Perhaps you've always wanted to get on board with the Joystiq Podcast but didn't know where to start. Maybe you're a long-time fan, but forget funny things almost as soon as you hear them. Or maybe you just have three spare hours and want to fill them with delight.
For all of you, there is Joystiq Podcast: Episode Zero.
The product of nearly a year of work and countless man hours, Episode Zero collects listener-selected best bits from the first 100 episodes of the Joystiq Podcast. Though a labor of love for the whole of the JPAG, special thanks goes to Ryan Gan for organizing the whole thing, Erron Kelly for cutting the audio and Dali Dimovski for sequencing the clips. Sincerely guys, thank you. (Special bonus: You'll find a list of all the bits after the jump!)
To the rest of you, sit back, get a mug of coffee, relax ... and get ready for love.

It's sad that the stuff I remember laughing the hardest at isn't in here (riding a bike without a helmet, bad pun sound effect spam, guess the real Wiiware or DSiware game). I guess it's all post-episode 100 stuff, even though I've been listening since near the beginning.

if that one 5 minute stretch where everyone kept making shaving jokes to the CSI sound effect until it eventually degenerated to Justin saying "Razor" was in here, all life in the world would be completed.

My first episode was Lasercomb, but man, that RAZOR one was classic.

I love it too, trolls and assholes all. I only started listening to the podcast around the lasercomb edition, but now my week just isn't complete without it.

Has anyone found a solution to the podcast's refusal to download via the iPhone? It's been an issue for over a month now, and bitching to Ludwig doesn't seem to have solved anything...

Justin, your hair needs more 'attitude' to go with that attitude embodied stare-me-down-come-hither look you're giving off...
Any thoughts?
I think it would be great if you took a similar picture, but all of you were sporting the faux hawk (as Ludwig demonstrates). Though, admittedly Chris will have a harder time with this one. Looking forward to more Photoshop worthy faces in the future.
Keep up the positivity as we March along! You guys are doing great.

Aww... I was hoping that awesome "What's This?" riff would show up...
Neither the Podcast-specific feed for Google Reader or my Podcatcher (which depends on Google Reader, to begin with), is catching this. So alas, I must wait for episode 0 to find itself on my Droid.

YESSSSSSSSSS GET READY FOR LOVE SONG IS BACK!!!!!!! does this mean it's back on the show from now on????? it's just THE perfect intro song! it starts high after the intro laughs and it gets the people on with high energy, etc. I was so sad when it was gone.

Oh man, does this mean get ready for love is coming back as the intro?! Please?! At least replace it as the ending, because I'm sad enough that the podcasts end without sad indie acoustic guitar to make it worse.
