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.

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.

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! (This week's thunderous photochopping comes to us from JPAG member Danny Lujan. Thanks, Dan!)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.)

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.

It's been a crazy week, what with the release of Metal Gear Solid 4, big changes at Microsoft and a slew of new Xbox 360 RPGs being announced. But, as always, we're there to cradle your head, explain it all to you and tell you everything's going to be alright.
Oh, and once again we have to thank thank the JPAG's Wesley Johnson for his Beatles-ispired photoshopping.

Christopher is off the grid this week, so you're going to have to put up with young Griffin McElroy in his stead. Luckily, we've got plenty of entertainment in store with impressions and hands-ons of Bionic Commando, Resident Evil 5, Dark Void and a lot more. We also receive some of our best emails ever.
Oh, and we would be remiss if we didn't thank the JPAG's Wesley Johnson for his incredible photochoppin' work this week.

So we made it to episode 50 and then what? How do we follow up pure awesome? Easy, we don't! Want to know what Justin's cell phone sounds like? Yeah, we've got it. Want to know what Ludwig doesn't sound like? Well, we've got that too. But that's not all, people. We cover some of the biggest stories of the week, give away a pirate ship, and read your emails. It's a strange, new world. Episode 51 ahoy!
