Joystiq Podcast 117 - Call of Warfare edition
by Justin McElroy 
{ Nov 13th 2009 at 4:10PM } 
We've finally ditched the game talk in an effort to accommodate our beloved host. This week, it's just carpentry talk, with all the drill bit and sandpaper news you crave.
If you're more interested in DJ Hero, Assassin's Creed 2 and Modern Warfare 2 chat, we might be able to squeeze in a few minutes for that too. Maybe. And thanks to Evan Hodgins for helping us to celebrate Movember, which we would otherwise be genetically unable to do.

Chris seems so distracted by Justin's sexy ass forearms. Do you think love can bloom on a podcast?
rTwelve @ Nov 13th 2009 4:13PM
They must have..... identical..... fitness routines.
carmaction @ Nov 13th 2009 4:15PM
Dude. NSFW.
But it is safe for my hard drive. Right-click. Save as: "SEXYTOWN".

Paw-yod cast! Yeehaw!

Oh my.
I'm really glad I can download podcasts straight to my Touch, without going through iTunes. I'll have to get this one.
JXCgunrunna @ Nov 13th 2009 4:33PM

NaffyDuck @ Nov 13th 2009 4:32PM
Probably the best manwich ever.
MarkHawk @ Nov 13th 2009 5:28PM
Your obviously not a mustache person...
MillsAnimation @ Nov 13th 2009 4:31PM
I get that to truncate "Assassins" it becomes "Ass", but still "Ass Creed" just looks a tad NSFW when you add in the podcast picture for this week.
Just sayin...
charlie b. @ Nov 13th 2009 4:35PM
SO HOT.
Rhamsey @ Nov 13th 2009 4:42PM
Oh god, I feel so uncomfortable right now.
Courtney @ Nov 13th 2009 4:43PM
I totally should have done the Movember thing, would give me an excuse to grow the Selleck that I've always wanted.
MarkHawk @ Nov 13th 2009 4:47PM
I loved the what you've been sanding segment. It was a really cleaver way to address Chris's lack of VideoGamePlaying.
shadowhowl1900 @ Nov 13th 2009 4:52PM
wow...these guys deserve props for this podcast.
giving up playing CoD:MW2, UC2 etc....thats a lot to give up
Tim @ Nov 13th 2009 4:58PM
Thank you for the podcast guys! You help me have more fun while doing things that are unfun. I love all of you like Selenas biggest fans loved her!!!!
CH3BURASHKA @ Nov 13th 2009 5:16PM
All three could very well be the children of Tom Selleck, in that photoshop.
Chris is the 'tarded one.
MarkHawk @ Nov 13th 2009 5:27PM
I love hearing you guys talk about using Goozex. I work in this weird IT department where no one really talks to anyone outside of their department. A few months back these guys were talking about trading games into Gamestop in the bullpen behind me. I had to stay late that night and on my way out I threw a post it on their monitors that said "Stop trading in games Goozex.com". It was kind of shocking last week when I heard "Oh Yes! I just got someone to request Madden 09 on Goozex!" and it felt good knowing they were using it.
I'm a big fan of Goozex. Good community over there and if you're a fan of JoyStiq I think you'll like their set up. Anyway all of this is a shameless plug to add my referral link below. I'll get a free trade out of it if you decide to check it out. It is a great site though and I really suggest you check it out once the podcast is over.

So Goozex is like swaptree except that it has distinct monetary costs?

How did you guys not pick the Rico Suave one?!
Marek Hryc @ Nov 13th 2009 5:56PM
I saw that image on the JPAG page a few days ago, but I'm still in awe.
And by awe I mean horrified and arroused. Sweet mother of god what does this mean?
Donald @ Nov 13th 2009 10:38PM
It means you've moved one level up on the Kinsey scale.
JJBro1 @ Nov 13th 2009 6:02PM
are there mw2 spoilers?
Steven @ Nov 13th 2009 6:02PM
A photoshop of the famous Burt Reynolds centerfold from the April 1972 issue of Cosmopolitan? That magazine came out mere weeks before I was conceived.
colostomeboy @ Nov 13th 2009 6:21PM
wow i finally get to see their faces, so i am guessing that chris grant is on the left and ludwig is on the right (correct me if i am wrong) and justin is in the middle
ps.s i like their porno mustaches
Kodros @ Nov 13th 2009 6:39PM
For you Droid (and Android) users, just download Google's "Listen" app from the marketplace and search for Joystiq.
pibs @ Nov 13th 2009 6:44PM
That photoshop looks scary good
RudyHuxtable @ Nov 13th 2009 6:53PM
Why do I suddenly have the urge to move "Cannonball Run" to the top of my Netflix queue?...

Which episode was Rocco on the podcast? I've been looking around but I can't find it.
Dawglet @ Nov 13th 2009 8:24PM
Never mind, took awhile but I found it. (Ep. 35)
kacex @ Nov 13th 2009 9:05PM
Ass. Creed 2

In the words of Paris Hilton: Thats hot.
Evan @ Nov 14th 2009 1:52AM
The base pic is from the Burt Reynolds playgirl spread, or at least that was what popped up when I google image searched it. It's his body copied and scaled a little three times, then I added the heads, messed with the colors and a little blurring, added the mustaches and did some basic light and shadow work.
James @ Nov 14th 2009 10:35AM
*looks at story picture*
Welp, time to break out the eye bleach again.

David Keith wasn't sergeant foley in MW2, that was Keith David. Im not kidding, David Keith is a white guy from U571 and some scifi channel movies, Keith David is Sergeant Foley/Arbiter/Goliath/Captain Anderson/Everything else ever
Philip (Fernando Rocker Defence Force) @ Nov 15th 2009 3:47AM
Just have to say I loved the new segment about what you've been sanding.
Graham @ Nov 15th 2009 10:00PM
I hate when people photoshop there bodies onto ancient romantic paintings.
All the lateral forceps in those paintings are so engorged and misrepresented.
Certified Ninjician @ Nov 16th 2009 2:48PM
You have no idea what the new "What have you been Sanding" segment sounds to an outsider who doesn't know the context that surrounds this. It does however give me the desire to watch Holmes on Homes this week so I can keep up with the conversation.

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Notice the H.
colt4by5 @ Nov 17th 2009 4:07PM
You guys keep changing the "whatcha been playing" intro to remove the creepiness, but you leave in the creepiest part... the voice!
slainbaby @ Nov 19th 2009 5:50AM
Over 9000!!!!
BriggityBriggs @ Nov 19th 2009 11:57PM
I'm just gonna let it hang
