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.

Joystiq Podcast 089 - Gravity edition
Everything that old is new again. We've got a brand new intro courtesy of Jon Black and a brand new attitude. No, no, that's not true. There is new music though, which we hope you love. Again, Mike Santos provides the perfect photoshop compliment. Speaking of photoshops, we've got a bonus for you after the break, Max Varenik created the perfect game, one combining 50 Cent and Vin Diesel. Sorry world, Joystiq Publishing already has the rights.

Joystiq Podcast 088 - Hermie Hopperhead edition
The sad thing about this week's show is that no matter what's in it, it's not going to be as good as the photoshop Mike Santos made to accompany it. But dammit, we've got to try, so expect the usual silliness and discussion of X-Blades, 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand and more detailed Puzzle Quest: Galactrix diatribes than any of you probably wanted. Also: Free sex advice! Oh, and after the break, a special treat for fans of last week's "Guess the Real Wii or DS Game," box art for the completely made up Baiden Baiden: You're the Light! by friend of the show Dan Diemer.

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. Oh, and thanks to Mike Santos for cashing in on that photoshop. Get lulz or die trying! Get the podcast: [iTunes] Subscribe to the Joystiq Podcast in iTunes (it's back up, people!)

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? Oh, and thanks to the Internet's Jordan Wasilka for this street fightin' photochop. Get the podcast: [iTunes] Subscribe to the Joystiq Podcast in iTunes (it's back up, people!)

Joystiq Podcast 085 - Dedication edition
This week's all about dedication. Ludwig records a show despite the constant threat of lion attack. What's that? Dedication. Justin's there even though a tree fell through his ceiling less than 48 hours ago, and you know what that translates to? Dedication. Chris manages to be nice to a listener he disagrees with, and we don't even need to tell you what that translates to (spoiler alert: dedication). Not to mention that, as always, you'll need no small amount of dedication to make it to the end. Big thanks to Max Paolucci for the nutty image.

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 082 - Ultrastiq edition
So ... you should actually listen to this one. There are a lot of big, sweeping changes coming to the 'stiq (all good!) and if you want the inside line, you need to put this show in your ear holes. The masochists among you will find that all the usual stupid stuff is also there. And thanks to Carlos Segura for our striking podcast art.

Joystiq Podcast 081 - Competent edition
Well, we're back with another week of whatever it is we do. We've got D-list internet celebrity look-a-likes, a winner of our customized Joystiq Podcast headphones, a mid-show giveaway of a free Carneyvale: Showtime code (going to the first person who can find it in the show), new bumpers and tons more madness. Also, Justin does the stupid thing he promised to do if Fallout 3 wasn't Game of the Year. Thanks to Dan Diemer for the photoshopping.

Joystiq Podcast CES 2009 Special
With Justin back from CES we can present this slightly belated wrap-up of all last week's events, including the Consumer Electronics Show and the 1UPocolypse that's still producing shockwaves. On that note, thanks to Dan Diemer for his 1UP tribute, which you can find at the end of the show. It's not all sad news, though, as listeners have a chance to win the Joystiq Podcast customized headphones from our friends at iFrogz you can see right after the break.

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 078 - Holiday Spectacular edition
"A spectacular? Really?" We understand your doubt, but a spectacular is exactly what you're getting. How's about a visit from exiting President George W. Bush? How about words of love and intimidation from one Nico Bellic? A Soulja Boy exclusive? How about holiday memories from the Joystiq family of listeners? Like we said ... spectacular. Also ... Triple Quincy. All we're saying. Also, stay tuned to the very end to find out how you can help out a great cause. Thanks to the JPAG's Brian Weis for the image!

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 076 - JPAGPJAG edition
True story: Moments after Randall Smith posted this picture of his gorgeous Joystiq Podcast Appreciation Group Podcast Joystick, Wesley Johnson started the Joystiq Podcast Appreciation Group Podcast Joystick Appreciation Group. Yes: The JPAGPJAG. God bless you, Facebook, you're so stupid. Also, there's a new podcast.

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 074 - Geekadelphia edition
Well, we're back, and in fine form if we do say so ourselves. First off, we've done away with Chris "Dead Weight" Grant, making room for rising star and Geekadelphia writer Ben Gilbert. And, we've got an hour-and-a-half of delightful conversating. Is there a Brush? Of course. Is there a Tip of the Week? Try two. So yeah, it's pretty much more bacon than the pan can handle.
