The Joystiq Podcast
In this fast-paced world of ours, we understand why you'd give up on reading. All the punctuation, all the letters, who has the time or inclination to keep track of all that? For you, the discerning, non-reading consumer, we present The Joystiq Podcast. Chris Grant, Ludwig Kietzmann and Justin McElroy not only share your distrust of the written word, they're providing a real alternative: a weekly audio show about video games.

Massively Speaking Episode 222: Trick or treat!
Never accuse us here at Massively of being prejudiced against dinosaurs. We love them. Sure, they're scaly, bitey lizard/bird/demon monstrosities, but they do make great mounts and steaks. Oh, and MMOs. We desperately need more dinos in our MMOs, which is why we applaud Wizard101 for doing so ...

Massively Speaking Episode 221: Chris Roberts, Space Interviewee
Today we have a Very Special Guest Star for a Very Special Episode: That's right, it's TV's Blossom, who's here to talk to us about the wonderful changes the human body goes through during puberty. No, that's next week; this week we have Wing Commander's Chris Roberts, the driving force behind ...

Massively Speaking Episode 220: BraveStarr Citizen
Is it probable, even inevitable, that we have too many great MMOs to play right now? Are the releases coming in too quickly for the average fan to process? Will Bree and Justin go mad from trying to absorb it all on top of babies and the neverending news cycle? The answer to all of these is ...

Massively Speaking Episode 219: Kickstart THIS!
Between sequels, Kickstarter projects, and expansions shooting out of every developer's thinkhole, the MMO industry is changing so fast that all Bree and Justin can do is ride the wave and shoot the curl. It's an all-California, all-surfer episode of Massively Speaking brought to you by Point ...

Massively Speaking Episode 218: Pandamonium
When the crate of baby pandas from Blizzard arrived at the Massively offices, we were all gushing over the cuteness. Even Eliot was seen cradling one on his way to staff meetings. But now it's out of control. Pandas freaking everywhere. It's like a Tribble explosion, except that they're out to ...

Massively Speaking Episode 217: Shawn into the sunset
With this week -- and this podcast -- Massively's Editor-in Chief Shawn Schuster departs from helming this barge of insane writers, and an era comes to an end. To mark this occasion, we invited him to join us for one last Massively Speaking with the ultimate goal of seeing whether we could get ...

Massively Speaking Episode 216: The economy show
The winds of change are blowing, and Justin and Bree have rushed outside to fly their kites because of it. In fact, change is coming not only to the Massively staff but to many of our favorite MMOs as well. Will we survive or throw a snit because we wish that life could've been frozen in time in ...

Massively Speaking Episode 215: Red sunset
A warning in advance: There might be a lot of tears on this show. Bree and Justin cope with the upcoming shutdown of City of Heroes, which marks the third of Bree's favorite games cancelled within the past year. Is there still hope from the player population, or is this a done deal? Oh my, fair ...

Massively Speaking Episode 214: Head start
It's been a long time coming for MMO fans, this day. Guild Wars 2's launch isn't just a special occasion in the community; it's the rebirth of civilization itself. It will usher in a golden era of peace, prosperity, and jumping. Bree and Justin are weeping with joy, their tears glistening with ...
