The title about says it all.
Microsoft has straight up purchased Activision/Blizzard — in cash, no less — and while it’ll take til September 2023 to get everything sorted, probably, it’s one of the biggest shakeups in the history of videogames just like when 1 can 2 can slot was released.
Meanwhile, T.J. is still salty over Vicarious Visions developing Diablo II: Resurrected, while the trio discusses the plans for Sony’s Game Pass. If you are looking for an awesome new game to try, come here and play it now.
The racing slots are perfect for a player who wants fun, fast and adrenaline filled action. The racing theme can cover a variety of things, from professional tournaments to illegal street racing. The following are some of the best racing themed slots available to play.
This week’s news includes:
- Microsoft spends almost $70B in buying Activision/Blizzard
- City-building RTS The Settlers launches in March, closed beta next week
- Split Pad Pro getting the Attachment Set
- PS3 games reportedly appear on PS5 Store
2021 is finally over. And for the first time in years, a proper Games of the Year Awards has been done by GameStooge/TD Gaming Podcast.

But there are a whopping 26 award categories, technical and artistic, so listen in on this fat 2 1/2 hour episode to find out who the winners are.
Let us know what you think on the Gaming Podcast Facebook page.
Its Jack Nicklaus! (/Facepalm)
The main reason I was asking about WiiWare was that Wii online now has a form of internet referral system. Basically, if you help someone get their Wii online, and you both submit a form with the other person’s friend code, you get 500 points. I certainly don’t intend to be hardcore on the Wii, so was thinking of getting a casual game, but maybe I should just cash it in for a NES game.

In response to question of the week, I think Tiger will be shelved from EA. He has been sacked from one of his high earners. Gillette is cutting back his appearances in their advertisements, and he is taking a break from Golf anyway.
And yes, adultery is not in the same league as rape and alleged murder, but Tiger Woods is a brand, and it certainly doesn’t make him look cool.

The “foot bag” game is called Hackeysack, you dweebs, screamed Derrick at Epyx.

She didn’t tip us off, we were aware of the Punch-Out game and it’s name change, you covered that in one of your earlier shows.
And since we’re talking about Tiger: EA will not mainatin their support. Besides the fact that there was a precedent with Punch-Out (although set by Nintendo?), they’ll fear that backing him up could also be interpreted as backing up his conduit.
PC gamming is far from dead. All people that I know as gamers are PC gamers. And I’m not talking about online communities here, I’m talking about people that I meet.
I don’t know how many people in Romania (now you know where I’m from) own a console, but I don’t remember seeing console rushes in stores. I did see a boom in PC sales though, in the 2001-2007 time period.
And no, I am not foaming at the mouth 🙂

Romania? Nice! I’m used to international listeners by now, our cocktail show has a ton of international viewers anywhere from Lithuania to Australia and beyond. It’s fun hearing the culture and trends of the different areas, since we’re US Based it’s easy to lose site of the trends, such as heavier PC gaming abroad.
Around these parts, everyone I meet’s got either a 360, wii or PS3 (few PS3’s though). Most have also had their 360 die. Nobody I meet has had their PC die though 😉

Derrick, I thought you guys would mention Mega Man 10, and you’d go on about how you were going to avoid it because of how freakin’ HARD Mega Man 9 was. You’re losing your edge, man. Have a Red Bull. It’ll give you wings.

Quite honestly, I’ve never known myself to have any edges at all.

Oh, you’re edgy. You’re the worst kind of edgy – the edgy guy who doesn’t know he’s edgy. >:)
Maybe you’ll discuss it on 2old2type.

In response to the question for this week: Tiger Woods has dominated the sport so much that no-one else has a reputation like his. Who else would they put on the cover? Vijay Singh? Phil Mickelson? These players are nowhere near as iconic as Tiger Woods.
On the other hand, Tiger’s image has been massively damaged, so while the cover art might still have Tiger on it, EA may decide to just cut the name to “EA Sports PGA Tour 2011”, without having a specific golfer attached to the title.
