Joystiq Podcast 107 - Horatio edition

Sure, there's more Batman: Arkham Asylum, you have to expect that. But there's also price drop talk, a first-hand account of GamesCom madness from our own Alexander Sliwinski, some sad news for Maxis and, of course, your emails and voicemails.

And sorry to disappoint, but we skip the Megan Fox story. All apologies. On a happier note, you have the amazing Zachary Tuttle to thank for this week's podcast art, the larger version of which you can find right here.

[Update: OK, gang, if you got the 46 minute version from iTunes, delete and redownload and you should be all set. Sorry about the inconvenience, we know it's a pain.]

Every single avatar has the exact same hip shift. This is troubling when seen in a large group. Still, it's a cool piece of artwork.

YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-

Horatio? Like the mexican from Mega64?

Hahah exactly what i was thinking.
Next will be Diarrhea Poque Edition

I was actually just listening to gravity wondering where this weeks podcast was. Starting the download in a second.

where's the girls?

this is the internet

and a video game blog

I'm internet famous! Thanks guys!

I see fernando's avatar in that picture...were these all the members from the JPAG group?

Ignore the silly man. I was clearly distracted by the enormous sausage party so I couldn't read the text in the middle of the picture.

[Hey guys, great, great work on this image. Really inspiring stuff.]

and the worst post of all joystiq histoy goes to.....well not this guy but this shit's pretty awful too

I read wolverine's post as "DURR DURR DURR DURR. DURR DURR DURR, DURR DURR DURR DURR DURR DURR. DURR DURR DURR DURR DURR."

Is this ep only 46 minutes

I am saddened that i am not able to listen to this entertaining podcast.

the new "whatcha been playin" is absolutely perfect, dont ever change it. Also I am totally a superhero

also Chris, be careful with combo batarangs, occasionally you will press the trigger too fast and throw two, or at least register as it and lose your combo, if you're having a lot of trouble with all the dudes being down, use a ground takedown, even if there's another guy up as long as he isnt already running at you, you should be able to counter him if he strikes

Batman is totally a superhero. His super mind and super wealth are his powers. He can even take a punch from Superman and then turn around and beat him up without Kryptonite.

It couldn't stop dancin! That or my blood alcohol limit is well above the legal limit. WOHH IT"S LIKE THOSE KID RAVES.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. I wasn't sure based on Justin's response to it if it went over well

yes, never change it.

[I just want to say that I'm a huge fan of everyone on this site and even though I'm banned now, I still love you all.]

wat

What a fantastically insipid post.

Chris has not been reading my e-mails.
I guess my fame is over :(

But anyways, wolverine, I eat people who talks in sarcasm.
Just saying

dont worry hog, it happens to all of us, after quite a few of mine were read, chris started using my real name instead of proper addressing me as Batman

My ep is only 46 mins as well, and it doesn't have an ending or a beginning, it picks up in the middle

I got a 2:05:19 version. Send an e-mail to podcast at joystiq dot com and let them know if you haven't already.

Also, Ludwig's pun about Arkham Asylum was... insane. (YEAAAAAAAAAAAH)

i forgot what the pun was and im terrible at finding things in the podcast, do you remember what time it was?

same here i only got a 46 minute version, and it doesn't have an ending or a beginning

Resident Evil 5 saving doesn't act like that on the PS3.

Best usage of the soundboard yet, keep this excellence up

Hey gang, if you're getting the shortened version in iTunes, we're working on it, I promise.

ludwig where'd you get a tank in RFG? I found walkers and trucks and bigger trucks and all that but the only tank i got was the final fight one given to you, and i could never figure out how to hijack the ones trying to blow me up

I cant recall exactly where it is... but there is a small base where you can get into an un occupied tank. Found this vid. But it might be hard to find where it is on the mini map. =P http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/action/redfactioniii/video/6212199

Those who can use PCs, those who can't use Macs. Its not that the software is better it's that it's made for dummies.

Everyones got their panties in a bunch about Beyond Good and Evil 2.

Awesome 'shop. It'd be cooler if it included everyone's Miis and Home Avatars.

My god I nearly died from laughter when Justin said razor and Chris played the YEAH! sound effect easily the funniest Joystiq Podcast ever.

wouldnt i a trial by fire? YYEEEAAAAHHH!!

and today we learned the importance of the letter t, and s and apostrophes

I laughed, too, in spite of how stupid it is.

@ Joystiq Podcast

The PS3's wifi is "busted"? That's so convenient, since the 360 doesn't even include wifi, now they really are on equal ground, right? Right?!

That might be one of the best openings. =D

Hmm... Justin knows how fanboys feel. I have to agree about people talking about stuff they just don't know about... That's the only time I feel I have to step in and 'regulate'.

Out of all those avatars in those pictures, I'm standing right next to one that looks exactly like me before I changed my avatar's outfit.

Also, I'm standing right in front of Ludwig and Justin! :OOOOOO

You guys were super funny this week .I almost crashed my work machine twice tonight .You guys make the night shift fly by every week.Thank you and keep up the great work .

The first 40 minutes were great, then Chris turned it into the ListenUp Podcast.
