It continues.

I'm as surprised as anyone that we actually stuck to our guns and recorded another videogame movie commentary exactly when we said we would. Either way, it's here. It's not as good as the Street Fighter movie commentary, of course, but it's not bad. Get it here.

No highlights this time, as the entire thing is basically just one big running stream of weird riffs and offensive jokes. I will say that Guncannon's "you've lost your balls" riff is as close as we can get to announcing a best listener question. Email podtoid@destructoid.com and we'll talk.

If that header image offends you, this week's episode of Podtoid isn't going to be much more enjoyable for you. This week, the entire cast minus Samit talked about writing in videogames, Twitter etiquette, and the unusual allure of Suda 51. We also made fun of dead people.

You can listen to it here, as usual, or subscribe to us on iTunes.

Highlights include:

- Jim-as-Samit

- I've actually sort of forgotten what we talked about apart from the basic news stories

- Something about integrating writers into the production process earlier

- Then a lot of jokes about Billy Mays

- BILLY MAYS HERE

This week's most interesting question came from Kpax, if only because it allowed us to do something we never, ever, ever do: talk about Half-Life 2.

This was sort of a listener-question-only episode because of the slow news week, except Samit found some news to talk about, so maybe it isn't a listener-question-only episode. Either way, you can listen to it here, as usual, or subscribe to us on iTunes.

Highlights include:

- Brad loves his nickname

- Bloodsport

- The importance of E3

- The Pro-Samit Alliance will fall

The most interesting question came from Necro-Bestial Anal Butt Sex, which is a name that's as fun to type as it is to mispronounce. Send an email to podtoid@destructoid.com and we'll get in touch with you about your prize.

This week, Podtoid was initially supposed to talk about stuff like Mirror's Edge 2 and random news stories, but we got sidetracked discussing Psychonauts and the original Half-Life. Whether this makes the show better or worse is up to you.

You can listen here, as usual, or subscribe to us on iTunes. Highlights include:

- Even when Samit says nothing of sports, he is crucified

- Evidently, Prototype is way better than inFAMOUS

- Why didn't you save us, Milla

- The cast discusses Half-Life for a while -- if you're still playing the Podtoid drinking game, you'll be dead before we reach the mid-show break

- Other worlds than these

- Hot New GrafiX, with a capital X

This week's most interesting question came from wanderingpixel. Send an email to podtoid@destructoid.com, Mr. Pixel, and we'll send some swag your way.

Podtoid returns after a two-week hiatus, and what do we spend the majority of the episode talking about? Brad Nicholson's guns, obviously. And some slightly tangential stuff regarding the 2009 E3 Business & Media Summit.

But mostly the guns.

You can listen here, as usual, or subscribe to us on iTunes. Highlights include:

- I've got a video Podtoid on my hard drive, and you will never (want to) see it

- Samit and Jim: BFF

- Outsourcing, motion control, and sudden sequels

- The rebirth of stealth

- PAX: A John Hughes film

This week's most interesting question came from reamsower, primarily because we touched on 90% of the listener questions in our regular discussion. Send an email to podtoid@destructoid.com with your mailing address and we'll send you stuff.

Yay.

You can listen to it here, or subscribe to us on iTunes.

- Do you people really want a Sportstoid podcast? Really?

- Adam Dork's Podtoid soundboard

- We retrospect the hell out of everything

- Why the hell is Topher on this podcast

- Samit is the new Tiff

This week's swag bag goes to Okstuke, because I couldn't pronounce his name and tried to excuse it with a racist comment.

Thanks for listening, guys.

Also, attached is a picture of Brad Nicholson's guns.

Hi everyone. Ashley Davis here, filling in for Anthony Burch. Not on the podcast itself, just on the posting of Podtoid 99 to the Internet. He left me with only one specific instruction: "Just use some picture of Samit for the Podtoid header." So I used this lovely piece from Dexter345 because it makes me laugh.

I don't really know what this episode entails otherwise, so no actual show notes, unfortunately. Anthony just wanted me to get this thing up for you guys, so that's what I'm doing. Hope you guys enjoy whatever this is!

This week, Brad Nicholson replaced Aaron Linde. In case you don't end up listening to the episode, just imagine a regular Podtoid episode and replace all uses of the word "boner" with "pecs."

As always, you can listen to the new episode here. Highlights include:

- Jim Sterling, King of Videogames Forever

- Metal Gear Solid 2 is bad, Jim is stupid

- Console-exclusive DLC

- Podtoid is recession-proof

- Lego Rock Band sounds ridiculous, no wait kinda cool, no wait ridiculous

- Post-show meat sweats

This week's most interesting question came from GoJohnnyGo. Just send your mailing address to podtoid@destructoid.com and we'll send you a Dtoid swag bag.

The entire regular cast is back for Podtoid 97, and we discussed everything...and nothing at all. That's how it is when you base an entire episode off listener questions, and then refuse to edit out the twenty to thirty minutes of off-topic, behind-the-scenes banter.

You can listen to the episode here, as always, or subscribe to us on iTunes (which is even better, really). Topics of discussion included:

- Welcome to Browntown

- Starscream

- Listen to the Parakeet

- Six Days to Fallujah

- Play Runner, and don't forgive its flaws

This week's best question came from Phallus Knife Fight, who has been blessing us with insanely hilarious and/or horrifying Podtoid fan art for months now. Shoot your mailing address to podtoid@destructoid.com and we'll send you a swag bag.

There was no way Podtoid 96 would be able to adequately follow the JCVD-tacular heights Podtoid 95 achieved last week. That will surprise no one. Still, despite the absence of Raul Julia, we managed to make do.

This week, Jonathan Ross joined Aaron Linde, Jim Sterling and myself to talk about nonlinear game narratives. And penises. As always, you can listen to the new episode here or, better yet, get us on iTunes. Whatever floats your boat, really.

Discussion topics included:

- Pots and kettles

- Linde the sinner

- Our opinions on BioShock 2 are nothing, if not whatevs

- Can a player-driven story be legitimately affecting on the same level as scripted stories?

- Things about Nicole Wiebe

Podtoid 96's best -- or at least, most insane -- question came from 4knuckleshuffle. Send your mailing address to reverendanthony [a t] gmail [do t]com and we'll send you a swag bag.
