This is a Gaming Podcast lite episode, it’s got less calories because we’re right in the middle of travel plans heading to New Orleans for Tales of the Cocktail (conference). This is also the reason the show is going out late this week as I’m posting it from a hotel room with crappy wifi, but we did it… we got it done. I’m keeping the show notes simple this week because we’re rushed for time.

Gaming Podcast 194: Too Much Coffee Causes Genital HangnailsGaming Podcast 194: Too Much Coffee Causes Genital Hangnails
The longest title recorded on the books, let’s hope it fits! 🙂 This week we covered the gaming history for Adventures of Lolo and a bit about HAL Labratory all in honor of a new game we recently purchased to play with our kids: Kirby’s Epic Yarn. So far so good, our son is enjoying 2-player mode with us. This week we did an on-the-spot mini-review breakdown of Kirby’s Epic Yarn while hitting up some gaming news including:
- STEAM SURPASSES 30 MILLION ACCOUNTS
- Epic thinks Nintendo 3ds is not on par with iPhone 3GS
- Kinect Director puts foot in his mouth
- Microsoft uses Angry Bird icon without permission
- Blizzard is suing Starcraft hackers
Of course, a special thanks for Herr Alien and all his news posts this week, we got a bunch of them into the show. This week’s question o’ the week, what musician/group would you like to see featured in a video game and what genre would fit them?
Episode 680: E3 GoneEpisode 680: E3 Gone
E3 2023 has been officially canceled, and there’s speculation that E3 might be over — the guys have an idea how to fix it, however. Vampire Survivors wins Best Game at the BAFTA’s, an Easter Egg is found in Resident Evil 4 Remake, and Sony’s not having a good Spring.
The news includes:
- 11 members of Congress argue Sony is unfairly hurting Xbox in Japan
- The “Gamers Lawsuit” against Microsoft has been dismissed
- MultiVersus open beta ends in June & the game will go offline till full launch in 2024
- Sony PSVR2 headset off to slow start as Metaverse push sputters
Let us know what you think.
Episode 294: Naked BribingEpisode 294: Naked Bribing
This week has a full crew again with Jordan, Jonah, Paul and Dan, and even though there’s no Gaming Flashback or Gaming History, there’s a ton of news to pour over.
This week’s news includes:
- Jay Wilson steps down from Diablo III stewardship
- The Secret World sees ‘400% increase in activity’ after December relaunch
- Mojang: Minecraft XBLA outsold Minecraft PC in 2012
- Gas Powered Games confirms major layoffs
- Sony settles lawsuit with Kevin Butler actor Jerry Lambert
- Pachter: Nintendo is “a few years late” in everything they do
On a sadder note, Dan announced a day after the podcast recording that he will be employed full-time and no longer have the time to be a regular member of the podcast.
This week’s Question of the Week: “What game do you want to see a sequel to the most?”
@Sony’s 3d at 720 vertical resolution:
Basically admitting that 3d is more that they can handle …
He’s right about not being able to spot the difference. Usually I play a game to enjoy the action and the story. I don’t pay too much attention to the 3D details.
You can actually play games on PC in 3D, today, using anaglyph glasses and third party video card drivers :O 🙂
@EA and Ubisoft
They need cash … Usually you sell when either you need cash or the asset you’re selling tends to become worthless.
With Assassin’s Creed 2 done, I don’t think Ubisoft is doing bad. So yeah, I think EA just needs money.
@listener comments (again :P)
120 GHz! Surely you mean 120 Hz. Not GHz.
The Wall St. Journal apparently falsified its report:
