Joystiq Podcast 044 - Le Joystique edition

By Justin McElroy

We're celebrating April Fool's Day by delivering a show that's not particularly funny. April Fool's! ... No, actually, it's not. But we make up for it with lots of content! Quantity over quality, that's our motto. We've got a new Brush With Fame contest, audio emails, a trailer for Final Dragon, the best game never made, a reader admitting to erectile dysfunction and how video games can give you hemorrhoids.

Podcast ahoy!
