Joystiq Podcast 057 - Girls or vacations edition
We're all getting ready for E3 around the HQ, but we still took the time to talk about the paltry selection of news, which of our listeners should be set on fire and a bevy of other topics. Check it totally out. And thanks to friend of the show and JPAG member Louis Senkowsky, for his timely yet bat-tacular offering to the photochop gods.

Joystiq Podcast 056 - Womb of Freedom edition
Hooray for America! You're having another birthday and we're celebrating with another edition of the apex of your cultural contribution to the annals of history: The Joystiq Podcast. We're talking PS3 firmware 2.40, and finally picking a winner for the You Have To Write the Lyrics contest. Also, huzzah for the JPAG's Markus Wilson for his incredibly, tear-jerkingly patriotic photoshopping. Oh, and this is our first video podcast, not that you'll be able to see it.

Joystiq Podcast 055 - Public access edition
Well, you've got the Brush With Fame returning this week (pro) but we still don't have a winner for the songwriting contest (con). There's also the usual discussions about public access strippers, because it wouldn't be the Joystiq Podcast without that. And big ups to the JPAG's James Parsons, who made this week's art, which combines the album art from all the other podcasts, if you can believe that.

Joystiq Podcast Extend Extra: Metal Gear Squabbling
Now that Solid Snake's story has come to an end, some of us are still having a hard time dealing with the loss. James has begun living on the New York City streets in his cardboard box costume and Chris just screams "SSNNNAAAKKKUUU!" at the stars every night. But some members of the Joystiq family have gotten proactive, talking out their thoughts on the series instead of bottling them up inside. So, join Joystiq's Ludwig Kietzmann and Ross Miller, and Nintendo Wii Fanboy's David Hinkle as they discuss their final thoughts on MGS 4, their hopes for the future of the series and just generally take an hour-long trip to Nerdtown. (Oh, they're also going to Lower Spoilersburg, so if that's a locale you want to avoid, you should spend your eartime elsewhere.)

Joystiq Podcast 054 - World exclusive edition
Well, Chris is out gallivanting across the country again, and (surprising no one) he's not allowed to talk about what he's doing. But we still find plenty to talk about, like secret 360 leaks, Joystiq apologies, favorite breakfast cereals and Metal Gear Solid 4. It makes sense in context, promise. This week, we also have to thank the JPAG's Markus Wilson for capturing us at work on our mid-Atlantic oil tanker.

Joystiq Podcast 052 - Don't Chew Dare edition
var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/podcasts/joystiq'; Christopher is off the grid this week, so you're going to have to put up with young Griffin McElroy in his stead.

Joystiq Podcast 049 - Ruined edition

Joystiq Podcast 048 - You have to burn the show edition
Sadly, Ludwig couldn't join us this week, but not sadly, the show is much better without him (by which we mean shorter). We're talking new Prince of Persia this episode as well as (surprise) Grand Theft Auto IV. Also, in a shocking non-video game related turn, Justin shares his experiences with the highly-coveted Risk: Black Ops. Then, towards the end, two huge contests that could net you a DS Lite, a copy of GTA IV or several other prizes. Check it totally out, especially if you're a songwriter!

Joystiq Podcast 046 - Bullets are bad edition
A slow news week for us means a bunch of nonsense for podcast fans. We're talking Spider-Man, Soul Calibur IV, politics (sort of), how we met TED, and why your head just got incrementally less useful thanks to Boom Blox.

Joystiq Podcast 044 - Le Joystique edition
We're celebrating April Fool's Day by delivering a show that's not particularly funny. April Fool's! ... No, actually, it's not. But we make up for it with lots of content! Quantity over quality, that's our motto.

Joystiq Podcast 042 - Mostly harmless edition
First off, allow us to apologize for the headline. This is a video game site after all, we have to make some concessions to the nerd populace. The last thing we want to do is wake up with Tom Baker's head in our bed. This week, we're talking a bit more Army of Two, Rock Band hotness and FPS map packs, as well as answering your emails.

Joystiq Podcast 041 - Army of Three edition
As you probably guessed from the title, we're talking some Army of Two this week, as well as continuing to ponder the EA/Take2 merger deal. Also, we've got emails, Brushes With Fame and a fantastic story about Peter Molyneux. Oh, and the best intro evar. Peep and enjoy. Also, on a somewhat related note, be sure to check out the Joystiq Podcast Facebook group. We're as shocked by its very existence as you are.

Joystiq Podcast 040 - Over the Hill edition
Finally! A week chock full of news, just itching to be casted about. And there to help serve as your guide is Griffin McElroy, filling in for Ludwig after he came down with a nasty case of being eaten by a tiger. Not only do we talk news and get a special (if brief) introduction from Ray Muzyka, but the bear/bird/backpack controversy comes to a close (we hope) and there are two Brushes. For real. Also, special thanks to Evan Minto (a.k.a Vampt Vo) of Ani-Gamers for that sweet, sweet image.
