No, you’re not going backwards in time. This is the episode that was supposed to air a few weeks ago but was sidetracked by a faulty power supply. Of course, the episode was recorded on Friday the 13th, back when Fallout 4 was fresh and new.
The old news includes:
- Bethesda sells 12M units of Fallout 4 for $750M at launch
- October 2015 NPD: Xbox One won the month, despite PS4 price drop
- Rapper predicted Smash Bros. future
- Night Dive working on complete remake of System Shock, discussing System Shock 3
The Question of the Week, “Do you or have you pulled videogame all-nighters on weeknights?”, was repeated in episode 406. But you can still answer the question.

This week, Jonah has the flu, but still manages to host despite hacking and coughing (which was edited out of the podcast), and having a nasally voice as well. Jordan was not so lucky, and couldn’t make it at all. Despite all this, the crew manages to give Dan a sendoff in his last regular podcast.
The news was also pretty major this week, including:
- THQ finally dissolved, assets auctioned off
- Dead Space 3 micro-transactions for players wanting “instant gratification”
- Disney Infinity to feature on-disc DLC, susceptible to movie spoilers
- League of Legends Team Solo Medbi players receive lifetime bans for anti-Semitism and abuse
- Sony fined 250K GBP for April 2011 hacker intrusion
We also have Reader Feedback and a new Question of the Week: “What kind of microtransactions are acceptable?”

- GameStop developing console and PC game streaming
- Is the Xbox 720 chip set?
- Sony on when they’ll consider the PS4
