Joystiq Podcast 126 - Patrick Duffy edition
We thought for a change we'd fill a show to the brim with hot, steamy quality. This week, that means more MAG and Mass Effect 2 chat, a Dragon Age: Origins Spoiled Rotten, your emails, PAX East planning and so much more. And yes, there are probably one too many jokes about Patrick Duffy. Thanks to Markus Wilson for the nutted-up photoshop.

Joystiq Podcast 125 - Sportsball Basketson edition
Is it possible to have a show just too crammed with greatness? We've got impressions of Mass Effect 2 and MAG, a Tip of the Week, Stump JC, a Spoiled Rotten for Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, a mixed sports metaphor, an interview with GoG's Tom Ohle, and so, so, so much more. It's silly. Thanks to Kyle Collis for his photoshopping use of functionalist nudity. Justin Russo's alternate European box art is after the break.

Joystiq Podcast 124 - Origami bazooka edition
We've got a packed show this week with some details on our PAX East plans, some very non-embargo breaking impressions of Mass Effect 2, a Tip of the Week, and a brand new feature called "Spoiled Rotten," where we'll have a secret chat about a game exclusively for people that have solved that particular tape. First up? Dark Void. Thanks to the incredible Bill Mudron for the podcast art which, we're told, is comprised almost entirely of Omnigel.

Joystiq Podcast 123 - 456 edition
This week we welcome a special guest to the show, Justin Russo, who won his spot by helping out fellow JPAGger Wesley Johnson to get a dead guy's gums grafted onto his own. But it's not just a show about him, we've got tons of discussion about the new Assassin's Creed, hug chat with Ken Levine, alleged Rockstar shadiness and Dark Void. Plus there's Tip O' The Week, Stump JC and all the usual garbage. Enjoy. Oh, and thanks to Mike Suszek for the unfunny but inexplicably popular photoshop.

Joystiq Podcast 122 - iGUGU Gamecore edition
It's our first podcast of the New Year and we're spending a little too much time defending our Game of the Year selections. But we're also talking Bayonetta and Darksiders, so we're not solely dwelling in the past. Also, we've got some details about how you can come eat some Blueberry Muffintops with Team Joystiq this March. Plus: iGUGU Gamecore! P.S.

Joystiq Podcast Holiday Funanza 2009
Finally, the Holiday Funanza has arrived! We've got some wonderful music and a ton of your holiday memories to help put us into the giving spirit, all accompanied by Raymond Ocdol's humbug of a photoshop.

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.

Joystiq Podcast 119 - Simply2Chaotic edition
The video game release schedule may be winding down, but we're most certainly not, with all the Saboteur, Assassin's Creed 2 and Bayonetta impressions that you crave. Oh, and there's a Blueberry Muffin Tops contest you have to get involved in. Also, we're in debt to Christopher Schons who made the above totally radical, Dragon Age-inspired artwork. You should go to his site right now and pay him to do things. Here's a bigger version, suitable for framing.

Joystiq Podcast 118 - Big Country edition
A super big show this week as we welcome both your hostile criticism of our Left 4 Dead 2 review and Cheap Ass Gamer founder CheapyD for an exhaustive discussion of Black Friday deals. There's also still a ton to say about Assassin's Creed 2, Modern Warfare 2 and Dragon Age: Origins. And thanks to resident photochop champ Alan Black who, we're told, sparkles in the daylight.

Joystiq Podcast 117 - Call of Warfare edition
We've finally ditched the game talk in an effort to accommodate our beloved host. This week, it's just carpentry talk, with all the drill bit and sandpaper news you crave. If you're more interested in DJ Hero, Assassin's Creed 2 and Modern Warfare 2 chat, we might be able to squeeze in a few minutes for that too. Maybe. And thanks to Evan Hodgins for helping us to celebrate Movember, which we would otherwise be genetically unable to do.

Joystiq Podcast 116 - Canfax 720 edition
It's our angriest podcast yet as we argue about the merits of this console generation, Brutal Legend, Uncharted 2, Assassin's Creed II (barely) and the films of Gary Ross. Plus, as a special bonus, we mention having giveaway bags of Blueberry Muffin Tops cereal but completely forget to give them away. So, we'll do it right here. Comment below with your thoughts on the podcast and you could win a Brush With Fame and some of the greatest cereal on the face of the earth.

Joystiq Podcast 115 - Terrifically spookier edition
After weeks of separation and bad connections, the three regulars are together once again. We, of course, decided to mark the occasion by talking about our favorite hobbies, beloved candy bars and the swine flu. Video games are also (briefly) mentioned, but -- whenever possible -- only in the context of our other three topics. It's a great episode. We're also giving away a copy of Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 and a secret bonus game. Thanks to our horrifyingly talented photoshopper Alan Black.

Joystiq Podcast 114 - Funny last names edition
Chris is out with a flu of curiously porcine proportions and Justin is in a country with even worse internet connectivity than Ludwig's. Of course, that leaves only Ludwig ... lucky for you, he's bolstered the show with the contributions of Griffin McElroy and the omnipresent Tom Chick, video game freelancer extraordinaire. Mr Chick is perhaps best known for his cameo on Joystiq Podcast 113, where he (inadvertently) played the role of "Games Reviewer We Disagreed With Regarding Uncharted 2." Tune in for the thrilling confrontation! Thanks to Zachary Tuttle for photo-documenting our road trip, seen above.

Joystiq Podcast 113 - Plunger McGillicutty edition
The fall onslaught is fully upon us, and we've got some big discussions for all the big games. So, if you've had a hankering for our take on Brütal Legend, Uncharted 2 or Axel and Pixel, you should already be downloading. Also, we've got the first fake Visceral games and they are a-mazing.

Joystiq Podcast 112 - Visceral edition
A true trans-global podcast this week, as we record from two separate Third World countries to bring you the latest in gaming news. What better place could there be? We're talking about Wet, Jump! and other games that don't sound dirty when you put them next to each other. Oh, and thanks to your friend and ours Tyler Miller for the socially diverse photoshop.

Joystiq Podcast 111 - Get into my Blast Corps edition
Things are a little different this week: Justin's on his way to Honduras (true story!) and Ludwig is at a South African gaming expo (no, seriously) so Chris is joined by Joystiq's own Griffin McElroy and Dave Hinkle for what's sure to be remembered as the Most Important Joystiq Podcast Ever. Why? Because we talk about major flaws affecting every major gaming platform, Billy Ocean, Blast Corps, and getting served. Big thanks to podcast art perennial Alan Black for this week's pic.

Joystiq Podcast 110 - Fat City edition
We've bridged 13 time zones to bring you this particular edition of the Joystiq Podcast, with our own Ludwig Kietzmann reporting direct from the Tokyo Game Show. That means he's played and seen a ton of things you haven't (like Assassin's Creed 2 and Halo Legends) and can't wait to talk about them. Plus, we've got Halo 3: ODST discussion and we're giving away Need For Speed: Shift on the 360 (but you have to take a signed copy of Puffins: Island Adventure with it). Listen in to find out how you can win! Oh, and thanks to Mike Santos for the historically accurate photoshop.

Joystiq Podcast 109 - Porcadillo edition
We know we're always saying that we've got a good Joystiq Podcast for you, but this week we can actually say it with a straight face. We've got a lengthy Halo 3: ODST talk and the triumphant return of Spot the Real Wii or DS Game! We've also got free Uncharted 2 and MAG beta codes, should you need even more reason to listen.

With the team reunited after a two-week break, we've plenty to talk about from a visit from not-Courtney Love to a truly magical Tip of the Week filled with love and loss. We're talking about games too, including The Beatles: Rock Band, Champions Online and some Section 8. Enjoy! Thanks to Alan Black with the forensic photochopping.

Joystiq Podcast - PAX 2009 #2 edition
You knew they'd be back, right? Chris Grant, Big Kev, Dick Mitchell and Little Ditto huddle once more around the m-i-c to bring you all the comings and goings from the PAX show floor as well as impressions of Red Dead Redemption, Heavy Rain and Brink and many others.
