That intro is the worst thing I have ever heard.
Christopher Grant @ Sep 5th 2009 12:21PM
By worst, do you mean best?
N3M3515 @ Sep 5th 2009 12:27PM
No, worst as in it was mind-rapingly horrible.
RANDOM G [King of the Scribblenauts][Sweatshop Retiree] @ Sep 5th 2009 12:36PM
Are we listening to the same podcast? That was amazing!
tidu @ Sep 5th 2009 3:24PM
Autotune makes anything super.
DJmizuhara @ Sep 5th 2009 12:25PM
WTF...WORST INTRO EVAR!!!! What the hell was that...I feel sick!
Rhamsey @ Sep 5th 2009 1:03PM
It was the cry of a lone wolf wishing to find his wolf pack.
futurebiblehero @ Sep 5th 2009 12:30PM
Anyone ever submit a picture of Jerry Holkins and Bunsen to totallylookslike.com?
Alton Brown [ XBL: LordToastington, Soon-To-Be-PSN: OrIsItAltonBrown] @ Sep 5th 2009 12:37PM
I actually made mention of that yesterday. Also, your avatar makes me smile.

2:18
That didn't take long.
Rhamsey @ Sep 5th 2009 12:58PM
It only took 2 minutes and 18 seconds before the CSI opening was played. Damn you David Caruso!
Veko @ Sep 5th 2009 1:21PM
Dear Joystiq,
As I sit here, sipping upon my Earl Gray, I remember...
...You guys are awesome as fuck. I love those videos. I haven't laughed this much since that one time ur mom's fat.
I apologize for the poor finish to that preceding sentence.
Special Agent Steve @ Sep 5th 2009 1:23PM
Yeah, I don't really like the intro either. Sorry, just not my thing.
Justin McElroy @ Sep 5th 2009 2:00PM
Dear Brain Trust, if you don't like the intro, it MIGHT be because it's fucking horrible.

It's better than lil' Wayne, Chris Brown, and T-Pain put together in one song!
Also, the podcast isn't the same without Justin... No focus.
Matt @ Sep 5th 2009 2:26PM
"It's better than lil' Wayne, Chris Brown, and T-Pain put together in one song!"
The comments I would make...
Jose @ Sep 5th 2009 3:38PM
You can be Lady Gaga, I can be T-Pain, we can be, bringing on the boogie, dropping rhymes like rain.
DaMan09 @ Sep 5th 2009 4:40PM
There now must be an auto tuned intro for every show now. You are a god Mr. McElroy, a damn god.
Special Agent Steve @ Sep 7th 2009 12:44AM
@Justin
You're rap is better than 90% of every single rapper alive.
However, I think you should leave it to the last 10% to disrupt childrens' minds.
Was there a subliminal message in that, btw?
Crimson Major @ Sep 7th 2009 1:07PM
Justin is on very thin ice...
I concur, every show needs autotuning :P
Obie @ Sep 5th 2009 2:09PM
Those Paxusos are the best thing on the internet. Period.
Jose @ Sep 5th 2009 2:39PM
Hey guys, what up with the R&C hate? Cartoony, low brow, and puerile as it may be, for a serial product, the games have done platformer/shooter very well. Their arenas are some of the best as well. Do you want to question them on polish? Hah, you're stupid.
Insomniac should make Psychonauts II with Schaeffer...
The Dark Wayne @ Sep 5th 2009 2:42PM
haha, you guys autotuned the news!
Dirty @ Sep 5th 2009 3:28PM
Maybe they smoked some lettuce. I would say they are on thin ice.
Wiizer ($299) Having BC On Your Launch Console? (Priceless) @ Sep 5th 2009 2:58PM
Hey, was that Griffin that got the MAG beta invite?
We need to form a Joystiq Clan, Griffin!
Jose @ Sep 5th 2009 3:12PM
I suppose you guys got to the Ratchet and Clank love. TLDNL apparently.
Chris Grant is right about one thing: MAG sounds like a working title, much like "Dolphin" or "Xbox".
So are melee weapons in L4D2 organically populated by the new AI throughout the levels you've all seen?
Hog Robbrer @ Sep 5th 2009 3:16PM
Great, another joystiq podcast I have to listen to!
Hog Robbrer @ Sep 5th 2009 3:36PM
And the intro is awesome guys.
Take a chill pill
switters @ Sep 5th 2009 4:07PM
Dear Joystiq,
I've been listening to the podcast for over a year and really enjoy the show. That being said if you play that CSI f#%@#$@#$k#@$@ sound one mORE TIME, I"M DONE!!!
NO MORE PODCAST FOR ME!
I'm guessing that's not such a big deal to you, Joystiq, but u will be down one listener. Just saying.

robotoid @ Sep 5th 2009 6:49PM
Wow switters, when you're this angry, I can see you aren't so.... sweet *YYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH*
rTwelve @ Sep 5th 2009 7:23PM
robotoid..... you're doing it wrong. sweet isn't even that close to switter.
i admire the effort, but you will be down one more heart.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
rTwelve @ Sep 5th 2009 7:24PM
FUCK WHY DID I SAY "MORE" UGH I FUCKING SUCK
robotoid @ Sep 5th 2009 6:50PM
GRIFFIN, I LOVE YOU! YES, I HAVE A MAN-CRUSH!
rTwelve @ Sep 5th 2009 7:09PM
The Federal Commission of T-Pain approves.
Donald @ Sep 5th 2009 9:36PM
Is there a link to the unboxing and hands on videos for the future Mrs. Miller's engagement ring?
Juno @ Sep 5th 2009 11:34PM
Best. Podcast. Since the last time Griffon was on.
Call me soon Griff? I haven't heard from you in weeks!
zodduska @ Sep 6th 2009 1:54AM
Inconsistent volume makes this ep unlistenable.. seems like it happens with most on-location podcasts. Meh, no Justin or Ludwig anyway.. great into though.
buzz_clik @ Sep 7th 2009 12:26AM
I studied music for 12 years, and I hereby declare the intro to this podcast to be musical genius of Beethovian proportions.
It took me ages to actually start listening to the actual content, because I re-listened to Maestro McElroy's fly jam at least 5 times beforehand. I'm listening to this on Monday, and I'm already calling it as the funniest thing I'll hear all week.
buzz_clik @ Sep 7th 2009 3:05AM
Wait, wait... did you guys say that Drake's on a train?
*CSI noise*
Courtney @ Sep 8th 2009 4:22PM
Ha! Nice Meatloaf reference (whether it was intentional or not).
