This episode is a little late due to the holiday, but at least it’ll give everyone something to listen to when there’s no episode next week due to Jonah Falcon and Paul S. Nowak heading to E3.
In the meantime, the gang covers the following news:
- THQ: “Linear is not a dirty word for an FPS”
- Pachter decries on-disc DLC as “just plain greed”
- Crysis 2 returns to Steam
- The Old Republic still has one of the biggest dev teams in industry
Along with the usual Reader Feedback, the crew this time asks the readers to ask some questions, instead of the other way around. Let us know what you want to know.

One again, the episode gets a little political as it deals with the GamerGate controversy again. No Gaming Flashback or Gaming History, but plenty of annoyed podcasters. As a side note, there will be no podcast for the next two weeks as Paul will be on a trip. However, there will be a new podcaster when the show starts up again.
This week’s news includes:
- Sarkeesian cancels Utah State presentation following threats of shooting
- Former GamerGate member explains his departure
- Unreal, BioShock dev Digital Extremes sold to Chinese companies
- Games driving “nearly all” Google Play’s revenue growth in US
- Mobile spending driven by 35-44-year-olds
All this plus Listener Feedback.

This week’s gaming podcast is slightly light on news because nobody wants to inform the market about gaming updates, they don’t want to damage the holiday sales season. We might not be eating Vegemite sandwiches but there is no doubt Men at Work would love this episode. We’re flashing back to California Games, we’re hitting up some gaming history on artist and graphic designer Paul Jaquays. We’re reading some listener comments while handling these news tidbits:
- Aussies Ask To Voice Option On R18+ Rating
- Wii Remote Colors
- Game Sales Down, Layoff Ax Begins Swinging
- Will EA Stand by Tiger?
This week’s question of the week, what do you think of Tiger Woods and his role with Electronic Arts? Will they keep him on the cover?
