This week’s episode is also abbreviated, as Jordan is somewhere in Pennsylvania looking for a gingerbread house while Paul is still trying to pack his entire NES library into a single suitcase. Jonah and Paul still got in enough time to do a Gaming Flashback on Thief: The Dark Project, and the following news items:
- Steam forums hacked
- Xbox 360 failure rate down to 10%
- Sony revamps< PSN sharing policy
- BioWare and EA send cease-and-desist order to NeoGAF over Mass Effect 3 spoilers
All this and Reader Feedback, too, as well as a new Question of the Week, “If you have the opportunity to read or view a highly anticipated game’s story months before it was released, would you do it or would you deliberately turn it away to preserve yourself from spoilers?” Let us know!

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?”
