This week is packed full of gaming goodness, as the winner of the Civilization V contest is revealed. If that weren’t enough, the news items for the week invoked a lot of conversation:
- New Halo 4 multiplayer details revealed
- EA dismisses “big layoffs” claim, always “growing and morphing”
- Rumor: Microsoft finding new ways to “monetize” Xbox Live
The podcast also features some great, heartwarming Reader Feedback as well as a new contest to win a code for Magicka. The question of the week, “What books featuring magic do you like the best?”
Episode 295: We Need a NurseEpisode 295: We Need a Nurse
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?”
Episode 463: Not an April Fool’s EpisodeEpisode 463: Not an April Fool’s Episode
This week’s episode has nothing to do with April Fool’s Day, since that was a week ago. There’s nothing surprising about the crew this time around, though Jonah does finally give his final (?) thoughts on Mass Effect: Andromeda, and Zelda keeps getting heavy praise. The Persona 5 news item alone spurred a ton of debate.
This week’s episode includes the following news:
- Twitch and YouTube streamers slam Persona 5‘s video policy
- Total War: Warhammer 2 announced with a new trailer
- Valve only wants to sell you good games
- Nintendo might have accidentally revealed that Pokemon is coming to the Switch
Let us know what you think of the heated discussions in the episode.
