The podcast is back as Paul S. Nowak is back from his vacation, and he brought back a new co-host with him. Devin Grimes, who once upon a time wrote for GameStooge, is now a part of the team. This week’s podcast also includes a new Gaming History, discussing the Nintendo DS.
The news items include:
- Ebola scare drives sharp rise in Plague Inc. downloads
- Twitch bans ‘sexually suggestive clothing’ in new terms
- Dying Light cancelled for PS3 and 360
- Xbox One available for $349 Starting November 2
- Sony apologizes for Driveclub‘s ongoing launch woes
No Listener Feedback, but a new Question of the Week: “When did you first start listening to this podcast?”
The anonymous source is running around with a bunch of neat rumors, such as a LittleBigPlanet release on the PSP but the one that may hit home most with gamers is price cutting. The PS3 has been around for a few years now and hasn’t budged on the price tag; they’ve had fire sales on obsolete products (smaller disk drives mainly) but no official drops.
Square Enix, like many developers today, look to combine their efforts with like-minded individuals making video games for our industry. Recently they put out a bid to pickup Tecmo and expand their development archive to new heights by jumping into a few more genre’s without starting at the ground floor.
I started listening to your podcasts in June of this year. I think you are doing a great job. I want to also thank you guys for the items I received for winning the contest back in July. They are awesome. I especially love the Sims t-shirt. Keep up the good work!!!
I hope you guys saw the South Park episode “Freeium isn’t Free”, pretty much why I stopped playing all Facebook and Mobile IOS app games.
As for the QofW, I started when Dan joined your Podcast and have enjoyed it thus far. Welcome to Devin and I look forward to more episodes from you three.
