Joystiq Podcast 120 - Chewbacca Battle Chess edition

We sent a canary down into Justin's West Virginian internet pipes and, just as we expected, it keeled over dead. Those pipes aren't safe and, since safety has always been our #1 concern here at the Joystiq Podcast Warehouse, we've asked our own Ben Gilbert to step in.

Justin does join us for a quick phone chat about Dante's Inferno, Richard Mitchell joins us to talk about the chilly welcoming of this week's Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, and JC Fletcher helps us make sense of that Yakuza 3 news. Oh, and Photochop Man Alan Black reminds us about Mega Man 10.
