That’s right, ladies and germs. After a near-month long hiatus due to the holiday season, Failcast returns with a vengeance! We were going to have Mollygos on the show, but something came up and she couldn’t make it, so king3vbo, Yashoki, Hitogoroshi, and Cataract (hooray no Necros!) spent the evening discussing such amazing topics as:

Steam Sale!

Magfest!

Babies!

failcast — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 18:11:09 +0000

Oh! Good evening listeners. You’re looking lovely as usual. *snicker* You know, you kids have really come a long way. You beat up the town bullies, punched them out big time, kicked their butts, bit their heads off, spit in their eyes, and made them wet their pants. At times like this, kids like you should be playing Nintendo games. But that’s not the point. We’ve got another fine episode of Failcast for your listening pleasure, even if it is a day late due to my general sucky-ness. My dad really got after me. He said I get no dessert for the rest of the decade…

Anyway, we had the amazing Scary Womanizing Pig Mask on the show. He wets his bed sometimes, but other than that, he’s a good boy. We talked about some blogs (but I can’t find the list of links I had, expect an update later), and we tore it up on this picture.

Hey there listeners! Guess what? We have two, count them, two shows for you this week. A very fun filled episode of Failcast Episode 52 and Animucast Episode 2! Thats so unlike us right? This week we answer your questions, talk about the news, and discuss the shows we’re watching with many side conversations! Join King, Yash, and special guest Stella Wong as we do our best to offend every minority ever (Inuit, we’re lookin at you).

Failcast Episode 54: The Little Episode That Could

failcast — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 18:55:09 +0000

They said it couldn’t be done; that it would never reach the surface. But we pierced the heavens with our drill, and believed in the Failcast that believes in Failcast…

Aww, who am I kidding… This one is super late on accord of our lazy and forgetful asses. Seriously, my ass forgets a lot of things. And this episode was recorded so long ago, I can’t remember what we said or did. I know that the glorious Scion of Mogo was on, and we talked about video games and the like. I think we talked about this blog and also there was this gem.

Failcast 53: HURPIN AND DURPIN

failcast — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 00:57:48 +0000

The way I see it, literally tens of listeners, there are 3 ways to fail catastrophically in this world:

1) Buy a super ultra limited edition of a video game and not play it for close to 10 months

2) Forget to press record until 6-7 minutes into the show

3) Be Necros

This episode has failed in one of these ways. I’ll let you guess which one. The be-moustached Uncle Milkshake joins king, Yashoki, Ryu89, and Cataract in another week of awful and suck, and the worst part is that you’re going to listen it. Masochists.

Failcast 52: It’s Not My First Time Edition

failcast — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 18:11:49 +0000

Wow, who would have guessed: thanks to me, Failcast is late again. Then again, it’s not like you listeners out there care. If you really did, you would have stopped downloading this eardrum-ruining tragedy of a podcast a long time ago. The numbers tell the story here, and there are literally tens of listeners who have spoken. Literally. Tens.

This week, oldfag Taumpy (aka Tampon) Tears joins the usual gang of Yashoki, Necros, Hitogoroshi, and kingLATEbo for another terrible episode. Even though we eventually serious up and talk about some actually important topics, the show manages to suck just as hard as always. We wouldn’t want to disappoint, after all.

Outline of the show that sucks because I’m lazy:

- “Let me guess, Kotaku”

- Community feedback

- We make fun of Necros… again (This never gets old, surprisingly)

- Bugsport expects better writing in games

- Handy writes silly stuff

- Krow calls us out, and it hurts king deeply

- A kauza cblog that we recommend you read

- Modern Warfare 2: Is it turning your children into TERRORISTS? MORE AT ELEVEN

Failcast 51: If You Die on the Show, You Die in Real Life!

failcast — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 00:21:48 +0000

So. This episode is actually from last week, since we didn’t get it out then and didn’t record an episode this week. Which means we have this awesome show which we know you’ll love, it also means that some of our topics are outdated in that special internet way where things are ancient after a week. So it goes!

Cataract subs in for Hito, Bigby is our special community guest, and the rest of the crew (Yashoki, King3vbo, and Necros) are just as self-absorbed as always. Outline Get!

Failcast 50: Fairy Queen Cast

failcast — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 21:52:25 +0000

Somehow, against all odds, ignoring the fact that we have all of five listeners, Failcast has managed to make it - to episode 50. Honestly, we’re as surprised as you. And in a way, we’re sort of sorry about it too. Thanks for tolerating us and even, from time to time, enjoying the trainwreck we put out here.

To celebrate, we’re releasing the episode late as always! And on this episode of Failcast is one of Modern Method’s renaissance men, Brad “DMV” Rice, an editor on Destructoid and Tomopop and editor-in-chief of Japanator. He joins the cast to talk about anime, being around near the beginning of Destructoid, and what it was like to live with Necros. Hilarity ensues. Also, stay tuned for a Failcast exclusive bit of news from Niero!

Outline of Fail:

00:30 - Worst show opening ever!

05:05 - Spiders? In my vagoo?

10:30 - We talk about Chii’s Sweet Home

15:05 - Stories of Necros being a bad roommate

19:45 - We finally get to what we’re playing, NOT THAT YOU CARE

23:30 - Katawa Shoujo

30:35 - Yashoki can’t make burritos

31:40 - Japanator feedback?

32:55 - Community feedback

36:25 - Brad relates how Necros bought Halo 3

43:15 - Very old-school Dtoid anecdote

44:30 - The Stickam pic

49:10 - Regina the Bloodedge?

56:45 - Worst anime?

61:45 - Master Asia needs no ghostwriter

64:20 - Kauza doesn’t like status effects

70:35 - Failcast breaks a leak from Niero (and I don’t care what people on Failcast say, I’m pretty sure this is news to most to you)

77:10 - How people find Japanator on search engines

81:45 - Animucast was separate and can be found here

Failcast Presents - Animucast Episode 1

failcast — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 17:45:32 +0000

You’ve asked for it so we’ve giving it to you! In an effort to let old man Hitogoroshi go to bed at a decent time Yashoki in his infinite wisdom (read: Taco Stash) has convinced King3vbo, Necros, and community guest JohnnyViral to join in on Failcast’s first ever separate Animucast! If you’ve ever heard Failcast you would know that we do a episode of Animucast every few months as the new season of Anime begins all the way in war-torn Japan. We hope to make this a more frequent Animucast but that all depends on you, dear listeners.

Give our new production a listen, let us know what you like, don’t like (saying Yashoki doesn’t count), what you would like to hear more of, and we’ll do our best to craft the best show available. If you don’t care much for Anime, go ahead and skip it. Just know that every time you deny Animucast a listen you kill a little starving Mexican child.

If you decide to listen to Animucast and wish to follow along here are the guides we will be using. We don’t discuss every show, so keep on your toes!

Failcast 49: We’re Back!

failcast — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 01:02:13 +0000

Failcast is finally back, and in characteristic Failcast fashion, we are unbelievably late with the episode. I know, you can hardly believe it, right?

Well, if you dare to download last week’s episode, we’ve actually got a pretty amazing episode prepared for you all. King3vbo is absent, but Ryu89 is here to fill in alongside Yashoki, Hitogoroshi, Necros, and this week’s special community guest Analoge. Here we go!

00:00 - NEVER UGUU AGAIN

02:55 - “Oh.” Sums up most people’s reactions

05:55 - Mass Effect > The Beatles: Rock Band?

10:00 - The value of a game’s price tag

15:05 - Community feedback

19:10 - How awesome is Tactix?

24:10 - Scary Womanizing Pig Mask gives us an awesome question, as usual

32:15 - Gran Torhito

37:50 - “About those boobs”

45:45 - We argue about the best SoulCalibur game…guess Hito’s choice!

50:25 - For the people who were wondering about the header picture of Failcast, that’s Senisan82 on the right

50:30 - Senisan82 is Ice T

55:20 - The return of Street Fighter II syndrome

60:15 - No more fire!

62:45 - We talk about the fap system implemented a little while ago

Failcast 45: SkiFree for Your Life

failcast — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 18:38:28 +0000

Failcast? On a Monday? It must be Christmas! It’s not? Well then the only explanation can be that king is LATE with his editing again. Obviously he did it on purpose because I am LAZY and LATE and things of that nature. Obviously.

This week’s (or technically last week’s depending on how you look at it) show consists of the usual debauchery, lust, and hate that all 3 of you Failcast fans have come to know and love. Our special guest is the immaculate Pangloss, who joins the usual group of Nigros, Screaming Red Face, Mexi-can’t, and LAZY NO GOOD EDITOR WHO NEEDS TO GET HIS PRIORITIES STRAIGHT.

Instead of real show notes, you get a generic outline of every Failcast episode ever

00:00 - Host says “Destructoid’s only community podcast”, lies through his teeth

00:17 - Yashoki forgets to say something when he is introduced, king makes a retarded joke and no one laughs. Hito complains about his hip and the weather

02:14 - Necros interrupts with a comment that weirds everyone out, awkward silence follows

08:48 - Yashoki and king3vbo have been playing World of Warcraft. NO ONE CARES.

09:30 - Hitogoroshi has been playing Metal Slug. EVERYONE CARES.

10:59 - Necros has not played Dead Space yet. THE JOKE IS NO LONGER FUNNY

20:X6 - Community questions, king outs himself as a pedo yet again

27:38 - WHAT’S POPPIN

30:15 - Community questions are over, a short clip of some song no one cares about plays, and everyone turns off their mp3 players because the second half is boring.

Cblog links (added by Necros):

Topher wants people to have avatars

IroN1c watches The Matrix Online die

Failcast 44: Bleh, man

failcast — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 21:36:27 +0000

Necros is seeing Harry Potter or something, so you’re all stuck with me, the illustrious and turbo-awesome king3vbo, posting the show this week. We had this guest for Failcast, he had a beard and that was pretty sweet. I can’t remember his name, but in the end it’s not important. Bleh, man. Yashoki was late, Hitogoroshi complained about kids on his lawn, and Necros failed over and over again. Typical.

Show notes because Necros told me I have to do them:

00:00 - IT BEGINS

12:345 - Everybody in the car lets go for a drive

666 - SATAN SATAN SATAN

86:75.309 - Jenny, don’t change your number

∞ - At this point we divided by zero OH SHIIIIIIIIII
