You know us at the Castle of Pod — we’re not exactly known for sticking to the topic at hand. However, even we were shocked by the way we were able to go on ridiculous tangents this time around. I can’t even remember how we were able to go from The Magic Roundabout to Star Wars but we managed it!
This episode is all about random news bits and obscure rambling. Also, this week’s show comes with a special “optional” segment: One of the listeners wanted to hear stories about the first time each of us met each other offline, which spawned its own twenty minute subject. If you’re interested in hearing absurd anecdotes that involve split pants, drug overdoses and drunken references to Brian Crescente, then stick around.
Also, here are some highlights to listen out for:
- Wardrox is sick. Rejoice!
- Guitar solo!
- Who’s up for yet another Braid fap?
- More like SCAMCO Bandai HA HA HA HA
- Jim reads out some fan mail
- All hail The Magic Roundabout
- Digg went rubbish
- New Lara Croft sparks talk of giblets
- “Hmm, the murderer’s story sounds plausible”
- Vlambo — you’re keeping a dream diary
- How did we all meet?
As always, you can stream/download the show from our official Podcastle page, crank us out on iTunes. Enjoy!

That splenetically angry email was an absolute TREAT.

Yea, it’s true I’m not a part of this WONDERFUL site, but I still come around when a new show gets here.
Flushing credentials down the toilet? OH MY!
Nah, this show needs to be ballsy. Ballsy and British.
This coming from a filthy American.
Speakin’ of which, I was eating at IHOP, and we just happened to sit next to a man from the UK eating with his family. We were surprised to see a man visiting such a place so late, but we we’re happy to enjoy his company…if staring at him from a distance is company..
But, this was all spoiled. A drunk trucker fellow ruined it by slouching up to him and asking, “Hey, are you BRITISH!?”
“Yea. yea I am..can I help you”
“hey man, it’s cool, just wanted to say I have relatives in London..you know..I’m (not lying about this part) RELATED TO THE QUEEN”
I laughed until I passed out, sorry.
Does the Queen have relatives in the Southern parts of America?
Also, This fellow yelled CHEERS before he stumbled out….
Jesus Christ…
Anyways, you guys are amazing and vulgar. Stay that way.

You guys are utter trash. Jim is like a 5-year-old who never learned basic human functions. Wardrox just keeps crying and crying (”My Uncharted saves won’t work!”). Why the hell is Lauren doing something besides cleaning and making sandwiches? You all have set human intellectualism back 50 eons. Eons!
I’ll just going back to eating my haute cuisine, playing artgames, and pretending to completely comprehend and fawn over “Lost in Translation”.

i listen and comment regularly, but am not a member of the “community” per se (as i am not signed up to the website). i just listen because its a pretty funny way to get new information about video games. i work full time so i cant look at every website ever to find out what the latest news is about video games.
anyway, thats why i (and probably other people) come on here and post comment.
moving on:
about motives in video games: i do have to disagree with you. curiosity + video games is enough to make people go on a “scientific experiment” killing rampage to test a virtual world’s probability. i mean, how else will you know if youre getting the full value of the game? it could be just a big ass lie, like that book a million little pieces or the bible. i mean jesus christ, what do you have to do to get some quality assurance in this world? you must test everything that you see or hear, no matter the medium or form in which the information comes.
for instance: if a video game publisher tells someone (or even alludes) that bear sex is the greatest thing ever, the game publisher should expect that person to actively seek a bear and try engage in sexual relations with said bear. not because that person is into bestiality, necessarily, but because the game publisher told them indirectly that they should do it. therefore, it is not the bear rapist that is to blame, but instead the video game publisher, because they indirectly supported bear rape. the person that had sex with the bear shows a far less connection to advocating bestiality because all they did was fuck a bear. see what i mean?

what was that cathcy little tune halfway through the podcast.
The one that has “I say I’m terribly sorry” playing over and over, it kicks ass and chews bubble gum

Duuuuuuuuude.
That’s some faulty, unresponsible ‘ logical ‘ thinking you have going on there.
