Are you guys going to make another episode on AVATAR KINECT? It was funny, short, and amusing viewing last time. :]

@foxhound

First thing I thought too. There is a demand!

Finally! The trio is back! I usually save these for work, but I gotta listen to it RIGHT NOW.

@Yuglyoshi

Guess who just got back today?
Them wild-eyed boys that had been away
Haven't changed, haven't much to say
But man, I still think them cats are crazy

They were asking if you were around
How you was, where you could be found
Told them you were living downtown
Driving all the old men crazy

The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
I said
The boys are back in town

I have yet to listen, but I am glad to hear that the old people are back. It was getting kind of pathetic that each week the editors got on the forums just to defend their show. Hope this is a good listen.

I'm running full speed towards this podcast.

Let's go podcast, download faster please!

You do a podcast? Sounds so lame.

@ijustw1n
Please kill yourself... as soon as possible.
You cheap knock off of the already deplorable iJustine.

I haven't bothered to download the Joystiq show since the Duke show. But if the dream team is back I'm sure it wont disappoint.

Kind of disappointed that this isn't called "Do you know almost as much as Billy Mitchell?" Or however that quote on twitter went yesterday.

the triforce

While your at it bringing back X3F would be appreciated :P

Yay, I've already dropped this podcast after the BloodRayne ep, but I'm going to resubscribe now

Welcome home, guys.

hmm. I was done with joystiq podcasts. Especially after Chris ridiculed the haters by dismissing them as "Gamers afraid of change." Maybe I'll give this a listen.

@warmonk

Ok, but you seriously have to admit, gamers in general are terrified of change.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE DANTE'S HAIR ISN'T WHITE WHAT ARE THEY DOING."

@warmonk

likewise....This show was a lot better to me...

and I want to be entered into the drawing!!

I. Am. Swollen.

Good Lord! It is good to see the triumvirate reassembled.

You guys still doing the new show though, right? I was growing accustomed to it! Fond even!

@Onomah

The Joystiq Show isn't going anywhere. We'll be rotating between the two different shows. The plan right now is to do With a Q? once a month.

I LOVE YOU GUYS!!

I love you guys (and I haven`t listened to the newest podcast yet) but I really hope this doesn`t mean the end of The Joystiq Show. It was poignant and interesting. I was proud for you guys to be working on something so worthwhile.

That being said I`m sure this`ll be a riot.

@Thebutter Yep. Our plan is to do With A Q the last Friday each month, Joystiq Show every other week.

@Thebutter The Joystiq Show is not going anywhere. Just providing a bit of variety and flavor. :)

@JustinMcElroy

le meilleur des mondes possibles!

@JustinMcElroy This seems like a reasonable compromise. Let the New Coke/Classic Coke comparisons begin!
I haven't listened yet, but is the idea for the "Q" show to always just have the three "classic" hosts? I just mention it because even though I like the "classic" format and it's hosts, I don't mind the use of fill-in hosts or guests should the need or desire arise. But since there is another show that offers other voices to be heard, and with the "Q" show demanding less time of the hosts, I can understand if this remains a Chris, Justin and Ludwig thing.

I'm excited for this for the first time in weeks! Listening ASAP.

YUS SIREE! Thank you guys, so very much!

Glad to hear you three again!

Will the joystiq show still be continued? I really really liked all of the four episodes.

i feel almost guilty saying this (because we kinda forced the crew to go back to the old formula they wanted to get away from) but i loooooooooooooooooved this episode

@Mr Period

I know what you mean, I almost feel guilty.

Almost.

I missed you guys.

The Q gots skillz. Skillz 4 realz.

Great show. Kind of like Wait Wait Don't Tell Me but for videogames. Which is basically the best concept of all time.

I thought this was fun. I think a full crowd participate videogame trivia game show would be a lot of fun.

I love the new show format, but I think Justin cheated on the points. It seemed to me that Ludwig was doing better.

Happy happy!!

So if I'm understanding this correctly... Basically it's 3 weeks of the new 'Stiq, and the last week of the month is a more "classic" podcast?

WORKS FOR ME!

Hey, that was a fun show. Could've done with a little more downtime from the game-show, just as a way of getting broken in and hearing back from our old buds. Nevertheless, fun.

Definitely reupping my subscription now that I know it'll be on a separate feed from The Joystiq Show.

It was fun to hear you guys just BSing again. I got most of Ludwig's Sonic questions right, how sad is that?

This podcast is making me so happy.

Oh Ludwig...

How could you? It's Miles "Tails" Prower, not Tails Miles Prower! You call yourself a fan.

@RichardMitchell

Not anymore!

Welcome to With A Q?, where some of the answers are made up and the points don't matter.

@rTwelve

I was going to make a Whose Line is it Anyway? reference but you beat me to it

Great show guys. Can't wait til next month, when you will talk about how awesome the new Deus Ex is (right??). And Ludwig, you should play for me on the next show, because it's no fun to play for chumps. (I'm calling everyone else chumps.)

Great show! Loved it, you three riffin' + games talk + trivia = win

The best part of this show was the Double Dare music at the end. The rest of the show was great, too, but that was the best.

@Fausk That is one of the few parts that I CAN take credit for. We all should be 90s kids. ;P
