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.

This week’s episode of Gaming Podcast has a special guest co-host, Andrew Yoon, formerly of Joystiq and currently in card game and video game development. The Gaming Flashback is the one that started them all: LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game.
The slow news week includes:

- Sony delays PS4 in China
The Question of the Week: “What is your favorite, if any, LEGO videogames?”
Episode 265: See You After E3Episode 265: See You After E3
This episode is a little late due to the holiday, but at least it’ll give everyone something to listen to when there’s no episode next week due to Jonah Falcon and Paul S. Nowak heading to E3.
In the meantime, the gang covers the following news:
- THQ: “Linear is not a dirty word for an FPS”
- Pachter decries on-disc DLC as “just plain greed”
- Crysis 2 returns to Steam
- The Old Republic still has one of the biggest dev teams in industry
Along with the usual Reader Feedback, the crew this time asks the readers to ask some questions, instead of the other way around. Let us know what you want to know.
Episode 678: ParadoxicalEpisode 678: Paradoxical
This week we check out Paradox Interactive’s showcase, as well as the following news:

- Evidence is mounting for an upcoming Minecraft Bedrock world editor mode
Let us know what you think of Paradox’s lineup.
@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:
