It is Podcast Beyond episode 100 and the guys bring it strong with this fine episode. If you don’t usually follow IGN podcasts or Podcast Beyond, this is a great place to start and see what you have been missing. Also, Jeff is back for this episode since he is an integral part of the podcast’s history.
The guys take this milestone as an opportunity to look back and share some of there favorite PlayStation stories. This is dominated by PS2 launch stories. When you hear the guys talking about the early PS2 days it makes you realize how long ago that really was. There are a lot of great stories here.
The whole last 3rd of the show is taken up by the guys giving a call to readers who wrote in with questions and this results in some comedic gold. How some of these guys can understand what the crew is saying is amazing.
Greg and Ryan bring a very special song at the end that is surprising good, and bad at the same time, but that’s just the Podcast Beyond crew does it.
Covered games and topics: News, releases, interview with Naughty Dog’s Evan Wells on Uncharted 2, Comic-Con with Greg Miller, PS2 launch stories, call from PS blog’s Jeff Rubenstein, PS memories, calling readers, songs
They doubted Beyond. They said it couldn’t be done. They claimed the PlayStation Team would never make it. They were terribly, horribly wrong. Podcast Beyond is 100 today. Chris, Greg, Ryan and Sam are joined by former Beyonders Jeff Haynes and Jeremy Dunham to celebrate what could be the greatest podcast of all time. On today’s show, the PlayStation Team gives birth to epic dreams and whimsical delights, while enjoying a gracious call from Naughty Dog’s Evan Wells and a quick cameo by the PlayStation Blog’s Jeff Rubenstein. The team even calls you, the listeners, with quite hilariously mixed results. This will be the episode to herald in a new era. May there be 100 more episodes to follow! Cheers.
