Joystiq Podcast 105 - Wifearmed edition
We're back with another podcast, and a surprisingly full one for the middle of summer. We've got impressions of The Beatles: Rock Band, Trials HD and as much Shadow Complex as we can talk about and Justin does a really bad job of explaining Spider. Then, towards the end, a brief visit from a special guest. Oh, and a fairly drunk voice mail or two. Naturally. And, of course, thanks to the amazing Alan Black for the upsetting photoshop.

Joystiq Podcast 104 - PG edition
Well, it's not live, but this new episode of the Joystiq Podcast is definitely worth your time. We've got discussion of Batman: Arkham Asylum and the Scribblenauts debacle, a special guest, a code for a free copy of Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 and the greatest email in the history of emails, so you won't want to miss that. Also, now that girls play games, we have one of those too. So, what are you waiting for? Go feed your ear holes. Oh, and thanks to Alan Black for the totally illegal photochopping.

Joystiq Podcast 103 - 2010 edition
We're doing it live again with more of your voicemails and emails, a Brush With Fame, and discussions of Halo 4, Scribblenauts and, of course, why every game you want to play is getting bumped to 2010. Also, listen close, because God gets turned into a zombie by Dracula at one point. You won't want to miss that.

Joystiq Podcast 102 - Vystal edition
In this record-setting episode (in terms of length, not quality, naturally) we share the hardest game we ever beat and our work habits, spill our plan to overtake the rap world and outline a new doctrine of love and brotherhood for all video game fans to follow. After all that, there's some vulgar freestyle rapping.

We're doing it live again with more Stump JC, Brushes With Fame, NPD talk and, now, your voicemails to The Do It Line! (1-877-JOYSTIQ).

Joystiq Podcast 100 - Century edition
We've been threatening to do it forever, and it's finally arrived: our 100th show, recorded before a live internet audience earlier today. We've got a very special intro from a guest celebrity, touching memories, a random call to Justin's dad, a brand new call-in hotline and so SO much more. Oh, and we've got more Stump JC, since that's all you people care about.

Joystiq Podcast 01776 - Sorry, England edition

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.

Joystiq Podcast 099.75 - Lettuce smokers edition
Like the rest of the media, we're pretty much only talking about Michael Jackson.

Joystiq Podcast E309 - Burrito of Fate edition
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.

Joystiq Podcast E309 - Do It Live edition
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.

Joystiq Podcast 098 - Pre-pre-E3 edition
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.

Joystiq Podcast 097 - Perfect Strangers edition
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.

Joystiq Podcast 096 - Golden Guys edition
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.

Joystiq Podcast 095 - Snacktivity edition
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? Thanks to second-week champ Conor O'Byrne for turning the J-Pod hosts into Pixel Junkies.

Joystiq Podcast 094 - Just Riffin' edition
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.

Joystiq Podcast 093 - Norbert edition
On the positive side, all three hosts stay for this entire episode of the Joystiq Podcast. On the negative side ... well, all three hosts stay for the entire episode. 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.

Joystiq Podcast 092 - Sequel edition
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.

Joystiq Podcast 091 - Disconnected edition
Flush with energy after GDC, and rich with all the game design lessons they learned, the guys talk about the future of your favorite console and that game that you like so much. ... Also, Justin leaves about halfway in, so he's not sure exactly what they talked about. Sorry. Thanks to the JPAG's Louis Senkowsky for the completely anonymous image.

Joystiq Podcast GDC '09 Special 03
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.
