Joystiq Podcast - PAX 2009 edition
Team Joystiq is coming at you straight from PAX, and they've been doing a lot more than forcing people to do David Caruso imitations. Well, a little more. If you're looking for the scoop on Diablo III, Assassin's Creed II, MAG and others, your ears need search no longer. And yes, they brought the sound effect with them, so stop asking.

Joystiq Podcast PAX special coming tomorrow
These are trying times for the Joystiq Podcast, with host Chris Grant off in Seattle for PAX, while Justin and Ludwig continue to toil endlessly on their more electronic-indie-pop side project, The Postal Service. So, this week, instead of the usual Friday show, we'll be bringing you a special ... special directly from PAX on Saturday with Chris, the Xbox 360 Fancast's Richard Mitchell, Kevin Kelly, Griffin McElroy and some very special guests.It should be noted that the guys haven't actually told us there will be any special guests, but we're hoping we can goad them into finding some if we say it in a post. Don't let us down, guys.
Joystiq Podcast 107 - Horatio edition
Sure, there's more Batman: Arkham Asylum, you have to expect that. But there's also price drop talk, a first-hand account of GamesCom madness from our own Alexander Sliwinski, some sad news for Maxis and, of course, your emails and voicemails. And sorry to disappoint, but we skip the Megan Fox story. All apologies. On a happier note, you have the amazing Zachary Tuttle to thank for this week's podcast art, the larger version of which you can find right here. [Update: OK, gang, if you got the 46 minute version from iTunes, delete and redownload and you should be all set.

Joystiq Podcast 106 - Crackpot or crockpot edition
The most shocking thing about the episode is not the introduction of the Joystiq emergency hotline or our on-site report from BlizzCon. No, the most shocking thing is that we somehow avoid talking about how much we love Batman: Arkham Asylum for the full two hours. Spoiler alert: Very much. Also, shaving is discussed in detail.

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. [Update: If you've had trouble downloading the podcast, you should try again. It should be working OK now. Update 2: So, we uploaded once again.

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 099.5 - Get Off Our Lawn edition
[Update: There were two (2!) different problems with this week's cast. If you've encountered either 1) a truncated file or 2) complete, eerie silence then redownload the file from iTunes. It should see the new version and pull it down. Any other issues, grab the actual MP3 below. Let us know if you're still having trouble in the comments and we'll do our best to assist.] With Justin out this week – undoubtedly with a liver full of West Virginia moonshine – the remaining podcast hosts have tapped one Mr. JC Fletcher to bring his formidable video game knowledge (not to mention formidable facial hair!) to the show. The missing host? Face as smooth as a baby's underarm. JC? Grizzled. Think new Max Payne ... but even grittier. And with an esoteric Japanese video game t-shirt on. And ... uh ... thanks (?) to Alan Black for the 'chop ... and for scaring everyone on the internet by showing us what Mount Rushmore's icons would look like if they had teeth. And were totally bald (I'm bald-ING, thankyouverymuch!).

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?

Joystiq Podcast E309 - Carl's Jr. edition

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.
