Blogsmith http://www.blogsmith.com/The Joystiq FancastJoystiqAnd it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from the Internet that all the ears should be rocked with video game podcasts. And all went to be rocked, every one into his own iTunes account. And Chris Grant also went up unto the city to be taxed with Ludwig Kietzmann, his espoused co-host, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there he should be delivered. And he brought forth their firstborn podcast, and wrapped it in swaddling jokes, and laid it in a Zune; because there was no room for them in the iPod. And there were in the same country gamers abiding in the field, keeping watch over their ... games by night. And, lo, the angel who was named Justin McElroy came upon them, and the glory of video games shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, "Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day a savior, which is the Joystiq Podcast."<![CDATA[Joystiq Podcast 01776 - Sorry, England edition]]>http://www.joystiq.com/2009/07/04/joystiq-podcast-01776-sorry-england-edition/http://www.joystiq.com/2009/07/04/joystiq-podcast-01776-sorry-england-edition/http://www.joystiq.com/2009/07/04/joystiq-podcast-01776-sorry-england-edition/#commentsFiled under:


Though this is a short version of the show that lacks Chris Grant and Ludwig Kietzmann, we've made up for it with Joystiq's Ben Gilbert and Jem Alexander and super special guest Wombat of Cheap Ass Gamer fame.

We're talking The Conduit, Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood and a load of other stuff. Enjoy it and have a happy 4th! Oh, and thanks to TV's Alan Black for the photoshop.

It should see the new version and pull it down. Any other issues, grab the actual MP3 below. Let us know if you're still having trouble in the comments and we'll do our best to assist.]

With Justin out this week - undoubtedly with a liver full of West Virginia moonshine - the remaining podcast hosts have tapped one Mr. JC Fletcher to bring his formidable video game knowledge (not to mention formidable facial hair!) to the show. The missing host? Face as smooth as a baby's underarm. JC? Grizzled. Think new Max Payne ... but even grittier.

And with an esoteric Japanese video game t-shirt on.

And ... uh ... thanks (?) to Alan Black for the 'chop ... and for scaring everyone on the internet by showing us what Mount Rushmore's icons would look like if they had teeth. And were totally bald (I'm bald-ING, thankyouverymuch!).

We're back from E3, and we've brought a big huge show along with us. We're playing clean-up on all the E3 stuff we meant to talk about, plus we've got an interview with Mr. Gravity himself, Jon Black.

Oh, and thanks to Mike Santos for the long ago and far away photoshoppage.

With a recording set up that fancy, you might be expecting one of our classier podcasts. Maybe it is, now that we think about it, but that's not exactly saying a lot, is it?

With this new dispatch from the front lines, the team is talking about the games they loved and the ones that left them cold. Also, WoW.com's Mike Schramm treats us all to the Burrito of Fate story.

We've been downgraded from the mysterious oil tanker to a Carl's Jr. in a sketchy L.A. neighborhood. Yeah, we've seen brighter days. Still, that didn't keep us from giving you our thoughts on all the big three press conferences.

Oh, and about the paper rustling at the beginning: Just hang in there, it ends fairly quickly. Sorry, we were starving, we had no choice.

Well, we all made it safely to E3, and in the calm before the show starts, we're bringing you the first of our E3 2009 podcasts. There's not a lot of news to report, but, as you know, that's never stopped us from talking a bunch before.

Enjoy.

So, the bad news is that Justin is gone, thanks to his new status as a homeowner. The bad news? Griffin has replaced him, so you're still getting equal amounts McElroy. It's like New Coke, with all the implications the metaphor carries with it.

Also, so many of you have been asking where you can download the full version of our theme song, Jon Black's "Gravity (Don't Let Me Go)". It's finally here, and you can get it for free! Be sure to come back next week when we'll interview Jon and get the whole story behind the song.

Huh, so this is a weird one. Through the magic of poor internet connections, we've got special guests Richard Mitchell and David Hinkle to replace Chris, continuing his self-imposed sabbatical from interacting with the little people.

We're also doing some NPD dissection and all kind of other good stuff. Much of the talking is coming out of heads that may be new or frightening to you, but please, just hang in there.

After his many weeks of not playing video games, we've finally jettisoned Chris Grant and replaced him with young Griffin MaxElroy, who's taking the show to the max, as is his custom.

We've also got the expected discussion of Duke Nukem Forever, BioShock 2 multiplayer and Home Alone movies. Enjoy. Oh, and thanks to Mike Santos for the golden art.

It's the first Joystiq Podcast in the A.Mr.T. era (After the announcement of Mr. T: The Game, of course), and, as you can imagine, it's pretty much all we want to talk about. Oh, and our favorite candy bars. Those are the hot topics this week. Also: Is it fall yet?

It's the usual stuff. You know, just riffin'. We're doing our best to get away from the navel gazing, but it's SO HARD when there aren't any games to play. As a special treat to alleviate the boredom, we've invited the JPAG's Randall Smith to join us. Unsurprisingly, he's far more professional than us.

Oh, and thanks to the brilliant Conor O'Byrne whose photoshop for this week came in through the bathroom window. If you're cool enough to want a wallpaper sized version, you can find it at the JPAG.

In it, we capitalize on Twittermania by discussing our embarrassing habit of Twitter ambushing, dig into the NPDs, continue to gush over Assassin's Creed 2 and do all the usual crap you know and love. Oh, and thanks to Kyle Collis for the legally embattled photoshop.

This edition of the Joystiq Podcast features some a good example of how to get us excited for a sequel -- and how not to get us excited for a sequel. We could tell you which games we're talking about, but you're just going to have to listen. ... OK, so it's Assassin's Creed 2 and BioShock 2, but we're not going to tell you which is which.

Also, there's all the usual stuff, including your emails, the Killjoy, the Tip of the Week and so on. You get the idea. Oh, and thanks to Adam Proctor from the JPAG for capturing our South African meet-up.

It's our third and (likely) final podcast from GDC and things are just getting stranger. Chris and Justin can't help but name-dropping who they were eating dinner with, and they still can't stop fighting about OnLive.

If you've braved the first two editions, it's time to step up to the plate and finish this thing.

After yesterday's chip-crunching debacle, Justin fired his own boss and brought in Joystiq's Kevin Kelly and Alexander Sliwinski to replace him. Now, you can thrill as they discuss the latest GDC happenings, from the Nintendo keynote to parties to which they were not invited.

Thanks to Mike Santos for the lovely image.

Chris and Justin landed in San Francisco for GDC yesterday, but they fought through their jet lag to bring you a show, brief though it may be.

So, if you want to hear all that we're legally allowed to tell you about Brütal Legend, Ninja Gaiden Sigma II and how consoles as you know them are dead ... or not, you need to tune in.

For some reason, this episode has a higher quotient of funny voices than any in recent memory. Also, we talk about Resident Evil 5, The Path, Metal Gear Solid Touch and the E74 hubbub.

Thanks to recurring photoshop star Mike Santos for the image and to Billy Tisano for bringing us a message from Gov. Schhwartzzeneggar.

Everything that old is new again. We've got a brand new intro courtesy of Jon Black and a brand new attitude. No, no, that's not true. There is new music though, which we hope you love. Again, Mike Santos provides the perfect photoshop compliment.

Speaking of photoshops, we've got a bonus for you after the break, Max Varenik created the perfect game, one combining 50 Cent and Vin Diesel. Sorry world, Joystiq Publishing already has the rights.
