Podquisition 237: HBO's Roomful Of Dicks

too many willies and they'd have to pay the genital jousting guys a royalty fee

Excellent start to my Friday today guys. Spent about 10 minutes laughing at the idea of that locker room 🤣

<i>"You can't go back in there anymore because it did a big blow-up,"</i> - <b>an extract from Chernobyl's Wikipedia page, as expertly written by by veteran Wiki editor Laura Kate Dale (2019)</b> Funny thing with Podquisition, I was drawn to it (like pretty much everyone else here) by the prospect of hearing Jim Sterling's hot takes on the state of gaming. Now I mostly come here to see how Laura can arrange otherwise mundane words into something amusing, and Gavin's dulcet tones - I loved how resigned he sounded when he said "I suppose we should talk about video games..." x3 Also, in regards to the Euphoria thing that Laura googled, what made them decide to keep in thirty fully rendered explicit willies in the locker scene, but then edit out the other fifty? Was there some meeting that took place where some producer said "I get what we're going for, but eighty willies is fifty willies too many..." EDIT: One hundred and ten willies?!

Fantastic! The pre-game discussion was so much fun. My god. 😂 Definitely gonna pick up Cadence of Hyrule, especially because it's a bit less punishing than Crypt of the Necrodancer. 🙂 So how does Gearbox get rid of Randy Pitchford? Like really? $15 million straight to Randy? I'm sorry, PEMM. Ugh. Corporate law is so sketchy. :/ I'm sad because I'm not going to be picking up Borderlands 3 because of all of this Eddings/Pitchford/millions/Troy Baker stuff. It sucks because I love 1 and 2. But damn if I'll financially support such garbage behavior. Same goes for Cyberpunk 2077, but instead of a crazy CEO, it's suspect representation of marginalized people and crunch. And I'm not making judgement calls against those who are still excited for these games and buying them. I understand buying them. They look amazing.

Huh, no description. I do not know what to expect from this podcast.
