I always use subtitles. I have two kids and a wife. So when the kids are being kids and the wife is giving me a list of chores to do, I can still tell what's going on in the game : )

I call bullshit to 99% of the "don't buy at gamestop" comments here, simply because they're still in business. Mom and Dad don't shop at gamestop, the casuals don't shop at Gamestop, it's the people that are serious about games and know about preorders...pretty much the same people that read sites like Joystiq. So enough with the "oh gamestop they're so evil I NEVER GO THERE PROMISE" comments.

I'd be so happy i'd make peepee in my pants

First of all, they use the royal "we" all the time, not just in Activision posts. If you ever see a post on here about them hiring writers, they usually ask for a sample post in the typical Joystiq style. Said style meaning they use the collective "we" instead of "I". I searched for the posts, but it didn't give a specific example, so I think I heard it Chris Grant explaining it on the podcast.

Secondly, your freakout about Joystiq slamming DJ Hero is unfounded. Why don't you finish reading the sentence you quoted...we'll wait. Notice the link? The link to the article where a Joystiq writer praised the game and in fact, said, "DJ Hero isn't just a shameless cash-in on one of the gaming industry's largely untapped cultures. It's a completely original and entertaining take on the rhythm genre with vast amounts of potential, and I can't wait to see what the full version of the game has to offer." And the writer of the above article even states that theintro video has "us" pumped. OH GOD another form of the royal "we".
THE HORROR.

In conclusion, get the sand out of your vagina.

Yeah, I'm a week late. Sorry. But man, this was an excellent show. This is the second time i've heard Mr. Hinkle on the podcast recently, and he's good. Funny AND knowledgeable. Besides, you can't go wrong with Billy Ocean. I always like hearing Griffin on the podcast. His laugh makes me laugh. But my highest praise goes to the bossman, (not the Big Bossman of WWE fame) Chris Grant. Chris, I don't know if you had a few beers in you or what, but you seemed much more relaxed on this episode. Several really funny lines, you kept the show moving, and overall it was a pleasure listening to you. Keep up the good work guys!

Really? So if it was your 16 year old daughter, you'd be perfectly ok with this? I doubt that. Regardless of what the attendent said specifically, it's inappropriate and it looks bad for the company when your employees harass your customers.

"How big can football get?" Big enough to cause mass riots where people get trampled to death.

Apparently Xzibit was consulted during the making of this game.

YO DAWG I heard you like perks so we put some perks in your perks.

I'm sure all the all the cute comments are funny to the writers, but it's very confusing to the readers who are not there or who have missed the beginning. "Nano has price drop!" "Just kidding" "Nano is a tiny tablet!" "Just kidding" get real annoying real fast.

No one is forcing you to buy it and no one is forcing you stay at your so-called "parties" with your so-called "friends".
