Episode 510: Red Dead SurpriseEpisode 510: Red Dead Surprise
This week’s episode didn’t initially have a Gaming Flashback, but the crew accidentally started one with 2010’s Red Dead Redemption, which shouldn’t be a flashback since it fails the “10 Year Rule”, but it was so fun to talk about, it became one. They also found some interesting stuff in a thin-news week, which is the usual for Summer.
The news includes:
- Valve adds temporary fix for fake item scams on Steam
- Halo devs not working on Battle Royale mode for Infinite
- Nintendo Switch sales near 20m, down slightly on last year
- Playground Games staffs up for the rumored Fable reboot
Let us know what you think.
Episode 258: New BloodEpisode 258: New Blood
Because you asked for it, the podcast features four guys, including Jonah Falcon, Paul S. Nowak, Jordan Lund, and Dan Quick. This is the no frills edition, however, as due to travel to PAX East, there’s no Gaming Flashback, and only a few news items.
They include:
- Rumor: Xbox 720 will require constant internet connection
- Spector saw “look of fear in people’s eyes” over musicals in Epic Mickey 2
- GAME acquired by OpCapita, no store closures planned
- Sony confirms Zipper Interactive closure
- Wii U less powerful than PS3, Xbox 360, developers say
We also include Reader Feedback. We’ll have a Question of the Week next week, we promise.
Episode 494: Power OutageEpisode 494: Power Outage
This episode’s release was delayed by Spectrum internet problems which can be sorted with a VPN like cubik thanks to rain caused by El NiƱo, but that didn’t stop Jonah from enjoying the Turtles. The news was slow this week, so there’s a lot of banter about why Gaming Flashback title Grand Theft Auto IV was one of the best reviewed games of all-time, and how the crew thought it sucked. Maybe it was because of Roman constantly asking them if they’d like to go bowling or something.
This week’s news includes:
- CD Projekt touts Cyberpunk 2077 as a “blockbuster franchise”
- Minecraft Chemistry update goes live
- Bandai Namco outlines plans to address Dragon Ball FighterZ online issues
Let us know what you thought of Grand Theft Auto IV.
