This week on PODTOID, everything but Halo 3 was discussed. Hah! I kid. We talked about the multiplayer beta hype monster for quite a bit, and I think it eventually turned into string of profanities that refer to the sexual abilities of the mothers of the Destructoid staff. They’re lovely ladies, give or take a few.

We also covered the release of Aegis Wings, video game characters we would like to impregnate repeatedly, and more. Notably, the concept of how the PlayStation 3 is like lite beer and eradicating the “sexy baby problem” were discussed at great length and detail. Listen to it really loud so everyone in your general vicinity can be promptly hospitalized for nose bleeding and a dull sense of groin pain. It’s PODTOID 22, baby!

PUSHING THE ENVELOPE OF TASTE:

Aaron Linde - Surrogate Host (destroyed Nex and ate his brain to gain his knowledge)
Colette Bennett - First place winner of the esteemed Pizza Hut Book It prize five years in a row
Chris Furniss - Chairman of the now-defunct “Jerry Fallwell Should Probably Die” committee
Nick Brutal - Gadfly and ne’er-do-well
and featuring Ron Workman as Beppy the wonder hamster.

YARR, THERE BE SHOW NOTES HERE:

1. Introductions

2. Halo 3 beta news EXTRAVAGANZA.

3. Aegis Wings is free?! OMG.

4. Nintendo power going out of business sale.

5. Rev Ant’s game characters he would touch in their bathing suit areas.

6. READER QUESTIONS - or, how I learned to stop worrying and love killing babies.

7. Hellgate london pricing and a reference to Magic cards.

Podtoid is back in fine form, and it’s the best (and best sounding) one yet. If you wondered where the hell Podtoid 19 went, you’re going to forget all about it when you hear number 20. This one’s a fatty, weighing in at an hour and a half, but it’s a good ride with guests like the lovely Jessica Chobot and Cheap Ass Gamer’s Cheapy D. Ron shows several glowing examples of his gaming knowledge (”which Warcrafts do I want?”) and makes sure that several questionable and obscene things are said - doing it like only Destructoid can. Also, Destructoid’s daddy joins the Podtoid, along with Colette, Aaron, and Hushgush, making this the episode you can’t miss.

Regular hosts Ron, Summa, Aaron and Nex invite one of Destructoid’s regulars, Nameless Ted to this party we’re calling Podtoid episode 17 - B.Y.O.S. (bring your own sausage). The lack of a woman’s touch is glaringly apparent this time around as potty mouth records are broken worldwide and tempers flare far beyond normal levels, making for a fun listen. It’s all guy talk this time: guitars, porkchop sandwiches, leveling up, and so much more. Of particular note is the Blu Ray discussion - I won’t spoil the fun.
