This week is a celebration of the 250th episode of the Videogame Roundtable, and Dan Quick is back for the special edition, joining fellow PolyCaster Scott Dirk. However, TJ Denzer was at the bowling alley, so he wasn’t available. There’s a lot of Cards Against Humanity and Town of Salem talk, as well as a lot of long-missed byplay between Dan and Jonah Falcon. Unfortunately, Paul Nowak couldn’t make it.
The news this week includes:
- Bethesda working on a “bleeding-edge” RPG
- Diablo II gets first official patch since 2011
- Forza Motorsport 6: Apex won’t crossplay with Xbox One version
- Nintendo explains why only the New 3DS plays SNES games
- U.S. DoJ increases hostility towards Apple in latest court filing
Let us know what you think.

Congratulations to PopCap for showing why casual games will always be a viable market. Let’s put this in perspective, investors believe GTA IV will push 13-million sales by the end of 2008 and, as of January 2008, Halo 3 had sold 8 million copies. PopCap’s little casual game has hit 25 million units sold, that’s fairly impressive considering these blockbuster titles haven’t achieved such numbers.
