Joystiq Podcast 159 - Plot twist edition

By Justin McElroy

Without our fearless leader, Chris, we've enlisted Joystiq's Most Eligible Bachelor, young Griffin McElroy. Together, he, Ludwig and Justin will talk Rock Band 3, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Harry Potter and Call of Duty: Black Ops. It's almost too much for the average listener to handle. Almost. ... Oh, and they talk about the VGA noms.

Thanks to Ahmed Drebika for this Italian-accented photoshop.
