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.

Episode 459: This Week and LastEpisode 459: This Week and Last
So, thanks to an untimely computer breakdown, last week’s episode could not be run in a timely manner. So, this double-length episode features an off-the-cuff discussion of videogames with no notes, with last week’s episode tacked on. There’s not much editing in the episode, due to the fact Jonah has to rush off to Boston to attend PAX East over the weekend.
Last week’s “news” includes:
- Middle Earth: Shadow of War leaked then announced
- Microsoft announces Netflix-style gaming for the Xbox One
- Videogame industry lobbying to maintain “repair monopoly”
- Microsoft plans to bring mixed reality to the Xbox in 2018
All this and some Listener Feedback
Episode 386: Late Yet AgainEpisode 386: Late Yet Again
Another late podcast, as Summer is in sight, and E3 looms ahead. Some minor audio issues with the podcast, but still the same podcast-y goodness we can expect from Paul and Jonah.
The news includes:
- Analysts: “Greed, fear, and the potential to change the world” will drive VR
- Casey Hudson joins Microsoft
- Humble Bundle debuts Wii games
- World of Warcraft players are pissed their characters can’t fly
- Final Fantasy 15 news coming next week
All that and Listener Feedback.

Jonah and Paul send a brief missive about the current state of the podcast.
@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:
