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.

Joystiq Podcast GDC '09 Special 02
After yesterday's chip-crunching debacle, Justin fired his own boss and brought in Joystiq's Kevin Kelly and Alexander Sliwinski to replace him. Now, you can thrill as they discuss the latest GDC happenings, from the Nintendo keynote to parties to which they were not invited. Thanks to Mike Santos for the lovely image.

Joystiq Podcast GDC '09 Special 01
Chris and Justin landed in San Francisco for GDC yesterday, but they fought through their jet lag to bring you a show, brief though it may be. So, if you want to hear all that we're legally allowed to tell you about Brütal Legend, Ninja Gaiden Sigma II and how consoles as you know them are dead ... or not, you need to tune in.

Joystiq Podcast 090 - Funny voices edition
For some reason, this episode has a higher quotient of funny voices than any in recent memory. Also, we talk about Resident Evil 5, The Path, Metal Gear Solid Touch and the E74 hubbub. Thanks to recurring photoshop star Mike Santos for the image and to Billy Tisano for bringing us a message from Gov. Schhwartzzeneggar.

Let's play ... Spot the Real Wii or DS Game!
Hey gang. After checking out this staggering release list, we played a hot new game on the Joystiq Podcast this week. It was such a hoot, we encourage you to do the same with someone you love. Here are the rules: In Round 1, you're trying to pick the one real game among the fakes. In Round 2, you're trying to find the fake amongst all the real games. In the Lightning Round, you just have to identify each game as real or fabricated. Then, see how you rate! 0-5 -- You're a Nintendolt 6-11 -- You did NintendOK 12-17 -- You Nintendidit! Let us know how it goes!
Joystiq Podcast 087 - SaFUNri edition
What's on it? The better question about this week's episode of the Joystiq Podcast? What isn't on it? Do you want a guest appearance by 50 Cent? Done. Want to know our thoughts on his game in even more detail? You got it. Want to test your skills at distinguishing between real and fake awful Wii and DS games? Your wish is our command.

Joystiq Podcast 086 - MC Trustworthy edition
- It's Friday, and isn't it time you treated yourself to a Joystiq Podcast, haven't you earned it? Of course you have. Don't you want to know what Chris thinks about Halo Wars, or which member of the G-Unit Justin's going to be relying on? Aren't you worth that?

Joystiq Podcast 084 - Natives are restless edition
Here we are again, after several odd weeks, with the original team and another Joystiq Podcast. But now, when you listen to the show, you're not just laughing, learning and growing. You're listening to the best podcast on the planet. Don't you deserve the finer things in life? Of course you do. Thanks to Robin Gillham for the podcast art. We can only imagine what an honor it must be for him to be associated with the best podcast on the planet. [Update: We think we've got it all figured out (thanks, RazorD) but iTunes may take a day or so to figure it out.

Joystiq Podcast 083 - Au revoir Ross Miller edition
First, apologies for the delay! Mr. McElroy is without his 'nets so, that left a woefully ill-equipped me to handle editing duties. To make up for the delay, we've assembled some Joystiq Podcast Appreciation Group-goodies for everyone. With Justin out, we asked the JPAG hosts to fill in with their own, stirring rendition of Justin's trademark intro. Honestly, we're not sure how we'll go back to the old way of doing things. And above: a collage of folks encouraging us to "Fire Justin McElroy" at the UK JPAG meetup. We didn't realize the University of Kentucky had so many listeners ... Lastly, we're joined by Joystiq's Ross Miller on his very last day at the 'Stiq. He's been here longer than almost everyone (combined!) and – we don't know about you guys – but we're going to miss him! Enjoy (and big thanks to JPAGer James Lockwood for the pics)!

Joystiq Podcast 080 - Show of the Year edition
We kick off the New Year with what has got to be the oddest episode of the Joystiq Podcast yet. In just two hours, a FedEx guy kidnaps Ludwig, Griffin and Justin tell how their dad almost stopped Hannah Montana before she began (which prompts the Jonas Brothers to travel back in time to kill him), and we pick apart our own Top 10 list. It's nutty. Thanks to JPAG member Danny Lujan for indirectly providing the podcast art with the awesome Secret Santa gift he made.

Joystiq Podcast 077 - Quincying edition
Click to embiggen. This week, whether you want to or not, you'll be introduced to Griffin's horrifying practice of "Quincying" in PlayStation Home, the tools of which you can see right after the break. There's also all the usual crud, including a BWF, Killjoy, Tip 'o the Week, and a ton of your emails. Thanks once again to Teylor Smirl for the stellar (or is that interstellar?) art.

Joystiq Podcast 075 - Slack Friday edition
It's Black Friday, and we're celebrating by not trying any harder than normal, hence the title. We still manage to do a long one though, with discussion of why we're not sorry for our Wii complaints, Mirror's Edge, Left 4 Dead and an interview with some of the crew from LoadingReadyRun's "Desert Bus For Hope." Justin would also like to congratulate himself for conning his sister-in-law Teylor Smirl into creating this week's artwork.

Joystiq Podcast 072 -- New Joystiq Podcast Experience edition
We're still talking about NXE, but we're also delving into Ludwig's love affair with Far Cry 2, why Justin thinks his brother is a dipshit and way too much personal information about all of your hosts' pets for no real reason. In short: It's another Joystiq Podcast. Except this time you can win a bunch of Gears of War 2 crap. How? You needs to listen.
