The Content

We're not going to lie, this was a strange week. Regardless, we soldiered on and brought you a typically ludicrous episode of TalkRadar, with all of the discussions of men's genitals that you could hope for. We also recorded part of the show during a community event at a bar, so it's... a little weird. But who cares about weird! Here are some pictures (check out 510BrotherPanda's awesome cactuar in one of the images being held by our very own Hank):

In the Community

The question of the week was "What games got you through the last few weeks?" and there are a ton of answers on the forum.  There was some nice fan art this week, including some nice full-color images and interesting comics. Oh, how we love you guys. You can check them out below (the gallery will be back next week, folks) or find more on official fan art thread, here.  

Above: Marco's Jake is all sorts of bad-ass

Above: As usual, Bladdercat knocks both images out of the park

Above: We sort of love Jake's expression in JMarsella09's image

Above: Extra points for... everything. This is just amazing, codystovall

    I was in the last ten minutes of 196 when comaqi told me the news, that was a very long ten minutes. I've never been in the forums or anything before even though I've been a listener for over a year but I had to make an account for this. Your guys are going to be very missed, and I hope you all find jobs quickly, goodbye and good luck.

    Everyone is leaving because GamesRadar is slowing dying, shriveling into a squealing raisin of a site that used to be.

    Now they just put up news I read one Kotaku the day previous, reviews people do nothing but complain about, graphical comparisons to cause fanboy strife, beta keys for games we'll never play, and the incredibly weak Top 7s we're getting.

    The lack of Brett, Chris, Tyler, and Mikel (who formed a large portion of the humor in a lot of the articles) also hurts. Now we only have Henry and Charlie left from the great days of TalkRadar.

    Our new friends on the podcast are entertaining, to say the least, but they've yet to show they can be as cleverly crude as Brett. Brett did introduce us to the golden line: "We're the house that Abe Lincoln's boners built!"

    Godammit, this podcast needs to get everyone back together. Somehow, at some point, get everyone onto an episode. Hell, make it a month of episodes, and I put $20 into LaserTime. Not much, but I'm not exactly old enough to put forth $200.

    I have really enjoyed Mike's participation in the past few weeks. I really want to thank Chris for continuing to be on the cast. Without him it wouldn't feel like TDar anymore. I STILL DON'T THINK HANK GETS THE CREDIT HE DESERVES!! I LOVE YOU MAN!! With Mikel, Chris, Hank and Coop the show will still be great. Coop you have been a great addition. Mikel I love you. I'm a little drunk with a tear in my eye.

    I've listened to Chris on a few other podcasts that don't feature other Tdar members, and just having him there doesn't make them quite as entertaining as Tdar. It's the chemistry between him and Brett, Mikel, and/or Henry most of the time that makes Tdar, and Laser Time so good. The other stuff is fine, but it lacks a little something.

    It's sad to see so many changes that have taken place since Episode 100 but I have a feeling that the 'cast will still continue. Even if it doesn't, Lazer Time and VG Empire exist still and since everyone let go were so incredibly talented, I have no doubt they will find success (or a job) in the coming months.

    I really don't know how many more departures I can take before I say enough is enough. I'm so glad Chris has stuck around but if Reparaz goes so do I!

    Mikel will be the absolute last straw for me, I mean, I love Coop and Henry, but if Mikel leaves, I don't think I can stay.
