Filed under: Uncategorized    +    Link to this page

Listen up, wankers. The Podcastle is here in full force once again, featuring Jim Sterling, Atheistium, Wardrox and nerdcore community blogger Wilbo. This episode, we discuss importing and piracy, their benefits, downsides and effects.

We also spend ages talking about what arsehammers the people at Nintendo are — but what’s new there?

If you want to know what they should have called Professor Layton, how Sean Connery would sound if he was a gamer, and how the BRITISH EARTHQUAKE affected us, then you need to listen to The Podcastle right now.

Also, this episode sees our first ever contest. Listen to the show for more details, but to clarify — record an audio sketch for Episode 8 of The Podcastle and post it in your CBlog. The best skit not only appears on the show, but its creator will win FABULOUS PRIZES! Enjoy.

    My god, that girl’s comments are so stupid. “We neeeeeeeed to have voice chat” blablabla. “Because it’s Nintendooo, Nintendo’s the greatest thing” Jezus christ, take a class in how to discuss and have relevant comments.

    My god, this podcast is full of fanboyism and anti-nintendo stuff… you call yourself reporters? (or whatever you are).

    I hope for all listeners this is the last podcast you ever make.

    Bring on the Germans! Can’t go wrong with hate-based life-forms.

    Great podcast. Good info and entertaining..but who the fuck needs information when you can get a good laugh? I’ll light a candle for the ravaged 5-year-old anus, btw.

    This shit really had me laughing. The Gary Glitter talk was pretty epic…
    Also, Wardrox.. dont comment your own podcast, it looks desperate.

  11. Mr. Happyfunlovetime says:

  12. DepheCt says:

    You bastards deleted my comment, I shall hate you forever.

  13. Jermaine says:

    I’ll be listening to this later today :)

    So on recommendation from Wardrox in Stickam Monday, I decided to give this podcast a whirl (mainly because he said that Atheistium was part of the show). I must admit that I’m in love with it and the chemistry that you three have. Also, having Mr. Bond on was awesome.

    Jim, tell Tank I said hi and I hope he’s not pounding you too hard.

    Keep it up!!!

  15. Wex says:

    Wow, European people are angry. It helps to see the other side of the argument(on wii stuff). While I agree it sucks, I guess it really sucks for you guys.

  16. Tamz says:

    Just listened to this and I wholeheartedly agree with nearly everything you guys said, i think it is pretty ridiculous that Nintendo gets up in arms about piracy when the they make European gamers wait so long to buy the game, I think its pretty ridiculous that most of the world can go out and buy Smash Bros while Europe has to wait around for no good reason.
    This long wait for a European release is also what I think compels people to pirate games, I like to think that most gamers who enjoyed the game will go out and buy it when it does come out.
