Episode 449: More Technical DifficultiesEpisode 449: More Technical Difficulties
For the second week in a row, the podcast has had some technical issues. This time the problem was less, but there are still present. Part of the reason is that the mic is subpar, the other is that the PC it’s being recorded on has a damaged fan. That said, this week’s episode (and the unreleased episode) were really good. The unpublished one will be issued at some future date when we all need a break (maybe over the Christmas week.)
This week’s episode includes:
- Assassin’s Creed 3 goes free, murders Ubisoft servers in the process
- After Blizzard shutdown, legacy World of Warcraft server returns this month
- Halo 5: Forge custom game browser is launching on PC this week
- Report: Nintendo Switch will get GameCube Games
