This week, Paul can’t make it, so we bring on a Paul substitute, Dan Quick of the PolyCast podcast – and the show doesn’t skip a beat thanks to Dan behaving like Paul without realizing it. This week’s Gaming Flashback explodes like a blood sausage with Wasteland.

- Skyrim DLC won’t follow same model as Fallout DLC
- Electronic Arts terminates “free Battlefield 3 for preordering Mass Effect 3” deal early
- Alan Wake on PC because Remedy “a nagging little kid” to Microsoft
