Podtoid 376: Ugly Baby Poo Colored Balls

This episode marks the end of an era. Steven Hansen, host of Podtoid for the past year or so, is leaving Destructoid. Podtoid will go into remission for a bit, until it springs up again when you least expect it.

On this episode, Steven Hansen, Brett Makedonski, Darren Nakamura, and Ray Porreca talk about prison, weddings, Cuphead, Golf Story, horror movies, and what's next on the agenda.

Of course, the episode rounds out with some listener questions, the last (unfair) round of SATPOTPAQ, and the last (very fair) round of the Hot Dish. It's about communism!

Bungie's loved/hated shared world shooter series just saw its second full release with Destiny 2. How'd it turn out?

Jordan Devore, Darren Nakamura, and Ray Porreca gathered around the broken fountain on The Farm to talk about luminous engrams, Dominus Ghauls, and Frumious Blue. Also, how Hunters are the best class, and Nightstalker is the best subclass.

Later on answered a few listener questions, then capped off the episode with a Hot Dish revolving around the glorious idea of putting Asher Mir into a rocket ship and shooting him to some far off land. Seriously, the dude sucks.

PAX West 2017 just finished, and we've got some tales to tell of our time up there. Steven Hansen, Brett Makedonski, and Darren Nakamura talk a little bit about the best and worst of PAX West, including hanging out with Taco Bell PR and staying in a fake Airbnb.

Game highlights include Final Fantasy XV, Celeste, Kentucky Route Zero, and Where the Water Tastes Like Wine. Non-game highlights include a ringing endorsement for beef jerky and a discussion on road trips.

We bring back a segment of Metacritic Morons for Destiny 2's launch, answer some listener questions, and of course, round out the episode with a SATPOTPAQ and a PAX-themed Hot Dish. Give it a listen!

Look, it's late, I still need to pack for PAX, and thus, I have no idea what's in this episode of Podtoid. The title was taken from the first soundbite I randomly checked. It's a grab bag! I'll hear it in full for the first time on my plane flight to Seattle. Hopefully it's good!

But seriously I think Steven Hansen, Brett Makedonski, and Ray Porreca briefly talked about Mario + Rabbids. Then they probably did listener questions and a SATPOTPAQ.

Next episode we'll actually have video game stuff to talk about from PAX. It'll be good. But maybe this one is good too!

It's been a few weeks, so we're rolling four deep. You got your Steven Hansen, your Brett Makedonski, your Darren Nakamura, AND your Ray Porreca. It's 33% more Podtoid Boy for your ears.

The crew mostly talked about recent travels to bachelor parties and Mexico. Darren hasn't been anywhere interesting lately, but he is going to the path of totality for the solar eclipse on Monday. Maybe this whole post should be about how the solar eclipse is when the moon is between the sun and the earth. Perhaps Steven would learn something.

Otherwise, we talked about Sonic Mania and Tacoma, then rounded out the episode with the ol' listener questions, SATPOTPAQ, and a U.S. state-themed Hot Dish.

Another long summer week without much happening, another episode where the Podtoid crew kind of just shoots the breeze for 45 minutes before finally talking about a video game. Steven Hansen, Brett Makedonski, and Ray Porreca hit a potpourri of topics including ranking frozen pizza brands, how to make money on YouTube, The Mooch (who is already outdated since this recording), Early 1900s women's fashion, how to remove a human head, why anabolic steroids are good actually, and whether Floyd Mayweather can read and write.

Eventually, the topic rolls around to the upcoming sequel Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, which Steven previewed a while back but only now can talk about.

Of course, the episode rounds out with listener questions (including a very good question about artificial meat asked by a presumably handsome individual) and SATPOTPAQ. Listen up!

Oh boy, it's a slow week for video games, which means it's a great week for just hanging out and talking about whatever comes to mind. These include topics such as Geoff Keighley being video games' press secretary and how being Twitter verified allows freedom to be an asshole.

There was some video game talk, like our new YouTube Channel Dtoid Fights, which currently has streams of the D-Team running around in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. Look for more there.

There was also some Destiny 2 beta talk, but Darren's unscrupulous captors only allowed him about a minute to talk about that.

After that were some listener questions about the upcoming PAX West thing, the weekly SATPOTPAQ, and a Podtoid Hot Dish focused on the moon.

We're back from break! Or some of us are. In this episode, Steven Hansen, Brett Makedonski, and Ray Porreca reminisce on the past month or so since they last got together and talked like good podcast boys.

Some of the games they talked about were PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, Micro Machines, Get Even, and of course, Rocket League. Get Steven and Brett together and they're going to talk about Rocket League. It's like a running joke that isn't funny.

Other topics include Brett's new PC, how quickly Steven poops, and how a blast from a powerful jet engine could kill you. Listen up!

On this episode of Podtoid, the crew gets a new nickname in "The Melty Boys," but mostly Steven Hansen and Brett Makedonski talk about their escapades at E3 2017. Darren Nakamura joins to inject how things looked from the outside, and also to bring his special brand of handsomeness and class.

Games mentioned are Super Mario Odyssey, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, Metal Gear Survive, Anthem, and Destiny 2.

The episode caps off with some listener question quick hits, a productive round of SATPOTPAQ, and a Hot Dish featuring words with three E's in them.

On this episode of Podtoid, Steven Hansen, Brett Makedonski, and Ray Porreca gear up for E3 next week. They give their predictions and hopes, and decide what the big three platform holders will have to do in order to "win" E3.

Outside of that, there's also some discussion on bad science, conspiracy theories, Donkey Kong fanfic, and some probably sacrilegious heresy. Of course, there are some listener questions thrown in there, and the episode caps off with SATPOTPAQ. Listen before E3!
