Joystiq Podcast 073 - John Davison edition
That's right, we were so excited about having a special guest that we put his name right in the headline: John Davison, boss of What They Play and former 1UPer, joins us for some spirited discussion that gets interrupted for reasons you'll discover during the show. We also have a winner of our Gears of War 2 giveaway and some gift suggestions for gamer parents. Oh, and thanks to Danny Lujan for the appropriate photoshopping.

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. Also, thanks to the JPAG's Max Paolucci for this utterly timely photoshop.

Joystiq Podcast 071 - Terrifically spooky edition
It's another jam packed fall week on the J-Pod. Chris takes an in-depth look at NXE, we all talk Fallout 3, Dead Space, Fable 2 and Far Cry 2, and Griffin gets really angry and stops in for about 15 seconds. Plus, all the usual inanity and an intro from skin-loving podcast fan Yaniv himself. Also, the JPAG's Dan Greene was at the helm for this week's photochop. Listen to last week's show if the meaning escapes you.

Joystiq Podcast 070 - The Opulence Edition
We know, we know, it's such a terrible problem to have, but we really are being overwhelmed with good games. Dead Space and FarCry 2 get the bulk of our time, but there's a little Fable 2 discussion in there for you as well. Plus: Emails, brushes, and why we'll think twice about calling someone autistic on a very special Joystiq Podcast. Oh, and you have the JPAG's Wesley Johnson to thank/blame for the photochoppin'.

Joystiq Podcast 069 - Aggro edition
We don't know exactly why but Chris and Ludwig are really at each others' throats this week, and over really important stuff too, like Silent Hill Homecoming. But, luckily, Justin has returned to the show to bathe them in soothing rays of love. This show is jam-packed with new releases, Tokyo Game Show and E For All impressions and all the usual inanity. You had better start listening. Oh, and blame Ste Birks of the JPAG for this week's REALLY unnerving photoshop.

Joystiq Podcast TGS 2008 Special
Ludwig and Chris continue their string of intimate, romantic podcasts without the anchor, the rock, the Juice: Justin McElroy. This time they've got a pretty good excuse: They're in Tokyo, and because of the time difference, actually recorded the show sometime next week. Bear with us through this trying time, and we promise things will be back to normal next week.

Joystiq Podcast 068 - Special guest edition
var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/podcasts/joystiq'; It's Friday, so you know what that means: It's podcast day! So get downloading, kick back, and listen to the soothing sounds of Chris, Ludwig, and ... well, that's it. But just because Justin isn't here this week, doesn't mean he's not here in spirit. There he is in that picture above! And we've got a couple special guests tasked with filling in his velcro shoes. We're talking about LittleBigPlanet, we're giving away LittleBigPlanet beta codes (tune in!), and we're playing the latest hit game based on the podcast. No, not Earthosaur, you nerd. It's ColorBlind so check that noise out! And thanks to hard-working man Danny from the JPAG for the pic of his totally-not-a-photoshop work shirt.

Joystiq Podcast 067 - Man crush edition
While there's definitely some discussion of man crushes, we wouldn't want you to think that's the only thing going on here -- far from it! We're also talking LittleBigPlanet, Mega Man 9, Wipeout HD and Beyond Good and Evil, of all things. Plus, Ludwig seduces a lady with just his accent and the words of Smoove B. It's magical. Oh, and welcome Ste Birks of the JPAG to the hyper-creepy photoshop club.

Joystiq Podcast 066 - Tang edition
Here's a warning: About an hour in, this podcast just becomes utter madness, so if you want to skip over it (or straight to it), there's your heads-up. Before it happens, however, we talk Warhammer Online, Feist and Force Unleashed, so you'll want to be there for that. Thanks (again) to Michael Mayne of the JPAG ,for keeping us supplied with photochops, and to videogame voice acting superstar David Sobolov for the intro.

Joystiq Podcats 065 - DRM edition
Normally, we want you to share the J-Pod with everyone you care about, but not this week. This week, inspired by the Spore DRM, you'll be limited to putting the podcast onto two different devices for a total of listens not to exceed 10. Any more than that and the podcast will become sentient and kill you. Thanks to Michael Mayne of the JPAG for the totally wizard photochopping. (We're still in need of photochops by the way, so keep them coming on the JPAG!)

Joystiq Podcast 064 - Energon edition
In this week's Allspark-powered show, we say hello to Boston PAX and 360 price cuts, goodbye to Jeff Green and "we'll probably never, ever see you" to the Buffy MMO. Also, somebody's going to win a copy of Castle Crashers, and if you don't listen, you'll never know that it's not you. Thanks to Danny Lujan of the JPAG for crunchy, reduced sodium photochopping greatness. (As an aside, we're running low on photochops, so join the group and fill the reserves!)

Joystiq Podcast 063 - S.N.A.X. edition
We've finally harnessed the power of our combined snacking knowledge to create a regular, completely non-game related segment on it. Oh, sure we're still talking about video games like Force Unleashed, Too Human and S.T.A.L.K.E.R., but snacks (S.N.A.X.?) really steal the show. Thanks to Evan Minto, Jordan Wasilka and Max Varenik of the JPAG for the trifecta of photochopping greatness.

Joystiq Podcast 062 - LaserComb edition
This show, well, it wouldn't even exist without the Leipzig Games Convention and the LaserComb. That's an incontrovertible fact. But even if you don't have any interest in either of those you'll still find Tip of the Week, emails, the Killjoy and, naturally, a b-b-Brush with Fame.

Joystiq Podcast 061 - Back to the '70s edition
Wow, this is a talky one. Luckily for you, this more than hour-and-45-minute-long show is just chock-full of content. We've got all the usual features you know and love, a curtailed discussion of cursing, the downloadable game explosion, Geometry Wars 2 protips and, puzzlingly, Chris gets more excited about a game from the early 1970s than a brand new one. Big ups to JPAG member Danny Lujan for this street-fightin' photoshop. Also, we've got a hit new helper, the Joystiq Killjoy, who fact-checked last weeks' ep. See the results after the jump.

Joystiq Podcast 060 - Potato chip war edition
Snack-themed podcast titles continue with big episode 60, which includes discussion of Grand Theft Auto IV PC, Braid, Geometry Wars 2 and so much more. There's even a fresh Tip of the Week, Brush With Fame and mind-bogglingly annoying crunching noises to kick things off right. Oh, and lest we forget, this week's absolutely horrifying Photoshop is courtesy of JPAG member Gus Falconi.

Joystiq Podcast 059 - King of Snacks edition
You may think you know who the King of Snacks is. The chubby guy, right? Well no, in fact, you're wrong. Also, you're a racist. And though we normally don't associate with your type, we've gone ahead and recorded a podcast for you to enjoy. Bear audio witness to a new Tip of the Week, the return of the Brush With Fame and some assorted gaming discussion! Bear it!

Joystiq Podcast 058 - Merchant-off edition
We are actually excited to bring you the Joystiq Podcast this week. We know, it's shocking. Not only do we start with one of the best celebrity introductions ever, we close with a battle of epic proportions. Oh, and in between, we talk about video games. Fun fact: This week's brilliant image was sent to us by Eric who, in a fit of rage, we once promised to set on fire. The resulting photoshopping made our hollow threats totally worth it.

Joystiq Podcast E308 - Grown folks edition
After a brief hiatus, we've returned with the grand finale of our E3 2008 podcasts. This one's way better, we promise. First off, we're actually talking about games. Which games, you ask? Well how about Dead Space, Mirror's Edge, Resident Evil 5, Tomb Raider: Underworld and Dark Void for starters? Yeah, we thought so. Oh, and it's not too quiet, there a bunch of embarrassing stories and no one falls asleep. So, yeah, a success all around.

Joystiq Podcast E308 - Not joking edition
For some unfathomable reason, we've recorded a second E3 2008 podcast. Not only that, but we've uploaded it onto the interweb and constructed a largely vacuous paragraph urging you to listen to the show. What can you expect? There's talk of Prince of Persia, Mirror's Edge, Tom Clancy's Endwar and boring press conferences, not to mention a strict adherence to our remarkably high audio quality and professionalism. Ahem.

Joystiq Podcast E308 - Girl talk edition
Well, we've arrived at E3 and we're currently rushing about on the show floor playing games and just generally having clean, healthy fun. But just because we're swamped doesn't mean we're not taking time out to record the Joystiq Podcast. For this first installment we took to the floor of Chris and Luddy's hotel room with Engadget's Ryan Block to dish about Microsoft and Thai food. Hope you enjoy it.
