It doesn't really need to be a podcast, given that he's posting them here. Save them and add them to your iTunes library if you want.

Also, his voice work probably wouldn't be as emotive without being punctuated by all the cleverly interlaced pictures.

You bring up a great point.

I don't play grand theft auto because of the sexual scenes present in franchise. I know it isn't a political issue, but I think morals can be a deciding factor in whether you play a game or not.  It's the same thing with seeing a movie or reading a novel.  

There are a few exceptions, though.  For some of the my favorite franchises, I would still play them.  If Metroid started showing Samus naked or something, I would probably still the play the game.

nobody bought gta for the sex. we all did it cause we could as a "hey i heard you can do this" kind of thing, did it, laughed, then went about killing everyone and causing mayhem. i personally am amoral when i play games cause i see them as games and nothing more. i dont feel sorry for the innocient people in prototype that i pick up and consume any more than i feel sorry for the military men that i split in half with my sword or their families.

as far as not buying a game due to my own hatred of the creators political beliefs, if its fun ill play it. if its really fun i will actually buy it.

keep this in mind next time you boycot something based on someone elses political beliefs.

we all accept that pizza and spaghetti comes from italy, italy was part of the axis of evil in ww2, so by that standard you should never eat pizza or spaghetti again because it supports fascism and nazi beliefs.

just something to role around in your head before you jump on a bandwagon

If Metroid starting showing Samus naked... well lets just say getting 100% would be a pleasure indeed! Super Metroid > Life

I think MW2 is a really good example of what he's talking about here, at least in one form.  It's not all about what some people might disagree, but the whole overhyped No Russian thing is definitely a good example.
