The regular podcast is back, after the Dr. Who outtakes podcast last week. The show runs a little long but it’s full of insight and wonderfulness. Mostly. This week’s Gaming Flashback is the classic arcade motorcycle racer Hang-On.

The podcast also has two week’s worth of news items, including:

Next-gen Xbox formally being unveiled on 21st May in Redmond, WA
Rumor: Next-gen Microsoft console will have DVR feature
Leisure Suit Larry Reloaded out in June, “re-made, expanded and enhanced”
BioShock Infinite, Xbox 360 lead March 2013 US sales according to NPD
Nintendo bowing out of E3 Keynote
Microsoft turned profit in fiscal 3rd quarter
Batman: Arkham Origins inspired by Legends of the Dark Knight

Plenty of Listener Feedback, but no Question of the Week – just ask us anything.
