
I'm also having problems with the iTunes feed (the download won't even start).
I want a refund.
nutman @ Aug 15th 2009 11:31PM
